Chapter 8
I lay in bed wide awake, a sliver of moonlight spilled into the room, not enough to ignite the fiery hues of the room, but enough to navigate between the rough wooden chairs to the exit beyond. My stomach growled and I squirmed in bed to try to silence the rumbling. I glanced at the clock; a few minutes till midnight. I get up from a comfy spot that I rarely find and I go to the kitchen.
Mushroom soup, bitter greens with tomatoes the size of peas, rare roast beef slices as thin as paper, noodles in a green sauce, cheese that melts on your tongue served with sweet blue grapes. My mouth watered the moment I spotted the strawberries. Fresh crimson berries covered with a mountain of tangy sweet whipped cream. Rich grainy brown sugar covering the sweet airy perfection.
I heard someone coming down the stairs, coming towards the kitchen, it was Rin. RHis body was half shadow, every muscle on his torso flowing from the light into the dark. He was a living work or art, his skin so tempting to touch; every move giving away his strength. I sit there just staring at him, Rin stopping at the entry of the kitchen, looking back at me.
" Hey... I couldn't sleep, what about you...?" He says as he walks over to me.
" Yeah, couldn't sleep," I say eating another perfect strawberry, I moan in delight, smiling. " Do you like strawberries?"
" I do." He says reaching over grabbing two. He takes a bite of one, his eyes widen in joy. "These are delicious!"
" I know, they looked so good." We started talking about fresh food, then started talking about random things. Somehow we ended up talking about movies.
"Movies, my secret pleasure. I only have one rule. Either read the book or see the movie but not both." Rin says.
"I would have to agree with you on that about this one book... That's horrible I totally forgot what it was called! It was my favorite book in middle school." I say as our convocation moved to the living room. Nestled in my usual chair, cozy with a blanket, Rin put in a movie that he wanted to see. The movie started and we watched. Yawning I looked down to whipped my tears, After I could see again a spider appeared on my blanket on my lap. My chest tightened and I pushed the blanket off me, jumping up I quickly jump on the couch clinging on to Rin.
"Kill it!" I say loudly taking a huge gulp.
"What is it?" He says surprised.
S-S-Spider!" I yell pointing at the blanket. He took my arms off him and he got up. Probably spotting the spider he bends down picking it up with his hands. He goes and places it outside, he comes back in looking at me.
"It's okay, its outside." He says as he comes over to me rubbing my back. "My I ask, why do you dislike spiders, is it because it's a bug?"
"No, it's because when I was little everyone use to throw them at, and on me. Especially family..." I say calming down.
"Wow... Well, it's gone okay?" he says as he looks at me with his beautiful eyes. His eyes were so mesmerizing all I could do was nod. He still rubbed my back, until my heart calmed itself.
"Thanks, I'm all right... Sorry, I ruined your movie..."I say as I look towards the screen, his soft fingers touched my jaw, he moved my face towards his. He kissed me and the world fell away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below my ear, his thumb caressing my cheek as our breaths mingled. I ran my fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us and I could feel the beating of his heart against my chest. Unexpectedly, his hand drifted to my hip. It settled there and pulled me closer. I inhaled sharply. I was against his warm chest, chiseled to perfection. Must he be so perfect?
I played my hand against it, intending to push him away, but instead I left it there. His breathing quickened as did mine. He began nuzzling my neck with delicate kisses. So, faint, they were whispers. I urged herself to push away, but couldn't. My limp body began to tremble uncontrollably. His head was angled slightly to the side as his lips came closer and closer to mine. I was surprised to find my own lips parted. Our breaths mingled. My heart fluttered inside my chest. At first, it was a delicate butterfly of a kiss. Then his arms encircled her. Our shared kisses began to slow down, coming to a stop. He backs away slowly smiling.
"I couldn't help myself, you're too cute..." He says as he slides my hair behind my ear. I couldn't help but blush, my hand comes up to my face, hiding my cheeks. I bit my lip look up to him, thinking that couldn't be a better first kiss. " That... was my first kiss," he says blushing looking away.
"Mine too..."
