He ran his lean fingers through his shoulder length black hair. His fishnet fingerless gloves made me shiver. And the chipped black nail polish made my breathing difficult, he knew it. I think I must have a thing for nose piercings, or maybe just the silver stud on his left side. I really couldn't tell.
I felt the lifted skin above his right eyebrow, a scar from a tree branch he ran head-first into a few years back. The sensation of it against the tip of my finger was incredible, since it was so sensitive. I could still recall that winter day...
We were running along the snow- covered- empty streets, and he slipped. I remember being relieved when he sat up and laughed at his clumsiness, I was so worried he'd hurt himself. I wiped the slight of blood from his forehead with my maths homework, we had no time to stop and buy bandages. He'd been laying with his legs spread and both arm propping himself up, closing his eyes while I examined the cut. I'll never forget how beautiful he was with his eyes closed.
I was drawn back by the feel of his forehead resting on mine. His eyes we're looking directly at me and he was singing, "Fluorescent Adolescent. "
"Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seemed
My love, when you dream them up"
It was the most breathtaking thing Id ever heard.
He stroked my cheek with his clothed middle and first knuckles. I payed close attention tho the movements of his lips.
"Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a Mecca Dauber or a betting pencil?"
At "gentle" he, not so gently, tipped me backwards, onto the bed. Holding my head so I wouldn't hurt myself.
Just when I hit the bed "Freak," by Lana Del Rey started playing, it'd always be a wonder to me how he'd rigged that up,
"We could slow dance to rock music
Kiss while we do it
Talk till we both turn blue
Baby, if you wanna leave
Come to California, be a freak like me, too"
He crawled up the bed until he was hovering over me with his knees on either sides of my hips. He leaned down to my face and skimmed my bottom lip with his thumb.
"Oh, you're cold as ice, baby
But when you're on ice, baby
It's so amazing in every way
Oh, you're cold as ice, baby
I don't wanna fight, baby
It's like I told you
If you stay, I'll stay, yeah"
"If you stay, I'll stay." He said.
That was Niki.
