Anders was telling her that she was beautiful and amazing and Lauren was trying her hardest to believe him, to see herself in that way, but she couldn't. Not when she had been told otherwise by her parents for her entire life. Not when every inch of her soul told her otherwise every single day.
But Anderson was telling her otherwise, and he seemed adamant about it, like he truly believed it. Lauren searched his face for any sign of falsehood and found none, because he genuinely believed what he was saying. He wanted to be with her. That thought was so wonderful and amazing and glorious that a small smile reached her face, one that was true and genuine.
Then, he kissed her.
The kiss barely lasted a second but as soon as his lips touched hers, it was like her entire body was on fire. It was amazing -- it was her first kiss, too, and she could now understand the hype kissing was given by the people she heard talking about it. It was perfect, it was bliss, because it was from him. She was immediately disheartened when it ended so quickly, though Anderson's next words snapped her out of it. So, will you go out with me or not?
Lauren was still and silent for a few seconds, gazing into his beautiful blue eyes, dazzled by his radiance and warmed by his affections. Slowly, she leaned in and kissed him again, pressing her soft lips to his full ones, wrapping her arms around his slender shoulders and pulling him close. She had never kissed anyone before but she knew what she was doing. Kissing Anderson was the most natural thing in the world.
She pulled away, but only to whisper, "Yes." The soft word hung between them for a moment, before she said it again. "Yes. Yes, I will."
