Darkness was swallowing me. The only thing that I could make out was the small light of Joseph his sigaret. It looked like a firefly, small but bright.
You have another one? I asked, while pointing at his cigarette. He probably didn't see me pointing at it but he understood. I heard him opening a packet.
"Take it." He said. I pushed my hands forward in the darkness, somewhere below the firefly.
My hands bumped into something.
"That's my crotch you perv." Mumbled Joseph while laughing.
I laughed too. I was glad it was dark so he couldn't see me blush.
I suddenly felt the cigarette being pushed into my hands.
"Thanks" I said softly while taking my lighter.
The little flame of my lighter made me able to see him standing there, the cigarette dangling from his lips and his hands in his jeans pockets, as if he wasn't sure where to put them.
But what I noticed most of all in those few seconds were his eyes, staring at me. It wasn't a creepy stare that made me feel uncomfortable. It made me feel safe.
The flame of my lighter disappeared and a little firefly appeared right where i thought my hands would be.
And so i sat there on a plastic garden chair. He stood in front of me. Darkness was surrounding us. For someone passing by we would just look like two fireflies and i didn't know how to feel about that.
