“Those absolutely insane eyes Eyes like I’ve never seen before”

“Gee thanks Insane” I feel uess it’s accurate”

“You called my body insane I mean it in the same way It sort of helps you can’t look at me I can tell you”

The rain is falling heavier, and I set the wipers on inter to focus on the car in front He switches off the radio, and I don’t knohy but it feels like a threat Like the click of a door, locking me in

“The eous eyes I’ve ever seen” He says it like he wants me to understand the importance

I arateful for the dark because I blush “Thanks”

A sigh gusts out of hiainst the sensitive shell of lance at him but he tuts

“But your little red Valentine mouth”

He trails off and h Goose bumps sweep up my arms I bite my lip in case I respond Maybe the more silent I am, the more he’ll let loose

“This one time, you wore a white shirt and I could see your bra It was a colored lace Maybe, like, pink or pale purple I could see the faintest outline of it It was one of the days e had a huge fight, and you ended up leaving early because you were so angry”

“That could have been a few occasions You’ll have to narrow it down further for me” I wish he wouldn’t remind me of moments like that

“I have lain in bed soabout your colored lace bra under the white shirt How e a little in his seat

When he speaks again, his voice coils into my ear

“And the dream you once told uy pressed up against you?”

“Oh, yeah My stupid dream”
