through the window
she drove a red camaro older from the 80’s i think we worked together pretty soon she was in my bed about a month after we met the result of an after party following the closing shift at the restaurant
she was sweet shy the kind of adorable you read about
one morning (about our third morning together) she said, i have to ask you a question
my eyes opened in response
she sat up the sheets exposing naked flesh bathing her in sunlight that slipped in through the window
you don’t strike me as the serious type she said her hand brushing hair from her face is this going to go anywhere?
i sat up to face her my lips curled inward as i searched for the words
until i found them
i don’t think so miss if that’s what you’re looking for i understand but i’m not interested in anything serious
her gaze fell to her hand and mine followed as she began to run her fingers down her chest over her thigh to my wrist up my arm over my shoulder until we locked eyes once again
good i was hoping you would say that she whispered
as we began to take each other somewhere else again
