"everytime i hit the dope i have a new dream. havin' visions of everybody who knew me. see my face on the motherfuckin' big screen. live forever, bitch, i'm smokin' on that HD. knock knock, bitch, i'm kickin' in the front door. live forever, get them motherfuckin' blunts rolled." ____________
his lips moved softly against mine and i felt like my soul left my body. gustav is gentle when he slips his tongue inside of my mouth and it's a complete contrast to what had just happened, but it doesn't help me ignore the throbbing in my foot. i pushed gus off of me, not thinking about what impression it would give him, and i grasped ahold of my sad foot.
"sorry, gus. i cut my foot walking in here."
"oh, shit," he leaned up away from the bed and looked down at my foot. "how long ago was that?" he questioned, inspecting my second wound.
"right before i found you guys. bex came running up here and i thought you would be in here, but apparently not." i hissed as he went through the routine we had just went through only a couple of hours ago. this shit is getting repetitive.
soon enough gus was done cleaning me up and we could resume what we were doing. i was sitting on the side of the bed this time, and although he had enough money to buy a frame, he was sleeping with a box spring and a mattress on the floor—which i liked, and wish my parents would let me do—so i was eye-level with his.. junk.. as he stood tall in front of me.
gus's hands caressed my shoulders with ease, like this was a move he had practiced relentlessly. i sighed contently and reveled in the touch. i stared deep up into his eyes and even though i was just so angry with him, all of the negative feelings flowed out of my body. i should be more angry he's trying to deter us from the conversation further by doing this, but that's okay. for now.
all i know for certain in this world is i need gustav elijah åhr and that's not going to change. i can't say i'm in love with him because that's absolutely insane, but i know i care about him more than i have anything else in my life.
before i met him, all i felt was nothingness, or pain. there wasn't anything in between because i never had a chance to experience anything else but gus has shown me more things in the past few days than i've ever had the privilege to see my whole life. i'm glad it's with him, and i wouldn't want it to be with anyone else.
he's a breath of fresh air.
my life, family, school and other things involved aren't conservative by any means but gus is a splatter of vibrant paint on the black and white canvas that is my life. he's brought hues of color to my existence that i've never even known existed, and no ones knows how much i want to thank him for that.
