In honor of Valentine’s Day ….
I am going a bit back….way back
just feeling a bit nostalgic. I am going to tell you about the boy I first
kissed (lol!) I had a crush on this little boy in my school who was everything
to me. I am going to protect his identity but he knows who he is if he
remembers these moments. It was the summer of 1995, twenty years ago. I was 8
years old (yes, little Honey Brown Sugar) was eight lol…well this was way before I became “Honey Brown
Sugar”. I was in third grade and attending Holy Name Catholic School in
Washington, D.C.. We are both the same age actually. He is 4 months older than
me. He had been living in Washington , D.C. by then a few years and I was too.
I first met him in the first grade, he was new in my school and I thought he
was so cute. I used to write him love letters, put my mom’s lipstick on and
kiss the envelope, scribbling his name all over it. All the little girls loved him and it used to irritate me
cause the girls would get mad when I would flirt with him or when he and I had
any moment alone together.
It was so funny my friends teasing
me cause I am attempting to get his attention. I have a confession he is
probably part of the reason I didn’t pass my classes that year either. I was distracted….“Ooooh bad I know”. I
wanted to be with him cause I had strong feelings at that age. It goes to show
you love knows no age…it can come at you when you are just a baby playing with
barbies and hide and go seek.
He and I actually talked on the
phone I did everything I could to get his number, I even had one of my friends
get his phone number. I called him on the phone I was so nervous that I
actually hung the phone up! His mother “*69” (star 69) my Grandmother’s house
phone. My grandmother answered and said “I think my granddaughter must have called
you”. So what happened…his mother came to the school and actually came looking
for me. “Is there a Chloe here?”, “Chloe, I don’t know
I was in my mom’s bedroom, picked
up our old rotary beige phone, lol. I called his number and we began talking on the phone. That summer was the best
because I shared my first kiss with him while we were attending the day camp
program at our school. I told him I had a surprise for him and I kissed him,
pulling him in the hallway, (Aggressive right?) lol! Hey when I want something
I go for it especially in that situation. I felt like the queen! I told my
little girlfriends and jumped for joy.
I transferred going to another school later that year. We never saw each other again, but what
I didn’t realize that actually we could have stayed in touch but God had other
plans in mind.
