Road To Nowhere

This Strange Thing Called Love

Slowly waking up i stretched my sore limbs groaning , not even having too open my eyes to know that Anna was beside me watching crime shows as she did most mornings we slept over. Searching around i found my phone, opening one eye to glance at the time 10:30am. Shit. I was two and a half hours late for class, shrugging i decided it was to late to go now, i would just have to become a writer some other time. Chuckling to myself as we got up and slowly padded up the stairs in search of food. " Ahh good morning!" sounded an all-too-cheery voice from the couch i squinted up to find Steve, my step father sitting there playing bingo on a tablet. "Morning" we both mumbled in unision finally deciding on toaster strudels we sat at the table quietly, both lost in thought when a knock came at the door startling both of us, and aparently also my ten pound pit bull ( even though she is only a miniature shnauzer she believes she is a very large guard dog and we can't tell her otherwise .) As she started barking madly. I grunted wondering who could possibly be at the door at this hour, opening the door to reveal Lukas, Anna's boyfriend. She jumped from her chair to hug him, her face lighting up. I had to muffle a laugh into the back of my hand at the sight of them, taking in his six foot two, dark haired self in contrast to her five foot two, blonde haired blue eyed self. The height difference while funny was still cute, they're a very good couple and being like my twin it makes me happy to see her happy. Now we're more twins in the sense of personalities, not so much looks, because while we are the same height we look nothing alike, we both have shoulder length hair, while hers is blonde and straight mine is bright blue, green and purple not to mention curly as all hell. We were similar in that we were both 'cursed' with too-large chests that usually pissed us off. Besides that we had nothing in common, my soft peach toned skin was covered in tattoos, and a few piercings. Looks, differences never got in the way of our friendship, we always seemed to get through whatever obsticle got in our way. Smiling at them, nodding toward the door with a sly wink signaling i understood he wanted her to to go with him. Sighing after they left i padded back downstairs stripping off my pants and laying on my bed looking up at the ceiling, sleepily starting to close my eyes i was interupted by a beep from my cellphone, taking a deep breath i opened it smiling as i saw miles' name on the screen with one word 'skype?' A Smile lit up my face eagerly texting back YES!!! Still smiling big i logged into skype and pressed the call button. After ringing twice i was rewarded with the smiling face of miles, his blonde hair softly falling in his face as he blew me a kiss "hi gorgeous" i blushed murmuring a hello trying to tear my eyes away from his body. He was muscular, but not in a over bearing way, he had bulges in all the right places. I sigh softly eyes trailing down to his hips noticing how his shorts hung low on his hip bones, he noticed as i bit my lip and inched them down slightly winking at me as my face turned an unflatering shade of tomato. If wanting someone could kill you i would have imploded right there and then. dragging my eyes up to meet his and smiling again, moss green meeting ocean. Smile growing as our siamese cat, noodles jumped into his lap and glanced toward me, her wide blue eyes making me want to be there all the more, heart swelling while watching my little family and yet at the same time sadness welling up deep inside me, love i had discovered was a complex thing. It makes people go crazy, makes them do odd things and we still strive for it. everytime i glance at him i can picture our future together. The house we'll live in, places that we'll travel. I want it all with him, i want to wakeup after a bad sleep and curl into his sleeping form. Spending our days together, along with our pets. four pugs, and not a pug less. We have a mutual underdstanding that i have a strange love for pugs. Never in my twenty years could i ever have imagined that someone that amazing could possibly consider spending their life with me. Upon realizing i had spaced out, again! I grinned at him quirking an eyebrow at me, i guess i had been muttering to myself. "To each their own right? " he chuckled warmly before sobering up, meeting my eyes as he softly stated i love you so much hearing those words my heart did complete backflips, i had to take a moment to compose myself before i could tell him that i loved him too. quietly pouting as he slipped a shirt on, he grinned "don't worry babe, you'll see it again soon." we both laughed and settled into a comfortable silence gazing into eachothers eyes i smiled again before picking up the book beside me and starting to read as he started playing ps3. We didn't always need to talk, sometimes just spending time with the person you love is enough.
