My Weekly Horoscope

Chapter 15

"No, I'm pretty sure that ones Orion." I said, extending my hand to end in a point.

"What? Where?" He followed my arm and said, "I don't really see it."

"You haven't been seeing any for the past 20 minutes!" I giggled.

"Well, that's because they all look the same!"

"Do not!'

"All I see are dots!"

I let out a light laugh then, as he managed to pout. Me and Tyler were lying on an old blanket in his backyard, looking up at the clear night sky. My fingers were intertwined with his, while his thumb soothingly rubbed circles on the back of my hand. Every time, I got sparks and tingles.

"You have to connect the dots, silly."

"How? There's like fifty of them!"

"Fifty?!" I broke into a fit of laughter, while he muttered under his breath. His eyes glanced at me, and the humor in them returned. He smiled and snaked his hand out to my rib, tickling me some more. My eyes went wide with shock, then crinkled again to my overwhelming laughter.

"Stop!" I begged breathlessly. He laughed, stopping. His hand then went to my waist and looped around it pulling me closer to him. His arm felt like it was on fire and my breathing quickened. My heart hummed furiously in my chest.

"You look beautiful." He whispered. I took one glance at my clothes, baggy sweatpants and a tanktop. I knew my hair was up in a messy bun. I did not look beautiful. But never less, my heart was pounding so loud I though he might hear it. I looked into his eyes and was caught. He broke the gaze by glancing down to my lips, then up to my eyes again, almost if asking for permission. I shut my eyes then closed the gap between us.

It felt like the first time, only more intense. Sparks raged, making my whole body feel hot. All I could hear was my heartbeat, it sounded like a hummingbird's it was flying so fast. Our lips moved in sync, as if they were made for each other. My heart felt like it could not grow any bigger. I felt so full and alive, it made me giddy with happiness.

I pulled away, the lack of air getting to me. We were both breathless and there was fire in his eyes as I glanced back down to his plump lips. I grabbed his shirt and furiously closed the gap between us again. I got so many sparks I was afraid my body would explode.

Me and you, you and me,

Lets go back and lets go back,

Nineteen Eighty three is callin',

Ive been on my knees and crawlin'

My ring tone, cut through the silence, and made me stop the kiss. Agitated, I grabbed for my phone and held it up to my ear.

"What." I almost barked, but kept my tone neutral.

"What? No 'Hi! So nice to talk to you! How's your life been?'"

"Aw, Shut up Tally, I'm kinda busy."

I took a glance at Tyler to see him laying on his back, chest heaving up and down. He looked up at me with concerned eyes as I mouthed, "Tally." He nodded in understanding. I stood up, walking a little distance away for some privacy.

"Look, I just called you to ask if you wanted to hang out with me and Tate, were going to the cornerstone with the really awesome hamburgers."

I was silent. Tate and Tally, going alone? An unknown inkling spread I to my chest and squeezed at my heart. Suddenly I didn't want them going at all, not without me.
