My Refuge, a secret untwined

We sit in the comfortable silence of the porch, the night already upon us. As we sit, I glance up at him, somethings thats normal now...However I find his eyes already on mine, a nervous shiver creeps up my spine and makes its way through my whole body, though I never look away, and instead smile...

How could I not? 

Everyones inside, but yet somehow my mind finds us here, alone, together, away from everyone. I try to look away, this time i don't seem to have the will or the want to pull myself from the prison your eyes hold me in. 

Something between us has blossumed, something beautiful yet deeply intense...

We both realize something is there, something that hasn't been announced outloud, but instead is implied with small gestures. And now only days later do we sit at a table, close, barely touching... Though you make a motion on my knee that you claim to feel like a spider...An inside joke that has grown between us, and yet this time it seems like something more, another small gesture perhaps? 

I get a new set of sensation and confirmation when he leans forward in front of me, vaugely protective, when not allowing another to get too close... and again when we're in the car, driving home from the fireworks, you grap my hand, it now in yours.. Moments pass, and every now & again he gives a reosurring squeeze,

 continuously rubbing  his thumb across mine, and again he doesn't fail when his smile allows the conversation to run freely like a river.

Those first moments when eye contact tells you something special is taking place are quite something aren’t they. They send tingles up and down your spine. And those little touches …ah. I enjoyed the read. First of yours. Thank you.
