Friend or Foe

It’s one of those nights you like, not so dark because the moon is so bright and all the stars decided to come out and play or party, you can easily walk outside without feeling like a creep is walking behind you, as we walk home from that event you dragged me to I slightly walk slower than you, which is unlike the case because I’m taller than you which technically suggests that my legs are longer than yours hence longer steps but that’s not really what’s on my mind, I like the view in front of me and as I watch you move gracefully in the night light I take it all in looking at you from up to down over and over again, that body must’ve taken hours to be created and I almost tripped on that stupid rock, “ stupid rock, watch where you’re going”. There is that naughty smile on my face and I’m glad you don’t see it because I have a feeling you can always tell. I notice you put your hands on your neck and I could tell from the sigh that you were exhausted because the day was more yours than mine, you notice I’m not walking next to you then you turn around and just as fast I do the same, I’m looking at the empty street and you’re looking at my back. You smile and I could hear you mumbling “you’re silly”. I should be offended but I’ve kind of gotten used to that phrase and totally not because in my head I have this notion that you’re always saying “I love you”. Definitely silly. I turn around and look at you again with such intensity and then it hits me, damn, you’re perfect and I’m pretty sure my face said it all because your cheeks flashed and you shyly tilted your head down looking at the ground slightly swaying your body side to side. This was kind of a victory for me, after all this time I can’t believe I could still make you blush and I didn’t even have to do something crazy like, I can’t think of anything right now, I’m thinking of you, it was going to be funny though. With my hands in my pocket I walk towards you and stand so close an inch further you would be on the ground. I take your face by the chin and gently pull it up, give you a peck on the cheek and whisper, “keep your head up, vampires might be lurking in the dark”. It wasn’t that funny but you laughed so loud and you hit my arm which I must Say was pretty painful, but I kept thinking, I’m glad you’re this committed to me, laughing at my not so funny jokes and all. I held your hand in mine and we walked slowly home not saying much, I could definitely feel the love tonight and in my head you could clearly hear Beyoncé singing, “ can you feel the love tonight?..” and then I thought of how great you looked in the moonlight, how that sundress brought out your figure, I should have said that instead of the vampire joke, wow, leave it to me to ruin a good moment.
We reached our apartment and I got the keys out of my pocket opened the door and bowed, “my lady”, directing you inside, you cheekily smiled and said “thank you” trying to grasp that ancient English accent. As I tried to wade off the stray cat that was lingering around, you said I shouldn’t feed stray cats and I didn’t want you to know I had fed it. So, as I was trying to cover up this mischief outside, I remembered the one I left Inside because I was the last one to leave the house that morning. I rushed in and found you holding up a shirt that had accidentally fallen on the lamp, we all know I saw it fall there in the morning but all I could do that morning was say “meh!”, which now seemed like the worst idea, I could’ve said more. Your eyebrows were doing that thing they do when you get mad, your lips were following suit and we just stood there looking at each other like we were in a Texas movie and I could see the dried shrub flying around plus I also kept thinking how kissable your lips are right now, I decided
to make a move, I took my shirt off and did a stupid dance and I could see you trying so hard to hold in your laugh and then you just smiled, threw the shirt at me and headed for the bedroom swaying your hips seductively. I must’ve thought that was a secret code for something, I threw the shirt somewhere and it landed on the same lamp, wow....
