Simple Gestures [Part Two]

A look in her eyes.

He looks into the sparkling brown orbs every single day; they remind him of pools of melted chocolate. He sees determination and happiness - a certain sparkle that's only present when she's with him. He sees love; he sees joy; he sees their past, present, and future all playing on a loop in beautiful technicolor. Those eyes stabilize the shaky grounds he's on, and they fill him with a warmth that he never knew could come from something so simple. One look into those beautiful eyes and he knows that everything will be okay.

He stares into those eyes on a morning then smiles when she kisses him before dragging herself out of bed to start the day. He closes his eyes and sees her eyes and suddenly, he feels stable.

A touch of her hand.

One touch from her and everything is either calm or all his senses are on high alert. Her touch calms him when things are rough and he's struggling, drowning and gasping. She touches his shoulder or arm or chest or back and he calms. Her small hand curls around his larger one and he suddenly feels strong, like he can conquer anything while she's holding his hand. The smallest touches remind him that even seventeen years later, she still loves him, she still supports him, he's still everything to her. Those hands have held his cheeks while thumbs have wiped his tears, and those hands have held his face while she pressed her lips against his for a kiss. Her fingertips ghost over his face at times to comfort him, her fingertips dance across his chest during the sweetest cuddles or after the night's of inexplicable passion. That simple touch - it's everything to him.

And then there's her kiss.

Every single day. Every single morning before she leaves their marital bed, he gets the beautiful opportunity to share a kiss with her...a beautiful, magical, soul stirring kiss. Her lips are so soft and warm and inviting; he finds it hard to stop kissing her even when he knows he has to. Her kiss makes his heart beat faster and if he's standing, it makes his knees go weak. He feels all the love from just her kiss - seventeen years of just love and longing and respect; all in her beautiful, magical kiss.

And then...'I love you'

'I tell her I love her everyday...' was what he told all their friends, and it was true. When fans have met him in the street and said they love his wife, he could never stop himself from smiling as he responded with 'Me too'; because it was true, he loved his wife with everything in him and he made sure she knew it everyday. No matter what was going on around them - whether they were having a mini war of words with each other or hadn't had a chance to speak all day - they never went without saying 'I love you'. Three words, eight letters, one meaning; he uttered those words to her without missing a beat. It always served as a reminder that despite what was going on around them and no matter who or what tried to bring them down, their love remained and they would never be broken apart.

It's past one in the morning and he's finally getting to bed after being on set for sixteen hours. He looks to the side of him; she's sleeping so peacefully while holding his pillow. He lays down and curls his strong arm around her waist, places a delicate kiss to her temple and whispers ever so softly in her ear;

"I love you, baby."

He swears she smiles in her sleep and snuggles against him. He kisses her head again and closes his eyes.

Seventeen years later - touches, kisses, looks, and an 'I love you'.

The little things.

The simplest gestures that make his heart skip beats and remind him that despite the years, his wife still loves him with all her heart.
