Alyson walked quickly to the park on the outskirts of the city; a place where few people went. Aaron sat in utter silence on the park bench, staring at the clouds and dreaming of Alyson. He smiled gently and closed his eyes; listening to the sounds of birds, animals, and life. A soft breeze made Alyson's hair dance around as she spotted Aaron sitting on the bench with his eyes shut, and gaze towards the heavens. Alyson smiled and picked up her pace over to Aaron. He opened his eyes and saw nothing but pure beauty, pure innocence walking towards him. He stood up and opened his arms for Alyson to fall into. They hugged endlessly in a tight embrace; unafraid of others who were watching with secret eyes. Aaron lifted Alyson's chin up to look into his eyes, then he planted a kiss on her soft and waiting lips. The kiss was perfect. Eyes closed, wind gently blowing, hair dancing, skirt flowing; it was perfect. Alyson never wanted it to end and she pushed for more, Aaron gave her more. He never felt as full as he did with Alyson in his arms and with Alyson's lips on his. Nothing could change this moment. Nothing could change love. Alyson finally backed away and looked into Aaron's bright green eyes, so beautiful, so untouchable. Alyson smiled gently then reached up and brushed her finger along his cheek. Aaron took her hand in his, and gently kissed it. Alyson smiled lovingly then led Aaron to the park bench so they could both sit down.
"Why is it that you brought me here?" Alyson asked as she held on tightly to Aarons hand.
"I had to see you again."
"But you see me everyday"
"Not enough" Aaron said as his eyes held much confusion. Alyson sensed this and lightly kissed his lips again. Aaron didn't smile, but Alyson knew he cared for her. "My brother said he would kill me if I didn't kill you." Alyson's smile faded. She knew something like this would happen. She looked deeply into Aarons eyes then planted another kiss on his soft lips. Perfect lips. Her smile once again showed, and so did Aarons.
"I care not what this world thinks of us. I only care what you think of me." Alyson spoke to Aaron.
"I too care not, but my family unfortunately does."
"They don't know me, and mine you. Why must this hate run so deep between our families, neither of us understand why we are fighting? Brawls happen all the time and our families are dying. Why then, must you and I be involved? I will take a chance with you; I will give up my family's name and become a Caprice if you should so ask it of me." Alyson said as she stared at Aaron. Aaron was looking away now, at the ground. The wind blew some sand up in the air and Aaron watched it get carried away. Alyson ran her forefinger along Aaron's jaw line. He looked up at her, into her deep blue eyes. He knew what his heart desired for him to do, but he could not take a chance of getting her hurt. Her only enemy was him.
"Meet me at the church tonight, and there you shall be wed to me." Aaron said as he softly kissed Alyson. The soft kiss grew passionate; they needed each other to survive. Alyson let a tear trickle down her cheek and Aaron brushed it away with his palm. Alyson stood up with a genuine smile, staring at Aaron who was still seated on the bench holding her hand. Alyson blew him a kiss and turned to walk away.
"I'll see you tonight" Alyson said at last, turning around to glance at Aaron once more. She walked backwards a few steps still gazing into his eyes from a distance, and then turned around and disappeared among some trees. Aaron watched until she was out of sight, but not out of mind. He smiled at the thought of marrying her, but he knew what his brother threatened of him. He didn't care; he would die for her if he needed to. He loved her with everything he possessed. He loved her with all of his heart. Tonight was the night he'd been waiting for all of his life. Tonight would be perfect, or so he hoped.
