clockwork11.59pm
something special should be happening somewhere. something like a birthday; a birth; a conversation.
amber’s having one right now. a very hazy one; she’s been woken from a dreamless sleep.
are you in your room?
yes
i’m coming over
whatever.
00.18am
something common should be happening right now: sleeping.
kris let himself in. he keeps wanting, or rather needing to talk to amber. some higher power is relying on him for this. he doesn’t even know what he wants to talk about.
i’m sleepy man
oh , i didn’t know you were asleep
amber won’t reply to that, she’s twisting around in bed flipping the covers over. kris doesn’t hesitate to move towards the bed.
it’s clockwork.
wake up.
find her.
keep close to her.
2.34am
kris is warm. amber is cold.
he’s got his arms around her.
he’s got his hand under her shirt.
he’s got a tender hold on her waist.
his head stays in the crook of her neck.
his nose grazes her neck.
his breath floats over her skin.
kris is always close. amber is always near.
6.57am
amber is woken up once again. her shirt is being tugged on.
kris is still here.
skin meets skin.
heat joins heat.
amber enjoys kris.
lips meet skin.
skin meets cotton.
moans meet ears.
1.09pm
sunshine.
smile.
kris.
smile.
6.36pm
hand.
hands.
a pair of them.
amber.
amber and kris.
a couple.
kiss.
kisses.
intimacy.
tick
tock
clockwork
11.58pm
something should be happening right now.
something always does.
because the clock works; and kris has amber in his arms.
