Angel

Prologue

As he walks me to the estate gate I feel the first drop of rain on my shoulder and look up and back at him. I feel a tight knot in my chest knowing it would be the last time I see him. He turns  and sees the gate to the pool house and takes my hand, he looks into my eyes and as I look back at his, I see a sparkle of exquisite wildness and he smirks and drags me into the pool house. As we step on the beautiful red brick terrace. The grey skies make the blue water in the pool shine and the lights in it make it look like a heavenly body existing without support. It almost looks like the water is alive. Living, breathing. Begging for two hearts searching to take a dip in it and find themselves. He turns to me and says 'well I'm going in' and starts to take his clothes off. I stare at him in disbelief and a certain level of awe. He jumps in and smiles at me and starts to swim. He submerges into the water and it almost looks like he is in synchronization with the little waves his body makes as he moves. He emerges and looks at me. 'Well you coming?' He asks and in that moment I know I'll never have this moment again. I take my clothes off and jump in and swim to him. He laughs and so do I. Mainly because I can't believe I'm here, with him. Suddenly I'm distanced by the sound of thunder and the rain starts to fall and we both look up and back at each other and start to laugh again. He turns around and signals me to get on his back which I do and he submerges again and I feel his arms move the water and make a beautiful rhythm and it becomes this ethereal sound that makes my heart beat faster. He swims to the edge of the pool and emerges with me and as I climb off his back he turns to face me. He smiles again and then his face turns serious, he begins to trace the contours of my face with his hands and as he does I feel a spark as his fingers touch my skin. It's almost electric and I moan a little. I wonder how this gesture, so soft yet so strong can have this effect on me. He suddenly pulls me closer and puts his lips on mine. He kisses me with such a fierce passion that I feel a tear run down my cheek. He tasted sweet and rustic, like tobacco and marijuana and mint..
