Promises Pt. 1

"Hey, a falling star!" Mykel jumped at my exclamation, making a startled yelp as he jumped backward.

I looked behind me grinning, a slow chuckle escaping me at the look on his face. The startled shock slowly morphed into a slow, sleek smile that spread across his face.

He had been smiling more the past couple weeks, though only lately had his smiles been reaching his eyes. This smile though was the kind of smile that makes me melt. This smile reserved for me and one I had not seen in weeks.

"Look," he said.

I looked back to the sky in time to see dozens more streak across the night, glowing trails lighting up the sky. I watched mesmerized, enraptured by the beauty of it all.

Mykel tightened his hold on me, squeezing lightly, as if reaffirming I was actually there with him. I smiled to myself as he watched me watch the meteor shower.
