He rolled over onto his front, his warm chest cuddling the pillow. Breathing erratic and his chest thudding like a drum, he reached his hand out into the empty space in front of him, closing his eyes.
Her brunette waves between his fingers were tangled and dull green eyes commissioned his heart to relax. He took a few breathers and slowed his pace, then started to breathe normally, his heart settled.

A smile curled up from the corner of her mouth and once again his heart began to race.
He leaned forward to kiss her forehead, the texture slightly off but he couldn't care less for what was really happening.

That look she gives him chills his spine, simmering him to a waveless altitude...
As if becoming an ant, his heart is in her hands, instant jelly.

She ran her fingers across the trim of his haircut, her thumb brushing behind his ear and taking hold of his lobe, playing with it gently.
She kissed his cheek but the touch was completely weightless, pointless, helpless.
He blinked and her face was gone, he was left with just a pillow and its sweet strawberry scent...
