Shallows... in the mood for LOVE

She could feel the butterfly flutter in the pits of her stomach. The nervousness she felt made her nauseous. But despite it all she was giddy from the anticipation of the moment. The thought of his touch on her skin sent shivers down her spine. She couldn’t wait to turn around, and come face-to-face with him. The only thing being that she just hadn’t met him yet!

She was just an ordinary girl living in a modern world, wondering if she was happy in this modern world, or if she wanted something more, something that she was searching for. As she stood there on that stage, staring at an invisible audience, all these thoughts raced through her head. She stood there, with baited breath, waiting for him.

As he slowly walked on to the stage, he saw her silhouette against the stage light. He couldn’t wait to turn her round and come face to face with the beauty that stood on that stage. He wondered if this would be the start of something new, or would it just fizzle out. His heart was racing at over 100 miles an hour, making him wonder if she felt the same way too. He took a deep breath and walked towards her, just as the music began to play. 

She heard his footsteps against the wooden stage, and there was spotlight, not too bright so as to blind, not too low that they couldn’t see each other. It was just right, perfectly soft, accentuating feature. As he stood behind her, she could feel his warm breath over her shoulder, she felt his touch as he gently caressed her shoulder, spinning her around, bringing her face-to-face for the very first time, almost taking their breath away. 

For moment they were both enamoured by the other, just standing there staring at each other. He put his hands on her waist and brought her close, but not too close to make It awkward or uncomfortable for her. For a moment they were in such close proximity with each other that they breathed the same air, almost breathing in unison. She wondered if sparks would fly cause the heat he radiated almost made her feel like she would combust at any moment. And he actually felt the same way too!

As their face came in close proximity, she could almost feel his breath on her face leaving her all flushed, making her go weak in the knees. And they had a moment. She stood still with bathed breath waiting for him to make the move. He looked at her, and could feel that pull towards her. He was trying hard to fight that feeling, holding back, but like a magnet she kept drawing him to her, like a moth to the flame, an affect no other woman had had on him.

Just when she thought he would, she had to do a trust fall, and strangely she trusted that he would be there to catch her when she fall. And he did, with ease, with finesse, with class, once again coming face to face, once again feeling the heat of the moment, once again fighting the temptation of wanting to give in.

She felt he was pulling her deeper and deeper in the moment, deeper and deeper into him. She was far from the shallows, far from the safety of the shore, and the truth be told she didn’t care, she didn’t mind risking it all. She was swimming, floating, and there was no touching the ground. 

He kept feeling like he could drown in the limpid of pools of her eyes, happy to be there. They were both in the moment, living in it, swimming in it. Crashing through the surface where no one could hurt them, cause they were far from the shallows. 

He effortlessly lifted her, guided her, leading her across the stage, twirling around the stage with grace. Every moment felt elegant, every moment graceful, every moment went on and on, with them never wanting it to end. They felt like they were in a dream, in a fairy tale, never wanting to wake up from it and put an end to it. They wanted to live in that moment, just the two of them and no one else.

But then the moment had to end, cause they had to come back to reality. And just as the music began to fade away, he held her face, cupping it with both his palm, he couldn’t hold back any longer, he was ready to risk it all. He pulled her close, and  kissed her, a little hesitant if she would return his affection. To his delight, she kissed back, literally melting into him, spontaneously combusting in the heat of the moment, and like all the moment they had felt, they didn’t want it to end.

But when they finally came around, returning down to earth from soaring high up in the sky. As they parted, they embraced one final time, with their hearts racing from the events from few moments ago! They couldn’t control themselves, the way they felt for each other. They knew they needed to get to know each other more, they desired each other’s company, they had tasted blood and now they wanted more. So as they walked away they knew they had to meet each other again, had to get to know each other. Cause just that moment was not enough, cause they were far from the shallows now!
