"It's worth it, just to see that smile on your face, I just used a couple strings of white Christmas tree lights, a battery pack, and bingo."
Jessica's grin widened and she pushed back all thoughts of Reese leaving out of her head.
"I wanted us to do something special before I left, something we could remember, forever."
"Every minute I spend with you is memorable," Said Jessica holding his hand in hers.
"Here," said Reese pulling out a chair for her.
Jessica sat down and all she could think about was how her heart wanted to burst with love.
She watched as he pulled out a bottle and popping the cork he poured two glasses.
"Don't worry, it's only sparkling cider," he said with a smile. Oh how she loved that smile.
He ran shaky fingers through his hair and she thought that she had never seen him look so cute, and vulnerable.
Suddenly she wasn't nervous anymore because she some how felt she was exactly where she was supposed to be.
Reese finished his sandwich and looked across the table at Jess. Every time he looked at her she was smiling and she looked so absolutely happy. He watched as she took a sip of her cider and caught him staring.
"What?" she asked smiling that beautiful smile he loved so much.
"I was just wondering if you would like to dance?"
"There's no music."
Reese pulled out the portable radio and saw her face light up.
Reese turned the radio on and watched puzzled as she took off her shoes.
"I want to dance down on the beach," she said simply.
Reese simply laughed and followed her. He sat the radio down and a soft song started to play as Jessica wrapped her arms around his neck.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing
Jessica rested her head on Reese's chest and she could hear his heart beat and it was like their hearts were beating together as they slowly moved to the music.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd Old Mr. Webster could never define What's being said between your heart and mine
Reese basked in the smell of her hair and the softness of her skin and it was like they were the only people in the world and nothing else existed but the stars and the moon.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all
Jessica didn't even know they had stopped moving until the song ended, bust she pretended like it hadn't, because if the song never stopped then the night would never end and he wouldn't leave her. She pulled back slightly so she was looking into his eyes and she couldn't stop a tear from escaping from the corner of her eye. She smiled as Reese's thumb brushed it away. "I was wondering," he said in a whisper, "if I could kiss you?"
Jessica answered with her lips pressed against his. She felt light headed and as if she was walking on air, she silently begged for that one moment to last forever, as the waves crashed silently in the background and the stars twinkled above, everything was perfect.
When the most perfect moment of her life was over it became even more perfect as Reese held her in his arms.
