Midnight Man

The Night Sky

Amy's pov
I was in the kitchen helping mum make dinner, she was doing better. She was making progress.

I was chopping up sweet potatoes, mum was washing the carrots.

The phone started ringing.
"I'll get it!"
Mum said sucking some food off her thumb when she walked over to the phone.
"Hello?"
"Uh this is her mother yes..."
"Who are you?"
"Oh I'll get her for you!"
"It's for you! And it's a boy called John!"
Mum said smiling

My eyes widened.
"Uh-um hello?"
"Amy! Is that you?"
"Yes..."
"It's me john!"
"Haha yeah I know!"
"Well get ready I'm taking you out!"
"What?! John I can't get re-"
"Come on Amy live a little!"
My mum yelled.
"Yeah Amy! Listen to your mother!"
I rolled my eyes and I knew he could tell.
"What time?"
"In.... 30 mi-"
Before he could finish I hung up and threw my apron on the ground running to my room.

I opened my closet sorting through all my clothes very quickly.

I found the perfect dress.
I slipped it on and did my hair and make up.

I stepped in the air I sprayed my perfume.
I put my white heels on, and walked out to the lounge room.

"Wow! Amy you look great!"
Mother said.

Lucy walked out.
"Yeah you look... Great!"
I smiled and twirled around.
"Thanks!"
I couldn't let Lucy or mum see John so I walked out.

After a coupple of minutes, a car pulled outside.

It was a cab which surprised me.
I walked over and John greeted me.
"Wow love... You look beautiful!"
He kissed my cheek.

"Not to bad yourself Lennon."
He smirked and opened the door for me.
"Why thank you kind sir."
He smiled.

"So why the cab?"
He smiled and held his neck.
"I'm not a good driver..."
"Oh really why?"
"I have bad eye sight..."
"Me to!"
He smiled.
"Really?"
"Yeah! But I never wear my glasses in public."
John smiled and held my hand, looking into my eyes.
"Well you can wear then Infront of me."
He lifted my chin up with his Index finger slowly kissing me slowly.

I smiled into it.
"Well we're here!"
I looked out the window.
"Really? Your taking me to the Beach.... At 9pm at night?"
He smiled taking my hand and leading me out.
I took a deep breath in. I loved the smell of the beach. I heard the waves, and I looked out to the stars.

"It's beautiful!"
I said.
"It sure is."
I smiled.

My hair was blowing in the wind.
John took my hand and we ran Onto the sand.
My heels sunk into the sand, causing me to fall.
But John fell with me. We both tumbled down in the sand.

John held me close so I didn't get hurt, but honestly it was so fun!
I started laughing.

John had sand all over him.
Which made me laugh harder.

I brought my hand up to his face holding it, he brought his eyes up to mine.

It was only me and him, the sound of the waves crashing up against the shore echoed through my ears.

"Your beautiful."
John whispered.

I caresd his face slowly.
"Your beautiful."
I replied.

He smiled, and pulled me into his chest.
We both layed down on the sand looking up at the night sky.

"Y'know I've never met a girl like you."
His english accent ringing through my ears.

"How is that."
I said facing him.
He placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Your so strong, and beautiful."
"Not like any other bird I've met."
I smiled.

"I'm not."
"What do you mean."

"I don't have the best childhood story..."
John held me closer to him.

"Neither do I love, but I try my hardest not to let it get the best of me."

"What happened?"
I heard John take a deep breath in.

I rubbed his back reassuring him.
"When I was a kid, my parents made me choose between them... I was only a kid. Long story short I choose my dad. But then my mother ran out and I changed my mind. She left and me mothers sister my aunt Mimi's took me in with uncle George. My dad was never around. After time uncle George died. And when I return connected with mum.... She uh- she d-died."
I felt so horribly sad for him.

"I understand how it feels John. When I was five my father died in a car crash. My mother never really stayed around the house. She slept around. Leaving me to look after the house and my baby sister Lucy. She used to hurt me sometimes. But she's getting back into track. I felt like the world was on my shoulders."

John kissed my cheek his hang lingering on my cheek afterwards.
"I'm not beautiful."
I said looking away from John's enchanting eyes.

He brought his hand back to my face bringing my face back to his.
"Amy you are the most beautiful girl I've ever let me eyes on."
I smiled but still didn't look at him.
"Hey look at me."
I brought my eyes to his almost as if I was falling for him again.
"Our mental scar's make us who we are today, remember that."
I nodded, but I couldn't get my eyes off him now.
"Thank you John, I think your the only man to stick with me and tell me that I'm beautiful. Thank you."
he smiled.
"No thank you, I don't think ive told many people about my past. But around you I feel like I can tell you anything."
This time I held his cheek.
"And you can."
He smiled, and looked down to my lips then back to me.

I kissed him slowly and passionately, he lifted my chin up and held onto my hips pushing me down onto the sand so he was on top of me.

"I'm not fucking you on a beach John..."
He got up and chuckled.
"I'll do it anywhere else though..."
He smiled.
"Well then...."
I rolled my eyes and kissed him again.

"Come on then?"
I got up and dragged him to the water.

"I thought we were going to... Y'know."
I smiled at his comment.

"You'll have to catch me first."
I started running along the water.

He ran after me.
I stopped and splashed him.
"You'll pay for that."
He splashed me and I got the salty taste of sea water.

I coughed it up.
"Oh Amy are you ok?"
He ran to me.
I acted sad but then tripped him sending him into the water.

I laughed my ass off.
John was sulking.

I gave him my arm.
"I'm s-"
Before I could finish he grabbed my arm and pulled me into the water with him.

I instantly felt the cold sea water all over.

We both got up sitting in the water.
-
I raced to the car John behind me.
We hoped in.

The air conditioner making us basically freeze.

We got back to John's hotel.
"Where are the rest of the lads?"
I asked.
John had put his jacket over my shoulders so I took it off.
"Probably at some bar getting wasted."
I laughed.
"So what now?"
He asked.
"Can I shower?"
He nodded.
I walked off but then turned back around.
"Hey John?!"
He came back over to me.
"Yeah?"
"Wanna join me?"
He smiled and walked towards me.
"I was hoping you'd ask me."
I smiled back and whipped him with a towel he gave me.

He laughed and followed me into the bathroom.
