charlotte :) omg shush my dreams are just dreams
I walked into the gym, seeing Kate already shooting around. When she saw me walk in she immediately placed down the ball and jogged over to me, grabbing my bag from my hand and placing her other hand on my lower back, walking me over to a seat. She placed down my bag and then pulled me into a hug. I was engulfed by her warmth and the smell of vanilla.
"How you doing?" She asked, as she pulled away from the hug.
"Better." I shrugged.
"Sit and watch." Kate smiled, walking over to pick up the ball.
"This one's for you!" She said, shooting from where she stood.
"Wow Kate, I'm honored." I laughed.
"Play your Taylor." Kate said. "I have a speaker right there."
I grabbed my phone and connected it to the speaker that was right next to Kate's bag.
I started to play Afterglow and Kate continued to shoot the ball. I just watched with a smile.
I blew things out of proportion. Now you're blue. Put you in jail for something you didn't do. I pinned your hands behind your back. Thought I had reason to attack.
My eyes widened at the lyrics. I had the realization of a lifetime. I was putting all my anger towards Kate. She didn't do anything wrong! And I had the audacity to yell at her when she was just trying to help.
Why'd I have to break what I love so much? It's on your face. And I'm to blame. I need to say, hey, it's all me, in my head. I'm the one who burned us down. But it's not what I meant. Sorry that I hurt you.
Taylor Swift has never hit this hard before. I knew Kate wasn't even paying attention to the lyrics like I was. I just bit my lip.
I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you. I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you. I need to say, hey, it's all me, just don't go. Meet me in the afterglow.
I grabbed my phone and paused the song, which sent Kate's head darting over to me.
"You good?" She asked, placing down the ball again.
I got up and walked over to her.
"Charlotte?" She asked.
That's when I did it, I grabbed her face and pulled her in, and I kissed her. Right there, in the middle of the court.
She kissed back almost instantly, her arms wrapping around my neck.
Her lips were soft and she was very gentle. We both pulled away and she failed to hide the smile on her face.
"Tell me this love is worth the fight." I said.
"This what?"
"This love." I said.
"Hey, like that Taylor Swift song." Kate laughed.
Jada was right.
To be loved, is to be seen.
