Nineteen- Chris

Aww God, how did she have this effect on me? I really didn’t know. I’d never felt anything like it; I had never wanted anything so bad in all my life. Every time she said my name or even simply looked at me, this feeling of excitement and complete ecstasy would wash over me. When she just brushed against me by accident I had to keep myself from moaning with pleasure, Allyson was like some kind of addiction, some kind of I don’t know, drug.

We spent the night at The Falls. We had a camp set up next to the pool for nights like this.

We were all tired from having so much fun and it was getting pretty dark out. It didn’t matter, we were warm, eating s’mores and sitting in our sleeping bags.

It was kind of like camping.

After a while we all go into our sleeping bags that we placed around the fire to keep us warm (it had gotten chilly out).

I remembered that Ally didn’t have one…we had neglected to buy her one the idiots we were.

I got up and awkwardly presented her mine.

 She smirked at me. “Just like when we met, always the gentleman Chris. You will be sharing it with me, right? I wouldn’t have you break tradition and sleep alone.”

I nodded, beaming back at her stupidly, not knowing what to say. I was always so intoxicated by her very presence.

She smiled and got into the bag and gestured for me to get in. She fell asleep right away and I fell asleep watching her closed eyes flit back and forth under hey eyelids as she lay there, dreaming.

I took her face in my hands and began to kiss her passionately… Until my dream was shattered and I woke up when I began to get that unmistakeably awkward feeling that somebody was laughing at me.

 John tried to stifle his laughter as I opened my eyes and came to the realization that him and Ash were watching my dream as if it was their favourite TV show. I took a pillow and threw it at John.

 “Yeah, okay thanks for the show!” snorted Ash.                     

I scowled at her. “ You know what? If you tell her, you’re all dead.”

I vowed not to fall back asleep that night but I fell asleep as soon I closed my eyes again.

I woke up to the feeling of fingers running through my hair. I opened one eye and there she was, just quietly playing with my hair. She didn’t even notice I had awakened yet she was so concentrated; her eyes trained somewhere far away and her red highlights catching the first glint of the soft morning sun.

Maybe we could stay this way forever. I wouldn’t mind.
