Okay, yet another title from my first graders library that bugged me until I let it out. Maybe they should let me out of my little paper dungeon at work?
This one was inspired by saraholic who reads EVERYTHING, loves EVERYTHING, and never fails to give a review.
Strum and Hum
She is a musician. Although she plays a mean guitar, it's not the guitar that makes her a musician.
She strums her fingers over my body. My body hums in response to her fingers. That is what makes her a musician.
She smiles at me and my heart hums too. How did I get so lucky? There are more deserving men for her. Why did she choose me?
Strum and Hum. She says she is here because of my smile. I say it is because of her smile. Together we strum and hum together. We make music that only we can hear, only we can feel. It's beautiful.
She strums and I hum.
She could have chosen anyone. She could have chosen Warrick. They share a love and talent for music. She could play while he sings. I cannot sing. I cannot play. However, with her, I hum and it's good.
She strums and my body hums. It is our own little symphony. Only for us.
Strum and Hum. She thought she wanted Grissom. For such a smart man, he sure can be an idiot. She chased after him and he turned her down! Why?
She strums her fingers along my arm, playing me for all it's worth. I am not complaining. His loss is my gain. She smiles at me now. Someday he may change his mind. I hope to God that he is too late.
She strums and I hum. I would not give her up for the world. I am glad he was too dumb to realize how fantastic she is. If she left me, this music would end. There would be no more music in the world for me.
She strums her fingers over me as I lay in bed beside her. That is all she has to do; Her fingers on my skin. A smile across the room. The meeting of our gazes. She's got me. My body hums to the tune she plays. Only for us.
She strums and I hum. "Sara?"
Dark brown eyes turn to me, so dark they are almost black. It amazes me how beautiful she is. "Yeah?" Fingers continue to strum across my chest as she waits for me to finish what I have just started. I know that it's now or never. If I don't do this, the music will not last.
"I love you." There! I have said it. I have said what my body has been humming all along. Sara's song. Our song. It's beautiful and only for us.
Strum, hum. Sara smiles the smile that has won me over a dozen times already. It's the smile that promises the world to me. She is my world. She is my song.
"I love you."
Her words wash over me in a way her strumming fingers could never do. My heart starts pounding so loudly that I'm afraid my hearing is going.
Heart pounding, body humming, I have to ask. "You do?"
She strums and I hum.
"Yes! Of course I do. I wouldn't be here if I didn't." Sara strums her fingers over my heart. It is humming in time with her fingers. "I never knew I could love like this. I love you Nick Stokes."
She strums and I hum.
Strum and hum. Sara's song. Our beautiful song. Just for us.
I'm going to marry this girl. She can strum the strings of my heart for the rest of my life.
Strum and hum.
That's all she wrote! Well?
