chapter 15
I left her in her tree… I didn't want to. But I did. After Hunter left I stayed with her for a while. We didn't talk much nor did we do anything else. We just sat there, enjoying each other's presence and the peace. When it got dark I kissed her goodbye and flew away, aimlessly letting the wind carry me. I closed my eyes as I drifted over the town and couldn't resist feeling happy. Yes, finally, I felt happy. Even though I knew there were still a lot of things we had to work on, but for now I was just glad we got to a kind of safe haven. So I let myself smile, grin at the thought of her. Her blushing cheeks and smiling eyes and that smile she tries to suppress, but fails, popped into my mind and didn't go away. I didn't want it to. So when I reached my pond and tree, I fell asleep looking into almost unreal eyes…
And I woke up to the same sight. Not to a dream or mirage, but to her, her real eyes smiling and blinking at me, I woke up to her.
"Good morning, sleepy head." She giggled. And I smiled. I couldn't help it.
"Mornin', sunshine." I said, sitting up and noticed she was flying above me, her hair falling down her shoulders. "When did you get here?"
"A few minutes ago…" She said as she kissed me softly, gently then pulled away and left me wanting more.
"You're beautiful." It was so random, but true. The ever warming sunlight shone in her hair dying it a shade of gold. Her eyes gleamed with joy and childish fun. Her mouth stretched into smiles every few seconds. She was happy. She had fun in her eyes. Fun in her system. And she was happy about that as well. This is what I am meant to make people feel. But she's an exception, because she makes me feel just like that as well.
"I really really like you." She whispered into my ear, leaning in closer and I felt her every breath on my neck.
"I really really like you, too." I answered and wrapped my arms around her, pressed my cheek into her neck and felt her hug me back and clutch my sweatshirt. Then I felt tears on my neck. I pulled away and held her shoulders slightly, lowered my head to catch her gaze.
"You okay?" I asked, my voice shaky with worry. I stroked her tears away
"Yeah, I just-" she let out a short sigh, looked at me and smiled, new tears flowing down her cheeks and glinting in the sunlight. "I'm so lucky to have you."
I went completely silent, speechless. I'm lucky to have you! Not the other way around! I thought. And I kissed her. I kissed her, holding her face and felt her hands lock around my wrists. When I finally pulled away I felt a little hole form in my heart, like a piece was missing and it couldn't be filled unless she kissed me again.
"We can never talk without one of us crying, can we?" She joked.
"That's maybe not such a bad thing." I said. That may be a good thing. That may be who we are…
