I woke up and sneezed.
Shaking, I went into the bathroom and washed my face.
I left my room and went to see if Brent was awake.
He wasn't in his room.
I went all through the house looking for him.
Walking out the front door, I saw him sitting under the juniper tree out front and sighed.
... Brent's POV ...
"Do I really want this? Or am I just hero worshipping?" I asked myself.
I looked at the hands that aren't really mine... or, should I honestly think like that at all?
She did this... for me... because we're friends?
We only met a day ago...
"Brent?" I heard.
Looking back, I saw her lit up by the sun and my heart pounded.
In that moment, I couldn't ever imagine life without her in it.
... Josie's POV ...
I saw the tears in his eyes as he watched me.
"Are you okay?" I asked, softly.
"Yes. As long as you're here." He said.
I went and sat down beside him.
He hugged me and I couldn't hold back anymore. I didn't want to.
I kissed him and he stiffened up but relaxed again.
...
She kissed me!
I...
I never want to leave her.
I'd rather die!
Again!
...
When we parted, I wrapped my arms around his chest.
How could a completely different soul make a body's physical appearance so different without really changing anything physical at all?
I killed this body and now, because it's Brent, I can't help but love it.
I laughed.
"What is it?" Brent asked.
"I think... no. I want to know something." I said.
"Okay."
"What's your favorite color?"
"That's kind of hard to answer.
If it's nature, red.
A vehicle? Green.
Anything else? Mocha brown, like your eyes." He said.
We stayed there for a few hours until I heard his stomach growl.
I started to get up and he kissed me.
Letting me go, he smiled.
"Payback." He chuckled.
I went inside and couldn't help it.
I started running through the halls, excitedly shouting until I bumped into him as he closed the front door.
We looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Were you just...?"
"Running through the halls like a child? So what if I was?" I asked, grinning.
