Ice And Fire

Sunrises and tiaras and lovers

I was woken up by Lucas in the early morning.

I looked out of the window and honestly it wasn't even morning yet. It was still dark and only a bit lighter than night sky and I was annoyed. I was having the best sleep of my life.

"Hey! It's not morning yet." I mumbled the words under the blanket and threw a pillow on him.
In time he caught it and set it aside properly and replied "It is. Come on sleepyhead. We've got to go. It will take us about two hours to reach home."

I ignored whatever he said and went back to sleep and he came closer looked for second and then held my both of my wrists and pulled me to up to sit straight.

"That wasn't the kind of 'you waking me up' kind of situation I was expecting." I complained in  a sleepy voice and my eyes still trying to cope up with the dim lights.

"I know baby, you are really one fancy creature. Maybe next time? I promise, but now we've got to hurry up. Also, I don't want us to miss the sunrise." he said as he kissed me on my forehead and started keeping things in orderand sorting the things and cleaning up.

I somehow stood up and felt dizzy.  So I gulped in a lot of water and started helping him to put things in order and cleaning up.

In between when he wasn't looking and wasn't aware that I was staring at him, I secretly looked at him and he looked beautiful, charming and mature as ever.

In four years a lot has changed but not the love between us.
Knowing the thing that he is not into giving surprises very much, he still managed to pull out a special day for us.

I guess I've never fonded him so hard. I have always admires him a lot and now my love for him is beyond the stars.

I feel blessed whenever I look at him. There is a little pain in my heart because I know we are separating ways. Meet once a year and talk less often and it somewhat scares me.
It's such a deep feeling that I can't even explain.

He turned towards me and caught me staring at him.

He came and stood in front of me and said "Good it's me otherwise, you staring some other guy, I would have been a little mad at you and a little jealous." and he smiled and winked at me at me.

At that moment I was just so embarrassed. I just stood there and he  smiled back and nodded.

Anyways we hurried and packed up things and drove off the place. We bid our goodbyes to the cabin,  gave some water to the roses together.

It was still very dark everywhere and in the woods it looks very eerie. I wouldn't be shocked if at any moment a lady wearing white with long black hair jumps out in front of our car.

"Now where to?" I asked him reluctantly. We've not spoke a word since we started our drive. But this silence wasnt awkward it was rather beautiful.
"To see the sunset. Believe me it's damn beautiful. Just like you." he replied and looked towards me as he handled the steering wheel.

"Oh shut up. Look forward and drive. I don't want you to hit a lady in white." I jokingly shouted at him and rolled down the window.
He laughed back and concentrated on driving

I let my head rest on my arms letting my face placed on the window and hitting the fresh morning breeze and woody dew. I closed my eyes and let myself drift into another dimension.

Soon we arrived at some kind of high top and we walked towards the place from where we were going to see the sunset.

We held hands and walked across the tall trees. Rows of trees, way too many.
We reached just on time, the sun was just rising and he held me by my waist tightly.
He captured the moment in his phone and then suddenly he pulled out a Polaroid camera.
