I remember looking at your sleeping face and wondering when exactly did I fall? I remember slowly drifting into a dream while I stared at your adam's apple. My thumb tenderly touched it to make sure that I dreamt of you. And dream of you, I did. You made sure of it too, didn't you, slyly slipping your hand under my clothes.
With my ear on your arm, I could hear your pulse increasing faster with every passing second. Or was it my own heart, echoing in my ear? Was I mistaken? Was your affection just a fragment of my dream? Can it all be simple and less painful if I pass you off as a lovely dream too?
I remember drowsiness fell as a spell on me, as the monotone rhythm of your breath fell on my forehead. Hehe. I could already hear you making fun of our height difference and see myself pretending to be annoyed. And yes, I could see that smug satisfaction slip into your smile. I never understood it.
My fingers gently wrapped around your neck, drawing me back to the bed. And contour of your neck naturally guided my thumb towards your collarbone. Your neck was sculpted for my thumb to go on an adventure. My lips could barely resist the temptation either. Soon, my thumb would travel further down and realise that it had awakened more than the pace of your breath on my forehead.
My index finger had reached the end of your shoulders; I softly glided it back. On its way back, my finger decided to take a detour, it climbed up to your ear. It hovered behind your ear and danced softly in circles. Your fingers stirred. Finally.
Your fingers tried to free themselves as they realised the sudden unease of confinement. Panic seemed to engulf them. They tried to move up, only to find that there was no room. Hehe. It was so much fun. They came down and dug into my skin. This seemed to calm them. They settled and seized ownership of my waist.
Huh. The calm was odd. And more importantly, I wasn't done enjoying your panic. I looked up. Your eyes were still closed. Too bad. I thought you woke up. Hmm. I sighed at your chest, wondering if I woke you up now, will you go back to sleep again? Or will you get as angry as you were that day? I never told you this, but my heart races very fast when you get really pissed.
With the sigh, my attention shifted to your chest. My index finger began its ascend from your toned tummy. Like a child, it traced the outline of your abs. My friends thought your body was the reason for my fascination with you. They were not wrong because there was, of course, a delicious sense of power in owning something so yummy. But that was not all. Not at all. And you knew that very well.
The ascend of my finger seemed to be hindered. With the help of my middle finger, my index finger climbed on to your chest. The devil in my head tempted me, and I simply couldn't resist. My fingers walked up to your nipple, and I dug my nail into it. You coughed. No, that was a gasp. And was that a smile you were trying to hide?
My fiery temper took that covert smile as a challenge. I had to show how menacing I could be. So with intense passion, I held your nose. You gulped a big morsel of air, coughed, and started laughing, reciprocating the same intensity of passion.
You wrapped your arm around me, pulling me closer. Your eyes locked into mine, and I melted. I was probably pouting because you were still smiling. The palm of your other hand grabbed my ear, and its fingers burrowed into my hair. Your thumb tilted my chin closer to yours. But I was not done rebelling yet.
I slowly reached up to your lips; your warm breath welcomed mine. A moment had passed, I realised, while I was lavishly indulging in my daydream. And you were getting impatient. So I softly pecked your lips and innocently licked your lower lip, asking for permission.
You grasped me tighter. I was at your mercy. A wave overwhelmed my head, and I closed my eyes. My habit kicked in, and I involuntarily surrendered myself to you. Even with my eyes closed, I could feel your smug smile. Somehow you always knew when I had submitted. My friends always told me they could never tell what I was thinking. You were almost always clueless about everything else, yet this you always seemed to know.
You returned the peck and playfully thrust your tongue between my lips. That smile seemed to grip me, and the devil in my head whispered in my ears. I lost myself to temptation again. Softly sucked your tongue between my lips, inviting it in. Then I bit it.
