Love Me Next to a Hot Dog Cart, Love Me Anywhere
She loved him. She had always loved him. She loved him the first time he walked into their kitchen with her father when she was 17. She had imagined this moment since the first time she heard his voice, smooth as cream, speak her name, "Hi, Darcy. I'm Cameron."
Six years later, it was finally happening. His dark chocolate eyes met hers, softly. It was as if the world stopped moving just for her. The cars in the streets rolled lazily past, but made no sound. All Darcy heard was the pounding of her heart. Her chest swelling with too much exicitment and what felt like no breath. Her skirt tickled her tan legs as the summer breeze tempted her closer to Cameron.
The hot dog smell vanished. His breath, cool peppermint surrounded her, whispering across her cheek, cooling her, and he placed hand behind her neck, catching the frizzy hairs that had untangled themselves from her braid in the humidity. His other arm slipped around her waist, hand firmly planted on her left hip. Her silk blouse clung to her skin, almost sticky in the heat. Their lips touched.
