Random Fiction

pg 158-159

After an hour the wind dies down,
so the kite-flying part of our day is over.

I pull out my phone and check the clock,
My stomach's telling me it's time to eat something.

I quickly reply to a text from Madison,
then I'm back to wondering what comes next with Cade.

"Heads, sushi," I say.
"Tails, Chinese."

"Well, it better be tails because I don't do sushi."

"You don't do sushi? Christ, kill me now!"

I pick up a small stick and pretend to stab it into my chest,
and drop to the sand on my back.

I lie there with my eyes closed.

Warm breath on my neck,
Soft shiver down my spine.

Sweet words whispered in my ear,
"But with you, I might try anything."
