Young Man Blues
I want to be the girl who you hit a homerun for. I want to be the girl who makes you smile. I just want to be that girl.~
I closed up my last box and took a look around me. Laurie's old room, the one that I had come to think of as my own, was littered with boxes filled with my things. I was moving into my new apartment today and everyone had said goodbye. Well, everyone except for...
"Hey." I spun around, and saw Hyde standing awkwardly in the doorway.
"Hi! Steven, hey!" I coughed, trying not to sound so excited. So what if he's the only one who didn't say goodbye to me? I don't need his blessing! Oh, who am I kidding? Yes, I do. "What are you doing here?"
"I, uh, just wanted to say goodbye. Forman said you were moving out today," he said.
"Well, yeah. I am. But I mean, it's not like you're never gonna see me again. I'm still gonna drive down here to visit." I let out a sigh. "You just won't see me as much."
"Why not?"
I sighed and whispered, "I don't know. Just...life. My job, my new apartment..."
"Looks like you have everything now," Hyde said.
"Except for you," I blurted out and froze. Oh My God. Did I just say that out loud?
"What?"
I blushed and looked away. "Nothing. I'm just...being stupid."
"If it helps...I'm being stupid, too." I turned to look at him.
"Huh?"
"I miss you, too."
I hate to admit it, but those four words brightened up my whole day. I could've lost my job, broken my leg, and had my new apartment burn down and it still would've been the best day of my life. "You do?"
"Yeah," he said and crossed the room and kissed me. And kissed me and kissed me and kissed me. It was when we started removing clothes that I had to ask:
"Are we back together now?"
"Yeah, I think so," Hyde replied with a grin and then he kissed my neck.
"But...what about all that other stuff?"
"I don't care."
