What A Feeling

She was swaying to the rhythm of one of her favorite songs. With her eyes glued to the stage she listened carefully and enjoyed every single chords, every lyric, every beat of the drums.
She was at the show with her best friend but she knew he was right there too. Somewhere in the crowd listening to the same songs, having the same feelings. And even though she didn't want to, she couldn't help but think about how good it'd feel to be standing next to him getting lost in the music together. Yes, he kept playing games with her heart. Yes, he was hot and cold, yes and no. But she still had a soft spot for him, she still was in love with him. So the fact that he was somewhere in the crowd made her want to be held in his arms slowly dancing to a song they both love.

It was about halfway through the show when she heard the first chords of that one song that reminded her of him. That song held so many memories and had so much meaning to it, she couldn't help the tears that were forming in her eyes. My god, this is harder than I expected, she thought as she closed her eyes.

Only a few seconds later she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist, two warm hands covering her own and a cheek pressed to her temple. She breathed in and knew it was him. She didn't question his actions. She didn't want to know how he found her, why he came over and why he was lovingly holding her in his arms. It didn't matter. What mattered was the fact that their heartbeats were perfectly synchronized, their fingers were intertwined and his skin felt so good on hers. She savoured the moment. She forgot where she was, who she came with, who was playing on stage. She only cared about his presence.

He held her tight, like there was no tomorrow. Like this was the only chance they had to hold each other. And oh how he loved it. He didn't want it to end, which is why he didn't let go when the song ended. It did surprise her but again, she didn't question it. She remained wrapped in his embrace waiting for what was to come next. The sounds of the next songs filled the room and without realizing it she leaned further into him and rested her head in his shoulder. He couldn't help but press his lips to the exposed skin on her neck. He felt her shiver and it was when he looked at her and saw the most beautiful smile on her face that he decided he couldn't hold back anymore. He needed to be with her. For as long as humanly possible. He needed her to be his and him to be hers. No more secrets, no more lies, no more staying away from her.

"I'm in love with you." he whispered into her ear.

She thought she was dreaming. She thought she must have passed out from the heat in the room and this was a hallucination. Did he just say he was in love with her? Oblivious to her surroundings she turned around in his arms to look at him. Their eyes met and he nodded to reassure her she heard him right and he meant it. Without asking her permission, fully knowing he wouldn't need it, he pressed his lips to hers.
