As I looked over at her, it struck me how beautiful she was. Her hair was blowing carelessly in the wind, a halo on her head. I had the oddest impulse to reach out and touch. See if it was as soft as it looked. Her lips were curled into a soft smile that radiated warmth. I wondered who or what she was thinking of and my heart skipped a beat imagining her smiling for me. 

It's crazy how i never noticed how blue her eyes are. Or how her laughter sounds like summertime. It's strange how I never really looked at her. And suddenly i couldn't stop staring.

Chasing Sunshine

There was nothing gentle about the way she kissed me. But that was okay. I was angry. She was scared. 


She didn't resist me when my hand tangled in her still wet hair, pulling her head back. She pressed closer to me, opening her mouth, allowing me to do as I pleased. 


And I'd never admit it, but I liked her like this. Zayleigh was all tricks and manipulation. She was cold and harsh. But like this, like this was when she wasn't in control. When she allowed herself to be lost. 


I reached for her waist, lifting her. She didn't hesitate, wrapping her legs around me. Her back hit the wall but she didn't flinched. Her hands tightened in my hair and mine dove under her shirt. 


She pulled away to breath but I pulled her back and she complied. She gasped softly when my hands kneaded her breasts.
