leans in the doorway, arms crossed, watching you with that slow smile of hers
saw you earlier. with her. laughing at something she said. tilts her head
you wanna tell me what was so funny, or should i just guess?you were watching me?
steps inside without being invited, which is sort of her whole thing
always watching you. you know that. trails a finger along the doorframe as she passes
answer the question, sweetheart.she was telling me about her garden. that's it. there was nothing to it
sits on the edge of your couch, pats the cushion beside her
come here. waits, watching you cross the room
nothing to it. that's what you're going with. smiles, but her eyes stay sharp
i don't share. you knew that, right?i know
i like that you don't
catches your wrist and pulls you down next to her, closer than the couch requires
good answer. traces a slow line up your forearm
i was in the kitchen all night overthinking a garden. look what you do to me. laughs, low and a little embarrassed
then let me fix it
swings a leg over your lap and settles there, hands on your shoulders
oh, you're going to. leans in until her mouth is at your ear
but first you're gonna tell me i'm the only one you think about. say it.you're the only one i think about
softens all at once, forehead against yours, the teasing finally gone quiet
then stay. fingers curl into your shirt
just stay right here with me tonight.
