Lovers of the Night

The stars lit up the sky as two people lie in their backs in a field of greens. The wind made the field danced and the deafening silence of the night hype the solitude of the two people who lied side by side.

He was made of pure beauty, like Zeus himself created him from his bare hands. She was a touch of both Artemis and Aphrodite, strong, powerful and lovely at the same time.

It’s only been three months but she knew she love him already. She breathes the fresh mountain air as the stars glow in a dark night sky. It’s only been three months yet she knew this picturesque moment would remain in the abyss of her memories forever. She felt him stir, and she couldn’t help but look sideways in his direction. He was looking at her intently and she gave him a timid smile before returning to gaze the sparkling sky. She was aware that he was still looking at her, probably studying her profile and trying to figure her out.

“Amazing,” she whispered under her breath.

“What?” he said gently.

He felt her taking a deep breath before saying,

“You …”

“Me?” he asked, softly.

“The experience of you is amazing,” she looked at him and he look back at her.

Their eyes fixed at each other, and he look back at the stars before he loses his control.

“The stars, it’s beautiful,” he said after a moment of silent.

“It’s stunning ... it’s splendid,” she said quietly.

“I want to reach it,” he said looking at her keenly on his side. “But I’m afraid I’ll only break it when I have it,”

She gulp the fresh air and said back, “You assume much. You haven’t even traveled the road in acquiring it and you’re already afraid of what might happen.” She shifted her body to the side, so as to look at him easily, he did the same thing.

“It’ll be difficult to reach it,” he utter, looking at her eyes.

“Even stars fall,”

“Then I’d wait for the day it’ll fall,”

“Doesn’t mean you can’t do anything to make it fall for you,”

“How do I do that?”

“That’s the challenge,” she smirked at him and went back to staring at the sky.

After a moment she felt his hands on her. She smiled and their hands held each other.

It’s only been three months and he knew he would take the challenge.

It’s only been three months and she knew she’s a prisoner of his eyes.

She held his hands and knew they’re thrown into a journey of emotions.

He held her hands and look at the stars, knowing he’d do anything to let the stars fall for him.

It’s only been three months since they first met, yet it feels like they’ve known each other for eternity.

They were lovers of the night and the stars were the only witness of their romantic escapade.
