Moonlight

Chapter 67

Third Person POV ✧

Daisy and Angel sat in the car silently, the boy silently drove towards the place where they had first met, it's where he thought the perfect place would be for tonight.

Daisy's hair had fallen down her shoulders from the unpleasant style she had worn for the event.

Daisy's gaze is drawn to Angel as he drives, her gaze lingering on his dark hair, light eyes, sharp jaw, and overall perfect features.

She then contemplated everything he's done for her, how he treats her, and the tiny gestures that any woman would desire for in a man. Her thoughts travelled back to how cold he was when they first met, how distant and closed off he was, and to know how he was the complete opposite.

Angel had given his entire heart to his moonlight, and nothing or no one could ever take that away from him.

Daisy sat by the window, watching as he drove up to the familiar beach.

She realised he had led her to the same spot where they had met.

Her gaze followed the swaying trees to the left in the cold spring air; the sky was clear tonight, allowing her to see the stars and the moon reflecting off the earth.

She glanced out over the broad beach, the quiet waves, and the calmly resting white sand. They were the only ones there because no one could be seen beyond the sands or the water.

The two teens got out of the car, his arm wrapped around her waist as they walked towards the shore.

They came to a halt just in the middle, aligning with the tide's rise and fall.

Daisy sat down on the sand and lifted her dress up to her thighs to keep it from ripping or becoming destroyed.

She realised the sole light source was the moonlight and the faint street light that illuminated the foreseen beach.

Angel took a seat next to her, removing his blazer and laying it beside him as he sat down.

As he sat facing the sea in front of them, Angel watched Daisy turn towards him.

Daisy exhaled her soul at ease in the company of her Angel and the moon.

Her fingers caressed the smooth sand, allowing the cold material to embrace them.

"It's nice here," She tells him softly.

"It is," He replies his eyes straining on her.

Daisy smiled to herself as she picked up a seashell, inspecting the creamy spiral with her hands.

She sank it back into the sand and raised her eyes to Angel.

"Can you teach me Italian?" Daisy asks.

He raises an eyebrow at her, she giggles and explains further on.

"You're always saying random things to me and I want to know what it means," She says confidently.

Angel kept himself from laughing at his curious girl and nodded slowly.

He turned his body towards her as he began to go over what he would say to her.

"Bellissima, means beautiful." He starts, his gaze fixed on the beautiful girl in front of him.

As she subconsciously saves it in her head, she smiles broadly, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Angel's gaze lingered on her features, which were dark relative to the darkness but which he could identify perfectly.

"Mhm," she hums, nodding her head to indicate that he should go on.

"Bambina, means baby." He whispers softly playing with the strand of her hair hanging loosely around her face.

She frowns and concentrates as she mentally remembers it.

"I do know a couple of words in Italian, only because I've watched shows and movies that were in Italian, though I always had the english captions on." She rambles.

He smirks and shakes his head at the girl.

As he stares at the sand below him, his smile fades and his pulse races as he remembers why he came here in the first place.

Daisy's eyes are already on him when he looks up at her.

Daisy rose from the sand and extended her arms to him.

He gladly accepted them as he effortlessly stood up, the two of them standing in front of each other, their emotions racing.

"Do you know what Ti amo means?" Angel asks his moonlight.

Her brows furrow in wonder as she shakes her head, unsure what the words mean.

"No, can you tell me?" She asks him curiously.

Angel gulps slightly, his adam's apple moving up and down.

The moonlight shone on their silhouettes as he pulled her closer to him, the ocean's calm waters flowing gently with the breeze.

Nothing except pure and unending love existed between the two lovers as they looked into each other's eyes.

"I love you." He whispers, his once cold heart melting because of her.

Daisy's eyes widen as she stares at him, her heart pounding furiously in her chest in response to the words he spoke.

Not knowing that Angel's own heart was beating rapidly out of his ribcage as well as hers, as he anxiously waited for her reply.

Under the moonlight, the girl's eyes twinkled as her lips curved up into a smile, a smile she'd never felt before, a smile made specifically for him.

"Ti amo." Barely above a whisper, her voice replies back.

"I love you, Angel." She says more clearly as she presses her lips against his.

Angel felt complete. In all his miserable eighteen years of living, he felt as though he could breathe, his moonlight loved him back.

The two kissed passionately full of their endless love for each other, under the moonlight.
