Ruh Roh (One on One)

She looked down at him for a moment, landing lightly on the ground before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply.

 

“Thank you for taking me here,” she murmured after a moment, her hand on the side of his jaw.

 

She looked up, tipping her head back to look at the branches.

"Can we touch it?"

 

She looked down at him before extending a hand.

"Can I pull you up?"

 

She gave him a smile, and a warmth would flow through him as she squeezed his hand. She leaned in and he would be able to smell the faint scent of honeysuckle as she kissed his cheek. His feet lifted off the ground and he hovered about a foot in the air.

 

He would feel her free hand resting on his jaw and she kissed his forehead, her hair brushing his skin.

"Hey. Don't be afraid. I've got you."

 

They were about three feet off the ground, and she was bringing him up slowly but surely. She looked down at him lovingly, her free hand brushing through his hair.

"I won't let you go. I promise, okay?"

 

She beamed, pulling him up higher to the tree's branches.

 

She kissed his cheek as they got up close, resting her head on his shoulder.

"See? Don't worry."

 

She reached her free hand up to touch a leaf of the tree, her brow furrowed.
