“You stole my heart and never gave it back.”

Her eyes widened.

I sighed, walking towards the bed to sit against the pillows by the headboard. I beheld the ceiling for a few seconds before tossing my arm over my eyes to allow her to change. I don’t know how long I sat there until I felt the bed dip next to me.

“That’s not fair,” she announced out of nowhere.

I moved my arm and pulled back my hair, glancing at her sideways. “For who?”

She wore cotton shorts with a top similar to the one she was wearing the first night I saw her. Her blonde hair had gotten long, descending all the way down to her waist. Her bright green eyes still had the power to bring me to my knees all with just a simple look. She wasn’t wearing any makeup but she never needed it, she was always naturally breathtaking. The women I slept with didn’t even come close to her.

She looked older, and I hated the fact that I missed all that time with her. There was something in her eyes that told me that she wanted to say so much, and I would sit there for the rest of my life if that’s what it took for her to open up to me.

The past was still lurking right around the corner like a goddamn shadow I couldn’t get away from. All I wanted were a few moments in time where it didn’t haunt us anymore. Where it wasn’t right there for the taking.

She broke my heart, and yet there I was willingly waiting for her to do it again.

She caressed my cheek with the knuckles of her delicate fingers as if she knew what I felt, what I thought, what I wanted.

I leaned into her hand and it fell onto the back of the headboard. I used it as a pillow as her other hand played with my hair, pulling the longer pieces away from my face.

“I can’t believe you kept your hair like this,” she murmured as if it hurt her to say it.

“You loved it,” I simply stated the truth.

My face turned into the palm of her hand and I softly kissed it, waiting for her to pull away like she always did before she left me on my knees, begging her to stay.

When she didn’t, I slowly placed tender pecks up her arm, brushing my lips back and forth to enjoy the feel of her skin against my mouth.

She was so soft.

So warm.

I made it to her shoulder and moved her hair to the other side of her neck, never stopping my caresses on her skin. I could feel the effect I was having on her and she hadn’t stopped me, yet.

“Dylan,” she lightly stirred, her body tensing.

My heart sped up. “What, suga’?” I was getting closer to her neck.

“You need to stop.”

“No, I don’t.”

Her chest lifted with every movement of my lips getting closer to her mouth.

“We can’t do this.”

“Yes, we can.”

I grabbed the side of her face, beckoning her mouth to mine and she let me. Her eyes were tightly shut, and she smelled like everything I ever wanted.

“You’re so fucking beautiful,” I groaned, desperately craving to take what I needed to be mine.

Her mouth parted as I brought her over to me. The smell and feel of her were making me dizzy, and all I wanted was to kiss her. It was such an innocent gesture, such a simple desire.

I wanted to capture this moment and hold onto it for as long as I could. I wanted to remember her just this way.

For me.
