It's Monday somewhere. I own nothing.
7.
One afternoon, she tells me about a fair going on downtown.
It's within walking distance from our spot, so we go.
There are rides and games.
Cheap teddy bears and loud music.
We spend our time together there, walking around and riding some rusty rickety old rides. Just generally having a good time.
She laughs at me for not wanting to go on the Zipper, and I make sure to win her the biggest, tackiest stuffed animal I can find.
I hold her and kiss her temple.
She curls into my side and gives me the sweetest smile.
It feels like time just stops when we're together, but at some point reality is going to come crashing in on us and it'll be sooner than later.
I've gotten her to call me "E" because I can't stand this Embry character I've created.
He's not me. This guys she's with is Edward.
And I like her so much, thinking about leaving her and going back home kills me.
So I watch her face light up as some clown does a magic trick, and I revel in her soft touches and sideways glances.
I kiss her softly and squeeze her hands, before saying goodbye and promising to see her tomorrow.
…
I wish all the dates I'd gone on were half as good as spending one hour with him.
…
Wednesay?
You guys rock with the reviews. I swear I'll get to replying, I'm just really swamped with RL and I figure updates are probably more important. Just know that I read and love each and every one!
