The heavy patter patter of rain on the road was almost deafening and the cold was creeping in with the wind.
I could feel the warmth of her body though, it radiated from her like the joy she held in her smile.
I held her tightly and she rested her head back on my shoulders, watching the falling water while the heavy, homely aromas engulfed my nostrils, from the cafe. It made my stomach turn again...
I was hungry. Not just hungry... I mean, real hunger. It was the old permanent feeling though. I was used to it now.
Her hair was cropped short, strewn with a colorful series of faded ribbons, which matched her dull colored clothing. We'd be moving again, I could feel it. I loved the wild energy that ran through her blood. It was exhilarating. Soon, the rain slowed, and she made for the road. We did need to get home after all...
I grabbed her arm before she could skip off and pulled her back to me again. I took the pen out of my pocket and showed her my arm as I wrote her name on it.
Gemma Eloise Daniels
I murmured her name to myself as I wrote it. She laughed lightly and touched the dark ink on my tanned skin.
"What's this?" She asked, intrigued, her smile radiant again.
"I have no money...
I have no car...
I have no house...
I'm not very sharp...
I've got nothing to give,
I've got nothing to offer.
Please, if you'll take me,
I'll give you my heart." I said the words slowly... broken.
I'm yours... I thought as the smile faded from her face, replaced by surprise. A flicker of doubt crossed my mind but she simply touched my cheek and kissed me...
