Moment

“And I knew it from the start, so my arms are open wide. Your head is on my stomach and we are trying so hard not to fall asleep…” Jack murmured along with the song playing softly from the IPod on the bedside table.

Callie’s head rested on his bare chest as they lay in her bed. She was drawing circles absentmindedly over his bare skin while he did the same to her back through the soft cotton of her black tank top. The dim glow of the small lamp on the far side of the IPod cast a soft mood through the room.

“Your heart speeds up every time I exhale,” Callie whispered turning her head up slightly to smile up at him.

Jack blushed and turned his head away slightly embarrassed.

“No, no, it’s cute, don’t be embarrassed,” Callie said sitting up a little. “I like it,” she admitted, softly brushing his bangs from his forehead.

Jack smiled as Callie returned to her previous position. “My heart’s fond of you,” he joked.

He felt Callie smile into his chest before letting out a soft giggle.

“I love these nights,” she mumbled.

“Me too,” Jack mumbled into her hair before kissing her head gently.
