It was evening; my favorite time of the day, when the sun was low enough to paint everything orange and hopeful. I was sitting on the porch stairs, watching my friends playing tennis on the warm sand.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb9rfSsFhX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lApb0JIp7
I looked behind them, at the calm golden sea. I felt so lonely. Even with my friends there, I felt alone.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmqnKYvUI4

“Action is the enemy of thought,” I’ve read once.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8V9zPhqqY
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv0Vfu6Cky
I got up.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP0gKpdzEs
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxilhuagtRu
I was trying to get to my friends, when something I touched, scratched my palm. Drops of blood appeared on my skin. I wiped the blood to see the wound. A long reddish line was drawn across my palm, spitting blood.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp03gBsg02t
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAGQRmqN44
“Damn it!” I told to myself and instead of going down the stairs, I went back into the house.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWOeVAeco5
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGLlfJqlY7
I washed my hands trying to clean the wound, though my mind wasn’t there at all. I wondered where he was. I haven’t seen him around. I shook my head trying to stop my thoughts. I can’t think of him. I shouldn’t have.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWXvhndniA
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJUF05Lzgb
“What happened?” my best friend asked me, showing up behind me. I showed her my palm with a pained look.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU04b4KA9wG
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfc690aEEh
“Oh! The first aid kit is in my car. You want me to get it for you?”438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi6xYbZgtB
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupEPL9K3ci
“Nuh. I’ll get it. I can still walk,” I joked as I threw away the towel I was holding and headed out the back.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLnSlaSEW6
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKmTGGcENX
The back of the house was almost in the forest, leaving enough clearing for the four cars that got us here.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jOdr0vjGR
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdhEu898ZX
I looked around, but my friends’ car was nowhere to be seen.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03KNxXIAd0
From the corner of my eye I saw him walking somewhere – my eye also finally located the red car I was looking for. I began to walking towards it, looking at my palm and my feet, as I went –never at him-.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2bkp2S0es
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5IAt8WUeu
I was about to take the last step towards the car, but someone else, was standing in my way.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjWKRYaVPk
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWYlUxa4kM
I didn’t manage to stop in time and crushed into him. He put his strong arms on my waist, steadying me to my feet.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G1N2NCFiT
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ENe5uhPG
We looked each other for a long moment. His grey eyes staring at me, making me dizzy. As I think of the day I first saw him, I don’t remember what he wore or what I said. I only remember those grey tiger eyes looking at me, half closed but with intense gaze that made me feel he could see right through me.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78FIMevzB5
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhd4oXqeAT
He grinned and opened his mouth to speak but I put my hand over his lips to stop him. I didn’t want him to say anything. I didn’t want him to give me hope. I knew he would leave, taking everything back.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgjHV3z8hW
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1CGkEEjm
He leaned down slowly – his face only an inch from mine. My heart was pounding in my chest. I put my left hand on his face, touching his cheek, making sure he was really here. His eyes looked into mine, as in looking for something. His fingertips traced my face, from my hair to my neck, leaving a burning feeling behind. His touch distracted me from trying to figure out what he was searching.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTRIM21ff1
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJly2KznYt
I opened my mouth slightly to help in the air. I saw him looking at my lips, then once more at my eyes and before I could think, his lips crushed onto mine. His breath, soft and warm, entered my mouth as his burning lips parted and his tongue touched my bottom lip. I froze for a second but as I recovered, I gasped, kissing him back.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuaXUMmQWz
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOQijfA3td
He pulled me into his arms and I clutched onto him, putting my arms around his neck, touching his hair. His kiss was fierce but tender at the same time.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGrO20FRyl
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOIPz4sCTo
I broke the kiss trying to catch my breath. His hands were on my waist, holding my body to him.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvAxQMUtx4
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh99RB1b4v
I buried my face against his neck; Taking as much of his smell into my lungs. What a beautiful smell. I sniffed once more, closing my eyes, as his grip tighten. I could stay lost in this nirvana forever.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbIOnuuGfj
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO41OpBs87
He opened the door to the backseat, pushing me softly into the car and crawled in on top of me.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwTePDbZaF
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbab4nDKQpA
He kissed me, softly at first, then more eager. My left hand brushed his back while I run my right, and hurt, hand though his messy hair. I could feel every inch of his body, covering mine. The strange feeling I felt before, came back; he was going to leave; he was going to leave me.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYKqTWYAl2
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEAbrmpEgZ
I wanted to tell him not to leave but I couldn’t speak as my mind was clouded by the desire to keep him here. I wrapped my legs around him. His lips moved down my neck, while his right hand moved down my thigh – his touch warm. His left hand caught mine and as it was sour from the cut, I stifled a cry into a whimper, but he noticed.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv8ajP13iI
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCtLuf48TZ
He looked up wondering. I smiled and show him my palm. He shifted himself into a seating position, placing my legs on his lap.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzx0PI6l7s
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVVct7wM6J
“That’s why I came to the car,” I explained. He took my hand in his and gave a gently kiss to my palm.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eYYSz3V2O
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlcm1mfDwi
“Where’s the first aid kit?” he asked. His voice, deep and worried, startled me. I looked around for the kit, trying to catch my breath. His one arm was wrapped around my waist and the other rested on my naked legs while I located the kit in the front seat and leaned to catch it.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPNrhrEyzM
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9GbLSTYYI
He cleaned the wound carefully as I glanced at him under my lashes. Put a bandage on my palm, closed the kit and put it back on the front seat. I didn’t look at him.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIa8gltKRi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzIMAvo8p9
“Thank you” I said, my voice low. He put his index finger on my chin forcing me to turn and look at him. I turned my head but my eyes didn’t meet his.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ5l55oKBi
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ObE5WKae
“Look at me,” he ordered in a low soft voice.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18VvoMWT3M
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtBZrRKgap
As our eyes locked, my heartbeat accelerated. I bit my bottom lip.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wMzrRMAPC
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVijPLH2Fe
“What’s wrong?” he asked. I tried to keep my face even. I put my fingertips on his cheek, looking at his face. He was so beautiful. So much that it hurt to look at him. But that pain I could take. I moved closer to kiss him. He didn’t react, trying to understand my reaction.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImGFHWWRcO
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOjzK3d4nv
I kissed him softly, giving him time to kiss me back. He did, but I could tell he was thinking the question he asked me. He pushed me back gently, keeping my face into his hands.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq5HvAoyeX
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FJbngEIul
“Talk to me,” he whispered. I lower my eyes, but he moved his face so that he could still see me.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSrkRHbnot
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPUeSjpBiQ
I leaned back on the car seat, my hands fidgeting on my laps.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOfiTM5v5E
“You’ll leave,” I finally told him, thankful that my voice hadn’t betrayed me.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ePffoAau
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvecPKGDVQ
“What do you mean?” he asked confused, turning his body to the side, so that he was facing me.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUo0Tagjs
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Viyh5MrEU
“As soon as I go along with the feelings, you’re going to leave.”
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4NkNI2cJ2
“No I won’t” he said, his voice sounded promising. That’s what I wanted to avoid. “You’re not even giving me a chance,” he said.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasepqbYDv
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQBtPV6TYg
He was right.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVS1knMdB2
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqzV35ZqrJ
Thousand emotions run through me. What if he left because I didn’t let him in, in the first place? What if I knew he would leave because I never intended to let him stay?438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWzRdC2kqb
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98KzN5HP8d
“I’m scared,” I whispered. He put his arms around me, pulling me close to him, his face touching mine.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JNjvISeEA
“Don’t push me away,” he breathed in my ear, making me shiver.438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrfx1r7ojE
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuCYt59Kvu
I wanted to do that, to open up to him, to make him part of my life, part of myself. I suddenly felt vulnerable and fragile.
“Hold me, please,” I breathed and he pulled me into his arms.
And there, my decision was made.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ys3epVxn
I would let him in. I would let him see me. I would open up to him. I would give him the chance to prove me wrong. I needed that.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeujdaAS2O
I kissed the hollow under his ear.
“Stay,” I said in a low voice, my lips never leaving his skin. He stroked my hair and kissed my cheek and I felt the hope rising in my chest.
