“Golden Love”

Midnight Youth

I COULD HEAR MICAH’S STEADY breath against my ear as I cracked a sleepy eye open. He skimmed his fingers over my forehead, pushing a strand of my hair out of my eyes.

“It’s late,” he whispered. “I should get home before your parents wake up.”

I suddenly became more aware of how very little clothes I was wearing. The flash of our ardent kissing made me smile. This hadn’t been a wild dream of mine.

“O-oh…” I murmured as I nodded. My hands grappled with the sheets as I tugged them up to my chin. I was only wearing a bra and a pair of sweat shorts. “Okay.”

“You all right?”

“Yeah,” I replied, pushing myself up to sit. “Can you pass me my shirt?”

“Yeah, I can do that.” He leaned over and picked up the sweatshirt I had been wearing before and handed it to me.

“Can you close your eyes?” I asked shyly. Micah snorted and smiled wider.

“Good lord, Charlie. You’re worried about modesty now?”

“Don’t ‘good lord’ me, Micah Jacobs! Close your eyes,” I commanded playfully. Micah squeezed his eyes shut, though I was almost sure he was peeking as I slid my sweatshirt on.

“Safe?”

“Safe.”

“I had a good time tonight.” He slid a hand through his hair, almost as though he were nervous to acknowledge our fooling around. I hope you had a good time. I felt my cheeks heat up.

“Me too.”

“How are you feeling?” I could tell by the subtle flush of color on his cheeks he was feeling just as shy as I was.

“Good,” I said with a smile. “I’m fine.”

“Fine?”

“Shy too,” I admitted.

“Yeah,” he agreed. “Shy is a good word for how I feel too.”

As I bit my bottom lip, I hoped I hadn’t disappointed him. Hours before, when Micah’s searching fingers had lingered above the waistband of my pants, I panicked. I had pushed his hand away and shook my head as I searched for understanding in his eyes.

He had immediately respected my choice to stop. Micah simply pulled me close to him and pressed a small kiss on my temple.

“Hey,” he said presently, as he touched my hand. “Hey…it’s okay.” I lifted my gaze up to his and was met with reassurance, acceptance.

“I didn’t disappoint you, did I?”

Micah’s gaze turned from concern to confusion as he shook his head.

“No, of course not. Is that what you’re worried about?”

“No,” I managed to say.

“Liar.” He smirked. “Come on, I know you better than that.”

“I don’t regret my stopping…I just…” Wasn’t ready. My words faded into silence. I felt Micah’s eyes search my face for answers. I knew he wanted to know what I was thinking. I knew he was grappling for anything.

“Just?” he questioned. “Talk to me.”

“I just didn’t want to disappoint you,” I said, fighting the compelling urge to pull the hood of my sweatshirt over my head. I heard Micah chuckle.

“Don’t think for a second that I didn’t enjoy every moment with you. Everything that happened was enough for me, Charlie. Trust me.” He leaned forward to brush his lips against mine.
