Movie Night
We sat on opposite sides of the couch, our socks touching each others, enough to know they were there.
The light from the television flickering, soft voices emerging from the speakers.
The characters; out of breath, hiding, revealing the previously hidden affection for each other, the final moments of their lives upon them as the murderer approached behind them, the violins in the background creating tension putting my hair on edge. Held in each others arms their eyes attempt to pierce the darkness, in a futile attempt to ensure their safety from harm.
The violin reaches its climatic point the shadow of the killer crossing the backs of the pair, oblivious to his intentions despite the messages that were yelled at the television by us.
The glint of the blade against the darkness, reflected off the light of a nearby street lamp, reaching the eyes of the now horrified, young girl. She turns at the last moment as the blade is brought down.
The room goes black.
I feel his foot move, his voice emerges from the darkness “What the…” A flash of light and a crack of thunder fills the room with vibrations, interrupting him before he could finish.
I jump with the vibrations, the lower half of my body swivelling off the couch, my feet seeking the floor to find their bearings; only to connect with the coffee table.
This time there were no claps of thunder to cover the words which should never have passed my lips: …“Shoot”.
“Emma!”
“What!?”
“I never thought I’d hear you say that!”
“You know, it’s a good thing my eyes have grown accustomed to the darkness…”
“Why’s that?”
“Because I can do this.” Laughing as I push him off the couch.

… My eyes, blurring, unable to focus, floating over the wreckage, two cars, one behind ours, in the middle of the intersection, Mel crouching over something, her body heaving, sobbing, a body.
Mine…
This feeling was like nothing i had ever felt before, i felt normal, yet with something missing. Obviously my body, yet something more than the physicality behind it.
I look onwards as the ambulances arrive, they approached slowly as if they had all the time in the world, assessing the situation at hand, three of the six approach my body, taking vitals, whilst the remaining two check on Mel and the man in the car beside us who had lost control.
Mel brushing them away, oblivious to the small cuts and gashes along her head and arms where the glass had shattered. Everything still moving slowly, from the rotation of the sirens to the leaves tumbling across the intersection passing in between the concerned and curious onlookers, once impatient upon getting home, the harsh reality of what could have been them, struck their hearts and minds.
Mel cursing the man who caused this accident, her unheard words brushing past his ears no longer absorbing sounds in his unconscious state. The pain on her eyes clearly showing, concern for me, concern for my safety and my future, guilt and shame glimmering briefly across her face only to be hidden by love and worry.
I noticed that the paramedics were quickening the pace of their CPR, odd I thought, CPR shouldn’t change in rate, then I noticed numerous thinks speeding up, the talk of the onlookers increasing in pace, i look to the breeze, it began moving at a normal pace, suddenly things started quickening, faster and faster, everything became a blur, a bright flash of light.
My eyes opened, blinking furiously at the lights of the ambulance that i was now being placed into. Mel right beside me, her eyes bloodshot, tears resting on her cheeks. She gave out a whimper of relief. Her arm stroking mine.
I was alive.

… “I suggest, that we spend the whole day in bed, and do absolutely nothing.”
“Absolutely nothing?” I offered in return.
“Yes, absolutely nothing” Kissing me fully on the lips and rolling me over.
And so we did….
No, i will not reveal what happened next, i’m sorry but my story isn’t always going to be absolutely everything is it now? It’s not like you missed out on much, like she said, absolutely nothing happened…
Where should i begin? Oh yes.
“You know,” she whispered, her hair lying in a pool splayed everywhere, a sense of placement amongst the mess. “I would never have expected this to happen”
I turn to look at her, a smile pulling across the edges of my mouth, “Are you suggesting something?” I jokingly suggest.
“Of course darling,” she winked, as she moved her hand up and down my arm, leaving a trail of shivers. “Now, can i suggest something else?”
I smile, stroking her long hair, letting it fall through my fingertips entranced by their movements as they wrapped themselves against the curves of my fingers. “I’m liking these suggestions, what would it entail?”
“A surprise, but you’ll have to trust me..” She said, “Get dressed, we’re going out..”
She moved under the covers, giving me a kiss as she walked into the next room, watching her leave, her hair falling onto her shoulders, i called out “This wasn’t the surprise i was hoping for, you do realise its late?”
Popping her head around the door, her shoulders and the nape of her neck visible, “Its only 7pm dear, its just darker than usual”
Sighing, i fell back onto bed, wishing to just remain where we had, shutting my eyes, in an attempt to gather what remains of energy i had in order to prepare myself for the nights activities, whatever they may be,
I detested not knowing what was coming, i was curious.
I thought i heard something, but kept my eyes shut anyway.
A kiss on my lips out of nowhere, my eyes bolting open, shocked, my vision surrounded in a circle of her hair, her eyes glimmering in the light reflected off the bedside table.
“No, i know what you’re thinking, that’s not it, now get up and get moving, or we’ll miss out!”
Leaving in the car 10 minutes later, i looked out to the shops as they passed by, the street lights above flickering across my face as we raced by, i wondered, just wondered, where i was going, and where this would take me.

Dreaming
A sunset, a deep red sunset, shining against the clouds. Filling the sky with enormous rouge. We are relaxing, quietly, enjoying the moment on a hill in short deep green grass. The smell of lawn clippings in the air with a mixture of lavender and her soft scent of her favourite perfume. I look at her, analysing every small detail, absorbing it, her little perfections, an amazing person.
She laughs, her amazing laugh, so carefree, her hair flowing in the soft breeze, her eyes lit up with joy and happiness.
This is what it is like, love. This is what is like to know she’s the one.
The sun setting quickly, the hush hush hush of the waves sliding onto the sand below us.
The things i love.
I whisper sweet nothings, she giggles uncontrollably as my lips brush against her ears.
The sun now set, darkness, except for the lighthouse, continually pointing out the light within the darkness.
I can just see the small details of her face, she huddles closer for warmth.
I smile and pull her close.
Leaning in for the point of no return.
And that is what i dreamt of last night my dear.
She laughs, you’re such a romantic.
As she pulls me close.
