Crush

Blind date for Valentine’s day?
Oh wait, I know her.
She’s my childhood enemy.
And very off limits.

We were eighteen when we first met.
She was stepping out of the pool.
A goddess rising from the water.
I was the cocky prick that said everything wrong.
My attempt to hide my real desire.

We didn’t act back then, but now we’re all grown up.
And a blind Valentine's date is about to throw us into the fire.
If the wrong people find out about our relationship, we’re screwed.

My enemy just stepped into the lion’s den.
And this lion’s hungry.
