" You don't have to wait for me today, " Jonah tells me as I was about to follow him to the bleachers to wait for him.

" Why?" I ask him. I always wait for him to finish practice and he has never tried to stop me from doing so before today unless he has a team meeting, even if has one, he always informs me beforehand. So why now...

" I am thinking about going over to Marcus' house to discuss team stuff, " he says. Marcus is his teammate.

" Oh okay, have fun, " I say and turn around. 

" Will you be fine walking home? " he asks grabbing my hand in his, stopping me.

"It's okay Jonah don't worry about me, " I reassure him.

" Do I need to ask someone to give you a ride?" He asks again watching me intently. My hands still in his.

" Jonah, it's fine, " I tell him firmly.

He pulls his hands away. He ruffles my hair and smiles at me.

I smile back. I am not exaggerating when I say Jonah's smile has the power to lit up a whole room.

" Okay then...be safe Cy, " he says and runs away catching up with his teammates.

I walk home, smiling to myself. My hands still tingling from Jonah's touch.

Every time he holds me, I pray that time would freeze and I could stay in his warm hold forever. But time can't freeze, can it? So it always ends. Those touches, hugs, it ends.

Time really needs to suck it up and slow down when I am with him.
