Watching The Stars

The notes flowing from the flute play a soft melody, beating with the soul rhythm of the twinkling stars. The voice of the instrument hummed through me like the blood in my veins, only softer. Thick grass pressed against my back as I lay at the face of the small hill, peacefully playing my flute and studying the hypnotizing, somewhat magical properties of the shining stars, illuminating the night sky like little pieces of broken mirror with the moonlight reflecting off of them. I let the notes of the instrument linger in the air for a moment before lifting the flute from my mouth. I could feel the small weight of it against my chest and stomach. Clouds parted and the bright light of the moon filtered into the shimmering night sky. I could hear the crickets singing their secret songs in and around the trees to my left and right. What glorious night it is.

I hear footsteps behind me, but I do not turn and look, because I already know that it's you.
"Hey, Hun." I hear you say. Ah, I guess I was right.
"Mmm." Is all I say in return. You sit on your knees next to my motionless body. "Whacha doin'?" You ask in a whisper.
"Just practicing my flute," I answer, "and watching the stars." You smile and lean over me, your long hair brushing against the side of my face in a shimmering curtain. Your blue eyes glitter just as much as the stars.
"My little star gazer..." You say as you kiss me softly on the mouth. You then break the kiss but don't pull your face away, and our foreheads are still pressed against each other. Your carefree expression fades into a more serious one. "Cassy?" You say in a small voice. I let a moment pass before answering.
"Yes?" I search your eyes with mine only to find that they glitter like stars even when you are being completely serious. I see your chest rise and fall as you take a deep breath, and I see all possible tension releasing from your body, your muscles slightly slacking with the relaxation.
"I love you." You whisper. Isn't it odd how only three words can send shivers cascading through my body, making my blood pound through my temples like a drumbeat? My breath quickens but I try not to let it show.
"I love you, too." I reply. I know you are trying to hide it as well, but I know that your breath has quickened because I can feel it on my face, and the tension has returned to your muscles- suddenly, you don't seem so relaxed. You kiss me again, harder this time, and I can see that you are struggling to control yourself. "Calm down..." I say when you pull away, for the sake of the both of us. I don't want this leading to anything we might regret. The corners of your mouth turn upwards in a sensual smile, and you lay down next to me, your arms hanging loosely around my neck... watching the stars.

    I really enjoyed how you described the tensing and relaxing of the muscles; it made such a short beautiful moment so much more enjoyable. Good luck!
    Oh, and I wasn't sure which option you had chosen, so if you could let me know...

    Oh my gosh this is awesome! It was so sweet and descriptive. It was also written beautifully. I've read it over and over about a million times before I realized I never commented. Absolutely positively great!

    Ohh I loved this...x.x Absolutely adored it.

    You put so much passion, and so much love in those words. This is an amazing peice.

    The short-ness of this write makes it as amazing as it is. I think that if it were any longer that I'd might loose intrest. But they was you wrote it was perfect.

    This is, by far, my favorite by you, Rella.

    I loved it && you.

    This is going to my bookmarks.
