𝓐sk. ⠀ ⠀ ✶ ⠀ ⠀ … ⠀ ⠀ i like how i feel when i’m with you. ⠀ ⠀ @onlydrive
vulnerability is a bleeding wound, ⠀ and she’s never sure how to patch it up. ⠀ how to express her feelings without sounding like she’s the least serious candidate for the grand prize on a game show. ⠀ hesitant and never quite sure how to answer any statement presented to her: ⠀ responding instead with a deflection or a joke.
the worst part of it all is she feels the same way. ⠀ she doesn’t normally feel this way, ⠀ completely willing to lay herself emotionally bare in front of him. ⠀ / ⠀ her breath hitches over the line, ⠀ waiting for him to follow up, ⠀ for another statement that she could latch onto. ⠀ [but she knows him well enough to know that he won’t.]
“ ⠀ listen, ⠀ you’re pretty great yourself. ⠀ ” ⠀ she says, ⠀ quieter than usual, ⠀ biting the inside of her cheek. ⠀ “ ⠀ hey, ⠀ you’re still swinging by later, ⠀ right? ⠀ ”
