We’re facing each other and he has me trapped with his body, once again.  He leans in, our lips nearly touching.  My breath hitches.  I wonder if my face is as red as I think it is.  My body is so hot.  Partially the summer heat, and partially his close proximity.  I watch as he comes closer.  His lips brush mine.  “You’re going to regret this if we do it right now.”

“No, I won’t.”  I clench the rock that I’m sitting on.  “You make me forget.  I want to forget.  I want to be lost with you.  Please take me to another place, a happy place.”
