One Night

Rainy Night

Outside on the busy streets I could hear the sound of rain hitting the pavement and ricocheting of the window pane. It was unusually dark outside. The only lights were street lamps that shone into the room with a soft glow. I lay with my back against the tough mattress hoping my eyes would adjust to the pitch black room. Against my chest Mike rested his head is breathing coming out evenly as he slept. I let my fingers run through his hair and down his back. The soft glow of the light allowed me to see his peaceful face. His pale skin glimmer n the light reveling every birthmark.All the stress of playing gigs and rehearsals were gone, the only stress on his mind were dreams. I envied him, I could t manage to fall asleep. My eyes wandered to the clock. It read 3:45 am. I let out a sigh and carried on making small circles on Mike's back.
Around 4:30 am Make became restless, I could see it as his brows knit together and he seemed to not find a comfortable postposition. I cooed at him trying to help him drift off again. I was suddenly interrupted by Mike "okay, okay. I give in". His words were sluggish. He must have been sleep talking "I said I give in! Haha!!" He squirmed a bit as he laughed. I raised my brow trying to figure out were this was all coming from. "Andy,oh Andy.....never let go" in reflex I pulled him closer to me, this action made a smile play on his lips. He let out a content sigh, or was it a moan? Gingerly I kissed him in the head and looked back to the window. "I wish this would never end" he said in almost a whisper. Even though I could only picture what he might be dreaming about, which was now very obvious against my side, I too thought of how I wished my time with Mike would never end. I couldn't imagine someone I'd rather play bass with. He made me feel alive and cared for. Everything was different with him. Suddenly breathing seemed easier and my mind was clearer. I kissed him once more, this time on the corner of his smile. This night would stay with me forever and I was so grateful.
