Trapped in Ophelia's Body

A new feeling...

Song: I get to love you by Ruelle

I love being on the back of his bike. I love the way the motor sits underneath me...vibrating my soul to life. The wind plays with my hair causing a few tangles in the ends but for some reason I don't mind. The cool breeze of the wind settles over my warm skin from the sun high above us and as I close my eyes I take him in smelling the scent of his light scented shampoo and body wash, snuggling into him as my arms wrap around his waist, so close it feels like we are molded together. I never thought that I would want to be this close to someone but there is something about him that makes me want to gravitate to him.

When he pulls up at the Pharmacy I am surprised this is the place he chose of all places. The very first place we went to have milkshakes. He holds my hand so that I can get off the back of his bike and then he gets off. He even helps taking off the helmet and stops long enough to kiss me in the process. We hold each other's hands as we go in and Tabitha is behind the counter grinning ear to ear.

"Well...well...well what do we have here...you two are back and I see still together." She smacks her gum.

"Good afternoon Tabitha."

"You too sweetheart...what can I get for you?"

Kodiak says, "The usual of course."

"You got it...." She turns away from us and starts fixing us a milkshake. Instead of sitting at the counter today we go over to the far corner. We sit side by side, which gives me goose bumps all along my skin. It shouldn't but it does. Every time I am this close to him it just happens.

Tabitha brings over the milkshakes still smacking her gum. She smiles at the both of us. "Hope you enjoy them...by the way you too look so cute together."

We look at each other and smile. "Thanks Tabitha," we say in unison.

He takes a big sip and then holds his head, "Brain freeze!"

I roll my eyes at him and start laughing. We finish up the milkshakes and then head outside to his bike.

"So what do you want to do?" he asks me.

"I don't know...I'm not ready to go home so..."

"You could come over to my house. I mean it's probably crazy and all but we could go stay in my room or go to the castle." Meaning the fort in the middle of the woods. If we went we would have to take Kia with us which would be alright I guess but it would be nice if we could just be alone.

"Sure it sounds great."

So that is what we do...go to his house. His sister of course are fighting over something in the living room and then run to the kitchen to tell on each other for whatever it is their fighting over. Kia is in his room trying to avoid his sister's, when he sees us walk by his room he jumps up and runs towards me to wrap his arms around my waist.

"You want to play with me?"

I look at Kodiak and back to Kia. "Uhm...sure why not."

Kodiak rolls his eyes at me for not being able to say no to his brother. We both go into his room and sit down to play with the dinosaurs. We play for about an hour and I start to yawn. "Kia I'm getting tired do you mind if I go take a short nap?"

"You can lie in my bed and take a nap."

Kodiak laughs, "Little man...you trying to steal my girl."

"No...Ewe..."

Kodiak stands up and reaches for my hand to help me up. I tap Kia on the shoulder. "Thanks for letting me play with you maybe we can again later before I go home alright."
