Chapter Text
Her breath was hot on his neck, the heat making him sticky. He didn’t care. He reached up, tangling his fingers deep in her hair. Her curls called to him. He couldn’t get enough.
‘Let’s get out of this town.’
He’s asked her a million times. Every time she’d laugh, an adorable laugh that would make him forget what he’s said to her. Every time.
She pressed her lips to his temple, her arms creeping their way over his shoulders and down his chest. He could sit like this forever. Too bad nothing lasts forever.
He reached for her hand, pulling her around from behind him. He took her in. Her dress was simple. Fitted at the top, flowy at the bottom. The sun had just stated to set behind her. Her lips, cherry red and her cheeks tinged pink from her laughter. She was perfect. Her brown hair wild and untamed. Just how it should be.
Pulling her towards him, his hands rested on her hips, her perfectly shaped hips. How could this be his life? How could she be his? He looked up, thanking whoever was listening for giving him this moment. He’d been so bad, he didn’t deserve any good.
She gave him another smile, biting her lower lip, before dropping her lips to his.
Their lips never touched. He sat straight up in bed. The dim moonlight shining through the window. Astoria sound asleep next to him. Wiping his hand across his forehead, he wasn’t surprised to find it covered in sweat. The budge in his pants also providing him little comfort.
He’d dreamt about her. Again.
She’s been right when she’s warned him. He should have known better.
The memories of her were always following him around.
