Under the moonlight we sat

Sitting in the encasement hard cold steel under a wintery moon light. We waited in awkward silence as I work up the courage to get out in the cold. I am internally a good person and want to save her the maze like trip that a car has to take to get to my place when I can just walk 5 minutes to get there.

She was the first to cave in to break the awkwardness: “So….”
I cut her off short:”Thanks for the ride, really appreciated you saving my arse from freezing over. Though given the same circumstance, I doubt Jay-Lo would appreciate the same gesture.”
Took a moment then she caught the joke.
I leaned over slowly, breathed in her scents fully. Feeling her hot breath on my lips… I turned and kissed her on the cheek.
“No. I can’t do this to an engaged 20 something mom.
Quickly said good bye and left her in her car. The mind foggy from what almost happened.

“I cursed all the way back to my apartment”
