Marie

It was day. Id just woken up Keisha was still asleep. Sunlight streamed in from the closed curtains. Our room was dark. I stretched next to her and kissed her on the back of her neck. Her skin smelled like cologne from last night.

"mmm morning baby," she said waking up.

"Hi morning," I replied.

"How'd you sleep?"

"Ok and you?"

"Good."

She turned to face me.

"Why just ok?"

"I was plagued by dreams of my mother. And. Well. And you."

"What about me?"

"You. I don't want to scare you."

"Marie you know you can tell me anything."

She was on top of me now.

"Ok um well…..you're going to die."

"When soon?"

I nodded.

"wow."
