It was at the same place we hang out everyday after school like always, but today, something about her seems so different. The way her hair falls framing her face perfectly, the way her eyes would light up whenever I began to speak. My gaze falls to her lips and I began to fantasize what it would be like to kiss them. An unwelcome thought. I try to calm myself down and regain my composure but I still have the same urge as before. “Is everything alright?” she asks with a concerned smile. She cares about me. The same feelings I have always had for her in the back of my mind are floating to the surface, and everything falls into place. I like her. I’ve always liked her. All in a manner of seconds I’ve rediscovered the same emotions that I’ve suppressed for so long and a tiny part of me begins to wonder if maybe she likes me too. “Logan, are you ok?” She repeats herself. Without saying another word I take a step towards her, I grab her hands and squeeze them in each of mine. “Logan what are you do-“ her breath catches on the last word because i dont give her a chance to finish her sentence. Because my lips are already on hers, and her lips are right back on mine. It is the most intense and passionate kiss I have ever had. When we come up for air I stare into her arctic blue eyes processing what just happened. We both stay like this for a while, smiling ear to ear, staring into each others eyes both unable to come up with words to describe the indescribable joy we are feeling in this moment. Finally she whispers, “Logan, you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this moment.” And leans in for another kiss.
There was a relief in feeling the storm’s approach A calm, a pause, a feeling of peace As if time stops for a moment The gentle breeze before the howling winds Sprinkles falling here and there before the downpour A clap of thunder in the distance slowly rolling your way Nothing can be done to stop it, u must accept it All u can do is relish in the calm before the storm
“I just- I don’t understand what’s going on with you recently it’s like I don’t even know who you are anymore…you’ve changed.”
There was a pause.
“Well so have you, Stace”
She turned away from him, feeling her cheeks getting hot with anger-but more so hurt.
“I can see it in your eyes Steve, you don’t look at me the same as you used to, you’re barely ever home and when you are, you’re still somewhere else.”
His eyes fell to the floor too ashamed to meet hers
“Steve…do you even love me still?
There was a heavy silence, both of them new the answer, even though a word never left his lips.
