Drabble #49: Cloud Watching

Patricia

I lied down in Eddie's side, his right arm around my shoulders, and his left hand playing with my fingers. He intertwined his with mine, resting them on my stomach. I close my eyes, breathing in the scent of the meadow. We usually end up spending our free time here. It's relaxing, quiet, just the two of us in this place. Our place.

My hair fell over my face, Eddie playing with my auburn locks. He hummed the tune of Connect, and I closed my eyes, focusing on the noise. I breathed in the scent of his cologne. "Patricia." He mumbled. I looked up at him. He pointed his finger to the sky, confusing me.

"What? It's not going to rain or anything." I state.

"Yeah, I know. But look at the clouds." I turn my gaze to the white puffy objects floating in the sky.

"What about them?"

"Look at them. Can't you see the shapes?" He asks. I squint, trying to make out what he's saying, but I'm clueless. I shrug, as he carefully tilts my head to the side, angling it so I can see what he's talking about. "You see? That one right there- it's a cow. And that one right next to it! A castle!"

"Maybe the cow is guarding the castle." I giggle. He chuckles. "What's that one right there? A duck? Or maybe it's that old lady Vera we had last term." We both burst out laughing, as I point to the deformed cloud, which has now been named 'Vera.'

"Oh! I see one! It's a heart, and it has our initials in it." I look around, not calculating what he's talking about.

"I don't see anything…"

"Hmm, I see it. In my heart."

"Who's being a softie?" I tease.

"You know you love it."

"I know..." I sigh, most likely blushing. He pulls his lips to mine in a sweet kiss, not to long nor short. When we pull away, I answer: "I think I see that cloud now Eddie, I really do."

A/N: Hey! I updated! So, the end of summer is nearing, and we're all going back to school soon if you haven't already. I go back September 3rd. How about you? But what this means for me is that I will be writing less, because I will be busy with homework. This year I'm taking difficult classes and I really want to do well. In case you haven't noticed, I've been on semi-hiatus. Not really updating multi-chaps, occasionally posting one-shots, and updating this. Well I have been working hard, a few hours a day, because I know how it gets with school.

Also, September 2nd is my 1-year anniversary on fanfiction! So I will be posting a new multi-chap on that day, and that is also when I will be coming off hiatus! That is also the day before I go back to school, so… Love you guys! xx
