Thirteen Years Ago

The night was eerily quiet. Like it too, was dreading what would come in the morning.

An unfortunate result of spending every second I could with Ivy during the past month meant that my last day in Willowwood was spent packing. Packing everything I should have packed over the summer and refused to because my time was otherwise occupied.

But I couldn’t leave that way. I refused to let the past month together end with a quick, hurried goodbye in front of her family and mine. This was how I found myself, only six hours before I had to leave bright and freaking early, hurrying across the open space between our two houses. I wasn’t worried about anyone being awake. They were all already asleep—her family and my own—so they could see me off at sunrise, but I was still quiet as I approached her window.

She hadn’t yet responded to my texts, but I also hadn’t given her a lot of time before I decided I couldn’t wait for her to tell me if she was or wasn’t awake. Her window was easy enough to open anyway if you knew how to push and slide it at the right angle.

Crouching, I tapped lightly on the glass first before I attempted to break into her room.

Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait long. There was the muffled sound of quiet movement from inside and only a second later, the curtain opened and the blinds drew up.

Her first reaction was a mischievous smile, which I returned with my own. Then she shook her head and pocketed her phone. I helped her pull up the window, and she was out just as quickly.

The first thing I did was the first thing I always did when we were alone—I kissed her breathless. I cupped her face in my hands and leaned down, brushing my lips against hers softly. It deepened quickly; she parted her lips on a quiet moan and I took the opportunity to slip my tongue against hers.

By the time we parted, her eyes were glazed, lids heavy. I brushed my thumb across the pink tinting her cheeks and stared down fondly at the way her lips swelled.

“I was just about to text you back,” she said with a tired smile.

“I couldn’t wait. Let’s go.” I didn’t wait for her response, instead taking her hand and leading her to my truck which was idling at the end of my driveway.

“I thought you’d still be packing,” she stated when we were finally in the truck and safely half a mile down the road.

The windows were down and music played softly in the background. We were heading to our favorite spot—the one place where we both knew we wouldn’t be disturbed.

Tucked under my arm, she scooted closer. It was hot, but she still found her way next to me. The only place I wanted her to be.

I placed a kiss on top of her head and smoothed her red hair back down. “Finished earlier. I didn’t get to see you today, so I couldn’t be packing all night, either.
