"I'm sorry, I don't know why I did this.." she looked down."It's okay.. Don't be sorry.. I liked it." I admitted.
"I'm scared.. I don't wanna get hurt.. I don't want you to erase me."
"How could I possibly erase you..? Indie.. Don't be scared.. I'm here for you."
"Promise me you will remember me even if you can't see me!" she desperately looked in my eyes and made me worry.
"I want to be able to see you.. Stop talking like that.. I don't believe I could possibly ever forget you."
"Remember all of my words.."
"I remember every word of yours." I assured her and she hugged me tightly. I picked her light body up and carried her bridal style out of the water.
"We are both wet now.. I don't want you to get sick by the night breeze,we should probably leave.""We can use the blanket.. And we can hug each other. Enjoy the stars for a little bit!" she whined.
"Indie.. I don't want you to get sick." I repeated.
"I won't get sick if you keep me warm!" she caressed my cheek and and I put her down on the blanket, then sat next to her.
"We just need to take off our soaked clothes." she giggled.
"Indie!"
"What!?! I only said we should take off our clothes so we don't get sick!" she shrugged and pulled her dress all the way up. She was left in her lingerie and her silhouette was as beautiful and delicate as her face.
"Indie... Cover yourself up... Somebody might see you and think we're doing dirty stuff.." I blushed like never before.
"I'm covering myself up, okay? It's so much better now that I'm not in my wet dress.. You should get rid of these clothes!" she smirked.
"It's not happening.." I playfully rolled my eyes.
"Fine, hug me.." she exclaimed and I nodded, then got closer to her.
"Oh... Brrr.... Your wet clothes are making me cold.." she complained."Okay, I'll just take my t-shirt off.. But that's all." I got rid of the wet fabric.
"Oh look at you.. You look like a Greek statue, I've heard some songs about them."
"Is that a compliment?" I asked.
"Yes.. Some sculpturesists spent too much time working on them.. to make them perfect.. So it's a compliment I think.. Isn't it?"
"I'm flattered.. You look like a Goddess then.. The most beautiful one." I tried to compliment her back. It was no lie though, her flawless skin, her big sparkling eyes, her silky hair..
"Hug me Tamino.." she whispered and I put my arms around her.
"Does this feel nice?" I whispered back.
"Yes darling! It feels great!"
We sat like that for a while, just staring at the tiny, shiny stars in the sky. They had never shined so brightly before. It made no sense since they were always the same, but somehow they looked different, more vivid. A lot of things didn't make sense at that point though.. Like the fact I had started falling for a girl in just a month... But logic is overrated when you meet someone so special, or when your heart beats in such a happy tone."Indie.. Wake up.. We need to leave." I quietly spoke to her, when I opened my eyes and realized we had both fallen asleep right there on the sand.
The sun was about to show up, and people would arrive at the beach sooner or later."Mmmm..." she hid her face under her arm.
"Indie.. Come on!" I rubbed her shoulder.
"No.." she mumbled.
"Okay, that's it.." I stood up and put my t-shirt back on. I picked up the picnic basket, Indie's dress and then her, still covered in the blanket like an infant. I carried her to the car and put her in the back, then got in the driver's seat and drove off.
"Taaaaami!" she exclaimed when she noticed we were moving.
"What honey?" I asked and looked at her through the rear-view mirror.
"When did we get in here?" she chuckled and leaned closer to my seat.
"Keep the blanket on please... I don't want to be distracted... I'm trying to drive safely.." I spoke as I noticed her exposed skin.
"You're so innocent.." she teased me and wrapped herself up in the blanket.
"I'm not that innocent.. But I'm a nice guy.. I wanna get you at home safe and sound. And also be distreect about the fact you're almost naked..." I nervously laughed.
"What's wrong with being naked?"
"Nothing's wrong about it... But when a beautiful girl is naked in the back of your car.. Well, let's just say it can be quite distracting.."
"You know what else can be really distracting?? When a handsome guy drives a car.. It makes every other driver's work really hard.. But that didn't stop you from getting in a car, did it?"
"Indieeee... Stooop..." I playfully groaned.
"You're so cute when you're being shy."
"Go back to sleep please... It's easier when you're not teasing me!" I laughed.
"Nope! I ain't going to stop now!!!"
"Shhh... Let's just listen to some music! What song do you wanna listen to?" I tried to change the subject.
"Have you ever heard of that song that goes like 'Take my whole life too,
for I can't help falling in love with you'?" she sang, she had such a nice voice."That's an Elvis Presley song!"
"Right! I hope the person who wrote this got to know real love at some point. Cause this song... It's one of those super special songs that somebody writes once.. Full of meaning and love."
"I don't think I've heard somebody else talking about a songwriter's love life before.. But yeah, that was interesting!" it was my turn to tease her.
"Just put the song on!!! I wanna listen to it!" she groaned and I quickly found the song on my phone that was connected to my car's sound system, then turned the volume up.
I kept my eyes on the road, but peeked at her every now and then, and admired her while singing along with Elvis. The sound of her voice brought happiness to me, I smiled to myself.
