I Love You Signed Me

My first story. Tell me what you think.

I Love You Signed Me

I walk out of the gym next to you but I slow my steps ever so slightly so that I walk behind you across the lot so I can watch your graceful movements and the way your shorts cling to your perfectly formed backside. You don’t notices and keep talking like I am next to you. You are always talking, about everything, and nothing. We don’t really know each other, well you don’t know me, but you tell me things that are privet as if it is nothing. You have only been friends with me for a few months and yet I know all your secrets and you know all of mine. Well all but one. I have never been open with anyone like this before and to you it is as if it comes naturally.

I quicken my steps so that we get to your car at the same time and I wait for you to unlock it. I slide into the passenger seat next to you. Even after a few weeks of doing it I still can hardly believe I am in your car, that you are willing to give me a ride, I would never have even imagined being this close to you a few months ago. The workout has made you sweat and I am close enough to smell you. It is intoxicating and I have to concentrate so I don’t breathe in too deeply. You are still talking and I find myself staring at your lips as they move wondering what they taste like.

You drive me home. The first time you told me it was on your way but I know it is not. Your dorm is on the other side of the park to my block and you have to drive passed your flat to drop me off. The fact that you like me enough to do that gives me a little frill. The fact that you lie about it and act like it is nothing gives me a bigger one. I don’t want the drive to end just being sat next to you is heaven. We pull up outside my block and I open the door and go to climb out. I promise to see you next Wednesday at the gym if I don’t see you in class. As I move to get out you reach out and grab my hand. Skin to skin contact still sends little shivers around my body and I work hard to keep a red flush out of my cheeks.

“We can leave it that long” you say in your low, soft voice “I am going out with some of my friends Friday you have to come along”

“I would love to but I got a lot of work to do this weekend” I lie trying to hide my embarrassment at the idea of hanging out with your friends.

“Come on, it will be fun, all work and no play you know” you say.

“Your friends don’t like me much” I say “and I don’t fit in”

“My friends just don’t know you and you fit in fine with me” you say.

“I really have a lot to do…” I start

“Oh, for me please. I will tell you what if you are not having fun after the first half hour we can leave” you say.

“Fine” I say, trying not to smile over the fact that you would pick me over staying with your other friends “will you pick me up or…”

“That is great” you say, your smile lights up my world for a second, your baby blue eyes sparkle “we are meeting at my dorm you know where it is right”

“Yeah” I say I know where it is very well. Like I could have ever said no to you but it was nice to hear you plead with me to come.

I get out and start walking slowly to my door. I can feel your eyes on me and I make sure I slink down the path. I put my hands in the pockets of my shorts to make sure they are tight on my backside. I doubt that you are looking but if you are I want to look good. As I near the door to the block and hear you honk your horn. Turning your arm is stuck out of the window waving as you take off out of the block. I wave back with too much enthusiasm looking for a second like the dork that I am. Your car turns the corner and you speed away, I wait until you are out of site.

I turn fast. It takes to about 4 minutes to make it form my block to your dorm by car. It is a little under a mile across the park. It is tuff going but I can make it, I have done it before. I start running and started thinking about you. The first time I saw you sat in the front row of my chemistry class. How you moved, how you laughed, and how you looked. I couldn’t get you out of my head. At first it was just a physical thing but I could get over you. Following you had just happened, I hadn’t meant to, but soon I found myself eating dinner a few tables down from you and then I found that you used the gym.

I had always kept myself in shape but I had always done it in my own room. I never had the body confidences to do it in public. I couldn’t miss a chance to see you working out. I was just watching you and I never thought I could talk to you. Then I was having trouble setting up one of the machines and you just came over to help. I couldn’t speak but you were so nice and kind and funny and smart how could anyone not like you. We were fast friends, I couldn’t believe that someone so cool could be into the same things as me. You where perfect both inside and out.

The path runs the wrong way across the park so I am running across the grass. There is no one around me and it is dark but I am used to it.
