It was late in August, the summer heat had alleviated and the sun was dancing warm and light on their skin. On a day like this, it would be a crime to be cooped up in a big dark house. Grace had insisted they take a walk. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and although Eli was not one for taking strolls and walks and watching sunsets, he never complained when he was with her. He never had a reason, too.
It was amazing, the things she had taught him about appreciation for simpler things in life. About the beauty of poetry. Literature. Art. The affects they had on one another could clearly be seen. Eli had stopped smoking marijuana, he had a steady job, he was going to school again. And Grace.... Eli had taught her so much more about the real world than any bookcould have. He taught her to be comfortable with herself. He taught her to laugh; how to have fun. And they were both learning first hand about what it was like to be in love. The new emotions scared them both.
Eli leaned against the large oak tree, bark pressing against the black long sleeve shirt he wore. A soft breeze blew wisps of hair in front of Grace's face. He could smell her in the air around him. She sat up against him, her back against his stomach. His hands wrapped around her, resting on her belly. Her hands on top of his.
He brought his lips to her ear, "Grace..." he whispered warm breath caressing her skin. He heard her mutter, could tell her eyes were closed. "Yeah?" "I..." he hesitated. Grace felt him shift underneath her. Eli could feel his palms start to sweat, and Grace stroked his hands with her fingers. Urging him to continue. Eli licked his lips and tried again. "I...."
Grace turned her head and faced him. Eli brought a hand to cup her cheek, stared intently into her encouraging hazel eyes. Watched her face wrinkle in concern, fear flashbefore the windows to her soul. "I love you,"
He drew back instinctively to gauge her reaction. Grace's heart began to race. His voice ringing in her ears. She smiled. "I love you, too." she replied, never breaking their gaze. Eli's soft lips descended on hers. Pillowy kisses. Long and Slow.
She settled back into him when the kiss was over. Another soft breeze blew. They both shut their eyes. Listened to the world around them.
"I never thought I could feel so low, oh darkness I feel like letting go..." Eli sang quietly to her. His voice was masculine and melodic. "If all of the strength and all of the courage, come and lift me from this place, I know I could love you much better than this...."
Grace's body tingled with a kind of happiness, that made her feel ALIVE. Grace let herself go into the special world of his sweet serenade. Basking in the new revelations, new truths. He loved her. She loved him. It was comfortable and perfect. "Full of grace, full of grace....my love."
