She's sitting on the dirty bed,
dragging from unlit cigarettes.
Her fingers are curled into the
pillow.Her eyes rimmed with
smudged black eyeliner
and her lips a red smear
shes puffing imaginary smoke
rings into the the reflection in
the mirror.

She maybe thought she  loved him,
yes those words might have passed
her parted lips. But they can't be
held against her, she was under the
influence of lust.With his dark
smouldering eyes and mischevious
smirk. And his crisp white button down
shirts that are now patterned
with her lip print kisses.

She glances with hooded eyes at
the steamy glass door of the shower.
She can faintly see the outline of his
body, muscular and masculine.
A faint blush rises in her cheeks
and she wraps the thin coverlet
closer around her body.
Her toes are painted a bright pink
and seem too innocent to belong
to a body that did what she just
did.

Her stomach feels hollow, like
she just ate a huge dinner of nothing.
She places on hand above her
navel to make sure her tummy
still exists. Her hands are cold
to the touch and that now reminds
her of him touching her
so she stops and yet again inhales
from the cigarette.
Watching the invisible smoke
wisp up into the cracks in the ceiling.

"What are you doing?"
His voice causes her to jump
a bit but she quickly regains her
composure. She stares at him
with her big brown eyes. Wraps her
lips once more around the cigarette.

"I'm pretending to be grown up"

Not like my usual writing... but I think I like it.
