The Love Between Two

I met her early this year, and the day we met... She turned my corrupted life to a place of safe clouds of Heaven.

"Avery!!" She squealed my name, my feet carrying me faster to the group as my eyes were stuck on her.

"Mercy!!" I squealed back, a wide smile stretching my skin and expressing my obvious excitement for my dear friend.

Our arms enfold the other in our warm and loving blanket of friendship, my fingers clawing at her shirt as she did the same.

My nose buried deep into her smooth skin, inhaling her sweet scent as her embrace tightened around me. Pulling me closer into her than I already was.

"Two days is way too long.." I whispered into her ear, snuggling my face comfortably into her warm skin, and smiling at it's softness pressing against my own.

"Far too long," She agreed with me, causing my lips to spread into a wider, giddier grin.

We resumed our hug for what felt like seconds until the others in our group began to playfully mock us.

"Aww~" One of our friends spoke, my eyebrows furrow and my eyes instantly unsheathe and glare at the speaker to immediately shut them up.

Mercy pulled away to turn towards the speaker, throwing them the bird while her nose scrunched in playful distaste, making me giggle and release her warmth to pull away and do the same in the same jokingly manner.

Everyone smiled and laughed, my eyes glided back to Mercy, watching her carelessly smile and laugh. I felt the overwhelming sense of her happiness and my facial features softened into a face which only conveyed my love and gratitude for her.

I take her by the hand and walk back to the group, dropping my shoulders as to relax and so a partial weight was relieved from my shoulders.

Her warm hand in mine made me think of a future where we walk around like this.

No matter the place, time or who we were with. As long as I was with her, I was comfortable with doing anything if she was with me.

I love my best friend, and I think she loves me too <3
