Ch 5: The Night The Moon Danced

They both were started buy the sudden vibration as Lisa quickly pulled herself off of him. She rolled her eyes and replied to the text message she received.

"Sorry bout that. It was just my nosey friends, that's all."

"Its ok," replied T-man as he raised himself upright again. "No harm done." She smiled at him gently as she looked up at the nights sky. Either it was just his imagination, or Lisa was just more beautiful now than ever before. Maybe it was how the moon reflected off her skin. Or maybe it was the gleam in her eyes. Whatever it was, he couldn't take his eyes off her. "You're daughter looks so beautiful tonight tonto." She said He smiled with a light chuckle.

"Yea, Luna is always beautiful in my eyes."

"Sadly I have to be going soon. Nana wants me in by ten and its already nine forty-five."

"Hmm, I see." he said, with a sigh. They both sat their silent for a while, then looked at each other and smiled.

"I guess we should get going princess. Don't want to get you into trouble with you nana."

Lisa nodded as he helped her up.

They walked along the same path that led them to that perfect spot over looking the river. The cool breeze from the water gave the park a very lovely atmosphere. The chill gave Lisa the perfect excuse to wrap her arms around his as he lead her back up to the fountain were they met. They didn't speak a word as they walked hand in hand. About midway, Lisa leaned in as she wrapped herself around his arm. He didn't mind at all as he smiled at her, then looked up towards the moon. His mind which usually has a million thoughts a second was completely blank for the first time in years. Just being with her made everything feel just right in his heart. He felt like he was walking on cloud nine as they glided along threw the trees and into the opening as they finally reached their destination.

"Well I guess this is it ..." she said as she slowly loosened herself away from him. " It was great to finally get to see you in person tonto. I really enjoyed our time together."

"Me too." He replied, feeling that same nervous sensation again.

"I really wish I could stay a bit longer but,...well rules are rules."

"Yea, I know what you mean. I got to be going myself pretty soon as well." with a smile, lisa smoothed her hair over her ears.

"Yea. We really have to do this again sometime. Maybe a bit earlier so we won't have to end our night so suddenly." T-man Nodded in agreement.

"Defiantly."

They both smiled at each other rather nervously as their eyes danced around trying to avoid direct contact with each other.

"Well..." Lisa started, but the look on his face prevented her from uttering those final words of goodbye.

As they looked at each other with the innocent eyes of a doe, that familiar nervousness creped back over them and sent a relaxing chill down their spins. Slowly as if caught by a trance, they began to lean into each other . Time and everything around them grew still as their faces grew closer and closer. Then suddenly with a deep breath, Lisa sank her head into his chest as she wrapped herself around him like a glove. She felt so soft in his arms as she snuggled herself in tighter. He could feel her heart beating once again alongside his in perfect harmony. Once again they were transported to a realm of their own, as they lost track of the time, and their surroundings. And once again, they were ripped away by the melody of her pink glittery phone.

"ugggggh!" She groaned as she slowly pulled herself away from him again to answer her phone. She already knew exactly who was on the other line before pulling it out.
