City by the Sea 2

Joseph

I smile and chuckle at her laugh, nodding, "How long have you loved me?"

Melissa

I think for a moment and cannot think of when. "I cannot remember not loving you." I say. "I guess it was in high school." I shrug. "What about you?"

Joseph

I flash a smile, "Ninth grade. I think I always did... but I didn't realize it until that year."

Melissa

I laugh. "I remember how we met in middle school and we only sat together because there were no seats left. Then, we were friends the rest of the time."

Joseph

I smile and hold her closer, "Life works in mysterious ways."

Melissa

I smile and kiss him. "That it does." I say.

Joseph

I smile and kiss her back, nodding.

Melissa

I sit up and find my clothes I walk around in my bra and shorts, trying to find my shirt. I walk into the living room and find it and fine it. I slope it over my head and walk back into his room.

Joseph

I get up when she does, confused but finding my clothes anyway. I leave my shirt off and sit back in bed, yawning.

Melissa

"I am going to get something to eat." I say. I see the look on his face. "It is a blood bag at my house. You should get something too." I say

Joseph

I nod slowly and stand, "Okay. Will you come back afterwards?"

Melissa

"If you want me to." I say, smiling.

Joseph

I nod and smile, "I want you to."

Melissa

I smile and kiss him before I jump out the window and run back to my house.

Joseph

She jumps out the window and I lose my smile, looking out it to find her completely fine. Smiling again, I shake my head and wonder what I've gotten myself into.
