She shook and shouted when the orgasm came.
I savored her taste in my mouth before climbing her body, and when she looked at me, I licked my lips slowly. Leah blushed. That amused me, and I smiled.
“Does that embarrass you?” I caressed her cheek with my thumb.
“No. Yes. I never…”
“Bullshit.”
Leah looked away, but I grabbed her chin, forcing her to look back at me. I kissed her softly.
“Well, you’re going to be my breakfast every day. And next time I do it, you’ll watch me.”
She nodded, her cheeks glowing.
“Come on, get up and go learn something good and useful before you come home and I teach you all the bad stuff I know.” I pinched her butt while she stood up and slapped me away, laughing, as she headed to the shower.
I suppressed the impulse to follow her, because at that rate, she wouldn’t even make it to her last class. I had an unfamiliar feeling of fullness in my chest, and I got up to make coffee. When she came out, already dressed and with her hair in a ponytail, I passed her a cup of coffee, which she drank in one gulp, and an avocado toast.
“You don’t want me to take you?”
“Nah. I like going on the bike.”
“Wait, your snack.” I passed her an apple. “You’re not forgetting anything?”
“My backpack!” she shouted.
“And a kiss, damn it! Come here.”
She blushed again. I grabbed her by the nape of the neck to give her a long slow kiss before letting her go and walking out onto the porch to tell her goodbye. I watched her ride away on her bike with her ponytail bouncing in the morning sun. I took a deep breath, calm and not calm at the same time, if that was possible. Because I was happy, really fucking happy, but I couldn’t ignore the fact that I was stepping into shifting sands, danger, and even still, I couldn’t stop walking forward…
I lit a cigarette and made another coffee.
After a lazy morning full of tangled thoughts, Leah returned, and when she climbed the stairs of the porch with a smile on her lips, I felt that everything clicked again. The doubts and mistakes disappeared with the first kiss, and I was just there, in the present, with her.
When night fell, after dinner, I lay in the hammock and she got in beside me, curling up against my body while we swung back and forth. We were nothing but the music coming softly from the living room, glimmering stars, and the scent of the sea borne on the breeze.
“You know we need to talk, right?”
“We don’t have to,” I said.
“I want to know what it is that most worries you.” She looked at me, reached up, and smoothed the space between my eyebrows. “See? I don’t like that. You being so tense.”
I pushed a hand inside her dress and squeezed the right side of her ass before kissing her. “I know a way to get rid of the tension.”
“Axel, please. No jokes right now.”
Her face turned sad and I wanted to die. Because I never thought I could get that hooked on another person that fast. Because I wasn’t used to feeling that or to silly gestures melting my heart. Because I thought I didn’t go for romantic bullshit, but just then, I could have written a love song about her. The last girl in the world I thought I’d lose my head over. The one I’d known my whole life. The one who had always been there, invisible before my very eyes.
I rubbed my chin and sighed. “Fine, let’s talk.”
“What are we going to do?”
“No fucking idea.”
“You…you must have thought of something.”
“Wait. I need a cigarette.”
