Slipping
Song: Lucky (Glee Cast Version)
Nudge
I pushed the sprayer, making whipped cream pour onto my vanilla ice cream, when Nate knocked on the door and opened it. His cat-like eyes studied me.
"Well, someone doesn't know how to whip cream something properly." he said mockingly. I raised an eyebrow. His icy blue eyes laughed at me.
"Let me." he said, taking the thing from me. He studied the tip, and sprayed some at me.
"Dude!" I shrieked, almost giggling.
"There," he determined, "perfect."
I laughed. Lately there'd been something extra with him, something...I don't know. Maybe it was just my imagination. I licked some cream off my finger and popped the too-bright cherry onto the top of the melting pile of dairy treat. I found myself, for some reason, staring into his eyes. They quickly flicked to my face. Nate, so strong and tall. With his every understanding looks, black hair, and artic blue eyes with the slit like a cat's. The person who'd comforted me when I missed the Flock. The person who'd been there for me when my past boyfriend broke my heart. The person...that I loved. Nate wrapped his hand around my back and pressed his lips against mine. Little shocks of comfort sprinted up and down my fingertips and cheeks. As we broke apart, he took the cherry off of my ice cream and slipped it into his mouth. Then he laughed a bit. I placed a hand on my hip.
"What?" I asked accusingly. He turned to face me.
"I just realized...I love my best friend." he stated. I pursed my lips.
"Of course you do." I said hostily. He grinned and pulled me into his arms again.
"You know that's not what I meant, Nudge."
I encircled us with my mocha-coffee colored wings.
"Yeah," I said, kissing him again, "I know."
Who knew it could be so simple to slip into love?
I just found out.
