I nodded and stepped closer.
Every step I took closer, she took it back.
I backed off and stopped getting closer, she on the other hand walked across the room.
I smiled, lighting my cigarette I sat down in her daddy's chair.
I huffed out the cigarette smoke, "Your not like them, are you?"
She looked taken back at my words, she smoothed out her dress and stood up straight. Her long black hair just reaching her lower back, her long legs took bold strides towards me. Confidence lacing her body.
She's one brave, woman.
She looked me dead in the eye, I smiled at her boldness, "And what do you mean by that?" She asked.
I chuckled, "Others walk like their the king, but you. You walk like you don't give a fuck who the king is"
She smiled, "As do you, you don't part take in giving a shit who your talking to, you say what's on your mind and if they don't like it they don't like it. Who cares right?"
I puffed on my cigarette, letting the smoke in and out of my body, leaving a trail of cold air as it goes.

I look down. We're about five stories up. Impossible far from the ground. My stomack flips and I stumble back. "Are you out of you fucking mind? You might as well open the door and let them kill us."
I could hear the distant wailing of sirens and the bookshelf crashing down with a loud thud.
I stood there. Caught between two impossible choices- escaping and leaving behind the man that had protected me thus far or staying behind and fighting beside him.
My brain is telling me I've only known this guy less than a month, but my body- my body betrays me with every ache for his touch, screaming that we really like this guy.
- I also really love being alive!
