One Love Under The Same Moon

Speechless

Shaun sat there stunned from the tingling sensation that had spreadfrom his cheek ,where her soft lips where placed, into his stomach which jittered with absolute happiness.

But she's 15. He thought to himself.

She's 15 but has my heart racing after her! He mentally argued.

With that last thought in mind, he saw Dahlia walk back inside. The way she walked gracefully made his heart speed up but her serene and beautiful face made his heart drop. He knew. Since the moment she laced her fingers with his, he knew that his heart belonged to her.

Dahlia walked towards Shaun and seated herself next to him once more yet this time she remained quiet and sadness filled her face. She felt as if he would never see her the same way or any way, knowing her age. She hated it when she was degraded by adults because of her age.

What a lot of adults didn't realize was that the way she sees things are different than how any other teenager would. She has a wise mind, contained heart, and old soul.

There came times though that adults would confide in her for advice that to them was cherished for they realized her words where wiser than any other adult they knew.

Those adults who do realize her sagacious mind would call her an old soul. On the otherhand, due to her mature state of mind, she found it difficult to see any other guy her age the way she was supposed to. She found them to be very childish, immature, and irresponsible.

She only hoped that the guy that she believed to truely have found her heart belonged to, would overlook her age and see past the difference and into what he feels. She knew there was a connection the instant she held his hand and felt his touch. There was something there but she hoped he wouldn't deny it off of fear of the danger that came with it.

"Dahlia," Shaun placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her gaze towards him.
He saw a tear roll down her cheek and he wiped it away as he felt a pang in his chest at the sight of her deep sadness and fear in her eyes," age doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I finally found you."

Dahlia smiled widely and felt warmth spread into the empty feeling and completely costume her in joy.

He lead her once again to the dance floor to dance a close and slow paced dance. After a few songs, they both sat down to take a quick break and drink. Shaun excused himself to the corner where they offered beverages. He stood there enjoying a old beer which Dahlia thought was sweet to respect her dislike of alcohol close to her.

Dahlia chatted away amongst her new group of friends while Emmy dragged a guy to the dance floor." Poor guy doesn't know what he got himself into", Dahlia chuckled to herself.

Shaun begun to sauntered back to the table. He was still a distance away and looked at the beautiful girl that had stolen his heart. He knew the risks where significant but the thought of not hearing her voice the next day made him cringe in sorrow. As he walked towards the tabe full of laughter, he caught sight of Dahlia biting nervousy on her lower lip and his ears rung with her enchanting laugh as he approached her and the table settled down some.

He sat down next to her taking ahold of her hand tightly. The table continued their conversations. His gaze held hers and he felt a little more relaxed since whenever he was around her, he seemed to feel a jolt of nerves of scaring her away with his honesty. He wanted to tell her the way she made him feel when she looked at him like that with those dark luxurious eyes that seemed to gleem with desire.

He felt his pulse begin to race and his cheeks flushed with a light shade of pink from the wave of heat that spread throughout him. The way she made him feel with just a simple hint of passion in her eyes made his whole body race with need of her touch.

Shaun yearned for her touch, for her lips. To feel her skin under his finger tips and to savor every inch of her.

He could hear the music boom in the background and it made it difficult for him to talk to her. He leaned into her ear and asked," Can I kiss you?" he said as he took of his cowboy hat.

It seemed that she didnt hear what he had said.

"What?" she questioned back in his ear yet she stayed just inches away from his lips. Shaun put his hat in front of them to block out he rest of the crowd to their privacy and closed the distance between their lips.

Dahlia was a bit surprised at first but hen gave in to his soft and warm full lips. The kiss became more urgent with desire. With desire to taste more of echother.

The passionate kiss was cut short when Dahlia pulled away hesitantly befor the kiss deepened to much in the public eye. They might be hidden by his hat but she didn't want him to think that she was that type of girl. Besides, she knew that to be respected you must carry yourself with respect.

He grinned at her with pure understanding and love glowing in his eyes. That kiss was all he needed to satisfy his hunger for her lips. He respected her boundaries and wasn't going to push her.

Dahlia was so caught up in his bright eye's that she jumped up in realization when she realized it was 10:30 p.m.

"Oh my god! I forgot to text my mom", she pulled her phone out from her bag and saw that she had 3 missed calls from her mom.

She got up quickly and went outside, excusing herself from the table and letting Shaun go to the restroom meanwhile.

"Hey mom, I'm so so sorry.. I forgot to call.. it's just I was having such a good time that I forgot to call you..." her explanation was caught of by her mother's calm and leveled voice.

"Honey it's alright", she chuckled in amusement," I was just a bit worried that you weren't answering your phone but I noticed a party invitation on the counter and I assumed that's where Emmy dragged you to."

"Yea.. I'm really sorry." She apologized with a hint of relief in her words.

"What time are you guys coming home then?"Dahlias mom asked sounding a bit tired.

"Well I don't know... what time you want me back home?"

"Just get back home before midnight alright.. you have they right?" Her mother asks in the middle of a yawn.

"Yea I have them.. go to bed mom you sound exhausted," Dahlia looked inside the party and saw the one person she dreaded ever seeing...

"Hey mom I gotta go...umm... goodnight."

"Alright honey.. get home safe.. well get Emmy home safe," her mother chuckled, goodnight."

Dahlia put her phone in her bag and sat on the bench outside. Her hands began to shake with adrenaline and her breaths began to shorten. The last person she wanted to see was standing inside with the blonde clinging onto him. Not only that but her Ex, Ray, was talking to Shaun as if they had known each other forever.

The thing that made her blood boil was the sight of that assholes slutty sister brushing her hand up and down his arm with a dress that was too short to call a dress. It looked more like a tight shirt that clung to the bottom of her butt.

Dahlia's self control was gone and she knew she needed to get away. If she went in there, she knew she would rip off the hoop earnings of that slot and probably slam her air head onto the wall. She didn't want to do anything that would ruin Jayleen's Quincenera so she headed inside in search of Emmy to go home.....

****Oh crap, Dahlia might be an old soul but it seems that her wise mind is being replaced by a raging jealous mind that just might get the best of her. What do you think? Do you think she will just walk in and out with Emmy or will there be stand off between Ray's sister and Dahlia? You won't know unless you stick with me :) picture on the side is 16 year old Ray himself. Hope you guys enjoyed so far because this story is about to take a turn. Comment, vote, and read away ! *****
