Lover in the Window

For Old Time Sake

"The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen."

-Shannon L. Alder

Once Eli gets to his room he sits on the edge of his bed, slips off his shoes and tosses them over toward the door. He shakes his head and thinks about when Raven mentioned the night he left, not noticing the smile that forms across his face. He thinks back to when she was in his room earlier, look at you, player, his head jolts up, and turns toward the cork board. He quickly walks over and begins to pull pictures from the board and he crams them inside the drawer of his desk.

He walks over to his closet - pulls out a blanket and a comforter - walks to the middle of the room and lays the blanket flat on the floor - then proceeds to lay the comforter on top of it - and folds the top part down. He takes the two pillows from his bed and places them above the folded part of the comforter - turns to walk over to his desk and grabs two apple pie scented candles, and places one on each side of the bed in the floor. He steps back and takes a look at it. Just in case.

He took a seat at his desk and pulls up the browser - clicks on the search bar, and begins typing, porn websites. His finger hovers above the enter key for a few seconds before he erases the words and closes his laptop.

He goes to his closet and removes his shirt revealing his chiseled stomach, then removes his jeans. There is a tapping on the window behind his bed, he quickly puts his ball shorts on as he fumbles across the room to the window.

He raises his blinds and there stands Raven with a blanket around her. Just like old times. Eli smiles and raises the window.

"You know you can take the door now; I don't think my parents would mind" He laughs and moves out of the way so Raven can climb through.

"Yeah, but why break tradition? At least the bed is by the window now, makes for an easier landing." she leaps through the window and lands on his bed.

"I was hoping you would remember"

"Of course, how could I forget, those were the best nights of my childhood." Raven turns around on his bed and sits up, her feet dangles over the side of the bed, her eyes focus on the bed Eli had made in the floor.

"Do you like it?" he walks over to his desk and pulls out a box of matches and lights the candles.

"I'm speechless" she jumps up from the bed and lays on the floor on top of the comforter, "You already knew I was coming?"

"I didn't know," He shrugs "but I was hoping."

He walks over and sits next to her on the comforter and looks down at her, her hair is still dampened from her shower - she has no makeup on - and her hair dangles to the floor just enough to see her moon shaped birth mark behind her left ear. She is still so beautiful.

"You know, you made my childhood so much better when we would do this." he takes his hand and pushes it through his hair.

"Do you know how hard it was to climb that lattice panel fence up to your room?" she jokingly smacks him on the arm.

"Yeah, but my dumb ass would have got caught if I tried to get down it and sneak to your room."

"I love the reenactment we have going on. It makes me feel like a kid again, now all we need is some music videos playing on MTV and we'll be set." She flips over onto her stomach "Wanna join me?"

His eye's begin to explore her now grown body, she has on a spaghetti strap tank top, revealing her shoulder dimples, his eyes slowly move on down her petite body, she's small but her hips are a little wider, her shorts are wrinkled and rolled up above the crease of her butt. Damn, to be a small woman, she's definitely blessed.
