No Control

Chapter 6: "I Promise"

Micheals POV:
-----------------
I saw Adele. She was walking on the brick pathway listening to her music, she looked so peaceful. I walked towards her, trying to get her attention. "Hey" I waved, then giving her a hug. She hugged back, taking off her head phones.
I took her hand, and led her to the area near the benches. The grass was soggy and wet, I hated it. I didn't like rain, it made me think of tears. "What did you want to talk to me about?" Adele grinned as we sat down on the black bench. "I love you" I told her boldly. "God, I love you too much" I said again, I took a strand that was gently swaying across her face from the wind and put it behind her ear. "I... I love you too" Adele said hesitantly. I didn't think about it too much, I wasn't much of an over thinker.
"After Adele died, I couldn't feel anything" I silently whispered, still close to her beautiful face. "When I met you, you made me feel something. Whenever I would make my coffee in the morning, I would think of your eyes. Every time I read a piece of literature, I think of you and the way you speak..." I told her as I tried pouring my feelings. "Before I met you- I thought the humans that I saw were just creations in my mind. When I met you- until I felt warmth, a heart beat- I knew, I wasn't alone" I continued.

"Every piece of you is gold. You were home to me, my safe heaven. When I met you- I wasn't only astonished by your beauty but the way your dark eyes wanted to know more, wanted to learn more. You were interesting, you were a piece of art..." I continued, only seeing her lips inches from mine and only seeing the soft beating heart beating.

I put my hand on my cheek and I laid my lips onto hers. It felt so passionate- I can only see stars and colors behind my closed eyes. I can only feel the warmth of her skin and her soft lips. I can only hear the heart beating growing louder and louder. I can only smell the fresh air and Adele's scent- she smelt like flowers. She placed her hand in my hair and I pulled her closer- it felt better that way.

When I kiss you- all the beautiful words erupt and fill into my lungs, creating flowers and trees. I felt happy. It felt like the only oxygen I needed was hers- she kept me alive. I can see the world with my eyes closed- I used to be afraid of seeing the real world. I felt safe when I'm with her - I'm safe.

"Michael- I love you" Adele whispered, leaving heavy trials of words. I felt like the whole world was spinning- we were connected like the constellations in the sky. "Promise you won't leave me and I promise I won't leave you, no matter how hard life is going to get" I looked into her eyes.

"I promise" Adele replied.
