Hope is the Thing with Feathers

Cupcake

After an hour or so of talking and walking, we went back to the motel. and when I opened the door, Sue was sleeping like a little girl curled up on the bed. I took my jacket off and went over to the bed, I took her hair away from her face, she had always been the cutie sleeper. Her cheeks feel like a new born, and her perfume is like being in heaven. I noticed that the blanket was on the couch so I got it, and then laid next to her and the blanket over us "Emily?" She said with a raspy voice, "hey baby" I said unsure if she would be mad for calling her that, she moved around so she was facing me now "I'm so sorry" I could see the tears in her eyes "I'm sorry too okay?" I wiped her tear away, she then moved into my body and we laid there for what feels like years, she fell asleep again but I couldn't sleep knowing that I'm going home...home. It's just a town....with a lot of memories.

I look at the time and it was almost dinner time, I slowly got up so I wouldn't wake her up. We didn't have that much to make dinner by ourselves so I thought maybe some Thai food was the way, I ordered the food and then I could hear something moving in the bed "Emily?" I got up from the couch and over to the bed "good morning cupcake" she giggled "cupcake? That is new" I smiled "well you're like sweet as a cupcake" I could see the blush on her face "I ordered some Thai food, since we don't have that much to make dinner by ourselves. I hope that's okay?" She took my hand "don't ever ask me again if that's okay!" She then jumped on me and started kisses me all over the face, I loved this, I felt home. She was and still is my home "I love you Susan Gilbert" as I was holding her face in my hands "I love you too Emily Dickinson" we both giggled. "Uhm what about Clint? He is eating alone or with us?" I could see he meant a lot to him, and I get that cuz so does he to me "I ordered for him too yes, but I didn't tell him anything, so maybe I should do that" she removed her body from mine so I could go, I went up and as i was about to leave, she took my arm "I want a kiss before you leave me" she smiled teasing "say less" I bow down and gave her kiss
