The Taste of Summer’s Secret

The mist from the waterfall clings to my skin like a secret we haven't shared yet, cooling the heat of the afternoon sun. I can feel your eyes on me—not just watching, but tracing the curve of my shoulder beneath this linen shirt. It’s a delicious sort of pressure, a weightless gravity that pulls us closer without a single word being spoken.

I lift the bowl of strawberries, their deep crimson hue mirroring the flush on my cheeks. I offer one to you, my fingers lingering just a second too long against yours as I hand it over. It’s an invitation, a deliberate game of chicken between intimacy and restraint. Do you take it? Or do you watch me bite into mine first, letting the sweetness pool on my tongue while I maintain that playful smile?

We are standing in the wreckage of the city’s noise, where only the roar of water remains. Every breath feels charged, heavy with the electricity of what happens next. You haven't touched me yet, but I can feel your pulse jumping in sync with mine. This isn't just a snack; it's an interrogation of desires. One bite, one glance, and we both know that by sunset, 'just friends' will be a ghost story we tell ourselves.
