The Crossers

"We're our very own Romeo and Juliet babe it's classic." Salem scoffed. His words hung in the air, dripping with irony and sarcasm. God! Why is he so negative? Then again, I guess I couldn't really blame him. Thanks to my parents the only place we can just be us together is the old Millway mansion, that's 20 miles outside of our town. "Well if its any consolation, I love you were ever I go" I said with big bunny rabbit eyes hoping to get a positive reaction from him. His eyes flickered down to mine and he couldn't help it, a smile appeared from the corners of his mouth. I caught my breath as I realized he was leaning down to kiss me. We've been together a year and I still get butterflies when i'm with him, I hope that never goes away. When he finally pulled his lips from mine he stared at me with such soft eyes and whispered "there's so much danger in me and yet you make me feel so typically human". The words stung my heart but I didn't want him to notice so I lightly giggled, "if only you knew". Then reality set in and reminded me of the huge secret I was keeping from the man I love, little did I know Salem had secrets of his own.
