Saptember

I had gone outside for a smoke after my little.... moment.... was over. Only to have Jake come out the door a few minutes later.

"H- Hey" he spoke sheepishly.

"Hey? What's up" I asked casually.

"Nothing much, just couldn't sleep is all." he answered.

'Oh, shit.....' I thought to myself

"H- how long have you been up?" I said, my voice cracking lightly.
He looked at his feet, then back up at me.
"just a few minutes" he finally answered, sending hesitant relief through my head.

"How long have you been awake?" he counteracted.

"about 20 minutes I guess" I answered causally.

"Nightmare?" he asked, sounding concerned.

"You could say that" I answered, reciting my dream in my head.

---

"J- Jake" I moaned as he picked up his pace. "Sep- September" he cried back. "I think- fuck.... i think I lov-" he stopped and looked at me.

"September?" he questioned.
"September?!" he asked again.
"SEPTEMBER!?" He yelled.

"What?" I finally answered.

"September, are you okay? You kind of dozed off there"

It was Jake.

It was just a dream, or at least a subtle remembrance of a dream once dreamed.
"Oh, um, nothing. Just thinking"

"About what?" he asked curiously

"Um, about how sorry I am about kissing you"

His expression relaxed, "It's no big deal, Sep. It's okay."

I blushed lightly at the shortened version of my name so little people called me. It sounded different coming out of his mouth, almost, sensual. No. Jake is my friend, what happened was just a 'heat of the moment' thing, it meant nothing..... right?
"Really?" I asked to reassure myself.
He smiled and brought me in for a hug, his arms held me tight. It felt good. I took in the moment... Why does he smell like woman's perfume?

"Really, it's okay, it wasn't your fault..... just, please don't run off like that ever again, what if I wasn't able to catch up to you, were would you have gone?"

I felt guilty, looking down at my feet. But at the same time overjoyed with the fact that someone I barely know cares that much about me.

"Okay, I believe you, I promise never to run away like that...."

"we should go inside." He suggested.
I nodded in agreement and stomped out my cigarette.
We both took a seat on the couch, and fell asleep quickly.
Knowing that the dream I wanted so despraitly to come back, would never become a reality.
