Short Stories

SR2

I watch her from the couch, there she is, beautiful. Long lean legs hold up a perfect body and then her face... That face. Her eyes connect with mine for the longest second ever and in that moment I see her life flash through them like a movie. 

The cup in my hand starts to creak with the pressure I'm exerting onto it. Those eyes tell me about ten thousand different things at one time. Like an overload of data just rushing through my head as if I were a computer. 

I can't approach her, not while she's with all her friends who are by far much more interesting than I. The attention I will draw even if I stand next to her could be catastrophic. I mean even though it's a party for fuck sake. The way this shit works is so fucked up. When I would pass her in the hallways and my hand touches hers by accident, or we watch each other and there's that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. 

I often wondered if she felt it too, I wonder if she knows too. 

I wasn't even supposed to be at this party tonight but I decided I might as well for my last year of high school. Plus I just wanted to see her, just for one night. 

Watching her one more time desperately I make my way to the door and step outside. Pulling out the pre-rolled blunt I had stuffed in my pocket I light it up and inhale. Everything slows down, slow motion...

I feel someone stand next to me. " Can I have a pull?" 

My eyes flit over to her  with shock, I almost drop the blunt. With shaky hands I pass it to her and she slowly takes a pull, the way her mouth wraps around the part where my mouth once was draws me in, I lick my lips and shift from side to side. 

"Nice night huh?" She chuckles but shit I don't know, I'm high. 

"The look on your face is priceless." Her body shifts, that face comes so much more closer to mine, her lips so close I feel her breath on my nose. Her fingers slightly touch mine and I feel like I want to die. 

I take a step back and she takes the opportunity to invade my space. Grabbing the back of my head, hands tangling in the hairs of my head, she kisses me with a ferocity I've never known before. It feels like we've been there for hours, drinking in each other's presence. The loud, pounding music from the party inside just manages to fade away in the background. 

My heart speeding, faster and faster, beating against my chest becomes our new music. Pulling away from me she looks at me deeply through hooded eyes. Her hands travelling up and down my body as if she herself was trying to confirm that this indeed was real. 

"I've wanted to do that for a long time. A very long time." She says breathlessly still boring holes into my soul with those eyes. 

"Likewise." I manage to croak out before our lips immerse themselves in each other. 

Complete euphoria.
