Two Days

The way the moonlight streams between buildings and illuminates a small section of the still pool nearby is idyllic. Steam from the hot tub soaks into my hair, saturating me in the strong scent of chlorine and mascara runs from the moist air. The lamppost only lights up one side of your face and the smile that flits at the corners of your mouth. That smile is perfect. I live for that smile. Goosebumps prickle my shoulders and I completely submerge myself under the water. Heat burns my face more than I thought it would; I can feel my cheeks turning bright red. Waves slosh around the edges when I break the surface again. You catch me watching the way the water laps at your muscles, the water making your smooth skin look flawless.
