Through the semi-sheer curtains, I see her get up from her bed and cross to the window; outside of which I am precariously perched on the branch of a tree. Huge glistening tears fill her joyous blue eyes when she sees me smiling back at her, she throws open the window with a stunned smile spread across her elegant lips.
"What are you doing? You're going to break your neck!"
"Grab a jacket, I'm sneaking you out for the night."
"Okay! But get in here before you die!" She grabs me by the arm and pulls me through the open window. As she turns to go to her closet, I grab her by the hand and pull her into me; breathing in the sweet scent of her damp golden hair. She looks into my eyes, her face just centimetres from mine and I can feel her warm breath on my lips:
"I missed you so much." she whispers; her face is so close that I can feel the words form on her lips as they brush against my own. Finally, she gives into temptation and kisses me. It is warm, soft and the electricity swirls from my lips and throughout the rest of my body. Once again, she smiles and looks into my eyes before turning back to her closet. After slipping into her favourite pair of jeans and brown leather jacket she crosses and locks her bedroom door. I look at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Morgan, the last thing I need is for my parents to come in and see that I'm not here. It would be pretty hard to explain."
"Smart and beautiful. Guess this makes me the luckiest girl in the world." She blushes slightly and gives me another hug before I lead her out the window, down the tree and out into the safety of the cool summer air. We walk the few blocks to my car with our fingers entwined and I notice how breathtakingly beautiful she is in the orange glow of the street lamps.
Hours later as we lay in my in my bed, my arms wrapped around her delicate body, I kiss her on the forehead. She opens her eyes and looks drowsily up at me:
"I love you, so much." She whispers, and I smile and hug her closer to me.
"I love you too."
