the girl refused to let her mind wander for too long when the subject of her thoughts claimed him. their arrangement didn’t allow room for feelings , and though it was clear to her she held many of them , the hurt of knowing they’ll never be reciprocated the way she wants them to be urged her to push them to the back of her mind. some moments were more difficult than others of course , like now when she was literally wrapped in his embrace and his honeyed words were making her heart flutter without fail. why did he have to go and make her fall when he’s already assured her he won’t be there to catch her ? warm eyes fall to the sudden grasp of his hand on her wrist and she smiles to herself as he pulls her back in , just like he knows he always can. “ i guess i can stay for a little longer , ” she settles. she should know the words that fall from his mouth aren’t really as welcoming as they sound — he may be holding the door open for her now , but as soon as the next person catching his interest comes through , her place will be pulled out from under her like a loose rug. she’s really got no one to blame but herself for still sticking around. so once again , maddie melts into his touch like butter and she sits unmoving as he tells her everything she wants to hear. “ okay , ” she says before slowly leaning forward and diminishing the already little space between them. blushing lips are mere centimeters from his own , but all she offers is a cheeky grin as she spins and allows herself to fall back against his mattress , blonde locks of hers falling around her shoulders and sprawling like a scene out of some dreamy movie. she doesn’t forget to pull him down with her. “ you’ve got me here as long as you want me then. you can still lock me up if you want though , just for fun. ”
