The red fabric slides down my body, opening up into a flare. Out of the very few sundress that I have this is one of my favourite. The sleeves fall off my shoulder in an elegant manner, creating the perfect view for my collarbone. If only I had a necklace to wear with it. My only silver necklace is dirty and I haven’t gotten time to get it cleaned.
I catch my phone light up on the bed from the corner of my eye, hastily I grab it, my purse and hurry downstairs. Then I remember I haven’t put on my earrings yet and I once again, hastily run back to my room, grab my silver earrings and run back downstairs.
“Mum, I’m leaving.” I call out over my shoulder, one foot out the door. I probably would’ve had time to put on my earrings upstairs cuz Michael doesn’t seem to be in a hurry. “Hi,” I’m the one to kiss him on the cheek today. I woke up elated and nothing has stepped in the way of my happiness today.
“You look beautiful.” He says really meaning it and the smile on my face just spreads wider.
“Thank you.” I’ve tried so hard to push the memory of yesterday at the back of my head but it hasn’t worked. I can still feel his warm breath on my neck, his firm hand around my thigh and
his length all the way inside of me. I suppress a shiver.
He looks so relaxed next to me, eyes fixated on the road. I wonder if he might be having the same thought as me and just hiding it. As if he heard my inner voice, he places his hand on my
thigh and I melt.
“Did your aunt maybe mention why she wants me to come over?”
Frowning, he shakes his head. “She probably just wants the company. She’s been away for a really long time.” He takes one look at me and smile to himself. “You woke up in a good mood
today.”
My mouth opens to speak but instead of words what comes out is laughter. I don’t know what to say. He’s right. He shares the blissfulness with me. I’m so happy that I can’t even think straight.
My cheeks are already starting to ache and I love it. Something that would’ve gotten me worried long ago now only adds to the enjoyment.
I replayed every action in my head last night and laughed every time I caught myself slipping. I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to stop thinking about it for the next two weeks. Oh what Mum
would do to me if she found out the reason why I was late. I wonder how he saw her. His eyes must’ve been opened. Does he usually keeps his eyes open when we kiss?
“You should stop wearing make-up, it doesn’t really hide your blush.”
I turn away, embarrassed. How does he know that I use make-up for that particular purpose? “I really like you.” I remind him in case he forgot.
“I really like you too. Maybe even more.”
“That’s not possible. If you like more than I like you then it’s love. It means you love me.”
“Maybe I do.” Our eyes meet for the first time today. He shouldn’t say something like that if it’s a joke cuz my heart is dumb. The moment ends too quickly. I wanna watch the delicacy of those fascinating eyes. I don’t think I will ever get tired of it. “Now enough with the cheesiness.” His act of annoyance does not work with that merry, little smile at the corner of his lips.
“You like being cheesy.”
“I’m good at it. You’re not.”
“Shut up. Maybe I love you too.” I catch a glimpse of shyness in his expression and I know exactly what to say to get the full effect. “You’re beautiful by the way.”
“Would you stop?” He laughs, trying to keep his face away from me. I’m sure that if he wasn’t driving he would’ve hid his face. He retrieves his hand off of me and pulls his hoodie onto his
head. How great it feels to have him act this way.
