Affinity II

I can't believe I'm doing this again, but aside from the cheese I decided that as this is my blog I thought I ought to have my things in it, good or bad, just because, it's me. This is another extract from my story... it's just as cheesy as the last one, if not more. (The story is told by Anyetta Hallaway, an innocent young woman trying to come to terms with her new-found feelings for Kayla West, the attractive new girl in town. This extract is when she finally realises them.)


"After what seemed like half an hour Kayla stood up. I looked up at her and watched as she walked slowly away from me. She stood about 7 feet away and looked out off the hill to the fields in the distance. In her hand she had a destroyed daisy, drowned by the rain. She hung it down at her side and looked to the ground. At that moment a great feeling of sadness welled up in the pit of my stomach and I knew there was something about her that I wanted to know and perhaps couldn’t know because I knew I couldn’t ask it of her to tell me. My heart went out to her. There was something tremendously tragic within her, something that I could see rested on her shoulders and was a burden to her always. I wanted to go to her. I wanted to know her, everything. I wanted to hold her there and know everything she knew and loved, everything she was. And before I knew it I had stood up and gone to her. I had walked right up behind her and slipped my hands gently round her waist and moved close behind her. She flinched at first and I wanted only to comfort her. But before I could make one more thought escape my mind she had turned around and I was in her arms. She kissed me deeply, the wetness of our shirts seeping against one another, my body firm against hers, hers pushing further against mine and pulling me into her as if in desperation. I felt the rush as it hit my heart and lifted it like a hundred eagles had taken it in their talons and were flying away with it into some beautiful place. The chill that shot through then me sent so many tingles across my skin that if I were to try and count them, even give them a glimpse of recognition, I would be there for eternity. My eyes were wide at first but as I felt the warmth of her skin through the rain I knew at that moment everything, and the world opened to me with its great embracing arms and told me to follow. I knew her and I realised this was all I wanted. Everything I felt at that moment called to me like sirens through the shimmering rain and I wanted to run to it, wanted to find her waiting at the end, wherever I was running to. She pulled me closer and we touched at every point making the fluttering pangs race inside my stomach, rolling round and round like waves, crashing on inner walls. I wanted only to stay with her here, always. Her kiss was like a thousand roses on my lips, her touch like the velvet I knew I had imagined it to be and I never wanted it to end, and I knew at that moment she was mine and mine alone, and I wanted nothing more."
