Just For Tonight

          "Why tonight?" Shayla asked in a hushed tone as she turned her pale, moonlit face towards the body laying next to her.
          "Why not tonight?" The huddled up form shot back without pause as he stretched his legs out under the blanket that they had both been under moments ago. Propping himself up on one of his elbows as he spoke in order to look up towards the face of his girlfriend of the month.
          Dusty rose hued lips pursed together to form a pout as Shayla thought over the question. A few more milliseconds went by as she forced herself to smile faintly before beginning to reply. "It just doesn't feel right, something is wrong... Something is missing," she whispered into the chilly night air, shrugging her shoulders forward as she responded.
           "Things never quite feel right to you," Edmond pointed out in a matter of fact way as he pushed their blanket down to waist level; words muted some from the rustling of the blanket. Letting out a low grunt as he pushed himself up into a sitting position; bareback pressed up against the cab of his truck. "Sometimes you have to ignore those whispers that you hear in the wind," he added in a whisper of his own, snaking out an arm around Shayla's shoulders; pulling her up against him.
          At first she flinched from his previously comforting touch before settling in against him as she was supposed to. Her initial response concealed as a simple shiver; believable enough given the chilly night air and her current lack of clothes.
