Can We Pretend

I watch as she walks inside the house, shaking her hair with the towel. She seems different, her body seems unguarded.

The splashes from the water cover my face as my vision becomes blurry . I quickly wipe my face as I no longer see her.

"Get party man!"

"Uh- yea" I say as I swim to the edge of the pool lifting my self up. I quickly grab a towel and dry myself.

I walk into the house looking for her when I spot  her on the balcony  looking out into the city. Running her hand through her hair, her body seems tense but relaxed. I make my way to her

"You know your going to end up eating her hand off" I chuckle as I lean on the door

She rolls her eyes as she stops crewing on her nails Turing her attention back to the city

"You know the party is at the pool not here" I say as I move to stand next to her

"To much people.. I need some space" she says keeping her gaze to the city

I watch her closely, her face showing confusion as her eyes wonder around as if looking for something.. Your really beautiful

"Take a picture it'll last longer" she smirks looking at me

"Oh trust me I would if I had my phone" I wink

"Your pick up lines are pathetic" she says laughing

I gasp holding my hand to my chest "Riley! What a hurtful thing to say! You really hurt me!" I say frowning

I can see her eyes show worry but that quickly fades as she looks away from me

"Oh shut up" she says laughing

"So what's so nice about the view? If you have this view" I say pointing to myself

"Your so into yourself! And to answer your question look at all the lights, the sound, the energy. There's a whole life. It's pretty cool but I miss home." she say looking at me

"You're  pretty" I say smiling

"How many times have you used that" she says tilting her head

"About a billion but who's counting" I say laughing

She laughs as she runs her hand through her hair. She seems different,. There was something new..

"I know how you feel" I say looking at her

"What?" she says facing me

I shrug "moving here.. I know how you feel, you must be anger. I know I was when I had to leave everything behind. You know"

"Yea... That's exactly what it is" she says looking down

"But I can tell your getting comfortable.. Your body is relaxing and less guarded now." I say smiling at her
