Fairytale
Chapter 2
I was doubled over in laughter, laying down on the couch with my feet on Thomas' lap. He was laughing with me, and together our laughs sounded so ordinary and regular, I've gotten used to laughing endlessly with this boy. He got up and got into the push-up position hovering over me. I laughed some more.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I forgot to do my push-ups today." He answered easily.
"So you're doing them right over me..?" I asked, still finding the matter a tad bit weird.
"What better place?" He asked, laughing as he bent is arms and carried his body downward in a swift, easy motion. When he got to the low point, our noses touched the slightest bit and he'd go up again.
"Try the floor, like everyone else." I laughed.
"Nahh." He said, coming down again, nose to nose with me for the second time. I laughed and watched him do push-up after push-up, staring into his chocolatey brown eyes. He smiled, displaying his perfectly straight white teeth in an adorable smile. I've watched this face grow older since we were both about 4, the first time we played together outside. He was a cute little monster, and still is. But the kind of cute he is now is more attractive and he's just as silly as we've always been.
"Em, have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" He asked me, continuing to do push-ups over me. He was in the same transe I was, a state of amuzement at comparison. I smiled a warm smile.
"No." I told him honestly, looking up into his eyes still, transfixed.
He laughed some. "Well, you're fricken beautiful." He told me. "I mean, everything about you.. Emily, all these years..." He was at a loss for words. He was serious. His facial expression proved he was focusing on what to say. I tried remain serious as he was, but I burst out into a smile and soon I laughed. He was still doing his push-ups without even thinking. He smiled and laughed too, making his arms go weak. He almost fell on top of me, but quickly pushed off of whatever grip he had and landed laying next to me, unfolding the futon couch into a bed, which was sudden and caused us both to gasp and then start laughing.
Eventually, we curlded up together, trying to stay warm, and fell asleep.
It was perfect.
It's times like these with him that I'll miss most.
