Summer girl / Spot Conlon

Hello Lis here, I'm going to regret posting this because currently it is very late and I wrote this in the middle of the night. BUT do not fear it is content and good I hope? I'll re-read it in the morning. Good night bitches.

(Spot's POV)
There was a big sun shining on my face when I had finished selling papers. I was done just as the mid day had begun, sooner then normal. But that was for a reason, a really good reason.
I ran across town through all the dirty streets and past all the people enjoying the rays of the sun. I didn't bother wasting my time fooling around, I was in a hurry. I needed to be there within 15 minutes, though the edge of the city was a very, very long walk. But when she had proposed to meet me in the fields close to her farm at exactly 12.15pm I had not said no. In the morning I only took 90 papers so it was guarenteed I would sell them before the sun was at the top of sky. If I didn't sell them I would have to return early, and I wanted to spend every second I could afford with her.

Two horses neighed in agony as I almost ran into a carriage. Their legs dangled in the air when I heard the carriage driver yell at me.

"You little street rat, stay out of my way."
I scoffed at the man but suddenly got an idea.
The man was a farmer, you could see it by the way he was dressed and the cargo in the back of the carriage, hay mostly but also carrots, different kinds of fruits and 2 chickens. The poor animals were stuffed into wicker cages with no hope of escaping.
But that didn't matter, what mattered was that I needed to sneak onto his carriage and he would, without knowing, give me a ride to her.

Her hair was beautiful, and the way it danced with the wind was almost enchanting.
Her eyes were beautiful as they sparked with joy. She was happy to see me, luckily.
Her lips were beautiful, the way they moved as she was speaking wonderfull words of inspiration and fantasy.
Everything was beautiful about her.

I wanna take you to my favorite swing set
I wanna take you on a mid-day picnic

The grass tickled my legs, the blanket she brought wasn't big enough for the two of us but that didn't matter. I was at peace seeing her laying there on the blanket, eating a strawberry and smiling until the sun went down. It made me forget about my problems back in the city, where everyday I would wake up with the same goal, surviving. Here in this field it was just me, her and the sun.

I wanna put our phones away
I wanna see how the sun lights up your eyes
When you look at me

She gently placed the "crown" of her finished strawberry on a plate. During that action she also sat down and looked me deeply in the eyes, with her legs crossed and her arms, who were also supporting her head, resting on her knees.

All the world could fade away
The only thing I'd miss would be your face

We talked, the whole afternoon. We ate and we laughed. But most importantly we smiled, she smiled. She was my summergirl.

If all the world was on a page
You would be my favorite phrase
My summer girl

When the summer was over she would move to Europe and I would never see her again. The smiles would just be memories, her laughs would silently be echoed in my head. But atleast she was my summer girl.
