BITTEN (PAUSED)

Dancing in the Moonlight

Song Recommendation: When I was your man - Bruno Mars

Scarlett's POV:

TW: Smoking

The moonlight shined brightly through the long white curtains that lined the large window of my familiar bedroom.

I looked to my side, setting my phone upright to check the time.

1:42 am

I slowly sat up from my bed, my cold bare feet pressed against the wooden floor of my bedroom, as I steadily made my way to my dresser. I grabbed out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, closing the door as I walked out onto my balcony that connected to my large bedroom.

My feet pressed against the brick of the balcony, as I took a cigarette out of the box before throwing the box on a nearby table. I took the lighter from my hand, shakily lighting the flame onto the cigarette. I threw the lighter next to the cigarette box, my cold wrists wrapping around the white railing of the balcony.

I placed the cigarette between my teeth, inhaling for a few seconds before blowing out a large puff of smoke.

I don't usually smoke, but it's at times like this where it feels like one of the only solutions. I tilt my head up to look and the moon and the billions of shiny stars that surround the black night sky.

I love the moon. It's relatable in a way. I was like the moon. The moon shined brightly in the night sky, capturing the attention of everything around it. But when the sun is up, the moon never stands a chance. The moon hides away itself when the sun is up, as if that part of it can never be shown.

And thats exactly how I feel, that I can never show my true self when others are around.

Another big puff of smoke dragged out of my lips, the smoke filling up the air that surrounds me. As I pressed the cigarette to my lips for another drag, I heard a noise that stared me, footsteps.

Light footsteps pattering against the cold floors of my apartment, causing goosebumps to rise on my skin upon hearing the sound. I slowly turn around, suddenly seeing eye to eye with the blonde woman. She had a look of concern written all over her face, which she usually seemed to have whenever she was around me. I sigh as I turn around, looking back up at the night sky as I drop the cigarette from my lips.

"I didn't know you smoked" She states, as her footsteps get closer and closer to me.

"Theres a lot you don't know about me." I reply dryly.

"Then let me get to know you more" She whispers, her warm arms suddenly wrapping around my waist from behind. She settles her face into the crook of my neck as she lets out a slow sigh.

I slowly lean my head back, as It softly rests itself  onto her shoulder. We sit there in silence for a moment. Her arms tightly wrapped around my small body as I soak in her warm embrace.

"Im sorry." I confess. I feel her head slowly lift itself from my neck, as she rests her chin ontop of my shoulder instead.

"It's okay my love, do you want to tell me what happened?" She asks me calmly, as I close my eyes resting myself against her.

"Just..a lot." I say, sighing as her arm hands run up and down my waist, calming some of the nerves I have.

"Thats okay, do you want to talk about them?" She questions me, to which I slowly shake my head, implying that I don't want to talk about it.

Then we stood there in silence, pure silence. The only sound that could be heard was the wind brushing against both of our bodies, causing a shover to run down my body and goosebumps to cover both of my arms.

Luna quickly noticed this. as her eyes quickly flickered red. She took my hands in hers, blowing into them. Immediately, a heat soared through my hands, as my whole entire body warmed up.

She flashed me a small smile, as she held my hands against my body, massaging them softly.

"Dance with me" I mumble softly. I feel Luma's body move from behind me, causing me to pull away and turn around to look at her.

She was wearing flannel pajama pants, with her usual black tshirt over her torso, with her silver chain around her neck. Her eyes looked tired, but fully awake at the same time.

I walked towards her. Her hands wrapped around my waist, as I slowly put my arms around her neck, immediately pulling her body into mine. I heard her inhale my scent, as her warm hands rubbed against the sides of my hips.

"We don't have any music" Luna says, as we rock back in forth.

"Then we will make our own" I say, smiling widely.

She smiles back at me, as we keep rocking back and forth, our eyes staring into eachothers. The moonlight shining brightly on both of our faces, as the stars sparkle brightly in her eyes.

"Put your head on my shoulder" I sing softly, staring up at the woman towering over me.

"Hold me in your arms" She sings back to me.

"Babyy" We both sing in a weird voice. We immediately fall into a fit of laughter and giggles. My head naturally falls onto her shoulder, and her chin gets propped up onto the top of my head.

Our bodies face the sky, the moonlight shimmering brightly onto the skyline of the tall city buildings onfront of us. It was such a beautiful sight, I wish I could savor this moment forever.

And as I looked up at the amazing woman towering over me, I knew she felt the exact same way as me. The glimmering light shined brighter than ever in her eyes, and that showed me all I needed to know.

That she cherished this moment just as much as I did.

And neither of us had to exchange any words to understand that this moment will be a core memory for the both of us

forever.
