It was New Year’s Eve at 11:58 p.m. You never had your first kiss, even though it was stupid and you were nearly 28. Most adults your age were married and had kids by now; you never touched a man, let alone been married to one. Ghost and yourself were out on the balcony, drinking a cheap bottle of alcohol that Ghost brought you, tight git. Ghost was never the “celebrating” type; he always said that it was a waste of time and money. Never celebrating his birthday or special occasions, you’d be lucky if you had a 99p Christmas card from him. “Have you never had your first kiss before?” Ghost asks, and you simply shake your head; it was too embarrassing to actually say it out loud. “Ever?” He raised his eyebrows sceptically. “Ever.” You say. 11:59 PM “Have you?” You turned to face him. “I’ve had my bit of fun, sure,” he smiled. 00:00 AM He crashes your lips together before you can respond, caressing your face.
