“Umm…. Did you enjoy it?” My mouth dried, as I asked with utmost hesitation. A bead of sweat trickled down my forehead while I waited for an answer.
An answer from her mouth, the words that would finally help keep my mind off the thought of the dreadful future.
I have never felt this nervous in my entire life. The adrenaline was too much for me to handle, especially when I specifically asked her to wear the dress that made me lose control.
It was the most absurd wish in regard to the weather at night but it also may have been the best eye candy I have had in my entire life.”if you're asking me if i like the date, yes i did” relief washed over me, it felt like the breeze just kissed my face in the middle of a beautiful grassland embraced with delicate peonies as the wind danced over the cloud, invisible yet so seen.
“But if you're asking me if i like the arrival, no not so much” her nose scrunched up in annoyance, she looked like a fluff ball in a sexy dress. I couldn't get enough of it.
A light chuckle left my mouth, “there's more!”.
We walked towards my car parked just a few metres away from the lake, “I thought…..” her breath was as raspy as ever.
“Did you think that I would let this slide?” I inched closer, my breathing sinked and our chest heaved.
The breeze that had set me a few moments ago thickened. “Did you…..?” Her body heat engulfed me and her presence wrapped around me like a blanket protecting me from the harsh weather.
Our breathing sinked while I tucked a strand of her hair behind the ear, my nose brushed against hers. My hand lifted her chin up to meet my gaze. Her eyes flickered with a hint of concern that made my body shiver. Just when my lips were about to brush hers, the concern and worry that flickered in her eyes started to shine bright.
My body jerked backwards, I slid my hands in my pocket and shifted sideways. “do you…” my breath hitched as her frown deepened. My body felt the loss of heat and warmth that her body radiated.
“Are you concerned about……. something?” the words came out breathless. “I…” her eyebrows knit in a sharp v relaxed a bit while she turned towards me.
“You were right!”
“Right about what?”
“About me being scared……..” her body tensed, “ahh.. You had something planned, can we talk about this later”
I didn't press on the issue further, “ yea anything!”
It worried me but I didn't want to burden her more. Knowing shivani, she was always worried about …literally everything. If I pressed on the issue more it might ruin whatever I have planned.

The car stopped at a barren land, it was dark.
Cold air surrounded the rustiness in the environment, it sent shivers down my spine. It was both intoxicating and romantic. “Why are…” my breath hitched.
“Miss, may I have this dance?” he held me so lightly, it felt as if feathers brushed through every inch of my body. My stomach lurched.
I had been nervous around him many times but this was different. A soft feeling that brushed my heart, fluttered then settled in my stomach as to making a permanent house there.
A butterfly!
SHIT, I WAS STARTING TO DEVELOP FEELINGS FOR HIM.
Absurd, I was developing feelings for my husband.
“Y..yes” the words came out more breathy than I imagined.
His eyes flickered and his mouth twitched, it was as if he read my mind.
“But do you want to dance in the dark…without music?” I tried to shake off any foreign emotions I felt and said with as much confidence as I could gather.
“You think I am a fool?” he flicked his fingers making them click together. The sound commanded the lights encircled in the air to shine the brightest. We were standing in the middle of a concrete floor with markings indicating it to be a ball dance floor.
The environment hummed with a sweet melody.

The volume increased, it seeped into my soul. The eyes, the one in which I wanted to dive deep in and never get out. The ones that looked as sweet as honey and beamed the brightest when in sunlight.
In the dark they looked as if they would engulf me if I looked in them a minute longer.
I could feel her body shaking a little as we glided on the floor with music seeping in my bones. My hands didn't dare to leave her body and my eyes referred to her. It felt like I would die if I looked away.
I wondered if she tasted as sweet as her eyes radiated.
The air tensed again, her body stiffened. The thickness between us increased, her eyes gleaned again but with need.
Mine radiated the same energy, I did need her, desperately!
My fingers brushed through her waist, flicking the zipper. It reminded me of the time I lost control, my lips on hers, her legs around my waist and……
I shook my head, brushing the unholy thoughts off my mind.” have you always been such a romantic or….”
“No, it’s you” my forehead dipped, touching hers. “Cause I love you, sweetheart!”
Her chest heaved, she let out a deep relaxed sigh. “advit …i’ll be clear”
A exhaled another breath, “I don't know about love but…”
“But” a feeling of hope, took birth in my stomach, “but i do like you, and i do love you but i am not in love with you”
My breath hitched, “it will take time for me to fall in love with you….if you are willing to wait!”
“A lifetime! I'll wait for you a lifetime.” her smile glared at her mouth, beautifully so.
She inched forward, her nose touching mine while she lightly grazed her mouth on mine.
A lump formed in my throat. Butterflies flew from behind her,into all direction leading me to hope, longing, softness and love.
