The first time I saw him I had been sixteen years old. His name was TJ Webster. He had light brown hair and beautiful green eyes and was very fit. I had just moved in next door to him. He was at least five years older then me and had a girlfriend but it didn’t stop me from crushing on him. He became close friends with my older brother Terry and would visit at our house a lot. As three years passed by my crush for TJ grew and grew. I told only my best friend Jenny about my crush, she thought I was nuts to want to be with such an older guy. It was my nineteenth birthday and my friends had a surprise party, the biggest surprise was when I realized TJ was there.
“Hi Tara,” TJ said I could only smile“ Here I got you this,” He handed me a bouquet of fresh picked flowers. My heart melted even more.
“TJ there beautiful,”
“ I’m glad you like them,”
After a few hours of chatting with friends and sneaking glances at TJ, I decided to go talk with him. We talked for hours on end about anything and everything at the end of the night he kissed me. It was the sweetest most wonderful kiss I ever had. Weeks turned into months and we spent most of our time together.One year had past and onee night in particular I’ll never forget ever.

It was a Saturday night and he had made plans to take me out.
“ You look beautiful tonight Tara,”
“ Thank you,” I still felt shy when he complimented me
He walked me to his new apartment, he didn’t live next door to my parents anymore. When we entered the room my heart leaped in my throat. The whole room was filled with candles.
