And my heart would soar

Chapter 2

I examine myself in the mirror. My hair falls in little strings of oil and sweat from sleeping on it. At the ends, it curls in it's crazy little ringlets that it's always done. I let my clothes fall and climb into the steaming water. It pokes at my skin and clatters against my back. The warmth envelopes me in an awakness. I scrub my scalp with my mint shampoo. It cools the roots of my hair and the sweet scent takes my breath. I Finish up with my hair and scrub my body. I find that if I hurry when I wash, I can sometimes relax before I have to leave. I climb out into my towel and turn the water off. "Some
Music would be nice" I tell myself and find my phone where I left it on my nightstand. The first song that comes up is "how you get the girl" by Taylor swift. I start dancing around and getting ready much faster, anticipating when josh gets here and when I see Taylor next. I hear a knock at the door as I apply mascara to my bottom lashes. I am ready to leave. Josh is perfectly on time, like always. Josh invites himself in and I run down the hall to see him. "Good morning Jennifer!" He exclaims as I leap into his arms and squeeze him breathless. I run my hands down his strong back, feeling all of his muscles. They feel so familiar, so perfect. I close my eyes. I am practically in heaven.
