Mistletoe? Or true Christmas Love?
Hi! I’m Oakley! I’m 15 and I live in Missouri.
It was Christmas Eve and I was at a Christmas party with a whole bunch of my friends, along with people I didn’t know. I had just been hanging out with my friends, playin games, eating food, and talking.
I saw my crush across the room we made eye contact a few times but we quickly looked away. I couldn’t help wondering what he was thinking at that moment.
My best friend whispered in my ear, “what if you were under mistletoe with him?! He’d have to kiss you!!”
I realized at that moment he was walking towards me. My crush Dakota was walking towards me! He came up to me and said Slightly awkwardly “Hey. Can you come with me? I need to give you something.”
I followed with butterflies in my stomach, scared about what was gonna happen. I ignored everything around me, but stared at Dakota’s back as he pulled me along through the crowd holding my hand. I could feel beads of sweat form on my forehead. We stopped before I even realized it. We stood facing each other he looked into my eyes, I looked back. I had butterflies but yet at the same time I felt so calm, it was as if peace washed over me.
Dakota sheepishly explained why he brought me over there, “I wanted to give you your Christmas gift.”
I was slightly confused but before I knew what was happening, he was kissing me! Kissing me!! I was so shook. I closed my eyes and soaked in that precious moment I knew I would never forget. After what felt like sweet eternity he pulled away. I looked deep into his eyes shocked.
“Merry Christmas.” He said with a smile right before he walked off. I stood still, waiting for my brain to comprehend what just happened. I looked up to see mistletoe right above where he had just kissed me. I couldn’t help but break out into a great big grin as I walked back to where my best friend stood. I still couldn’t process what had happened. My crush, the guy I’d liked ever sense I was in 6th grade, had just a Kissed me!!!
