The dots of lights brushed the lake’s rim. The boat gently rocked and swayed with the current. My eyes glazed up to the stars, seeing the whites sprinkle across the purples and blues. Purple.
My gaze wondered back down to Para’s beautiful messy hair. A grin tugs on my lips. Who couldn’t help but smile? A wonderful night with just the two of us. Much like most Friday nights.
I take the paddle out of the water, placing it back into the boat’s dirtied floor. Para turns to look at the noise. I look at her. I mean, really look at her. Zhe smiles shyly.
“What?” Para sniffles as zhe tucks some hair behind zhr ear.
I shake my head. “Nothing, you’re just really beautiful,” I don’t hesitate.
“Hush! You’re just saying that to say that,” Para giggles before turning her head towards the water and extending a hand into the cold water. She swirls her fingers around the darkness. Soft lines created to poll around zhr lined patterns.
I hold a breath in, letting the cool air embrace me. I slowly withdraw the breath; a small fog slowly spreads across between us. My heart races as I stare at zem. I’m not entirely sure why, but she makes me feel feelings that I never felt before. Not before... him anyway.
“You really are wonderful, Para.” I feel the strings in my chest swirl. I stand up and grab onto her arm, pulling her up. “You really are just..” I trail off as I fall into her purple gaze. Zhe blushes and tries to look away.
“C’monnn, hushhhh!” Para giggles. I wrap my arms around zhr waist in return.
“Hey!” Para laughs as I lift her up. “Be careful! Don’t drop me!” Zhe laughs more as she presses her body upon mine. I hold zem tighter. I ust wanted zem closer.
I stuff my face into her stomach while I allow ourselves to spin around. Para’s reaction is to onto me tighter.
“Woooo! Yay!” Para exclaims in excitement as the dots turn into blurred lines of color. I pull my face away and gaze up towards her. My everything and my forever.
I slow us down to a stop. I gently let zhr slide down my arms, but I pull her into a tight hug. I dig my face into her chest. I loved her scent. I loved her soft skin. I feel Para’s fingers brush through my pigtails. Maybe pulled out a hair or two.
“You’re really my everything.” My voice is muffled in her boobs. I feel my eyes heat up and swell. I tighten my grip on her. Why the fuck am I getting emotional now?
“You spoil me!” Para giggles. Her hand glides down my back, her nails traced around my shoulder blades and spine.
I pull my head up. I felt my eyes sting. Para places zhr other hand on my chin. I feel a slight push, basically being forced to make eye contact with my puffy eyes.
“It’s okay to cry,” Para smiles warmly like she always does. I sniffle. A few tears finally trickle down my cheeks once I blink. Para leans down and kisses them.
“Careful. I don’t want you eating foundation!” I inhale sharply to keep the drainage from coming out. Para laughs.
“Let’s see what the lipstick tastes like then!”
“But I’m not-” Para shoves her lips gently against mine. I feel a volcano of emotions erupt in my chest. I kiss Para back with passion, but my eyes are only filled with more happiness.
I deepen the kiss, pushing against her, just to make sure she wouldn’t leave. Not yet. I hope not ever.
Eventually, I gently pull away. Para’s hair starts doing the cool parasytic stuff where it moves on it’s own. A few strands wipe my tears away.
“I knew your lipstick would taste amazing~” Para sticks zhr tongue out as I take zhr hair and blow my nose in it.
“It does not. It’s just my regular lips,” I say with a pout before Para’s hair extracts into it’s regular messy curls. Para holds my face, squishing my cheeks around.
“Hey stop that..”
“I won’t leave. I promise.” Para turns my head to look at the stars with zhr. “See all of those? We’ll be there some day.” Para puts my head back to her cute lil face.
“What if I go to hell or somethin’?” I ask.
“I guess we’ll all kinda join you huh?” Para pushes her hands back to my pigtails to play with them. “It’s not like any of us live sin free.”
“You deserve more than the heavens though,” I say like a sappy piece of shit. “I want to give you more than this shitty world!” I mumble, “and this shitty row boat.”
“I love this shitty row boat.” Para puts my hair to her nose. “Gosh you always smell amazing... how do you do it?” Zhe asks with her face stuffed with hair.
“I dunno...” I trail off as I press my forehead against her cheek. “Wanna cuddle?”
“Of course silly!” Para’s muffled voice pulls away from the black strands that flow from her hands.
Para takes a seat on the middle seat, patting zhr lap. I sheepishly take a seat on zhr thighs and lean against her shoulders.
Para wraps her purple, painted nails through my hair. Zhe brushes out any tangle that came into her way. I exhale softly, my head pushing more against zhr neck. I feel my eyelids get heavy. I allow them to softly close, only to rest them though.
Para hums gently as she leans zhr head against mine. Her other hand traces my back. Her nails were smooth, usually they’re a bit jagged. I let myself fall into a mini trance from her gentle singing and physical comfort.
“You think you’ll ever take out your extensions?” Para softly interrupted her singing to ask more about my hair.
“What is up with you and my hair tonight?” I giggle as I turn a bit to be able to play with my own hair. “I don’t know. I think I’ll replace them in a month or two.” We both run our hands through the long, thick strands of black.
“That’s a long time! I wonder how long your hair is now,” Para goes in to smell my head once more. “I can’t wait to brush all the dandruff out when you take them out,” Para purrs as she nuzzles herself against me.
“Yeah well, someone has to. Glad that you enjoy taking care of my hair,” I grin against gentle shaking.
