Hands Down




Alayna sat perfectly still on her bed covered with a dark red blanket, her legs crossed, focused on the pile of assignments that needed to be done. Her eyes were glued, fixated on the screen of her laptop with Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional blasting from her speakers when her boyfriend snuck up and quickly gave her a tight hug before she could refuse. Ryan pecked Alayna on the cheek and whispered the three words she could never get bored of hearing. Alayna's skin tingled as her boyfriend's nose nuzzled against her ear. How could she possibly be interested in doing her assignments when her boyfriend was giving her the goosebumps? She thought to herself. Before she could change her mind, Alayna pushed her laptop away and laid beside Ryan, hugging him with all her might. All the butterflies in the world could never describe what she feels when she is around him. "I wish I could pause this moment, right now and just stay like this forever" was all she said. Ryan stroked Alayna's deep brunette hair and kissed her forehead. He kind of wished for the same thing too.
