My hands drape around her neck, caressing the skin and the slope of her neck, my fingers dancing across her flesh and imprinting this moment into her hips pressed against her, pulling myself closer to her by each passing moment. Women are incredible creatures, truly a venus incarnate that are beyond fathoming in their perfection. Memorising the outline of her body, the sound of her voice, the colour of her eyes, all of it. Imagining my hands all over, touching every part of her, claiming her as mine. I never expected to meet someone like her, to step into the pages of a love story so soon. I know once the night is done, I'll return to the sanctity of my room, dancing on clouds and laughing like an idiot. Daydreaming about her for weeks, wondering how I got so lucky. The scent of her perfume, the scent of her, how intense her eyes are, so bright, so wanting, so hungry.I feel dizzy, full of her, my senses are overloaded with her entire being. Breathing her in, knowing that every time I find this scent on a shelf, I'll think of her.
Her eyes fixated on me, watching me, taking me in, observing my every move. Trying to seduce me in her own way, working out the other with the same confused thoughts of anxious queer girls. All for me, wanting, needing, begging, my sweet girl. The softness of her hair tickles my cheek, like feathers on my skin, I want to run my fingers through her hair, brush it from her face, spend the rest of the night staring into her eyes. The lights of the bar above us, twinkling like bright stars in the night sky, this feels like heaven. So bright above me, shining down on us both, like it's just us two, dancing alone. Nobody else in the bar, nobody else on the floor, no other couple matters, just bystanders in our own coming of age story. Meaningless faces in a story that will remind us of that night. Only us here, only us forever, her hands on my hips, holding me close, dancing across my skin. Her fingers tracing up and down, teasing me, her forehead against mine, reminding me I'm here. My anxiety lessens, once a storm now fading into barely clouds, my intrusive thoughts are non existent. The shakiness of my breath, the fear of missing out. Replaced by sunshine, bright and intense, screaming with happiness and filled with butterflies. Reminding me she's mine, all my life, all my years, all my days of waiting. Staring into those orbs, the mirrors of her soul, the reflection of her heart, I've never seen such eyes. Drawing me in, haunting me, catching my breath, I'm speechless in her presence. I've fallen in love, head over heels with no hope in sight, this girl lured me in like a siren to a sailor. She's got me under her spell and she knows it, she can pull my strings and I'll do whatever she wants. And she's all mine, knowing she will never need another, only me. My pride beaming in my chest.
I could stay here forever, my angel in my arms, I never want to leave. I belong here, I belong with her, nothing has ever made as much sense as it has right now. Every heartache, every heartbreak, every wish I've ever made, it all lead to her. The music feels like a melody, soft beats echoing through the bar, the two of us swaying to this beat, dancing to a tune only we know. A memory trapped in time of the happiest moment of our lives, one we will reflect upon forever. This moment, this existence, this space in time, just the two of us here, in the darkness under the lights, nobody else. I never want it to end, I never want to let her go, I want to stay here with her. No other woman will affect me the way she does.
She laughs, girlish giggles that make my heart flutter and yet ache, I could listen to her voice on repeat like a song. I love this girl so much, I've never felt anything like this before. "You never told me you could dance" she smiles. She's enamoured by my every move, like she's watching a film, waiting for every surprise to occur.
There's many things I've never told her, like how nobody ever asked me before. How I was always the one stood in the darkened corner waiting for someone to find me. So I found my courage, took the leap and reached out my hand to her. It turns out I'm a bloody good dancer, I smirk, if I didn't keep some cards to my chest, I'd never get to surprise her like this. Catching her off guard, alluring her, it's like a game of cat and mouse. I shrug with a cheeky smile "I'm full of surprises" I laugh. There's so much I want to tell her, so much I want to share, but I don't know if she's ready for that yet.
She presses herself closer to me, her breath on my cheek, "I like the sound of that" she teases. She's like a cat, watching a bird flutter in front of her, waiting for the moment to pounce. She wants me, I can sense it, the pull. The way her body seeks mine intentionally, the way we fit together, the way her fingers caress my skin. She has me hooked, she has me wrapped around her fingers, what I wouldn't do for this girl. She briefly moves her hands from my from my body, my inner thoughts scared she will slip away from me and disappear into the night. The yearning for her touch, the loneliness of her hands on me. Reaching out to touch my hand affectionately, removing herself from my grasp to twirl, spinning herself, her hair swishing and a blur of movement before me. Such an innocent and sweet gesture, a moment of childish innocence, wanting to enjoy the moment, seeking some courage. It's over before I can blink, watching it all unfold before my eyes, pressing herself against me once more. I can feel her breasts against me, making me blush as I think of how good her body feels against mine. She giggles to herself, amused by her actions, the lights briefly blurring, something like a dream to her. All I can see is her smile, so bright, before returning to my arms, the emptiness replaced.
"I've never met anyone like you before" she smiles, she looks confused, intrigued and smitten all at once. I can't help but wonder what people she's met before allowing me to sweep her off her feet. How hard is it to make a goddess like this happy? All I want to do is make her laugh, keep her happy, make her feel safe.
"Funny way to propose on a first date" I hum, it's the most romantic thing she could say to me. I'm used to hiding in crowds, going unnoticed and wondering how I would ever meet someone. Expecting to spend my life alone wondering of I would ever meet my person. But here she is, dancing with me, pressing herself against me, looking at me like I'm the moon. This girl has no idea the way she's making me feel, how lucky I feel to be here with her. How much I would worship and adore her every waking moment. She laughs again, snorting under her breath and hiding her face in her arm, embarrassed to show her dorkier side around me. She has no idea that it only makes me like her more, seeing her so vulnerable. Fuck I love her laugh, I love all of her, I've heard the term love at first sight used a lot but this is what it feels like. This girl can't slip through my fingers, I refuse to go the rest of my life regretting that she was the one who got away. I refuse to add her to a distant memory of has beens and could have beens, she has to be my girlfriend. She has to be mine, I can't let her go, I can't spend the rest of my life contemplating on what if with her. I want to wake up to her, I want to get coffee with her, I want to share memories with her. This was meant to be
She blushes, ducking her head and avoiding my gaze, bashful. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen, trying to hide how embarrassed she is. Hiding at how she's lowering her guard, how safe she feels with me. Opening up to me, becoming bold, brave, needing. She has no idea of how sexy that is and how it's working it's charms on me. She licks her lips, focusing on her words before forcing them out "I... I think I love you" she mumbles, surprised by her own words. Watching me with fear behind her eyes, anticipating for me to disappear.
I don't know what to say, my throat closes up, I feel my heart flutter like a bird, jumping from my chest and making me scream internally. I wonder if I'm dreaming, I've never had a girl say this to me before, let alone so soon into meeting me. I'm used to chasing them and hoping they will feel the same. But this girl hasn't just swept me off my feet, she's broken the door down and climbed the bloody tower. This is my moment. my inner child is screaming with happiness. Every dream, every hope, every wish to find my princess makes sense. She's here now, right in front of me, the dream every girl wants to hear, the confession that she loves you too. My sapphic love story, fuck this doesn't feel real. Someone punch me. My stomach is in knots and I'm shaking from the anxiety, god remember to breathe.
She reaches out to stroke my face, her fingers tracing my face softly "Hey, I'm right here, no running away" she teases. Pulling me closer to her, my breath hitching at her confidence. She must be sensing my anxiety, trying to comfort me in some way, keep me in the moment with her. She has no idea how much that means, keeping me grounded. Already noticing the little things.
I lick my lips bravely, there's no way I would run out on a girl like this "Never" I whisper. I mean every word.
She laughs, tilting her head back and amused by something I can't describe, her hair tumbling backwards like a waterfall. She has no idea of how beautiful she is, god I can't cope. She leans in, closing the gap, I lick my lips, my eyes still fixated on her lips. I wonder what she tastes like, it's been so long since I've been kissed. It's been so long since I've been touched, I've forgotten what human intimacy feels like. Soon she captures mine in a velvety, addictive sweetness I cannot compare to. This is what I've been waiting for, this is what I've been thinking about, hoping that she would kiss me. There's no way in hell I'd be brave enough to make the first move without making an ass out of myself. Her lips are so soft, like nothing else, sweet, the taste of her lip gloss lingering, Vanilla, cherry? I don't know and I don't care. But the memory of the taste will last, taking me back to this night. I pull myself closer to her, letting my hands roam, leaning into her, deepening the kiss. I feel tingles across my skin, butterflies in my stomach, like the air is crackling with energy. She's mine, I'm hers, we found each other, and I'm so fucking happy.
