In your arms

She dried her tears with her sleeve as she heard the door shut silently behind her. Explanations filled her head as she wondered what she was gonna say to those who caught her crying. She felt dread fill her heart for she did not want to meet anyone, especially not now. She refused to turn around even when she heard the set of shuffling feet settle right behind her. She was stunned with surprised as a finger lifted her tear-stained face bringing her face to face with his baby blue eyes. His eyebrows knitted with concern while his eyes gave her a long searching look before giving her a warm smile and pulling her to her feet. He looked at her intently before firmly planting his lips onto hers and hugging her so tightly that he squeezed all the breath out of her. He stroked her silky and soft dark hazel hair while telling her that everything will be alright. She buried her face into his chest breathing his perfume and his sweaty and spicy aroma. He smells lovely as always. A shiver ran down her spine as his hands descended down to her neck. He bent forward to kiss her neck mumbling wonder how you would taste like but you're sweaty but none-the-less 'bon apetite'. She laughed silently, smiling at that thought. His face lit with happiness as she laughed. He wiped her tear-stained face telling her how beautiful she still looked even after she had cried, her watery eyes, her very red nose and her teary face. He received a sharp smack on his right arm for that remark. He laughed loudly, his eyes full of amusement. She loved hearing his laugh as it was a laughter of pure happiness and love, devotion and carefreeness.

Tugging her along, he walked out of the building towards the beach. He held her hand tight as he strolled in the evening sun towards a rock he had set a surprise dinner date for her. He caught her looking straight at him with a mischievous look upon her face that he grinned back. His hazel brown hair looked golden brown with the evening sun shining down on it. A light breeze ruffled his hair making it look messy and cute both at the same time. She loved him with all her heart and she knew that he did too even before he said, " I love you. You do know that don't you?" he said before kissing her again. He left her breathless as he sprinted ahead. "Catch me if you can," he taunted her poking out his tongue just to annoy her. "You are so dead," she answered laughing as she chased him.

She saw him stop just before a bend and sprinted ahead. He caught her in his open arms, carrying and swinging her around laughing as he did so. She gasped in surprise as he revealed the surprise dinner specially prepared for her. "Oh my, its lovely. Thank you," she said. "You haven't even eaten anything and you said its lovely. What a joke! Wonder whether you get your sense of humour," he teased, planting her down beside him. Looking at his watch he saw it was half past six. He put his ear to her stomach and said aloud, " Is your stomach hungry for we are not eating till the sun has set in the evening sky casting the sky with stunning shades of purple, pink, orange and red,". "So philosophical! Writing poetry?" he heard her taunt from his left. As he turned his head, he shouted in surprise for ice cold water was splashed onto his face. Drying his face, he saw that she was holding his water bottle and he wrestled it from her till it was within his hands. A smug satisfaction had settled on his face that she climbed onto his laps and snatched the water bottle out of his hands before he was well aware of it. Hugging the bottle she looked up towards his face. He poked his tongue out, pouting like a five-year-old. She giggled as he did that. Taking her camera she snapped a picture of his facial expression. She laughed at his expression of shock and horror that she had caught a picture of him sulking like a five-year-old. He wound his arms around her, holding her in his arms. She smiled widely from ear-to-ear for this was what she had missed most, he holding her in his arms. "I love it when you do this, when you hold me in your arms," she whispered. "I'll hold on to you forever," was he soft and silent reply. " I love you," she said looking towards the setting horizon. "I know you do. I love you too," he said kissing her hair before pulling her close to him as they both sat in the evening sun enjoying each others company.
