Sora & Fumiko

Chapter Forty-Two

"Sora?"

The wind played with my hair and pushed against my dress, I tried to pull my hair back but it escaped my fingers.

Sweat, glistening sweat.

The hairs on the back of my neck were on end and my legs froze up.

Sora was leaning back on the steps of his porch shirtless, the wind fought with his hair and his muscular body shone with sweat.

Sora turned his head to me and his hair fell over his face almost covering his eyes. The front of his hair had grown to almost obscure his vision, I only noticed it a few days before after spending time with him.

I also noticed something different about him, he had a much more serious composition than before.

He still had his childish nature but it wasn't really visible anymore. He had changed.

I wasn't expecting him to be child like forever but I had to wonder if his change was because of me.

I had to wonder if it was because we...

"Fumiko" he sat up straight and his muscles tightened and flexed a bit.

Heat went through my body sharply and between my legs.

"S-Sora, it's hot out isn't it?"

My question came out odd but he didn't seem to mind.

"Yeah it is" His gaze cut across the luscious green fields then sharply back to me.

He beckoned to his side and I went and sat next to him. Strings of tension plucked and picked away at my heart and I breathed out heavily from being so close to him.

I stared at his chest, his rippling muscles drenched with sweat caught my breath in my throat.

I never had a chance to admire them before because the last time I was up close to him, I was too caught up in the moment.

I looked at his chest and strong arms closely and quivered. They were magnificently beautiful.

"Where you coming from?" He asked motioning to the brand new dress I had on.

"I went shopping today with my mom" I smoothed down my dress and stared at his cool expression. "We're going out again later so I only have a little time to spend with you"

"I see"

He gave me a half smile and I stared at my hands. My heart pounded in my ears louder when he leaned in closer to me.

I knew I hadn't been honest with myself and him but I was afraid of getting too close to him again.

I didn't want a repeat of before.

Sora's dark eyes wondered my body but I pretended not to notice.

He watched the way my underwear shifted under the thin fabric of the dress and the way the material held my waist.

"Your water!" I told him quickly drawing his attention away. "Let me get it for you."

"It's in the house."

"Okay."

I didn't even realize my breathing was hiked but I got up quickly and went into the house.

I could feel blood flushing up in my body when I thought about how sexy he looked.

I looked around the room until I found his bottle of water on the table. When I bent over to pick it up the light in the room dimmed.

I gazed to my right slightly and saw Sora standing in the doorway.
