Seize The Day or Die Regretting.

The feeling that reeled through me was mindlessly amazing. I couldn’t help but smile at the senses that were blazing with activity as we rode on the bike.
The wind whisking passed my skin, leaving it cool and soft like its baby skin. It soared passed us with the speed of light. My cheek pressed against the back the back of his rib cage. The soft clothe from his tee shirt brushed my cheek carelessly. The feeling of the bike roaring down the streets loudly rattled me to my core. I could feel him tucked tightly against me; Brian was worried something might happen to me so he had me hang onto him tightly. My arms wrapped around his waist, my hands felt his stomach with a light touch.
The smell of the detergent he bathed his clothes in lingered off him along with his body wash. It lingered off his skin, making him smell clean and fresh; like the woods after rain fall. His cologne fell off his skin as well. The bitter sweet scent made me quiver in delight. The mixture of all the scents crept up into my nostrils.
I could hear him muttering to himself, even over the roar of the bike. He was muttering to himself with annoyance. I could feel the amount of annoyance radiating off his body. I hated what he was feeling; I’d rather him feeling happy and joyful, like he usually does.
We pulled over, the bike was turned off but we remained still for a few moments. Brian muttered to himself ungratefully. I listened closely to his mutters, he was cursing about a date he had last night, and it didn’t go well. I tapped his shoulder twice and felt his body shift, he looked back at me.
“Brian, you’re my best friend. Tell me what’s wronging you.” I demanded with a caring voice. I heard him chuckle softly and groan. He climbed off the bike, leaving me straddling the bike all alone. He took my helmet off and helped me off the bike, hands around my waist.
“I’ll tell you about it when we get into somewhere private.”He replied and grabbed hold of my hand. He led me carefully down the side walk. I smiled as I felt the sun glowing down on my skin. It was warm and welcoming. I couldn’t wait to see the way the sun glows in the sky. I can’t wait to lie in the grass looking up at the sky. I can’t wait to watch the rain fall down. I’m getting my hopes up too high again. This has failed before and it might fail again. I can’t get my hopes up too high.
Brian led me into a nice cool shop; the smell of coffee filled the air. The sounds were that of a coffee shop as well. He sat us down in a booth; he sat in front of me. I could feel his knees lightly brush against mine. His hand cupped mine gently. I inhaled deeply and concentrated on the small booth that the two of us inhabited. A serious expression crossed my face as I pushed the sun glasses up my nose to cover my eyes.
“So tell me, what’s wrong? How did your date go last night? I didn’t hear you pull into the drive until just after one.” I said softly. Brian patted the back of my hands with his rough but soothing finger tips. He sighed heavily and shifted in his head, by the way it squeaked and the way his hands shifted on top of mine. I waited patiently for a reply. I was in no rush, if he wanted to tell me then that’s his choice.
“My date was horrible, the date itself was nice and I like the girl, but.” He trailed off. I nodded and waited intently.
“I’m in this situation where I like this other girl as well but I’m not sure if she likes me. I want her to like me but she’s really smart and pretty.” He added with a calm tone. I bit my lip and nodded. I didn’t know what to say for this situation, I’ve never been in this place before but I’ve heard that if you like one person and then another person, you should always go for number two because if you truly loved the first you wouldn’t have fallen for the second.
“How long have you liked this smart pretty girl?” I asked with a gentle tone. I heard him sighed softly.
“I’ve known her a very long time but I’ve only recently began to like her as more.” He replied, his voice was gruff but tender. I shivered in my skin. I arched an eye brow curiously and smiled.
“If you want to know who you should choose, I say the second one because if you really did like the first the second one would still be a friend in your eyes.” I added with a soft voice. I waited for him to reply, he crackled lively at my comment.
“You’re right, I guess the smart pretty one wins.” Brian said with angst. I shook my head in disapproval.
“It’s not a contest, girls aren’t trophies. There is no winner or loser. If you love this person then treat her like she’s the only girl in the world, like she’s your life support.” I gave him some advice on relationships. It was like talking to a child, scolding them when they’ve done something bad. But then telling them what they’ve done wrong. Brian’s had countless girlfriends and he can’t seem to hang onto one for more than a month maybe two. Poor guy.
“How the hell can you have no husband yet?” Briand exclaimed with an eager tone. I blushed and shrugged slightly with a girly smile.
“Because they can’t get passed the blind part of me.” I answered his question with full honesty. I smiled falsely and felt the blush rest on my cheeks.
“So are you going to tell me who this pretty, smart girl is?” I asked curiously. I heard him crackle slightly and groan a little bit.
“A wise blind girl once told me, the less you use your eyes, the more you see.” He told me in riddle. I shook my head slightly and smiled even wider. But the teenage crush feeling didn’t last. I felt a pit in the bottom of my stomach as worry filled me with doubt. What if the operation fails? What if something goes wrong?
“Brian?” I called for his attention.
“Yes?” He replied. I swallowed my fear and sighed.
“What if I die? Or if the operation fails? What would you do?” I asked with a worried voice. It was shaky and unsteady. I could barely think with all these questions running through my mind. I hated thinking like this but there are the possibilities. I felt Brian move; there was a brief absence before he sat down beside me. He hooked his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to his body.
“You’re not going to die; you’re going to get your sight back. And I’ll be here waiting to be the first person you see.” His reassuring voice made me feel better. I curled my lips into a smile and leaned into him.
“I’m just worried that your imagination has played me out to be this amazingly good looking guy and when you see me you’ll run for the hills.” I laughed and shook my head. How could he say that? I didn’t care about his looks. He was my best friend and that’s all that mattered.
“You’ve made the last twenty-four years easier to deal with. I don’t care what you look like. If you’ve been by my side that long then it shouldn’t matter.” I said softly. I felt his arm pull me closer to him. My heart was fluttering with delight.
“Heather, can I give you something that’ll get you through the next little while?” He asked sullenly. I nodded carefully and smiled. I felt his body shift, his soft, warm lips pressed against my cheek softly. My heart was about to explode inside my chest. My head was sky high. I was sent soaring through the sky. He just kissed me, yeah okay it’s on the cheek but he still kissed me. My dad didn’t kiss me Good-Night after the accident. I’ve never been kissed by any other boy until now. Brian Haner just kissed me.
