(Part 2)

Three days. I've been at this for three days; trying to get you to see me differently.

So far, I've had little progress. For split seconds I'm sure you are almost there. But then you laugh and I'm pushed right back to the start.

I think I've tried it all: the pet names, the pickup lines, the dirty talk, the touching, the teasing, everything.

None of it, has worked. I think if anything I've just been making you laugh.

I'm starting to feel like maybe it's no use. Maybe I should just give up and let you go.

You grin at me as we run in the rain to the car. Your hand is warm in my cold one.

When we get inside our teeth are chattering. Our bodies shaking due to the icy hug of rain soaking into our skin.

"Jesus it's cold!" I'm shivering so violently I think I might never stop.

"Oh stop being a big baby, the heat should kick in soon."

He's oddly silent, which means he's deep in thought. My mind is spinning with so many ideas of what it could be, I don't even notice he's staring at me.

I don't even realize that he's inching towards me, until his breath is hot against my lips. Blinking rapidly, I see how close you are to me.

Your lips are almost touching mine, and my heart is racing so fast I can't breathe.

This is what I've always wanted. What I've dreamed of. I'm finally getting what I asked for. Thank you.

A loud bang is heard right behind the car. We jump and scramble to get away from each other. He's panting like he's awakened from a nightmare.

On second thought, I take my thanks back. I was so close. So close to my dream. And it was rudely snatched out of my reach.

"I should probably get you back home. It's getting quite late." There you go again, pushing me away.

When will you ever see me?

Mission impossible: incomplete.
(Wow, maybe this could be a series???)
