*35 minutes later*
I grown, we were walking for so long and for the past five or so minutes Robert had me wrap his scarf around my eyes. I sigh loudly and pull on his arm in annoyance. He stops and I hear him turn towards me, snow crunching under his boots. I jump as he places one hand on my hip and one on my arm, I'm about to speak when my lips are stolen, surprising warmth mixed with a sweet smile hidden within. He starts to pull away when I warp my arms around him, he's so tall that it makes me feel like a child. My face aglow with the thought of his tender affection. I dig my face into his coat and I shalily mumble into him.
"Wh-what was that? Why?..."
I hear his voice above me, soft and sweet. I jump once more at his fingers at the back of my head, unwrapping the scarf from my eyes. I open my eyes to darkness, I pull back and look at Robert. He smiles, purple and pick sunset illuminating his flawless face. He pulls me into him, caressing my body in his arms.
"You ask why as if you don't feel it. I really care about you, something about you. The way you cry with laughter when you hear bad jokes to the way you take forever to drink and eat. Your smile, as cheesy as it is, it brightens my life. I may sound dumb and I may be wrong but I feel your care, you always say how you enjoy hanging out, that its your escape, your paradise. I know you say you're scared to love because of the risk... But.. But what if you never know true love because you never take that risk. I'm not saying you need to love me back, but I just want you to understand how good affection can feel. It hurts me to see you pass on all people because of the small risk of betrayal, I can't see someone doing that anyways, you're too good to pass on."
With that last sentence he winks slyly and look at me, I can tell he wants me to respond. I was never good at combining feeling and speech and I have not gotten better in my adulthood. I look about the park, I've never been but I quickly spot a bench close to the small man-made lake, I take Robert's hand and lead him over to sit. He sits with his body facing me, his face was now shadowed from the way he sat, my face taking the turn of illumination. I scoot closer to him my eyes watering, I was playing it off as if it were the sun bothering me. I lean over, one hand on his leg the other on his thigh, probing myself up to his level, my forhead pressed to his to keep him from looking at me..
"I feel so dumb you know, I'm so... Stupid. I know I need to take chances, but like you said I'm scared... But I don't want to be. How aren't you?"
He takes my chin in his fingers looking into my eyes with empathy and care.
"I'm always scared, always worried someone will backstap me, but I don't let it take me over because even if they do, ill learn from it. It's all a part of growing. That's partly why I didn't say anything to you about how I feel, I was scared I'd freak you out and you'd run from me, I didn't wanna risk it, you're too good to risk... But I realized, you're also too good NOT to risk."
He strokes my hair and runs his thumb along my jaw, I know he want me to respond, really he needs me to. I quickly lean it, press my lips to his, I just want him to understand my answer through this kiss.
My head turns with his, each rotation resulting in deeper passion. I feel his lips leave mine, slowly as if he were trying to savor every second of the kiss. He continues to hold my waist, tapping my back lightly with his free fingers, the others woven into my sweater. I'm about to lean in as I'm startled my a loud ringtone. Rob takes his right hand from me and digs in his pocket, pulling a striking silver colored phone out.
"Hello? This is he, how can I help you?"
I grow concerned by Rob's panicked appearance, he starts to stand up and takes my arm. I want to ask him wants wrong but he is having too fast of a conversation, I can't even understand what's going on, I want to ask but I don't want to interrupt him.
