The Little Things ✔️

Harmony

I walk back into the familiar hall and just stand there. Mat looks amazing. His hair is perfectly brought out by the light blue shirt he's wearing. It kinda makes me feel like I'm dressed down a little. I'm wearing a white breezy dress with a brown thin belt and a denim jacket. I look down at my attire and look back at Mat. He seems to find it quite funny so just laughs.
"Stop it ok I didn't know we were dressing to impress tonight." I say through laughing. He walks towards me so he's standing right by me
"But you still look gorgeous." He says quietly. He makes my insides tingle with excitement. I have know idea what Mat wants to show me but I like the way this nights going already. He takes me by the hand and leads me to the very back of the hall to a small brown door. He unlocks it and staring in front of me is a ladder leading upwards. I look at him with a confused look.
"You first" he gestures to the ladder. I take in a deep breath and follow what he said. The ladder looks and feels quite old so I'm careful when I'm climbing up. It goes up around 10 metres and then ends up on the top of the building. I look around at the amazing view. As I climb off the ladder I notice how calm and beautiful everything around me is. It's a clear night so I can see all the stars around me and the dimly lit street lamps give it that dark feel about it. The roads are completely empty and we are far enough away from the main roads for it just to be a silent hum. A few seconds later Mat emerges from the ladder. He walks up behind me scaring me a little.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" He whispers. I turn around to face him.
"Yeah it is...." At this point we were only a few millimetres away from each other. There's a slight breeze that swirls my hair around us. Mat looks into my eyes for what feels like forever and I look into his. He's so beautiful I get lost in them every time. Without taking my eyes away from him I can feel his arms around my waist holding me in a protective and relaxing way. I move slightly closer to his scent. I close my eyes for just a brief second and in that small second I feel his lips connect with mine. They are soft and sweet and mould so well with mine it's indescribable. We stay locked together for a few endless seconds but it feels like we are together as one. Hearts beating simultaneously like we are sink. In harmony. He breaks away and looks me straight in the eyes.
"Ever since I met you Alice I've loved you. The way you smile laugh, look. I've fallen for you and I've fallen hard....... I-I think I love you." He says looking down at the floor with the last words. I kiss him lightly on the lips once again. I pull my arms around his strong neck,
"Mat, it's ok I think I love you too." I stare into his sapphire eyes once again and we stay there for quite a while until he cups my face into his hands. The are warm and soft and make me feel like once again I'm going to faint.
"I'm going to do everything in my power to make you happy Al. If that means running away with you, if that means staying up all night making sure your ok I'm going to do it. Your my life and I wouldn't want to loose you for the world." Suddenly a tsunami of emotion hits me and all I can do is stand there frozen in his hands. A wave of confidence suddenly washes over me and I smash my lips into his and passionately kiss him with all my strength I can muster. He seems to embrace this and kisses me back with more passion. We break away.
"So I guess we are a thing now" he smiles. I just nod in response. We slowly turn back to the breath taking view that is in our sight. He puts his arm around me to shield me from the cold and we stand there for what seems like hours. Not talking just being happy to finally be in each others company. I love Mat he's my sort of guy. Kind, caring honest, and gorgeous. As we stand there many thoughts flood my head, good and bad.
But what if he's just being a player? What if my mom finds out? He doesn't deserve someone as bad as me! I'm useless I can't keep him? Why would he love me? He deserves way better? Why am I so lucky? He's so warm!
All these thoughts are buzzing in my mind while Mat stares into the surroundings. He looks down at me and pulls me closer to his side.
"Your beautiful Al." God he's so sweet! I blush a deep Crimson and he giggles at me.
"So are you." I whisper. We stay there forever just in each other's arms just in harmony. I hope Mat can be mine forever and ever. He's so god damn perfect.
"I think our love is what you call harmony Al, and I god damn hope it stays that way." He kisses me as the amber sun rises over the stone flats that lay a mile away.
I think this love is what you call harmony, it sings as one and stays in time and in time with the other and never goes off pace. I hope this hope this lasts long into the future Al......so do I Mat so do I.
