Mina followed Connor into a side walkway and stood with her back to the wall as the man spoke to her. He pulled out a small box that held the key to a luxury vehicle, and Mina declined the gift as too expensive to accept. He smiled at her, and her heart began to thump in her chest from their proximity. He soothed her concerns, telling her that gifts were not meant to be returned with favors, but it was his request for a kiss that took her breath away.
Mina looked up at Connor whose beautiful blue eyes were staring at her as if she were a rare sight to see. Instinctively, she closed her eyes and parted her lips, waiting for the man's thin pink ones to fall on her own. She wanted to experience a kiss that was not stolen or dreamed. Even if she and Connor only went on to become friends, she wanted to be able to say that her first real kiss was a special and memorable one.
