I held my hands to my mouth as I stared at the beautiful sight in front of me. Hundreds of fireflies illuminated the air as they floated above the pond that was covered with lily pads topped with small pink flowers, they floated gracefully in the air flashing in different patterns as frogs and crickets croaked and chirped everywhere. Above the trees were a healthy green vines crawling up the trunks with blue flowers blossoming on the vines and a few feet ahead there was a patch of colourful wild flowers of almost every kind, the place was crawling with life, and all of it was beautiful. Slowly a firefly drifted in front of my face and Ray gently grabbed enclosed his hands around, it leaving a faint glow between his fingers.
"This is the place I go to every time I need a cool down, a place I can feel safe and relaxed...my sanctuary, I haven't shared this place with anyone not even my best friend and...I happily share it with you...my love," he whispered in my ear as he released the firefly and wrapped his arms around my waist. My heart was racing, pounding against my chest, my breathing became shallow as my lips quivered and tears began filling my eyes. Slowly I turned around and placed my hands on his chest as we stared into each other's eyes. His arms were tight around me, and the fireflies illuminated his face, giving him a Godly glow.
"I love you Levi....always and forever." He whispered gently while tightening his arms around me. I could feel the words swelling in my chest; they were forcing their way up my throat, desperately trying to burst out.
"I...." I said softly as my body began trembling and I felt Ray's arms tighten around me, giving me the strength to carry on, showing that he was there for me.
"I..I..I love...you," I whispered as tears began streaming down my cheeks. Ray kept his eyes on me as a large smile began forming on his lips, and I could hear his breathing becoming rapid.
"Say it again," he breathed out as his eyes began glassy. I stared at him and I felt a smile slowly forming on my lips as well.
"I...I love you," I said a little louder again. He smiled broadly as I saw a tear shoot down his cheek.
"I love you!!!!!" I shouted and I jumped into his arms. Tears streamed down my cheeks as we laughed and he spun me around, holding me tight as we continuously said I love you to each other. Finally Ray lost his balance and we fell into the patch of wild flowers still laughing and smiling. I lay on top of his chest as we stared into each other's eyes, smiling. We closed our eyes as we slowly leaned in for a kiss, and then our lips met. It was electrifying, waves of happiness shot throughout my body as our lips met, and I felt a warm current of heat spread throughout my body. As we kissed, we would take turns whispering I love you to each other, experiencing how new it felt that every time he said I love you, that I would say I love you back. I was tender and warm, but something about it was different; It was more, deeper, more meaningful, and it told more words and showed more emotions than ever before. Slowly, our lips parted and he cupped my face into his hands.
"I cry too much," I sniffled while still smiling.
"As long as they are tears of happiness...then I'm happy about it," he said softly while wiping a tear away with his thumb. He pulled me into another deep kiss that took my breath away and made my heart pound against my chest. We laid there in the flowers, relishing that feeling of our love becoming deeper and stronger, often he would take a quick peek on my lips and whisper I love you and each time I would say it back and return a kiss. Every time that happened, we smiled and return to holding each other. Our legs were intertwined as his arms were wrapped around me and my hands were placed against his chest, it was a perfect fit. The chirps and croaks were music to our ears, and the fireflies were like fireworks.
