WAKING
Author: CinnamonJayne
I lie there, seemingly asleep, with my head resting on an outstretched arm.
But I am awake and I feel his eyes on me; kind eyes, taking in the features of my face as though he would never see it again, storing it in a safe place inside his heart.
This simple, sweet act of observation brings a smile to my face and with that he realises I am awake.
He lifts his hand to brush away a tendril of hair that rests on my face. As his fingers graze my skin, I open my eyes and look into his. Although I could stare into those eyes forever, it's the smile that lights up his face that makes my heart melt. It has this mischievous element that just makes me want him even more.
