Lovely Nights

The air was bitter for a summer night, but it felt nice after dancing three hours in a big puffy silk dress. The cold stone of my balcony felt nice under my sweating hands. I breathed in deeply cooling my nerves. Tomorrow was a big day, well THE big day; my wedding, but I wanted to see him one last time before trying to sleep... Where is he? Maybe i was just impatient, but was he taking longer then normal?! Or maybe he isn't coming tonight, it is his last night to be single... But a rustle from the forest around my balcony signaled his appearance, my husband-to-be in less then a day.1

"Oh, Riley!" I shrieked, i missed him even for the twenty minutes he was gone.2

" Shhh!!! I am here now, love." A deep familiar voice sounded from the darkness.3

"What took you so long?"4

"I stopped to get you a gift." His voice rang with a small laughter.5

"Really? A gift?" I knew he would bring a gift, he did every night.6

"Yes, and I think you will love it." The end of the rustle sounded his entry into the light from my room. I closed my eyes.7

"Really? You sure?" I smiled, listening to his hands and feet climb up to me. Knowing he was going to be by me soon made me shiver a little.8

"Yea, I'm sure. 100% positive." He breathed into my neck, the warmth and closeness of him sent another shiver down me, "You're cold, here," he placed his jacket onto my shoulders,"I don't need my wife to be sick on the honeymoon."9

He made me smile again, reaching up i found his face with my hand. My hand on his smooth skin became my median as i turned closely to face him, "That would be bad."10

I opened my eyes, he's beauty took my breath away, as always.
