Ocean of Thoughts

Short Story

I brushed her brown hair behind her ear. Her sleeping figure looked so peaceful. I kissed her forehead and got up. I hated leaving her, but if she knew I was here, she'd kill me. I walked to her open window. The light breeze making me shiver. I looked at her once more, as I slowly climbed out, and shut her window. When I got to the ground. I looked back up, and just stared. I don't know how long I sat there, just staring at her window. I just knew I loved her so much, and wanted to go back up. I didn't though. I went to my mom's. Well where she is, and will remain. Her grave. "I love her so much mom. She's my everything. My world. She's my light in the night. My sun in the day. She's my world, and I just... I love her.... Mom I-I've been sneaking in her house at 1 and 2 am and laying with her. I always kiss her forehead and I leave. I want to stay, but she'd freak out. So I just sit and watch her peaceful figure, and then I make myself leave."

I kissed my mom's headstone and got up. "Thanks for listening mom."

I walked away, back to my house, well my dad's. I walked on in, not expecting my dad to be up at this time. "Back from stalking?" His voice boomed, filling the silent room. I told my dad about me sneaking in. He told me that if I loved her, and wanted to risk being seen, then I could.

"Yeah.." I sighed.

"Going back over later?" He questioned.

"I don't know." I said, as I sat down. I put my head in my hands. "I'll probably stick around today."

"That's new." He said sipping his coffee.

"Yeah, I just am scared, she'll find out."

"That's the excitement." He laughed.

"I guess." I shrugged.

"I'm going to bed." I said getting up.

"It's 8:00 son." He said annoyed.

"I've been up since 2:00 am Dad!" I exclaimed.

"Ok night, I'll make us some food when you get up."

"K." I walked up the stairs to my room.

I jumped face first towards the bed.

"Bzzzzz"

"What?" I furrowed my eyebrows and picked up my phone.

'Hey!!!! Morning Babe!'

Oh it's Hailey.

'Hi, me need sleep.'

'Awe poor baby... I'm coming over.'

'K. Be asleep.'

'I'll just sleep with you then.'

'K'

I dozed off. Only waking when tiny hands moved my arm. Suddenly I was holding a tiny waist. I pulled her in, kissing her nose.

"You're up." She said softly.

"Mmmhmmmm." I moaned.

"Sleep." She said pecking my lips.

I smiled as I drifted back to sleep.

I love her.
