"The stars are the land-marks of the universe."
- Sir John Frederick William Herschel

his palms were sweaty and his
heart was beating
fast.
he wanted to take his hand out of novas hand and wipe
it against his jeans.
from the corner of his eye
he could see
her taking glances
at him.
he was nervous around
her. he always has been.
but now he felt that he shouldn't be.
"are you cold?" he asked.
she bit her lip with a smile and
shook her head. "sweating actually."
stupid question really. it was hot.
not hot enough
that you need to beg for a
pool, but to the point were
wearing jeans was a stupid
idea.
"right, sorry."
she leant her head against
his shoulder. "you're cute when you're
nervous." he felt
her giggle.
she could
tell. how could she tell he was
nervous?
then she stopped and he stopped.
she placed her hands around
his neck
and all the nerves washed
over him again.
and her lips met his and his arms met her back and then
he finally realised that she did like him. For no other reason than because he was who he was.
