Holi Color
Chloe looked sideways at her. All the other people around vanished in a blurry yellow cloud. All that stood out was Beca. She was so joyful and lively today. Pink and blue streaks on her face with yellow dots here and there. She raised her arms that were also covered in the multi colored powder. Chloe couldn't tore her eyes away from the smaller girl. She realized she had stopped dancing and just watched her best friend. And the realization hit her – she loved her. With all her heart, with all her soul. All that she had and all that she needed was this little brunette girl.
Beca felt her gaze on her. She looked over to her best friend with a wide smile. She felt so alive in this crazy Holi Color scenario. Chloe was also covered in various colors and in the light from the evening sun she looked like a beaming rainbow. She found her eyes and startled a little at what she saw in them. She stopped in her motions, the blasting music just a muffled background noise by now. One moment she saw Chloe's colored hand moving to reach her neck and the next moment she pulled her in for a kiss.
It tasted like the powder they had just thrown in the air what felt like hours ago. Because time seemed to have stopped. And Chloe wanted more. She nibbled at Beca's bottom lip to see if she would reciprocate what was happening here in this very moment. And she should not be disappointed because Beca gave in immediately and opened her mouth to deepen the kiss. Her hands clawing at the hem of Chloe's tank top.
They broke the kiss looking in one another's colorful faces. And now Beca knew what she saw in Chloe's eyes. Love.
