Magic Under The Moonlight

#MidnightSunMovie

The night was bright, the moonlight was hiding the shiny stars. It was smiling down on me as if it was aware that my life was about to take a turn. I stared into the sky. My face mirrored the smile that the moon had. 

I was in the middle of my thoughts when a young man of handsome presence and a bold countenance came and sat beside me. He had striking cerulean blue eyes in which you could easily get lost. His hair were scruffy brown and he had faint traces of freckles on his face. His snub of a nose was just an cherry on the icing. His lips twitched.

Oh My God ! Did he notice me checking him out? I am the socially awkward kind of person who wouldn't be able to form a coherent statement if he did.

But he didn't say anything. He just smiled and stretched his legs on the grass. There was something about the way he was simply sitting there looking at the sky. It was intoxicating. 

"Beautiful" he said. Damn! his voice was so calm, sweet and cheeky at the same time. If that makes any sense.

"Y-ya. The light of the moon has engulfed the whole sky. It looks mesmerising." I answered.

"Are you talking about the moon? Because I was talking about you?"

My cheeks flushed at that comment. I squirmed under his gaze. He laughed it off obviously aware of the effect he had on me. 

What is happening to me? Why am I acting so bonkers at the top?

I turned my face in the other direction to hide the blush and offered him the packet of crisps that I had been eating.

"Thank you", he said after taking one. 

I turned to face him. He was smiling with his mouth open, which showed off his set of perfect white teeth. How can a man be so handsome? He is just perfect.

"Hey I am Elijah. And you? " he asked after a bit.

Elijah -the name was straight from heaven.

"Jasmine" I answered. My voice came out squeaky. 

"Pretty name! But not as pretty as you."

And there I was blushing like an idiot all over again.

"Hey" he said gently holding my chin with his thumb. His mere touch gave me fireworks.

"I am sorry if I am making you uncomfortable. I just want you to know how much you are affecting me as well."

"I have an effect on you?" I asked in disbelief.

"Hell Yes!" he said with a chuckle.

"I don't know what is happening to me. I saw you sitting here and something just pulled me over to you. I have been feeling a mixture of emotions since then which I can't quite explain. Can you help me understand what I feel?" he asked.

"I am in pretty much the same condition"I confessed.

"I am smitten by you." Elijah said.

"Is it Love?" he asked. 

"Is it?"

And that was the last bar. 

One look in his clear blue eyes and we were kissing under the moonlight.

I hope you like it.

And I also hope that it came out well. I loved writing it.
