34. Weakness

She has a neon purple jellyfish tattoo covering her back and I'm scared to hell of those creatures. So when she takes her shirt off with her back to me I just want to tell her to put it on again. But I don't. Instead I let her hold me in her arms and I rest my face against her chest and run my hand through her shoulders and arms, always avoiding her back. It's silly and irrational, and I know it, but I can't help it.
I wonder if she'll sting me someday.
