It’s late, past midnight, but we’re still out. Sitting in my car, my head on his shoulder, his arms round me, absent mindedly stroking my back and shoulders.
I look up at him and smile. He looks back, his eyes searching my face. It’s not until you get close up that you realise how dark his eyes actually are, more black than brown, and infinitely deep.
“What?” I ask, tilting my head to one side.
“Nothing” he says back, so quietly he almost whispers.
“No, what?” I ask again, my smile widening as I bask in the look in his eyes.
“There’s just…something about you, Miss Jones” he replies. I blush and smile back at him, happy that this worked out like this, that the crush I had for over a year actually had a crush on me right back, and finally able to believe that this is actually happening…he opens his mouth again, and says three little words….
“You big geek”
My laugh is muffled against his mouth.

And here I am, looking absent-mindedly out of my window, dreaming of being reunited with my very own crush, of laughters muffled by kisses, and of tender accusations of geekiness, dorkiness, nerdiness, and maybe even intellectualism.
Weirdly enough, I do not feel jealous. I’m so happy for you, Miss Jones.
