Ghost town

chapter twenty: love is the colour blue

Yvonne Meyers stared at Steven Tarintino sleeping besides her on the grass. It had been a fine Wednesday evening  and they had decided to go for a mini hike. When they reached the end of the hiking trail, they caught glimpse of the sunset.

She was convinced the only thing more beautiful than the sunset was Steven's eyes. When they were sad or troubled,  they turned a riveting dark blue. When they were excited, they turned into a breathtaking icy blue that seemed to dance across his face. When he looked at her , she saw the simple hue of blue that had somehow opened the stairway to her heart.

In those blue eyes , Yvie found love. For her, love was and would always be the colour blue. In those blue  eyes she confided her hopes and dreams, her goals and aspirations.

They have gone on dates every single evening ever since their first date. Steven had not yet asked her to be his girlfriend,  but she was not bothered. She never really liked titles.

However, whenever she kissed him, she opened her eyes and stared at his closed eyelids. She imagined how his eyes would look. How they would illuminate and dilate. She saw blue sparks flying around and shimmering above her.

As the cold air of the night finally kicked in, Steven awoke. He looked so adorable when he was waking up from a slumber.

He smiled at her and kissed her on the cheeks before pulling himself and her up.  He dusted himself off before grabbing Yvie's hand and leading her down the hiking trail.

They whole time they were walking, all Yvie could think about was how lucky she was to fall for someone like Steven. He was truly perfect. She had never fell for anyone, nor loved anyone, but she knew that what she was feeling was raw and beautiful.

When they reached the beginning of the trial, Steven turned to her and smiled. She felt little pockets of bubbles popping in her stomach. He took her face in his palms and pulled her closer. He placed a feather of a kiss on her forehead and placed his head in her neck. Yvie wrapped her arms around him and looked up to the stars. They seemed more alive that night and brightened the love she was feeling that night. She closed her eyes and basked in the glory of the moon.

It was some time before Steven removed his head from her neck. He looked and with earnestly as asked in such a velvety soft voice that nearly made Yvie sigh, "I was wondering if we could make this official? I really like you, a lot. I-I... Okay, I want you to be mine. My girlfriend. My best friend. My everything."

Yvie looked at him and found his nervous state adorable. She looked at him , smiled and said, "You did not even have to ask that question. I thought it was quite clear. I am and was yours since I met you."

Her response caused Steven to laugh and hug her tightly. Everything she said was the truth. The day she met, he was hers and she was his. It would be that way for as long as it lasted.

Her brain kept on reminding her that she only had 3 more months in the ghost town. She was still not sure if she was staying or not. 

However, that was an issue for later on and not the present. She just wanted to live in the moment with Steven.
