Happy Pills

"Heaven"

You lit your cigarette as you called my name. It was dangling on your mouth when I saw you. You were rummaging through your messy hair. Trying to fix the curles and just simply getting annoyed of the swirls blocking your view. You were battling between taking off your shirt or smoking the stick first. You grunted and sighed heavily. Your hands reaching for the thin white wrap of happiness. 

"Hey." You turned to me as you blew the smoke slowly into the air. Your eyes darted sideways and a smirk forming on your lips. You lazily made your way towards me while breathing your cigarette in. Your eyes rolling around, the stick barely dangling lopsidedly on your lips. 

"Steven. It's late." I quietly said. Still standing and not moving on the corner. You let out a laugh as you blew another smoke in the air. It smelled like mint and burnt leaf. And I don't like it. 

"Heavenly.. Heavenly.. Heavenly.." You continued smoking as you called me by your made up nickname for me. You stood quirkly in front of me. You look tired and thinner than the last time i saw you. You finally met my eyes and before I could even speak, you blew smoke into my face. 

I coughed hard as I held my breath while keeping my vision half-open. The thick smoke is really sticking on me. You continued blowing smoke in my face, giggling as you exhaled it from your system. I waved my hands around, my lungs betraying me, as I moved away. 

"Stop i---" I was about to grab the cigarette away from your mouth but you took me by surprise. You grabbed me on my waist and brought me closer to you. Your long, slender arms wrapping around me as the music shifted into a slow song. 

"Steven what th---" You stopped me by putting a finger on my lips. You crazy cheat. I badly want to strangle you right here and right now. I was too annoyed to be more rational and I'm not up for midnight fights. The air made me feel suffocated too. I badly want to leave you alone. 

You dropped your cigarette on the floor and burried your face on my shoulders. You tightened your arms around me. 

"Until the song ends.." You shusshed me as I started to squirm within your grasps. I can feel your breath on my skin. And we stayed just like that, until the song ended.
