At That Moment

I walk in to find you with your back to the large window, moments before you had been watching the white wooden door I had just come through. I closed it gently looking around the room I had not seen in years. The bed to my right, with the open messy wardrobe and shelf against the wall just as I remembered them. I looked up and our eyes met looking at each other, unsure.

The corner of his mouth twitched into a smile as he took a step towards me, I did the same meeting halfway we wrapped our arms around one another. I held on tight my cheek resting on his shoulder and his messy dark hair tickling my nose as I took a breath, a musky smoky smell met my nostrils, not the cigarette kind but like a recently burned match.

I felt his arms loosen and I raised my head to see his face, it was only inches from mine as I looked into  his dark eyes feeling his breath soft on my skin. As he came closer his face blurred in my vision I closed my eyes feeling his parted lips stop barely in contact with mine, pausing for a moment as if to gage my reaction, before gently closing the rest of the distance of the kiss. I moved my mouth with his as the freckled lips I'd looked at for many years made contact with mine, my heart beating way above it's usual steady slow pace.
I wasn't sure how long we stood like this, neither of us wanting to break it apart, when there were quick footsteps and a knock on the door. Instinctively our hands connected with the others chest at the same time flinging our selves to opposite ends of the room. I landed bracing my self against the desk to the left and he leaning casually on the wardrobe. I took a deep breath trying to regain composure as he called to the person outside the door.

"come in" the doorknob turned and his brother stuck his head in, looking first from me to him then back to me a puzzled expression on his face. " what?"
" oh um, dinners almost done" his brother stammered.
" fine we will be out in a few minutes." The boy at the door looked around once again before ducking back out and closing the door with a click. We stood frozen in place as the footsteps faded down the hall. As our eyes met once more our faces relaxed into smiles as we laughed. At that moment he had never been more beautiful.
