| A girl sitting Indian-style was sitting on the couch reading one of her course books intently. She picked up the highlighter, and highlighted a few passages in yellow before setting the highlighter back down beside her. She repeated the procedure a few times before a furry little creature jumped up onto the couch beside her.
The girl then picked up the highlighter and placed it in her book, using it as a bookmark. She closed her book and placed it on the table in front of her. She turned her attention to the cat who had now crawled into her free lap. The kitten plopped down and began to purr. The girl smiled and started to move her hand across the cat's soft black fur. The cat's name was Awesome, Captain Awesome to be exact.
The girl turned her head as she heard footsteps beside her. She smiled as she saw her boyfriend coming to her with a cup of freshly brewed hot chocolate.
"I see you're cuddling with Captain Awesome," the boy said, smirking and bending over the couch, using his elbows to support his weight. His kissed his girlfriend on the cheek before handing her hot chocolate.
She took the warm cup from his hands and softly thanked the boy before taking a cautious sip. "It's good, baby." She said before taking another sip. She balanced the cup in one hand while petting the kitten with the other.
The boy looked at the closed book on the coffee table and then his girlfriend before asking, "You finished studying?"
The girl took another sip of her hot chocolate before answering, "It's Saturday night, I think I deserve a break. Don't you?" She let out a chuckle. "Movie?" she added.
"Yeah, sure," the boy smiled. He moved towards the TV and and quickly pulled a DVD from the collection. He popped the DVD into the player and sat down on the couch beside his girlfriend and cat. "Dare I say I'm a little jealous of all the attention you're giving Awesome!" He laughed.
"He's soft and furry...you're not! Simple as that" the girl joked.
The boy stared and uttered, "Wow..."
"Just kidding! You know I love you!" The girl leaned over and kissed the boy lightly for a few seconds.
The cat meowed and the couple broke their short and sweet kiss and both chuckled.
"I think he's a little jealous," the girl quipped.
The boy laughed. "Yeah, I think he is." | | |
| The girl stood in all her glory before the boy's door. She knocked and waited a few seconds before she heard a click. In no less than a second later, there stood the boy, his light greenish-grey eyes sparkling.
The boy took the girl in before him: she was a self-proclaimed "average girl," nothing out of the ordinary. The boy saw so much more: he noticed the way part of her hair fell over her face, the way her her scent permeated his senses, the way her skin begged to be touched, but he especially noticed the way her being there always made me smile, inside and out.
"Hey," she said softly. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," he said just as soft before taking his arms and wrapping it around the girl.
They stood there, embraced, for a few long seconds before they pulled apart and looked into each others eyes. The girl stood ever so slightly on her toes and gave the boy a light kiss. "So can I come inside?"
The boy chuckled, "Well of course you can!" He took her left hand and pulled her inside his apartment. The lights were dimmed throughout his apartment with the exception of his room. The boy led her into her room, climbed onto his bed, and pulled the girl with him. "How was home?" he asked after he had situated the back of the girl's head against the space between his shoulder and neck.
"Amazing," she replied, "but - as lame as this sounds - I'm glad to be back here... in your arms."
The boy couldn't help but smile. The way the girl in his lap made him smile was pure, simple, and uncomplicated. | | |
| There are a few things that some people just find relaxing: the soft lull of a mellow tune, the comfort of a soft blanket, and the unspoken words of someone there next to you, right when you need it.
A girl was smiling to herself as she pulled her big beige blanket off of her bed and wrapped it carelessly around her two plush pillows. She made sure she had the key to her room in her jacket pocket before picking up the pile of bedding that filled her arms. She somehow managed to close the door behind her with her foot, and go through a number of doors without dropping a single article. She didn't notice the strange looks she received from the guards on duty, because really, how many girls take a huge portion of their bedding with them out of a building and into another at 1AM?
Probably only this girl.
The girl walked down the final hallway still wearing a smile; she couldn't help it. She pushed open a door with her shoulder and said, "I thought this would make the movie a whole lot more amazing."
A boy was sitting on the bed and smiled when he saw the girl. He got up and helped her throw the pile on his bed. She threw a pillow in the corner and untangled the blanket. She crawled onto the bed with it and waited for the boy to grab the remote and start the movie. He finally sat down and she handed him the second pillow which he used to prop himself up against the wall. The girl used the other pillow and stuffed it the corner of the wall and leaned back on it, curling into a ball to watch the movie.
Before the movie was half way over, the girl had moved her head to his shoulder. In turn, the boy lay his head on top of hers. The girl couldn't explain what she felt. In fact, it felt like, for the first time in a long time, nothing was running through her. She was perfectly calm, as if she was forgetting the world.
A few times through the course of the night, the girl and boy high-fived comments through the movie, and with each time, the boy's hand just lingered next to hers. She didn't know what to do, but she didn't move her hand or head because she was perfectly content lying next to the boy.
As time went on the boy and girl started to drift off to sleep. One of the the last thoughts the girl had before she drifted to sleep was a song she had heard on the radio by Snow Patrol: Cars
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

| Every single day that I can breathe, you changed my philosophy. | | |
| Real.
Would you ever do anything that they did?
Why does the suspension occur?
