I watched my reflection move through the ripples of water. The atmosphere was undeniably harmonic. I lifted my head up and looked up at the sky. I smelled the fragrant flowers which were surrounding the fountain which stood in the middle of the "Lotus Park". A flock of birds were marking their territory. Their chirps filled the air. I smiled merely looking at them. So happy, so free. Exactly how I was feeling then. I felt his strong grip against my waist. I looked back and saw him smiling a me lovingly. He tightened me up in a cuddle and kissed my cheek softly.
"You enhance the beauty of the nature" he said almost whispering in my ear. I let out a soft giggle. He left a trail of kisses from my cheek to my neck. At that moment I was contended. I wouldn't have traded the feeling for the world. He rested his face on my shoulder. We were both standing there up on the "little bridge" which crossed the small waterway, on the back in a spring four years ago. Everything was just fine then. Nothing troubled us. We were young and free. We had nothing worry about. We believed that we will always have each other whatever the weather was. I ran my fingers through his hair caressingly.
"I love you Jessica Elizabeth Levi, I mean.. I am in love with you. All of you..." he said suddenly. My eyes widened with surprise. It was the first time had ever said that he loves me. I felt my heart tighten with happiness. I felt my whole world bloom like daisy in split second. I felt cherished. Accomplished. Contented. On top of all I felt loved immensely. At that moment I knew nothing could ever come between us. I felt my stomach do flips, my heart beating fast.
I looked back and watched him admiringly. A tear tingling at the corner of my left eye. I stared at his beautiful blue eyes for a series of seconds. I could see the unspoken words from his eyes, I felt the sparks fly as he charmingly smiled with me.
"I am in love with you too, Eric Eugene Witholdren" I meant from the deepest bottom of my soul. People will say that one could hardly know what love is, at such a young age. But with all the feelings that I got I knew that there could be no greater love. People find love in most unexpected places and unexpected circumstances. Love is nothing but destiny's wish.
He pulled me into his lips and kissed me passionately. I could feel his lips dancing along with my mine. Almost making my heart ache with never dying love I held for him. He caressed my cheeks with his finger tips. I ran my fingers through his hair. I could literally hear melodious harmonies from my head as we were kissing so passionately. So lovingly. I felt my feet lift up from the ground and as if I was floating in the air. I felt Eric and I was bonded in a magical string that connects the two of us as one.
I felt the same sensation which overtook me four years ago take over me as he stood their right in front of me after delivering those words.
I still do it sometimes
It kept repeating in my head. My mind was blank. I did not know how to respond. And I'm pretty sure that neither does he. He merely blurted it out unintentionally. He looked away from me and walked towards my window seat and gingerly sat their. Looking outside. Watching kids in the neighborhood play and other people walking their dogs.
I knew that I had to say something. Because we were facing such an awkward silence. I did not like any sort of silence at all. Silence scares me. It reminds me of all my flaws. Just as this silence did.
