Life Never Goes As Planned, Trust Me Part 4

We set a night to work on our project and one of the Lost Boy's buddies asked me if I wanted a ride. Sure, why not? We worked on our project for awhile. It was getting late so we decided to put the rest of the project off for another night. We all started packing up when the Lost Boy asked if I would like to get a ride home. Sure, I hate walking in the dark by myself. So on the way to my apartment we had a conversation that I will never forget. Oh how I wish I could. It was the most embarrassing experience ever. The Lost Boy said something to the effect that "I am sure you don't have any problems with getting the boys." I can’t remember what was all said, but the one thing I do remember saying somewhere in that conversation was just blurting out, "Umm...yeah I have never kissed a boy." Silence, redness engulfed my face and an imaginary fist was hitting me in the head saying, “Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!” Yeah, to this day I have no idea what happened. That is something I never told any guy or to a stranger none the less? Let’s just say me saying that to the Lost Boy started "Operation: Win Christi Over." So much for my vow!?!

So let me explain my no kissing deal. I promise I am not a total weirdo. There is a good explanation. My dad made a deal with the kids in my family that if we waited until we were 16 to kiss then he would give us $100. Yes, back then we thought it was a ton of money. Well, probably only me since I was the only one who made it in my family! I think I was anyways, I don’t remember anyone else getting the $100, but I can be mistaken. Okay so I totally thought it was worth it. I set my heart on that $100 and would not be deterred from my goal. Yes, I rejected many opportunities, but it was worth it in my opinion. So yeah I got to my 16th birthday with no kissing. On my 16th birthday my dad said, "If you can go until your 18 I will give you another $100.” So again, my goal was to take him on. I wanted to prove to everyone that I could do it. So there you are, not totally weird, right?!?! Hahaha...think what you may, I understand! All I know is that it was totally worth it in the end when the day came to break my no kissing streak. Hilarious story!
