Better than Love

Chapter 1:

I felt a small tug on the sleeve of my shirt. I peeked through one of my eyelids and saw his familiar figure kneeling down before me. He shook my shoulders gently.

“Maki, wake up.” I could faintly hear him call my name. I slowly rose up from the ground and rubbed my eyes with the back of my hands. I looked outside through the shattered windows and noticed that it was still dark out. I shivered when I felt a cold gust of wind brush upon my cheeks. I blew warm air through my hands and cupped my cheeks to keep myself warm. He noticed what I was doing and immediately copied what I did. He blew warm air into his hands and placed them on top of my hands. I could feel my cheeks burn from the closeness of our face. He didn’t notice since my face was already red from the nippy air. 

“Feel better?” he asked grinning at me.

I nodded my head shyly. He let go of my hands and got up from the ground. I realized what was going on when I saw him shove his sketchbook in to our old tattered duffel bag.

“Are we bolting again?”

He nodded his head.

“They found out what we were up to so we have to vamoose someplace else.” He said giving me one of his lavish smiles that would always catch me off guard.
