i am girl who wasnt joking.

he chuckled.
“You thought I was a dream?”
“You’re the best thing thats ever happened to me, I was afraid my mind made it all up.”
I confessed.
“You would have to of had a very good imagination.”
he said quietly.
“How did you know where I lived?”
I asked calmly.
“I’ve seen you leave your house.”
how would he have seen that.
“When?”
“A few times”
He said quickly trying to change the subject.
I figured it wasnt important and let it go.
“I’m hungry.”
I hopped up and dragged him down to the kitchen.
I took some bread and spread it out on the table.
Peanut butter and jelly, here I come.
“Where’s your family?”
He asked looking around.
“Its just me and my dad.”
I said absentmindedly.
“Oh.”
he let it drop.
“My mom died when I was a little kid, I dont even rememebr her.”
I said over a big bite of pb&j.
“So how long are you staying.”
I asked optimistically after swallowing.
“How long do you want me to?”
He smiled sweetly.
“Forever.”
We both laughed.
I am girl who wasn’t joking.
