“I promise to be there for you, in every firework, in our destined place, here. Because that is what love is. Real. Honest. Every Christmas, I will always be here, waiting for you even in every New Year. Just give me…”

Out of the blue, I kissed him on the cheek without letting him finish his words.

“…A chance.”

In return, he kissed me too on my cheek. The next thing he did was lean in close, aiming for my lips.

“This is my first kiss. I feel nervous.”

“Don't worry. I am an expert in kissing.”

That made me laugh. “You're crazy.”

He kissed me while the fireworks in the sky appeared at the same rhythm and moment I had my first kiss.
