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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEO7crfSab

I looked behind them, at the calm golden sea. I felt so lonely. Even with my friends there, I felt alone.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEfbP9d4ZV

“Action is the enemy of thought,” I’ve read once.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMLB0uWJzI
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIklvOjVm9g
I got up.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZFgw9UB60
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeuhlUz1RI
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejiIEhDe2s
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNHHqiTwF9
“Damn it!” I told to myself and instead of going down the stairs, I went back into the house.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSRw9c1N3x
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aw4n1zinJ
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DYsATwA6d
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70WKYczfDv
“What happened?” my best friend asked me, showing up behind me. I showed her my palm with a pained look.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8e0nR8sqM
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWbYaStbof
“Oh! The first aid kit is in my car. You want me to get it for you?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMrkDURGXW
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6cDaiZUNe
“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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxc2tc2zWV
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0NK8MaI92
The back of the house was almost in the forest, leaving enough clearing for the four cars that got us here.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqF6Sl1kK0
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeZhq0MJip
I looked around, but my friends’ car was nowhere to be seen.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmchjohP9w3
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-.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmKzOfXcwW
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLa8aiHaoF
I was about to take the last step towards the car, but someone else, was standing in my way.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsls2ZJOjf
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkuzfPwE8l
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEYZgPVj8F
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphJA8Uls0Y
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm3IroL3Ij
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VMa74lDng
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyQElWCz1x
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3XhYphbFX
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSsmbz3a0u
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8FUvJHGqc
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbz7vY6fem
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVgEgh0IJl
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3qKxQCrpd
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguuBFQs2DR
I broke the kiss trying to catch my breath. His hands were on my waist, holding my body to him.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOvKafcOht
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEXkYMq0nI
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggAVFwqLDk
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcF7IUPyj8
He opened the door to the backseat, pushing me softly into the car and crawled in on top of me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Baefz0Tp
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB4PJsFFpJ
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuAr2fKCUp
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLZbTfH56K
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6V9n67wog
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzIn0rpTrR
He looked up wondering. I smiled and show him my palm. He shifted himself into a seating position, placing my legs on his lap.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbs24hglLD
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJEK1o97M
“That’s why I came to the car,” I explained. He took my hand in his and gave a gently kiss to my palm.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaFORbdTEk
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK09XNpw8xI
“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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqTiucnkqU
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bktnN9G1X
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ry6NMo7eW
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh258VTjTwF
“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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMN8xm5SYp
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVGFuVB1KS
“Look at me,” he ordered in a low soft voice.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa31VAHSsF
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67KqvtjX6D
As our eyes locked, my heartbeat accelerated. I bit my bottom lip.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IDerefjns
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSL6i7g1i7
“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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoIVTx9XLu
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMmi44mElo
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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyROEeZfSBM
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HK2CKXe4B
“Talk to me,” he whispered. I lower my eyes, but he moved his face so that he could still see me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkRcdjL5ya
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwvQdxT8aH
I leaned back on the car seat, my hands fidgeting on my laps.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn3w10Zb7l
“You’ll leave,” I finally told him, thankful that my voice hadn’t betrayed me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fxMOjqlW1
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ0KW2e6Nm
“What do you mean?” he asked confused, turning his body to the side, so that he was facing me.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b7OQtHksI
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnWuDtHfGt
“As soon as I go along with the feelings, you’re going to leave.”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡostp9xFfL9
“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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoXfG4gzM9
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvNXTrV8jn
He was right.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZLCOSTt40
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPQF4VhN1v
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?466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGmw0cdEFE
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJzBDrsFq
“I’m scared,” I whispered. He put his arms around me, pulling me close to him, his face touching mine.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRTnvBcn1
“Don’t push me away,” he breathed in my ear, making me shiver.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNct27BgOe0
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF68mTFoDS
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.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1EtFllbE
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.
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8COMpBgKxR
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.
