Brutal Love {Wyatt Oleff} {Complete}

City Lights and Quiet Nights

They should feel like home. A place that grounds your life where you go to take the day off.

Wyatt's hands were covering my eyes and we had been walking up stairs for a good ten minutes. I was holding two large smoothies in my hands, one strawberry and one blueberry because I had begged Wyatt to stop at McDonald's on the way. I began to groan in annoyance.

"Where the hell are you bringing me, noodle head," I questioned.

"You'll see in thirty seconds," he replied calmly but I could hear the excitement in his voice. Soon we stopped walking up stairs and walked in a straight line on flat ground. There was a soft breeze that made me shiver very slightly but Wyatt's warm body pressed against my back made me warm. "Now you can look," he whispered and slowly removed his hands from my eyes. I opened my eyes and took in a short snatch of breath, and then soon after my breath was taken away. My eyes scanned the scene in front of me that had taken my breath away. Wyatt and I were on top of the highest building around. The city lights made my heart skip a million beats. I had never been to the city and Wyatt knew how much I wanted to go. There was a railing at the edge of the building which I was now leaning over to get a closer look at the concrete jungle around us. I then looked down at the busy streets. It was three in the morning and yet the streets were still busy and full of life. I gasped loudly as I started to cry. I was so happy and over whelmed with emotion. I hugged Wyatt close and he took his smoothie from my hand.

"Wyatt," I breathed out.

"Yeah?"

"You mean everything to me. I like you. I like you a lot. Thank you for this," I kissed him on the neck once and he chuckled.

"Don't mention it, Sweet Pea," he whispered and buried his head into my hair. Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach and I smiled happily. I took in a deep breath, inhaling the scent of salt water and sand that was wafting off of Wyatt. I then pulled away and we stood together, holding hands. We silently drank our smoothies and watched the beautiful city lights twinkle.

"Can I tell you a secret," I said in a hushed voice.

"Of course."

"You're my home. I want to travel the world with you. The way I feel right now is irreplaceable. Whenever I'm not feeling this way it's all I desire. Traveling makes my heart explode. It calms my soul and makes me melt into so many emotions I cannot explain," the words dropped off my tongue like honey. The bittersweet reality that I had never left the state of Maine was setting in. I could hear the longing that was deeply intwined within my heart coming out of my mouth. I looked over at Wyatt and his hazel eyes were also full of longing. And sadness? Why was he sad? My thoughts were cut off as he spot quietly, almost inaudibly.

"Can I tell you a secret too?" He asked and I nodded. "I love you. I'm so in love with you. Traveling makes me feel nothing. You're the only thing that makes me feel. You and my home where my mom, dad, and I used to be a beautiful, happy family," he sighed and held my hand tightly.

"I love you too, Wyatt," we settled back into our comfortably silence. A bird landed on the railing near us, not even realizing we were there. It hopped peaceful and sang us a beautifully tragic love song that made my heart yearn. The song was slow, eery and yet tranquil. I don't know what it was about this song but it made my heart physically hurt. It made me feel alone. It made me realize my heart desired to be that bird. My heart wanted to sprout wings and fly into the sky, toward the stars and crescent moon. It wanted to be free and able to see whatever it is craving in that moment. I placed my porcelain hand on my chest, my beating heart louder than it had ever been before. Thu-dum, thu-dump, thu-dum, thu-dump. I bit my lip and let the birds song cleanse my body of all the aching. I was in paradise here with Wyatt. Anywhere with Wyatt would be paradise. But I can't stop my heart from craving travels. I can't make my eyes stop being full of dreams. And there I was again, letting the words slip from my lips. "I want to make love again. Right here, right now," Wyatt looked over at me suddenly, the bird now realizing we were here and quickly soaring up in the sky toward the moon. My breath was caught in my chest and my heart beating. I slipped off my cut off jeans, laid down and looked up at the moon as Wyatt and I made love once again.
