SALLY
The road I knew so well seemed so strange. All the signs I used to look at looked different. The house I used to walk past everyday seemed unrecognizable. I hadn’t been away from this town for that long, but still it seemed totally unknown. Maybe because the snow wasn’t there anymore, or just because I had tried to forget everything that happened here.
I leaned back on a wall and got my phone up. I never liked to wait. I always hated to just stand there and not do anything. I felt so stupid when that happened, so I always did something with my phone. “Hey, sweetie! It’ll be fine, I promise! <3 Say hi to Milly and Rose from me, and of course Mr. Ralph. Remember to tell them why I couldn’t come xx” the last text said. I loved how he tried to encourage me. I was so happy all this was actually working out between us. “Thanks, have fun at work, Frank. Don’t forget to smile xx” I replied and laugh to myself. I thought about how he was complaining about that he had to smile all the time because of customers. “Oh, I’ve missed that laugh so much!” a familiar man voice shouted at me. I looked up and my eyes hit a smiling dude. “Hey, Jack” I smiled. I smiled for real. I was actually really happy to see him. “I’m so happy to see you” he said and hugged me tight. “How is it going?” he asked. “Where do you live now?” he added. “Is it far away?” he asked again. “Relax, let’s go grab a bite and I’ll explain, okay?” I said and grabbed his hand. He smiled as I touched it and I smiled back.
“Two cokes, and big pizza, please” he said and watched the girl go with our orders. “I’m listening” he said and smiled to me. I took a deep breath. This was all so weird. I left him right after we fucked, and now we were just best friends again. Like nothing had ever happened. I didn’t feel awkward, and I was sure he didn’t either. “Well, you know Frank?” I started.

“Tell him hi from me then!” Milly said and hugged me again. Her hugs only had a few seconds between each other and it was like she was desperate. It was so nice to see her again, even the visit at the house didn’t last for long enough. “I will, goodbye” I said. I jumped on the bus and waved to her before the bus started drive. I was pretty tired of the bus though. I could need a car. But right now, I needed the money for other things. It was difficult to believe how well or life was going though. I was happy, oh dear I was. But at the same time, really shocked. I just got back my best friend, and my other best friend was sure that Frank and I was doing it really well. I felt perfect about Frank. To be honest; I never felt that way with Zack. I never regretted my time with Zack, not at all. But I was still sure Frank was a better boyfriend for me. Zack was friend zoned all the time; I just didn’t figure it out fast enough. Now I just hoped time would help him forget and get back to be my friend again. I liked it that way.
Actually I felt like we were in a movie. In one of those American love-movies; where it happens a lot before the couple get together, and then they in the end live happily ever after. Like a fairy tale. I hated those fairy tales, I could never understand why they made the happy endings. ‘It’s no happy ending in real life’ I thought. But maybe I now actually found my happy ending? A life with a boy that truly cared, that I cared about too. More than I had ever cared about anyone. Still not sure why we got together or why we actually became so close, but we did, and that’s what matters. Isn’t it?
The doors I was so used to open when I was sad or mad just opened in a happy mood for once. Or it was my mood that was happy, not the doors. I was almost dancing against our apartment. I had no idea why I was so happy, but I liked it. I liked the feeling of being happy and feeling lucky.
In all sudden I got bumped out of my dancing. “Wow, you’re happy!” he said and smiled. “Guess so” I smiled back and grabbed his hand. Both of us ran-danced up the stairs and we both reached for the key in our pockets. “My turn to open, emodude!” I joked and almost ran against the door. “Oh you wish, happyface!” he replied and grabbed my wrist, dragging me back and turning me around in circles. Suddenly my back hit the door and he held my hands tangled in his. He stared at me for some seconds but I interrupted it with a passionately kiss. As always we lost ourselves on each other’s lips and the world around just disappeared. He moved his tongue around with mine, and his hands kept tangle around mine. “Oh dear.. Young ones today never learned manners.” an old lady said as she went by us. “Just standing there, eating each other.. what a pain their parents must feel” she said again and walked in the elevator. Our laugh tore us apart and we got the door opened. I got out of my convers and laid the jacket on the chair. “Was supposed to say hi from Milly by the w..” I said but he interrupted me. “Thanks, but right now, I won’t focus on anything else than you” he said and grabbed me by the waist, playing around with my tongue gently.
He pulled me with him without disconnecting our lips. Slowly he laid me down on the bed and crawled over me. He kissed down my cheeks and my neck. He continued over my shirt before he pulled it up and kissed the whole way up my body again, until the shirt was over my head. He connected our lips again and played with my tongue. My heartbeat was going so fast but I wouldn’t stop. My fingers played with the hair in his neck before I let my hands wander down his back. I pulled his shirt over his head and my fingers ran over his muscles. He was really skinny and with just a look you would never think he had any muscles at all, but he really did.
We both pulled away to catch some breath and we were smiling like idiots. His ridiculous smile made me laugh so hard. He went down my body again. He sucked at my neck and made me moan quietly. He smiled on my neck and he opened my bra with one hand. I started working on his pants and pulled them down together with his boxers. He started open my pants, but I just interrupt him and pulled them down myself. I had no idea what was going on with me, but it just felt so right. With a very hurry he pulled my panties down so it ended on top of the other clothes at the floor.
He leaned down. It was dark, but I could still see his beautiful eyes. “Sally, I love you” he said with the amazing sparkle in his eyes. I smiled and kissed him. My hard moan disconnected us as he thrusted in me.
His heated body cuddled up to me and the cover was wrapped around us both. “I really do” he whispered, and kissed my head. I could feel his breath in the back of my head. After a while in silence I opened my eyes and stared out in the dark. “Frank?” “mhm?” “I really love you too” I said and closed my eyes.
