Ben Howard - Only Love **song on the side
A warm breeze flows through your garden, slowly swaying the hammock you're lying in with your boyfriend Luke. The suns ray beating down onto your skin, heating you up even though you're not cold, due to being wrapped in Luke's arms. He has one arm wrapped around your shoulders, gently stroking the skin of your upper arm whilst he hums along to the music playing softly in the background. With your head propped against his chest, you can feel the vibrations from his humming resounding in his chest going along with the delicate beating of his heart. In your hands, your grasping a copy of Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice', which you're reading attentively, something Luke jokes about with because you read books like this "just for fun", but deep down he admires this about you.
"Darling you're with me, always around me. Only love, only love. Darling I feel you, under my body. Only love, only love." Luke's gentle voice begins to sing with the music in the background, distracting you from your reading, making you close your eyes to bask in the warmth of the air and the warmth of his voice. "Give me shelter, or show me heart. Come on love, come on love. Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart." His voice, remaining quiet but grows in terms of passion and confidence whilst he sings each word, as if he wrote them himself. In between gaps in the lyrics, he ranges from leaving soft kisses on your head and humming in satisfaction, when you do things such as intertwining your fingers with his.
You don't interrupt him whilst he sings, revelling in the beauty of it too much to want to disrupt him. You shuffle around on the hammock, being careful not to rock it too much in fear of you both falling off it, and you end up cuddling into his side, his arm still wrapped around you and your hand still entwined with his. His eyes are closed whilst he sings, giving you the opportunity to gaze at him and admire his features. The way a small smile tugs at his lips whilst he sings and a small dimple carves into his cheek as the smile broadens, yours doing the same.
"And ill be yours to keep. A wind in the shadow, a whale song in the deep. A wind in the shadow, a whale song..." He peeks one of his eyes open and glances down at you, clearly having noticed your eyes burning into him, watching him sing to his hearts content. At this, he chuckles mid lyric, causing his eyes to crease around the edges and his smile to take over his face. He lightly bites on his lower lip, eyes still closed, before carrying on to finish the song. The whole time with you staring at him, thinking about how beautiful he is and how lucky you are to be laid in his arms on a summers afternoon.
Towards the end of the song, Luke opens his eyes, turns onto his side to look at you whilst finishing the song, as if those last few words are meant for you. He stares straight into your eyes, and if you had been in a crowded room, you would have felt like the only two people in the world. You stare into those ocean blue eyes of his, which hold adoration and, you're hoping, love for you, something he's never told you before.
"Darling you're with me, forever and always. Give me shelter, or show me heart. And watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart." He whispers the words, out of beat with the song, which had finished moments before. They're said to you with determination, as if to prove to you that you'll always be together, whether you're actually together or apart, neither of you wanting the latter.
He slowly leans forwards, pressing his lips to yours. They feel soft and gentle, making you wish he never breaks away from you. His lips massage yours lightly and you respond immediately, his hand raises to caress your cheek whilst yours reach to his hair, which you delicately run your fingers through. You're soon both left breathless and have to reluctantly pull apart, remaining close enough that your noses still brush against each others and he then presses his forehead against yours. You open your eyes to see his are still shut, but he has a breath-taking smile spread across his lips, his dimple back on show.
"I love you, Y/N" he whispers to you, his voice quiet yet full of certainty. If your smile could get any bigger than it just did, your cheek muscles aching from stretching so far. He finally said his true feelings to you, he had told you he loved you. He blinks, opening his eyes to look into yours, his smile falling from his face, making you realise you haven't responded yet, something Luke is waiting for.
"I love you too, Luke" You rush out the words, wanting to get them out quickly after having held them in for what feels like an eternity. He lets out a breath of relief at your words, his smile promptly returning to his face. He moves back to your lips, pressing his against yours hurriedly, clearly with excitement at your words, as you're both smiling into the kiss.
You spend the rest of your day laying together, swaying side to side in the hammock from the gentle breeze rolling through the garden. Sharing sweet kisses in the sun, and "I love you's" until the sky turned dark.
