RANDOM BITS OF MARRIED LIFE
PLAYING HIS GUITAR (song-Have I Told You Lately by Van Morrison, you'll have to imagine it cause I don't want my account to get deleted)
Harm sat in the living room on a stool that he had moved in from the kitchen. It was just easier to play his guitar sitting like this. A few sheets of music were sitting on a stand in front of him. Once in a while he would improvise the notes, sending a sweet and melodic sound throughout the house. Mac had been upstairs, taking a nap when the sound awakened her. Harm rarely had a chance to play anymore but she loved listening to him every time he did. His playing was filled with such a passion and devotion that she couldn't help but be mesmerized by its sound.
She quietly crept downstairs, not wanting him to hear her and stop. He stopped briefly when she reached the bottom of the stairs and she heard the rustling of paper before he started back up again. It took her a minute before she recognized the tune. She snuck into the living room and took a seat on the couch right in front of him. There was a small pause as he looked up to find her watching him so intently but he only smiled and started to sing the words.
Their gaze locked on each other and they gazed intently into the other's eyes as he continued to play and sing, hers a chocolate brown, his a deep sea blue.
He finished the last few notes and dropped his fingers from the guitar strings. He carefully set the guitar down next to him and joined her on the couch. Harm reached up to gently caress her cheek with one hand. "I love you," he said tenderly.
"I love you too," she whispered softly as he leaned in to brush his lips against hers.
Thanks for the wonderful reviews so far. You have no idea how much they make my week, especially since I'm so stressed out with finals. Thank all of you for building a poor writer's confidence! I do hope you're all (okay, at least some of you) are still enjoying these little bits.
