Under the stars

We had talked all night the day before. I felt like my heart was going to beat outside of my chest. Meeting people like this always made me kind of wary. I had just started talking to her on facebook. We did not really know each other. I looked at my phone anticipating the moment she would call. She told me she was dropping her friend off at the dorm across from mine. I was too meet her outside. My phone rang. She said she was outside. I waited for the elevator, hoping she was who she said. Hoping everything would work out, but most of all butterflies soaring in my stomach. She told me she was in the car by the pole at the corner. I looked around and she rolled down her window.
"What do u want me to come out there? "
"I guess" I looked at Savannah still inhaling the moment.
She stepped out of the car wearing pajamas and slippers, not quite what I was expecting, but still as beautiful as her picture. I looked at her as I felt a cold chill rush through my body. She was quiet, nervous, I thought. So I tried to make jokes, lighten the mood. Make things a little less awkward if I could. She talked back to me as we gravitated closer to each other trying to find warmth in each others bodies. I held her close to me and looked into her eyes. I put my hand on her cheek and pulled her close to me. First kisses for me were always weird, but this one was amazing. I looked down at her standing only a couple inches shorter than me, I  held her looking into those eyes. I was falling in the night sky. She told me it was time for her to go. Brief I thought this meeting was, but the bite size time was enough to replay in my head for a lifetime. I pulled her close and kissed her once more before I had to let go. I walked back up to my dorm and laid on my bed. Looking up at the ceiling that night. All I could think about was when I was going to talk, see, and breathe the same air as her next. The look in her eyes repeated over and over in my mind because in them I saw the sparking of the stars under the night sky.
