˖ ࣪⭑ dating steve harrington (beginning of summer version) ˖ ࣪⭑
swimming pools, phone calls at midnight, running your fingers through his messy hair, kissing under a street light, spilling wine and laughing about if for hours, white fluffy towels that smell like his laundry power, watching him press a cold glass of lemonade to his cheek, everyone in town leaving their windows open all day long, freshly cut grass, the book he borrowed from you sitting on his bedside table, taking a cold shower together just to get a break from the humidity, carrying around tote bags & water bottles wherever you go, the sudden coolness that comes from walking bare foot across his kitchen floor
tracing the tan lines on his hip bone, sea shells that he brough back from the beach for you sitting on top of your dresser, chipped blue nail polish, kissing for hours on end because you have no plans all summer, getting sand stuck in your shoes, kisses that taste like fresh fruit & ice tea, sleeping under thin bedsheets so you can still cuddle into his side, blasting the air conditioning in his car and switching channels on the radio until you find something that you like, taking polaroid pictures, getting bubble-gum ice cream and watching steve's tongue turn blue, driving down to the harrington's beach house for the weekend, all the desperate/sweaty touching that summer brings
the first few days of sun-kissed skin, the soft humming of your bedroom fan, the scent of sunscreen & bonfires hanging in the air, running across hot pavements, impromptu sleepovers that last entire weekends, jumping in lovers lake just to feel the cool water against your skin, wearing short skirts just to mess with him, his boy-ish smile, playing card games all night, melted lip balm lost in the backseat of his car, all the late nights that fade into early mornings, drinking diet coke with crushed ice, the scent of the ocean water lingering on his skin, endless boxes of cherries, his wet hair, stolen t-shirts & sweaty hands
