Our first kiss.

After Sam and I had met, we saw each other every day. I was use to getting kissed fast. Not because I was something special, but because that is how it worked in Provo (which is sad and dumb). So when Sam and I had been seeing each other every day I was confused why he hadn't kissed me. He had plenty of chances to.. I was making myself very available 😉 I remember one night he took me out to the Provo Airport on this back road in his truck. And we watched planes come in.. We held hands and he wrapped me up tight in his arms. But nothing.. Nothing. After some time we left the airport and he stopped to show me some horses he loved to go see. I thought this was another very romantic spot, but he just kept talking about owning horses one day and kept wondering if he could ride one bare back. And then we went home. Still nothing. As I waited and waited to be kissed by this perfect boy, I soon realized that it wasn't going to happen for awhile. After a few days I finally asked Sam why he hadn't kissed me yet. He said he wasn't ready to, because he only kisses girls that he is dating exclusively. Ouch. I remember being sad yet hopeful. I knew Sam liked me but was still figuring things out. He left to go to Washington to visit his mission, and while he was gone we would text all day and he'd call me at night. He'd send me pictures and tell me about his mission and the people he served. Finally when Sam came home, he came and picked me up and took me out to Utah Lake. He brought a blow up mattress and a computer to watch a movie on. Sam let me sit in the truck and I waited for him to set everything up. I got tired of waiting and went out to be with him. I stood on the bed of his truck and the lake looked so peaceful and still. He said "come over here" and he grabbed my hands and pulled me down from the truck and kissed me. It was the most perfect beautiful first kiss. The sun was setting and I knew that my single life was setting too. Sam from day one had been different, and I knew this kiss meant he was ready. Waiting for him to kiss me was well worth it. I will never kiss anyone else. 😘❤️
