Looking Back

Chapter 8: Underneath Your Clothes

You're a song

Written by the hands of God

Don't get me wrong

But this might sound t you a bit odd

But you own the place where my thoughts go hiding

And right under you clothes is where I find them

***

"Neo, what's wrong?" He opened his eyes and stared at me. His eyes. they showed so much fear, and I knew it was something about me. He'd been overprotective for a while already, and he always had these. visions. And I really wanted to help him, "It's alright, you can tell me."

***

Underneath your clothes

There's an endless story

There's a man I chose

There's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl

***

He took a moment to catch his breath, or maybe just to think. Then he looked at me, his eyes full of sincerity. but with a certain loss of hope, "I can't lose you." I stare at him, touching his face. "You're not going to lose me." I said softly, staring at him with eyes full of yearning, trust. love.

***

Because of you I forgot the smart ways to lie

Because of you I'm running out of reasons to cry

When the friends are gone

When the party's over

We will still belong to each other

***

I took his hand in mine and we entwined fingers, "You feel this?" I asked him, trusting him, needing him, loving him. "I'm never letting go." My voice was firm, I was sure of everything I said. We met in a brief kiss as he put his arms around me, and my legs, already wrapped around his waste, helped me in pulling closer, and we met in a tight hug.

Underneath your clothes

There's an endless story

We made love slowly after that, and right after that, Neo collapsed on top of me, breathing hard, still holding me close, and our hands still clasped together. "I love you." He whispered softly. "I need you." I whispered gently, kissing him gently on the lips.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you." He said out of the blue, still embracing me with his strong arms, my own was folded on his chest. "I don't know how this all happened." I whispered back with my eyes closed, blushing lightly, "But I love you all the same." He laughed softly, kissing me on the head, smelling the mixture of sweat, saliva, and sex. "You know what?" he suddenly said again, "Ask me what you want to change about me, anything at all."

***

I love you more than all that's on the planet

Moving walking talking breathing

You know it's true

But baby it's so funny

You almost don't believe it

As every voice is hanging from the silence

Lights are hanging from the ceiling

And like a lady tied to her manners

I'm tied up to this feeling

***

I just thought about what he said for awhile and all I could do was laugh silently to myself. There really wasn't anything she wanted to change about him. Then I thought about all those arguments we had and I realized there wasn't much concerning that, either. "I wouldn't want you to change at all, Neo." I said smiling at him "All I want you to do is be happy, because seeing you like that makes my day."

Underneath your clothes

He smiled and kissed me again, and I knew somehow, as he closed his eyes, he would have the same dreams again. Those dreams that always haunt him, visions of something that must be terrible, but I knew somehow that tonight, he would have more faith in what we have together. And whatever he was having nightmares about, it wouldn't be permanent.

Underneath your clothes

There's a man I chose
