Taking comfort in your closeness, I basked in the beauty of the stars, the silent black night holding more beauty for me now, than I can remember it ever holding. The silent laughter coming from the bonfire seemed distant, however the crackling and popping from the fire, was soothing to my mind. A gentle breeze blew over us, your cologne smothering me, not enough to make me distance myself, however just enough to make me wish you would scoot that fraction of an inch between us closer, as if I wasn’t wishing it before. You suddenly twisted on the hard bumped surface of the trucks bed, brushing your arm against mine. My heart fluttered, my breath caught in my throat, your head turned towards mine gently whispering sorry into my ear.
“Don’t be” I whispered back, a gentle smile blew across your face. I returned the smile with one of my own, making your eyes glint with something, couldn’t be lust, sure looked like it though. As I twisted a little to my side, I brushed my arm against yours, are faces so close, you caught me, as my breath caught in my throat again. At first it was one finger gently caressing my hand, never looking away you interlocked fingers. You slowly looked back up towards the twinkling stars, giving my hand a gently knowing squeeze. We lay there together for the rest of the night, taking comfort in each other’s presence. When the morning light danced over my eyes, stirring me awake I rolled over to find you gone, and your spot filled by Alex.
