Based off of a dream I had. Written mostly so I had some way to remember it in the future.

What we were all doing on the floor, I don’t know. All four of us: Kay, Jake, Matt and I. Just sitting on a bunch of pillows and blankets. Kay and Jake were a thing and always have been. Matt was just as awkward as I was and as much as I always wanted him to make a move, he never did. We were all at Kay’s house hanging out after we had all gotten home from our summer jobs and it was one of those days that you know you’ll remember years from now because it was simply blissful. Kay claimed that she had to use the bathroom, but Jake rushed after her a few seconds later; we all knew what was going on.

It was just Matt and I now. An awkward silence set in, but it was comforting in the way that it was familiar to both of us. Matt and I were sitting cross-legged across from each other looking everywhere else but at the other person. Deciding that sitting up straight wasn’t doing it for me I leaned back and laid my head against a pillow. A lot of things were going through my head at that moment: Why can’t he just make a move? Say something, Megan. What do I look like when I’m laying down like this? Should I sit up again? But before I could do anything someone was pulling me around on the pillow that was underneath my butt. I shot up and saw that Matt was on his feet smiling and laughing a little.

His laugh was contagious. I don’t know what it was about it but I started laughing too. Maybe this was the move that I had been wanting him to take for ages now. It was like one of those moments in the movies where you know that two people are going to kiss in the next scene or two but you don’t know how it’s going to happen. In that moment I was just hoping that I wasn’t reading the signs wrong and he was, in fact, going to kiss me.

Matt placed his hands on my back and pushed me into a corner and then proceeded to turn me around. He sat cross-legged in front of me. I had uncrossed my legs and draped them over top of his legs. It was the closest that we had ever been, and it felt wonderful.  My heart was racing and I was hoping that it didn’t show in my face how nervous I was. He was smiling and I was looking from his eyes to his lips. I’ve never been one for subtlety so there was no hiding how I was feeling then and what I wanted to happen. “I’m going to kiss you now.” Matt whispered inches from my face. Now he was the one that was looking at my lips.

Oh God. This was it. This was the moment that I had been waiting for since the minute I had met Matt. What do I do? Do I lick my lips? Tilt my head? Close my eyes now? Close them after our lips touch? Everything was racing through my head and suddenly my lips were touching mine.

It was a soft kiss. Almost like a little peck on the lips but it lasted a second or two longer. I could feel the stubble on his chin brush against my face. I could feel that his lips were chapped, but it didn’t matter to me. He had finally kissed me. I felt that tingling that everyone always talks about when they kiss the right person go through my body. My hand had moved up to his cheek. The kiss was only a few seconds long but it felt like an eternity and a good one at that.

Our faces separated and I was all smiles. Kay was coming down the stairs just then and I told Matt and he softly said to me “Maybe just one more kiss.” He kissed my cheek and that was it.

There was suddenly a beeping that was everywhere in the house. It almost sounded like my alarm to wake up for class. But then I realized that it was my alarm and this whole thing was just a dream. I opened my eyes and wished with my whole being that this had been real, because it was something that I had been day-dreaming about for months now.
