Eyes Behold

51. I love you

Jordan just couldn't believe it. His always composed Rose , who always liked to keep things in order was standing on top of one of the tables with a mic in her hand . He had duly noted in mind that he was going to fire the person who even gave her the mic right now. Rose wasn't exactly doing much except spewing out a few secrets of her dear friends, which he definitely didn't want to hear.

Amelia and Claire had tried ,but all efforts had gone in vain. Rose wasn't ready to shut up or climb down that table. The worst blow had been taken by Tyler. A drunk Rose had magically been able to remember all his girlfriend's name, which were quite a few and had announced them loud and clear on the mic. Tyler, who was looking like a wounded puppy ,was shifting nervously under his parents burning gaze and was already plotting a murder of Rose and Dylan who couldn't stop laughing at all.

Jordan was quite thankful that he had ridden the media out just in time . He finally focused back on Rose who despite her sweet voice was intent on butchering his latest single . Even Jordan couldn't bear it anymore. So he decided to take things in his hands and made his way towards Rose.

"Rose! Little one ! "

Rose immediately stopped singing in the middle of the verse and started looking around, looking completely confused.

" I heard my Grumpy. Mr. Grumpy! Where are you? Mr. Grumpy! " she shouted his name loudly in the mic. Jordan cringed back.

"Sweetheart, here ! Look down!"

Rose finally looked down and saw him standing just next to the table she was standing on . She suddenly smiled , wide , spreading her arms out like a bird about to take off,maybe she was.

" Oh Jord..." She said as she spread her arms towards him.

" Love no ! No Rose!" But Rose had already started bending down, losing her balance suddenly. Jordan quickly caught her arms as her feet stayed planted on the table. Rose chuckled at their position but thankfully let Jordan pull her down. The moment her feet touched the ground, Rose bought her hands up to cup his face.

Jordan looked down at a completely flushed, red Rose, her lips parted, her breathing coming in short breaths as her eyes glistened even more in the lights around. She looked perfect, an angel sent for him , just for him. Jordan let his knuckles brush her cheeks lightly, observing her closely. He could see her eyes flutter close and feel her leaning into his touch. She let out a shuddered breath and opened her eyes , looking directly into his, golden sea green staring into warm honeysuckle.

" I love you"

A whisper, a mere silent whisper but it held the power to shake his whole world , completely. His hand stopped caressing her cheeks and his hold on her waist tightened. But nothing mattered now . It seemed that every single soul had left the beach, it was this quite. Even the light waves of ocean couldn't be heard , as if giving them the opportunity to enjoy this moment of their life , to administer every heart beat that skipped as they stood in each other's arms. Everything had stopped, maybe his heart too.

" I love you Jord. With everything my soul can offer . With every heart beat my heart can register. With every breath in this body. I love you. I love you so much. "

Then suddenly, it picked up speed . Fast. Too fast .

Her eyes screamed honesty . It seemed they were the anchors that were holding him to the ground. Cause if it wouldn't have been for them ,he might have soared high in the happiness he knew he couldn't handle. His first world famous album hadn't been able to make him this happy, the thousands of fans screaming his name had never been able to make him this happy . Heck no award in the whole world had been able to fill his every cell of existence with happiness as much as Rose made him feel with these words.
