My Fair Lady 2

~Chapter 12~

I woke to a light breeze playing over my face. I located the source immediately: an open window, curtains flapping in the wind. I slipped out of bed, tied the string of my pajama pants, threw a zip-up sweatshirt over my tank top and pulled on a pair of slippers.

I went to the window and drew back the curtains with one hand, peering out cautiously. Sitting out in the cool August night, his dark hair illuminated in the moon, bundled up and staring at the stars, was Gordo. I crawled out the window and crept up behind him.

I laid my hand lightly on his shoulder and said softly, "Hey."

He jumped a little, but settled when he recognized me.

I sat next to him, tucking my feet under me. "What are you doing out here?"

He gazed up at the sky, and then back at me. "Thinking."

"Mm," I answered. I leaned against him, resting my head on his shoulder. I put my hand back to steady myself and accidentally placed it on his. He looked at me quickly, a bit surprised. I was planning on saying "sorry" but his eyes held me in place.

He lifted his hand, hesitated and held it in the air, and then took it back, looking away.

I laid my head on his shoulder and he seemed to be fine with this. I closed my eyes. I don't know what this is, but it's me, and it's Gordo, and it's just fine with me.

After our little almost-moment, we gazed at the stars for a while before I said, "Hey, why don't we go to the park?"

Gordo thought about this. Then he shrugged and stood up, pulling me up with him. "Come with me, fair lady."

I giggled and followed him.

A Note: Hey y'all! I promise you the next chapter will be longer! About twice as long. And I also think you're all really gonna like it! Yup, well, that's all!
