skylines held up high wrapped around me like a piece of sting. clouds and buildings filed in and seemed to grow as I got higher. voices; multiple ones zoomed in at lightning speed, giving my already headache a deeper tension.
continuous colors of grey and blue flashed as my floor got closer. voices got quieter and my mind seemed to race until my body grew into a cold sweat. Hands clammy, eyes darting back and forth; my head was spinning.
ding
I took in a deep breathe with closed eyes. one foot stepped out of the golden doors and opened when the other popped out. in front of me was glass, solid glass showing me the clear view of the Atlantic with lady liberty glaring at me.
Liberty, something I'd lost in midst of all of my personal madness.
each deadly step held my mind in a spacious time warp that made me want to turn around and run. run away and take my life with me.
but where's the fun in that?
my journey was cut short as the gold and black double doors came closer. one hand was in my sweater pocket as the other gripped the knob. eyes closed, I took in a deep breathe; ten in and ten out. upon opening my eyes, i felt my head get tight and then a freeing pressure flow through my spine.
"open the door," i whispered.
slowly, my hand turned left and pushed forward. When my eyes fell on him, my mouth went slightly agape.
he sat sloppily on his couch. legs sprawled in either direction as his body slumped and leaned on the arm. his head turned towards me slightly as i closed the door behind me; no eye contact broken.
he smiled. his bottom lip grazing his teeth as his top lip curled into a thin line. Those cheekbones tightened and rose until he couldn't smile any harder.
only I made him feel that way.
"baby," he called out. He waved me over, a chuckle passing his plump lips saying, "i missed yo fine ass."
God.
my feet felt heavy but in seconds i was straddling him—my arms wrapped around him into the tightest hug I could let my small body give. his stayed on my backside but, honestly, i wanted them there.
I wanted him.
"i missed you too," i kissed his earlobe and dragged my lips down his jaw line until I met his.
my fingertips grazed the back of his neck. a subtle groan slipped out and his breath rubbed against my lips. i dragged my fingers to his cheeks, running them up and down until i brought them in between our lips.
the separation killed me.
"you want me?"
his voice vibrated against my fingers. the slight coolness of his words did the opposite for my body temperature.
"it's been too long," i admitted.
my fingers dragged his bottom lip gently until i slipped it into my mouth.
our mouths played a dangerous game as they explored and teased each other. his lips soon wrapped around mine sloppily as we took in the time to undress each other.
my sweater paired along with his tank while he worked on adding my leggings to the mix.
save me.
