Jessica Khoury Quotes
He Makes A Face And Tosses The Flower At Me. It Lands On My Cheek, And I Pick It Up And Twirl It Between My Fingers. I Could Lie Out Here All Day, Not Moving An Inch, Feeling The Sun Above And The Grass Below. With A Contented Sigh, I Stretch My Arms Wide, Raking The Grass With My Fingers - And Find Myself Brushing Aladdin's Hand With My Own. I Pull It Away Quickly, My Cheeks Warming. He Laughs A Little.
"Sometimes," He Says, "I Forget You're Supposed To Be Four Thousand Years Old. You Act As Shy As A Girl Of Sixteen."
"I Do Not!" I Sit Up And Glare At Him.
He Grins And Shrugs, Sliding His Hands Under His Head. There Are Bits Of Grass Stuck In His Hair, And After A Moment's Hesitation, I Reach Over And Flick Them Away.
Aladdin Watches Me Silently, His Throat Bobbing As He Swallows. I Drop My Gaze.
