Snippet of a hopeful short story

He came inside of her... she felt everything. 

He sighed; his hot breath on her neck.

'Mmmm....' a smile creeps onto her lips.

She rubs his back.. smoothing the goosebumps on his skin.

'Stay..'

He holds her by her side, lifting up his head, meeting her intense brown eyes.

'I can't...'

She exhales, taking his hands off her body.

'Don't do this again.. why do you think things will ever change between us?'

She sits up on the bed, her dark brown hair draped to one side.

'Because things have changed.. don't you see?'

He moves in closer.. his hands stroke her pert nipples.

Her whole body tingles... she swipes his hands away.

'Stop. Don't do this again.. stop avoiding this.'

He sighs

'What do you want me to say?'

'I love you, for a start?'

'Don't do this..'

'Do what?'

'You know we have an arrangement..'

'Fuck the arrangement! You love me and I love you, what more do you want?'

He looks at her eyes filling with tears.

'I can't do this right now'

He gets up from the bed, and grabs his clothes, puts his boxers on first.. his jeans, and throws his top over his head.

'I can't do this right now'

You can't do it alone

I have come to realize.. and also seen that you cannot do anything alone.

You can get to a particular point, but once you've reached it, you need help.

It's always good to know people and create relationships because you will never know when you need them in the future.

Just a reminder.. x

Trust

Have you ever thought to yourself, 'Why do these people trust me?'

The people that are around you, or the people that speak to you and tell you their most innermost thoughts and secrets (sometimes, these people aren't even close to you, they are just people that gravitate to you and seem to open up!)

But don't ever sit down and reflect on that? Trust is a very fragile thing-- it can be compared to an egg; once you drop that egg, it's never the same again. This is exactly what happens with trust.

I always fear when people trust me-- not in a bad way, but in a more respective way-- because why would someone want to trust me with their secrets, or anything else for that matter? It's a scary thing to betray someone's trust or to abuse it.

Whenever I see that someone trusts me, I'm always careful with that person, making sure that I do the right thing-- I wouldn't want someone else to do betray or abuse my trust, so why would I dare d
o that to somebody else?

Over the course of my life I've had people tell me their secrets, confide in me about things that they haven't told anyone else-- I've had people giving me responsibilities that I don't even deserve to have.. and I always ask myself why?

I find it to be a privilege-- and at the same time it's something that always puts me in my place and helps me to be a better person.
