Texas is a peculiarly beautiful place. North of Dallas there are several semi-affluent neighborhoods with several wildernesses trails meandering along the creeks. It's July, and sweltering hot, so the creek beds are merely trickles of hot water flowing in the cracks between the white stones. Little baby frogs jump out of your way as you walk, the water full of tadpoles and little flickering fish. Birds chirp loudly overhead, as if trying to drown out the noise of the city nearby.
Shale? I don't know. It's hot and chalky and cracks if you jump on them. The whole edge of the river is framed with dusty white stone lending a kind of fairytale elegance to my journeys today.
My boyfriend and I had broken up for awhile, but we were walking together along one of these dry creek beds, mostly talking. I looked up into those blues of blue eyes and maybe I still loved him. We sat down beside the languid river and I lay back, letting the sun warm my breasts and bare legs, the shale warmed my ass and back.
The wind tickles, licking the sweat from my skin, ruffling the flimsy fabric of my skirt. He leaned down next to me and kissed me, his hands roving over my stomach and pulling down my flimsy tank top. His hands wander down my belly and push my skirt up around my waist and he's idly stroking my panties.
