"There's nothing like a dirty look from the one you want"

Have gotten so far, and yet still not even close.

The night wasn't young anymore and she kept holding him so hard he might even bruise. There wasn't a way he could possibly be missing all these, the sings were loud and clear. Or were them more like a scream of desperation?

Anticipation did always had the habit to set you up, was this night going to end according to it?

Time was about to tell, but the possibilities seemed thinner by the hour.

She kept pondering all her options, she could give up and go home; save her self from being an stubborn fool or she could of course stay and await for whatever it could come.

There were always two kind of endings to a story like that, either she went home by herself or accompanied. 

At this point there was only how much she could do, she felt slightly embarrassed and foolish.

Insecurely she mumbled to him - "I'm sorry, it's late and I should go home".

He looked at her with a puzzled face and completely disregard her wish. Instead he grabbed her by the arm and excitingly said "C'mon lets get going! ".........

[................................]

The moment had come, he was holding her by the shoulders and she was holding him by his waste.  Regardless 

of the hight difference, both of them managed to perfectly wrap their arms around each other.

She faced him, and he was carefully staring at her. She noticed it, and blushed. Out of nervousness, like a little girl she  quickly turned away and then realized; she had been awaiting for this moment all night  and when it happened, it still took her by surprise. 

She knew that liking someone like that, would always come along with "the moment". She lunged for it, she could control it but yet again neither her or anyone could ever predict how it will happen.

Gracefully, she turned back to him. She faced him and his gaze was still fixed on her, the softness of his eyes 

were melting on hers. He started at her lips as he got closer and closer to her, his eyes shut and approached her

her distance, making an inch away from a kiss.

Suddenly everything turned deaf around her, the loud surrounding noises were mute and all it matter was the 

unexplainable electricity running through her body. 

Until it stopped, she open her eyes and his smile was warmly receiving hers.

All we ever do is say goodbye

The unbearable need to get out of the car struck. The doors of the vehicle had been opened and their passengers where stepping one by one outside.
Clearly she wasn't coping with the lack of sleep and neither with the situation. It was 4:00 am and all what her tiered eyes could perceive were his jumper in her legs and him standing outside helping her friend.
For all she know THIS, was potentially the last time she will ever see him. Everyone had been dreading this goodbye for hours and now, ever since they all impulsively gone into a road trip, perhaps they were able to escape the nostalgic thoughts of saying goodbye for the last couple of hours, but that moment had become a reality and the reality was standing in front of them.

The car was parked aside the road, close the airport. The chilly air made them all put their warm clothing on. This time was hard for her, not only was she disappointed at him, but once again she will be left full of regrets, what-if's and the worst thing, she would not be certain when would she ever see him again. Time could be months, weeks maybe years or never. Never would be meaning they all become ex-summer lovers, from that crazy time.
What she was most afraid was his reaction, what if the only thing he wanted to do is throw them off and get back home as soon as possible or have a romantic goodbye with her friend in front of her eyes.
Neither would be good scenarios for her to leave with a dear memory.

She stepped lastly out of the tow door car. By that time her friend had rapidly taken her lodge and had said goodbye to them, her friend was hurrying to get as soon as possible into the terminal and check in. Suddenly she realized this was truly her once again good bye time.

As expected, she hugged all of the other boys first with a truly thankful hugh. Next came him, he was awaiting. Hand in his pocket, looking at the ground. This time he went for her, he grabbed her tightly, as tough he knew as well what all had happened, and that their next time together will be unknown.

As the were holding, he looked into her eyes, a kiss would be inappropriate at this point. She had now lost the count how many times, they had stood so close staring into each other eyes, and so many times ending in a laugh or a sentence, this time was not be different, he boldly said under his breath;
- Remember we did this just a week ago?

The instant memory came back to her, and blushed. She knew that was their little secret and thats why he had said it so surreptitiously.

Inches away from a kiss, she stepped back and as her friend took off. As he entered the terminal doors, she took a turn and just saw an empty cold road.
