Your skin and mine
The clothes we wear
And the air between
My skin and yours
The clothes we wear
And the air between
Your clothes and mine
Our skin
And nothing between.
He was looking out into the sea. “Know what? I can’t swim.”
I beamed. “Me too.”
We looked at each other, from one loser to another &shared a private smile.
“What happened to you?” he asked.
“I drowned. On the first day of swimming lesson. Never quite returned back. Did you drown too?”
“Nah. My friend did. I drowned him.”
I ignored the chocolate that was trickling down the cone onto my fingers &stared at him, aghast. &albeit in awe. “What happened?!”
“We were just joking around, &I shoved his head underneath the water. He never came up.”
All traces of smile disappeared from my face. “Fuck. Is he ok?”
“He’s alive. Traumatized. But alive.” He looked ahead with a wistful expression on his face, a hint of smile playing at the corner of his lips. Then he took another lick from his Chunky Monkey. I compared my melting cone with his. Unlike mine, his ice cream wasn’t running down the cone. Everything he touches… it’s like magic.
I realized I was staring at him way too long, so I busied myself with my ice cream. Licking away. What was it we were talking about? Oh yea. The friend he almost killed.
“Bet he hates yous guts,” I said, surprised that I could still find my voice. That it still sounded normal. Unlike how my heart was beating now. Cause he turned to look at me, his eyes laughing.
“Not quite.”
“I don’t believe.”
“He’s gay.”
“Ah.”
Typical of him, isn’t it? I thought. Attracting everybody Probably charmed his way out of trouble.
