- she is the high...

He bites her lip, swallows down the laughter that threatens to bubble up out of her throat. It’s so hard to keep it down when the giddy feeling threatens to overwhelm her; each heart-beat sends another rush of joy - pounding through her pretty veins, each breath of air - like the first taste of freedom. {…} He’s trying to keep quiet, still, though she can see his shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter. Yet, seized with undisclosed trembling. His hands are wrapped around her elbows, holding her close, and she can feel his warm breath fanning over her face. Her own hands are resting, on his chest, her fingers hooked loosely into the fabric of his shirt, and just beneath them is the unsteady fluttering of his heart. {…} They’re curled into each other on her bed, lights out and they have to press their heads close together so that their shared earphones stay in place. {…} Still, it’s so hard not to laugh, so hard not to scream her happiness for all the world to hear. It’s not the movie – she can’t even remember what the movie’s called. It’s just, it’s being here with him, in his arms, knowing that he loves her and god, she loves him. She’s never felt anything this brilliant, and she’s so happy it would hurt if it weren’t so damn good. {…} He kisses her forehead lightly, and she can feel his smile against her skin. It makes her smile in return, and her heart kind of wants to explode. This is simply beautiful. This is amazing. This is everything she’s ever dreamt of, and everything she hadn’t even known she wanted. {…} She’s so happy - it feels like she’s flying, and the only thing keeping her grounded is his arms around her, holding her tight.   (feat. ameerah)
