Fairytale
Chapter 2
I was doubled over in laughter, laying down on
the couch with my feet on Thomas' lap. He was laughing with
me, and together our laughs sounded so ordinary and regular,
I've gotten used to laughing endlessly with this boy. He got
up and got into the push-up position hovering over me. I laughed
some more.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I forgot to do my push-ups today." He answered
easily.
"So you're doing them right over me..?" I asked,
still finding the matter a tad bit weird.
"What better place?" He asked, laughing as he bent is
arms and carried his body downward in a swift, easy motion. When
he got to the low point, our noses touched the slightest bit and
he'd go up again.
"Try the floor, like everyone else." I laughed.
"Nahh." He said, coming down again, nose to nose with
me for the second time. I laughed and watched him do push-up
after push-up, staring into his chocolatey brown eyes. He smiled,
displaying his perfectly straight white teeth in an adorable
smile. I've watched this face grow older since we were both
about 4, the first time we played together outside. He was a cute
little monster, and still is. But the kind of cute he is now is
more attractive and he's just as silly as we've always
been.
"Em, have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" He
asked me, continuing to do push-ups over me. He was in the same
transe I was, a state of amuzement at comparison. I smiled a warm
smile.
"No." I told him honestly, looking up into his eyes
still, transfixed.
He laughed some. "Well, you're fricken beautiful."
He told me. "I mean, everything about you.. Emily, all these
years..." He was at a loss for words. He was serious. His
facial expression proved he was focusing on what to say. I tried
remain serious as he was, but I burst out into a smile and soon I
laughed. He was still doing his push-ups without even thinking.
He smiled and laughed too, making his arms go weak. He almost
fell on top of me, but quickly pushed off of whatever grip he had
and landed laying next to me, unfolding the futon couch into a
bed, which was sudden and caused us both to gasp and then start
laughing.
Eventually, we curlded up together, trying to stay warm, and fell
asleep.
It was perfect.
It's times like these with him that I'll miss
most.
