Morning Glory - A Novelette (8 page)

Charlie walks close, so close, and drops his arms forward on either side of me. He’s trapped me betwee
n them, and although I shouldn’t
want this with a friend, I do with him. I want it more than I should. I love being this close to him, but instead of giving in, I hold my own, standing my ground
.
His head moves even closer to mine, but he purposely keeps our bodies apart.

“I bet I can.”

I stare
into his blue eyes. My heart is pounding in my chest as his breath hits my face
.
I often find myself reacting to him in ways that I wouldn’t normally to others. Maybe it’s because I like these games we play, the ones that involve our heads and our hearts.

“I dare you.”

This is the tale of two Charlies learning to trust again while fighting their fates to create their own destiny.
