Love- As Real As the Moon

23

Nick

I look down to find Hayley looking at me, stunned. Her hands are on my chest as she's pressed between me and the door.We're so close, I can smell her -strawberries and roses. I should move away and apologize but my traitorous body refuses to work. All I can think about is lifting her up and kissing her so hard against this door that she can't think of anything but me for days. It's like she reads my thoughts because her gaze falls to my lips and bites her bottom lip. I slide my hands down slowly to hold her waist. She takes a sharp inhale but doesn't look away and I bite back a smile. I lean down to her ear and whisper,
"Moon?" I move my hands up and down her waist.

"Y-y-yes" she stammers.

"I'll lose control if you keep looking at me like that."

She doesn't answer. I let out a slow cuss and bite her ear which makes her fist my shirt tightly. It only encourages me. I move my lips down her neck back to her ear and rasp, "Do you want me to stop moon?"
She slowly shakes her head.
"I want to hear it."
She closes her eyes "N-"
Someone knocks the door, she jumps in fright and pushes me away. Ouch.

"Hellooooo? Nick? Open the door." Olive shouts from outside.
Great timing, Ol.
Hayley takes a deep breath and opens the door. Olive's eyes widen in confusion.

" I should. Um. I should probably go." Hayley says and runs out of the door.

"What the hell Nick?" Olive asks as she shuts the door.

" What?"

"Why did she look like she saw a ghost? I swear to god, if you did anything stu-"

"Why do you think I did something?" I knit my brow.

She points at me, " Because you literally JUST did something because of which she left for two weeks."

"I didn't do anything. She's fine."

" She doesn't look fine."

"Well why don't you just ask her then?" I point at the door.

She groans. " Ugh. I hate you!"

"You know you don't." I grin.
She mouths whatever at me and stomps out of the cabin shutting the door with more force than necessary.I frustratedly groan because I don't know what just happened. I almost lost control today and I don't know till how long I'll be able to resist myself.
