Slow Motion

•Goodnight•

It's Saturday afternoon and I'm just getting back from a drive. As I reach my floor I'm met with Taylor who is gliding along on his crutches. We hadn't see each other since Monday as we both have been at work and doing other things.
  When he sees me he smiles and waves me over. I speed walk up to him and give him a quick smile before asking what was up.
"Nothing it's just its Halloween and I wanted to know if you wanted to maybe do something tonight?" He asks.
"Ok yeah that's sounds great" I reply walking to my door.
"Alright cool, come over at about 7ish" he says before waving and walking away. I wave back and then enter my apartment.

I head to my room to get ready as 7 was in 4 hours and I wanted to try and fix my CD player as it had stopped working on Wednesday. I change out of my yellow tee and black mom jeans and into a pink Hawaiian shirt and grey skinny jeans. It was comfortable, but still dressy and Halloween appropriate. I then go to the bathroom and throw my hair into a loose braid.  After that I dig out my make up and start on a simple look. First I do some smoked out black eye liner then follow up with some pink eyeshadow right under my eyes and finish it off  with some mascara and lip gloss. I smile at my work and then glance at the time 4:30pm.

Perfect, I had just enough time to hopefully get my CD player back up and running before heading next door.

I grab my phone and head next door over to Taylor's for a scary movie marathon. I knock 2 times and then the door swings open to reveal my happy friend. He is in a green button up and black pants, smiling brightly at me.
"Come on in sunshine" he says opening up the door fully. I take his invite and walk in. I hadn't been in this place since he moved in just about a month or so ago. It's almost the same except he had dainty lights that lined the top of the trim in the living room. It looked beautiful and I stared in wonder at it.
"Do you like it?" He asks gesturing towards his living room.
"Mmh it's very nice" I say turning to face him. He leads me to the couch and puts on the first movie which happen to be insidious. Which was of my favorites.
As we watch the movie I set my head on him and he doesn't seem to mind a bit and actually wraps his arm lightly around my shoulder. I smile to myself as my face heats up from the butterflies in my stomach. We stay like this through the whole movie and only move to get snacks and once it's over put on the next movie.

During The Haunting In Connecticut I accidentally jump which causes my friend to jump too. He shoves me a little from making him jump. I however just laugh and scoot my way back into my cozy spot turning my attention back to the screen.

When we are through our 3rd movie of the night I'm still not tired and neither is Taylor so we decide to play a board game. It's well past midnight but neither of us have anything better to do.
He comes out from his bedroom with Monopoly and Sorry.
"Which one?" He asks sitting down on the carpet with me, I told him we could play at the table so he didn't have to try and figure out a way to sit down with his foot. He is very stubborn though and insisted we play on the floor.

"Monopoly duh!" I say grabbing the box. He laughs and helps me set up the game.

As we start the game I notice that he is staring at me so I stick out my tongue at him. This snaps him out of his haze and makes him blush like crazy. I giggle at him and roll the dice.

We continue to play for about an hour and a half until I end up kicking his ass and winning.
"You definitely cheated" he says fake pouting

"Sure I did" I joke putting the top on the box and setting it on the coffee table.

"Yep I'm glad you at least admit to it" he remarks trying to remain serious. I laugh a little and shake my head moving over to where he is.
  He gives me a smile and then positions himself so that his head is in my lap. I don't mind and begin to mess around with him hair.

"Do you ever wonder how different you life would be if you had never met someone?" He asks suddenly. The question takes me by surprise but I had an answer. "Yeah I thought about that all the time a while ago, why you ask?" I question looking down at him. "I don't know it just my life would royally suck right now if I didn't have you so" he mumbles hiding his face. My cheeks begins to heat up and I stop messing up his hair.

"That's really nice that you think I make your days better" I remark.

"I don't just think I know" he states grabbing my hand.
My eyes sting with tears from his gentle and kind words. No one had ever told me that before. I was always a disappointment or a problem I was never anyones "Sunshine" as he would say.
"Are you crying?" he asks sitting up quickly concern plastered on his face.
"No it just no ones ever said such nice things to me before" I say wiping my eyes. "Well than they obviously are blind and have no brain" he jokes pulling me close. I wrap my arms around his torso and lay my head on his shoulder.
"Do you feel better now?" He asks looking to me.
"Yeah quite a bit actually" I answer.

"Quite a bit isn't a 100 percent there for I must tickle you to make you feel better"  he says and before I can question what has just said he has unwrapped his arms from around me and is using them to tickle me. He laughs at me as I squeal at him to stop. "Why would I stop?" He asks as he continues to tickle me. "Why wouldn't you?" I fire back at him through fits of laughter. I fall onto my back and he swings his not broken leg onto one side of me pinning me. He then lifts up my arms tickles my armpits making me scream. "Stop stop I beg you" I shout laughing so hard I can barely breathe. "Are you 100 percent happy now?" He questions beginning to stop. "Yes yes I am" I declare gathering my breath. He now completely stops tickling me but doesn't move.  That is until he pulls me up to be sitting but his legs are still on both sides of me. I sit up as much as I can and the set myself up with my arms straight out behind me.
"Hi" I smile at him.

"Hi" he breaths taking in the situation. I can't stop myself from leaning in and he does the same letting our lips connect. The world slows down like it does only in movies as I continue to let it happen. I move my head back slightly to breathe and take in his face. My lip gloss is smeared on his face and his lips are a little swollen. "Sorry" I mumble.
"Sorry for what?" He asks moving so I can fully sit up.

"I told you I would wait till you were over her and then I kissed you" I explain shaking my head.
"I would have stopped you if I wasn't okay with it" he assures grabbing my hand and lightly giving my head a kiss. "Ok but does that mean your over her?" I asks standing up. He stays silent for a moment "I don't know, but I do know that I don't regret that" he replies. "Ok, I will accept that answer" I say helping up the injured boy. I pull him off the floor and he grabs his crutches stealing himself. "It uh getting late I should go" I say quietly.

"Yeah okay go get your beauty sleep" he smiles hobbling after me to the door. He opens it for me like a gentleman.
"I will try to get some sleep, goodnight" I say turning around at my door.

"Goodnight Sunshine..."
