Awkward Lust
Our hands crawled into each other’s, intertwining smoothly. Well, maybe not so smoothly due to my callused and winter beaten hands. None-the-less that night continued and my face got redder and hotter with every passing minute. Her contagious smile infected me and made me feel foolish as I smile aimlessly and seemingly without intent. The unknown cacophony in the background comes to a halt and we are left in ear piercing silence. With no words to express our emotions, our eyes meet, much like a scene from The Notebook. I forgot about my endless smile once my eyes met hers and I began to swim in her bright blue eyes. Slowly we got closer, my eyes still hopelessly wandering. As we both began to shut our eyes my face must have been redder than ever, but it didn’t matter. My nerves always get the best of me but I was confident that I wouldn’t let it happen now. I was wrong, still as nervous as I have ever been but time went on and anticipation built. My dry, cracked lips were blanketed by her plush warmth. As I backed away my smile mirrored hers and I couldn’t contain my giddiness causing a muffled laugh to be released. By the way she held me hand with a powerful grip in-between both hands, I knew she was the one.
