"Hello Pretty Lady" He says as I run across the street.
"Hey Big Guy! How are you?" I reply as I wrap my arms around him then try to pull away.
"Hold me just a little big longer"
With his arms wrapped around my shoulders and mine around his waist. I take in a deep breath.
"Whats wrong?"
"I have two midterms next week. I'm so stressed!" He puts his head on my shoulder looking at me. I can feel him breathing in deep and playing with my hair.
His arms tighten around me, pulling me into his chest causing me to exhale and inhale again breathing in his sent.
"You'll do amazing babe, you always do" I tell him and my grip tightens. We are constantly in this position. An intimate moment in a public setting.
"Thanks Kel. You know, I could probably stay like this all day"
I think to myself; the scary thing is, I could too.
"Yeah, except we're on the street corner! People are going to start honking!"
"Fuck 'em."
I laugh and move my head into his neck and take another deep breath. I feel so safe in his arms.
To the unsuspecting passer by, this could look like a good-bye between lovers. To us, it's a hello between friends. I feel so comfortable around him, I can't even explain it.
"I have to get to class. See you tonight?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
Thats the answer I wanted to hear.
