A GIRL LIKE YOU

30

I was so close. So close. Just one more stroke.
"Kiara?" Ansh's voice pulled me out of my sexy dream and jolted awake.
Fuck, it feels like he dumped a cold bucket of water on me.
"Shit, you were moaning so much. Were you having a nightmare?" He asked as he hovered above me.
The sunshine made his skin shine, like gold. Okay, so maybe I'm still half asleep. And he is beautiful.
"It was more of a sex dream." I muttered.
Shit. I just admitted it to him. My cheeks reddened as I felt my whole face burn.
Ansh started laughing.
"Oh god." I groaned and pushed him off as I climbed off the bed.
Ansh is shirt less, lying on my bed, laughing. Talk about dreams coming true.
"Did you come?" He asked like its the funniest question in the history of questions.
I stuck my tongue out like a kid and slammed the bathroom's door as he laughed hard.
Well, I didn't come. So I'm going to take care of that.

After the breakfast the air between us was thick with tension. I didn't know what to do with myself. The weather was pretty bad and with overflowing water everywhere on the roads, we were struck in the house. I had no choice but to talk it out. So we did just that. Not.
He sat me down on the couch, as he played guitar. For an hour or two we just stalled. Avoiding the inevitable. Procrastination can be a real bitch.
Then suddenly Ansh stopped playing the guitar. The wind flew in from the window as he stared at me.
"I'm going to sing this next song for you. You said something the first night we were here. And I just want to tell you, how wrong you were."
I just sat there speech less. What is he going to sing?

As soon as he begin singing, the lyrics of the song hit me so hard. All the feelings bubbled up inside of me. So many feelings. The insecurities, the mistakes, the words of my mom and dad, the words of everyone and against all of them the words of Ansh. He looked at me like he meant each word. And I believed him.

"Spent 54 hours
I need more hours with you
You spent the weekend
Getting even, ooh ooh
We spent the late nights
Making things right, between us
But it'll be all good baby
Roll that Backwood baby
And play me close

'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

I spent last night
For a last chance with you
Took a whole day up
Trying to get way up, ooh ooh
We spent the daylight
Trying to make things right between us
And promise it'll be all good baby
Roll that Backwood baby
And play me close

'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

I need a girl like you

Maybe it's 1:45
Maybe I'm barely alive
Maybe you've taken my shit for the last time, yeah
Maybe I know that I'm drunk
Maybe I know you're the one
Maybe I'm thinking it's better if you drive

'Cause girls like you
Run around with guys like me
'Til sundown, when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you
Love fun, yeah me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you"

My heart melted as he put his guitar aside. I love him. Maybe its too soon. But fuck, what I feel for him in this moment is beyond anything I've ever felt before for anyone. He made me feel so special and I wanted to thank him. So I thanked him the only way I knew.
I climbed on his lap, straddling him as I circled my aems around his neck and kissed him. He was shocked but he kissed me back.
Every single doubt flew away from my head as I sat there englufed in the warmth of his body, because in that moment I knew, I just knew that he is worth it all. Everything that is going to come before us after this. He is worth it. And he made me feel my worth. Everbody else be damned.

We made out forever on the couch until he finally broke the kiss.
"Does that mean that we don't have to do that dreaded discussion?"
I nodded my head and grinned at him like an idiot. It may all blow up in my face but I want this. How long has its been since I've wanted anything. How long has its been since I've even done anything to get what I want. I think its been too long.
Too fucking long.
And maybe, when we'll finally have to leave this safe haven and go face the world, it will change. But I'm not going to devoid myself of happiness just because I think the fall off the cliff of joy would hurt like a bitch. I'm not going to stop breathing just because lufe is difficult.
It may sound cheesy, but I'm in love and thats all that matters.

The next thing I know, Ansh lifted me in his arms as I wound my legs around his waist. He lifted me like I'm weightless and carried me to my bedroom. He gently laid me down on the bed and hovered above me. Then he leaned in and give me a sweet nose bop.
"You owe me."
He said and just like that, the clothes started flying in every direction, and I found myself, not afraid, not doubtful, just happy and horny.
