At nightfall, the stars were shimmering the sky with glows of lights while the tide remained calm like the two heart beats on the boat above
While a breeze ran through Lilly's hair, she took in several long deep breaths; seeing that life wasn't all sad and lonely; but indeed full of mystery and hope. Then as John's arms wrapped around her waist as he too took in the full array of both the stars and moon; realizing that he had finally had found someone that was right for him.
Sure it had taken quite awhile, being together right here on this boat said something about how they had both felt about each other. Clearly only their hearts spoke; not their own voices. While breaths disappeared into the air; Lilly then felt his lips kissing love into her porcelain skin as it was the sucked down into her beating heart.
Then he stopped as they continued breathing together; as the stars began to shin even more brilliantly in the night sky. Without another word, John then led her into the middle of the boat as music began to play softly. As the two of them danced in the moonlight; Lilly had never seen such a romantic side to him; but enjoyed the fact that John was taking their newly found relationship at a slow pace.
While swaying to the music, Lilly felt extremely lucky to have fallen in love with someone that truly care both emotionally and physically about her. As she danced with John, the roses of love began to set its bloom; filling both of their hearts up with love.
As the CD then stopped; their lips met consuming each other's taste; before tiny droplets of rain fell out of the clouds from up above. Not wanting to be soaked; John the steered the boat back to the dock before helping Lilly off of the boat. Upon taking his hand; as they made their way to the hotel.
Once in the bedroom; John then lowered the lovely blonde onto the bed as he made his ascent down her body; showing them with his kisses. This time; he wasn't going to let his own shyness peak through as his fingers soon discarded her bikini top.
Lilly was in absolute pleasure; feeling the heightened sense of both sexiness and passion sweeping into her body; like a hurricane. Once he had slid into of her; she moaned while their kiss deepened. No one had even made her feel quite like this before, as John continued his motions enjoying the erotic sense that it was giving him.
However he then grinded his hips, harder against hers causing Lilly to become extremely vocal. Her breathing hardened; while being saturated with John's lips. As he began to push his girl over the edge; she gasped over and over feeling more pleasure erupting. This only made the speed increase so much so that they both ended up coming together; while they flew into a wonderland filled with pleasure.
Upon open up her eyes, Lilly's breath was still very fast "John", managing to speak his name.
However John was panting due to the extreme pleasure that he had just received; but knew this was someone that he hadn't enjoyed for quite some time. Upon turning over, his lips then kissed the side of her cheek.
"You are beautiful" his voice speaking in a whisper, while resting his head down on her chest. As John heard the rapid beatings from Lilly's heart; he was thankful everyday that she was alive and with him." Heart's racing"
Lilly's lips curled into a slight smile" What's it sound like" a questing she had often wondered about, if in fact her own heart had been damaged from all the pain that it had suffered throughout her whole life.
However that question wasn't revealed, as John kept on listening to it. In a way that sound reminded him of life and love; especially when it was beating from inside of Lilly's chest. Perhaps he too was seeing things a different way; after they both had started to date.
Rolling back onto his side of the bed, John tenderly moved a piece of hair away from her eyes.
"Did it sound broken" she asked; if afraid somehow that it was.
His smile was soft "No" peering up into two blue orbs" Sounds like you" planting another kiss on her chest.
Lilly's eyes were now sleepy; but knew she could share things with him; and know that John would never tell another soul about it. Before she had fallen asleep that night, she heard him whisper something that made her heart do a triple beat.
"I love you, Lil" was the words that were no longer meant to scare her. In fact Lilly felt the same way but just couldn't get it out of her mouth; since she had just fallen asleep.
However John remained awake, watching Lilly's chest rising and falling; in wonder to what she was dreaming about. For the longest time he had being asking himself that very same question but maybe those were some secrets that Lilly would never tell.
Very slowly he then joined her as well in dreamland, while continuing to hold her closer to him.
By morning the warm sunshine had peeked through the blinds; awaking Lilly. Feeling both refreshed and content, she glanced over at John whom was still very much in a deep sleep. After giving him a kiss; Lilly dressed and headed down to the shore to take a short stroll.
The cool breeze, gave Lilly a sense of calmness and hope that her present day life wasn't all filled with sadness but one that now included romance. Being with John was indeed the right choice; but her own happiness came within her own self.
Walking along the shore, she then felt the coolness of the water splashing on her bare feet. Lilly then looked across the horizon; as a deep breath raced into her lungs filling them with crisp ocean air. She felt alive, and content; perhaps the beach was probably the only place that had kept her feeling relaxed.
Remembering her now sleeping man back at the hotel, Lilly went back only to discover that John was still in fact very much asleep; before she then began to kiss him softly.
To her surprise, John remained sleeping as Lilly stood outside on the balcony sipping some of her coffee. Having a vacation away from Philly was well in need; but this was a place that she never thought had existed. Anyways the aching to just lie down on a beach chair and take in the warm Miami sunshine was starting to flow through her veins.
About an hour later, Lilly then saw him decked out in what looked like Golf apparel" Didn't know that you played"?
"Every once and awhile" knowing that this wasn't something that she'd would enjoy" I could teach you, if you want".
With a sly smile, Lilly moved several strands of hair away from her face" You didn't even listen to me when I tried to teach you how to use a computer, think Vera's probably pissed at you".
" He'll get over it" chuckled John" How about I hit the courses and you join me later" before seeing her taking a golf ball in her hands" How about now, or is your friend going to join you"?
Somehow the golf course wasn't that far from the hotel, as John tried his best to teach Lilly how to play. Of course she wasn't as good, but this wasn't her kind of sport. When another group of men his age joined him, Lilly then decided to head down to the beach.
Normally she never thought once about her body, but then there were those men that would stare at her. She ignored the comments, knowing that she wasn't the most beautiful one out there; but was glad that her own body was healthy. Lilly wasn't too thin but slender; but perhaps people had noticed just how white her skin was.
She didn't care; this was who she was but still felt a tiny bit insecure about the scar from the shooting. Just as Lilly was about to cover up, John then took the towel away" Doesn't make you damaged Lil" knowing her own insecure" I was shot also, but doesn't change who we are".
"Changes everything" Lilly mumbled she felt his hand resting on the scar.
John could understand, given the circumstances of her own childhood" We're now here together" taking her hand" I don't even notice it anymore, still very beautiful to me" his eyes now looking straight into hers.
Upon giving her a kiss, John then took her hand as the two went into the water together. Somehow when a wave had splashed Lilly, she then let out laughter while her now long blonde hair was now sopped.
As they then shared yet another satisfying kiss, Lilly had now forgotten about her scar and the shooting. In fact their vacation was now beginning to heat up, but had no idea where he was going to take her for dinner and dancing.
When she had found out later that night, Lilly was shocked that John had gotten reservations for a very expensive restaurant. Once inside her breathing had literally stopped, taking in the beauty of the place. It was immaculate with usual design that she never had seen before. The smell of the food, well added to the mixture of love and romance.
