Blue Moon (gxg)

"I wish it was like that." (24)

Bella and I called the Uber and sat in the back seats of the car.
A song started playing from the speakers of the radio as we were hugging each other:

<< When we're out in a crowd, laughing loud and nobody knows why.>>

In the moment we both looked at each other and smiled warmly.

<<Going home in the back of a car
And your hand touches mine. >>

In that moment Bella took my hand and squeezed it gently, just like that song...
I shivered at that sweet contact.

My heart was beating so loud.
I rested my head on her shoulder, cuddling into her arms as our sighs intertwined in the car.

I let out a silent sigh.
I had a strange feeling about that song... as if it was talking about us or to us.
I clung to Bella's waist and tightened my fingers on her dress.

My heart was pounding and I could feel from her deepening breath that she was feeling the same.

When I closed my eyes I heard her heart beating.
Beating in a pawing way.

I could feel that Bella was seeking for my eye-contact, I took the courage and looked up.
We both stared at each other but neither of us dared to speak yet.

Maybe there was no need to speak because the way we held each other, spoke more than a thousand words.

Bella's trembling hand came close to my face and with her index finger traced the contours of my lips, leaving a caress just below my cheek.
My eyes languished in that moment, but I appealed to all my strength not to burst into tears.

The tips of our lips slowly approached with desire.
We shared a smooth kiss, Bella's lips parted, our tongues softly tasting each other.
Her fingers brushed over my jaw, my hand on her hair.

The song keep playing in the background:
<< Cause all of the small things that you do are what remind me why I fell for you.>>

Our lips paused at times to catch their breath and then returned to kiss warmly.

It's like were suffocating words in those soft kisses.
Something important that perhaps we didn't have the courage to say yet.

The car began to slow down, suggesting the imminent arrival at our destination.
Bella swallowed. "I think we have to go..." She whispered surrenderedly when the car stopped in front of the resort.

We slowly walked in silence down the tree-lined avenue.
It seems to have a different meaning to me... it no longer looked like the place Joe and I had chosen to get married but the place where she and I discovered each other.

And that was beautiful but also very scary.
I was feeling so vulnerable about it.
Her presence makes me vulnerable because when I was with her, I let my guard down and I was completely defenseless to all my emotions.

I kept coming back to the lyrics of the song we just heard in the car...

Bella froze in the middle of the street and stared at something not far away from us:
"Can we... would you like to see the sea?"

We found our way through the resort's pools to the beach.
"Wait..." Bella said, raising an eyebrow mischievously.
She grabbed a beach towel that was leaning against a chair and giggled.

"Oh..." I said shaking my head in an amused way.
"What?" She winked sarcastically.
"It's just on loan..."
She always found a way to cheering me up.
