“You live in your own world don’t you? to escape reality?” he asked her as they sat across each other in the empty coffee shop, It wasn’t one of those chain shops, it was more of a family owned business.
She held her chai tea latte quite gracefully but this question seemed to catch her off guard. She took a deep breath, tapped her foot and replied “I have no choice. If I let the majority of my mind slip fully into reality I have a higher risk of thinking that I am insane, if I let my mind seep into what isn’t reality then I loose myself. I live between worlds of the living and the dead and what’s real and what isn’t. It’s a battle everyday for me to not feel like I’m some total freak but I’m just the way I am, even if it is hard to be me”
He didn’t budge an inch, he didn’t look scared, he just stayed. He gazed at her with such admiration she felt herself blush a little. Then the unexpected came out of her mouth.
“I’m not an easy person to understand.. it can be hard for people to love me”
“Why do you say that?” he asked getting deeper into the conversation, he began to play footsie with her under the table, she giggled, it had been quite a long time since someone showed affection towards her like that.
“Well..” she began to explain, “No one’s really been willing to give me what I want” she finished with a sigh and bit her lip.
He looked completely fascinated by the words she said and asked “What do you want?”
He placed his hand on hers as she took a big sip of her coffee, she could always down a lot of coffee, it relaxed her and calmed her body, it always put her right to sleep at night.
She smiled at him, “I want true love, I want a bond with someone that nobody has ever had before. I want to work really hard to get to that place where I fall more and more in love with him each day as I get to know him more and more each day. I want something special that lasts for years and years. I want to be someone’s wife and have someone’s children, I want a house on a lake and to go camping whenever I please..” she paused, took a deep breath and spoke softly “I want to never be alone”
She finished off her coffee. Then looked out the window. Her long wavy brown redish hair outlining her pale face. She never wore makeup, she let the sunlight hit her face.
His mouth dropped open with surprise. He knew she was beautiful but this, this moment, made his heart beat faster then it ever had before in his life. He said quietly “Oh, my god, it’s you…”
She turned to him “Pardon?” she asked. Her entire being seemed to light up with the sun.
He felt like he couldn’t breath, he began to feel like he wanted to give her as much of himself as he could. He wanted to see her always happy, to hear her voice as often as he could, he wanted to give her everything her heart desired and in that moment he knew he was exactly where he wanted to be.
“Oh.. nothin'” he said shyly, but his look was quite obvious, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, she knew exactly what it meant.
“Wanna get outta here?” she asked with a smile.
He nodded.
“Sure your done with your coffee?”
He replied with a nod again.
She grabbed his hand and they walked out of the coffee shop.
“Here” he said “Lets take my car, I wanna show you something”
“We are not having sex in your car!!” she laughed.
“No. I know. I wanna show you my favorite place” he smiled at her sweetly.
“Alright! Lets go!” she remarked happily.
They got into his car. Hand still in hand. The radio playing in the background as they exchanged stories and spoke of interest’s.
She found herself unable to speak of those who had broken her heart. She no longer put herself down, saying she is “fucked up” or “crazy”, with him, things were different. She didn’t have to pretend that she was made of sugar and spice and everything nice, he saw threw every small part of her. He cared about her all the same. Nothing about her could make him leave. He’d be a fool to leave her now, especially since he cared so much about her and how.
Less then an hour later, they came to a dirt road leading to a parking lot and on the other side of that small parking lot was a forest, it looked so green and magical almost. She loved nature. Since she was expected to go on camping trips quite often with her high school, she always felt more at home in the wilderness, the water, the rocks, you name it, she loved it. She had no fear of any animal or insect, if you put her in a cage near a lion the lion would find its own way to love her, her soul, was pure, animals and humans a-like both knew.
She felt her eyes widen at the sight of the forest “It’s so beautiful” she said softly.
He smiled at her. It was the perfect moment to just say “You’re beautiful”
That made her grin, she thanked him with a kiss on the cheek.
He was hoping for more of a kiss on the lips but that was bound to happen at some point.
They both got out of the car, their hands magnetizing together once again. They made their way to the obvious grey stoned path leading down the center of the forest. Walking and exchanging childhood memory’s, dreams and hobby’s.
They came to a bridge. He insisted on giving her a piggy back ride. She was a short girl so it was pretty fun for both of them to have her casually jump onto his back without laughing, that was unsuccessful. They ended up laughing pretty hard.
As they crossed the bridge they came to a small beach with white sand. He put her down, even though he clearly didn’t want to. She took her shoes off and ran into the lake. He sat on a pretty sand colored log and watched her.
By this time the sun was going down. There was a lamp light by a tiny public bathroom nearby so they could find their way back to the car if they needed to. She couldn’t help but sing..
“Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play? Dear Prudence, greet the brand new daaaayyyyyy. The sun is up, the sky is blue..”
She looked at him “It’s beautiful.. and so are you. Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play?” He smiled and she smiled.
“Can you sing?” she asked in a fake British accent, she thought it would sound sexy.
He laughed, “Yes, but I’m not very good”
She grinned then gave him a sexy look. “I don’t care, sing for me”
She stepped out of the lake and came to sit on the log next to him.
He sang “‘Cause I don’t wanna loose ya nowww, I’m lookin’ right at the otha half of me! The vacancy that sat on my heart is a space that now you hollllddd. Show me how to fight for now.. and I tell you baby it was eassayy comin’ back here to you once I figured it out, you were right here all along”
She giggled and then joked “Your right you suck”
He blushed full on red. “Oh shut up” he remarked jokingly. He smirked. “Your ticklish aren’t you?”
“Not really, you’ll have to find out where” she half smiled and gave him a silly face.
He moved in a bit closer to her, his face caressed her bare neck, then he put his face right where he caressed her and breathed in and out. She couldn’t stop laughing.
“How did you know?” she asked
“Oh I have my ways” he said with a smirk
She blushed.
He kissed her neck this time, leading up to her lips. Before he went in for the kiss, he looked at her, straight in the eyes, he put a piece of her hair behind her ear then moved slowly in for a kiss. There lips fit so well together, they both felt a tingle and a jolt run threw their body’s, the connection was complete.
