the morning (josh kiszka)

He stared at me from across the club. The flashing lights caught the reflection of the gems on his cheeks, and the sweat on his forehead. I stirred the straw around in my gin and tonic. He smiled lightly at me. Crazy On You by Heart started blasting through the speakers. I saw Sam and Danny getting excited about a good song playing in a club. The lights were strobing as I made my way through the crowd to get to Josh. I slithered through crowds of sweaty people, lacking fresh air. I stared at my feet, trying not to misstep, but ended up doing that anyways. I felt two hands grab my forearm as my drink went flying. I looked up and saw Josh's white t-shirt soaked. I looked back up at his smiling face. "I'm so sorry!" I yelled over the music. "It's okay!" he smiled again, swinging me around, out of the crowd. He pulled my body close to him. He smelled like patchouli, and nag champa.

"I really like you, Nellie!" he yelled by my ear. I smiled to myself, and wrapped one arm around his shoulder. "I like you too!" I yelled back, running my fingers through the back of his curls. His hand pressed on my lower back, bringing my waist onto his.

"I go crazy on you!" Blared through the speakers.

Josh smiled, and wrapped both of his arms around my waist. He pulled me into a hug as the energy around us started to get more and more elevated. I buried my face in his warm neck. I felt his hand on the back of my neck, gripping it to pull my face to his. I stared into his eyes before leaning in to kiss him. His grip loosened, and his hand went to the back of my platinum hair.
