six // secrets and desires

"You only know a part of me, I am a universe full of secrets"

{DON'T PLAY THE SONG YET, THERE WILL BE A WARNING LATER ON WHEN YOU HAVE TO START PLAYING IT}

"What do you think you're doing?"

Manu almost jumps out of his skin.

"Jesus, you scared me!"

Then again, he realizes what he is doing.

"Oh, I uh .. I just ..." he tries to rescue himself while his hand rubs his neck awkwardly.

I raise a cheeky eyebrow.

"I have to go"

He tries to step towards the doorway but I step in front of him.

"You aren't going anywhere."

"Amelie, as I said, I have to go"

"Not before you tell me what the heck you were doing in Fay's stuff!"

"I don't think you want to get in trouble with me"

Actually, I would love to cause some trouble with him.

"Manu, please, tell me why you are acting like this?"

"I'm sorry butterfly, but I can't tell you."

The way he says butterfly makes my heart flutter, and totally warms me up inside.

"Please promise me you won't tell Fay", are the last words that come out of his mouth as he gently pushes me to the side and leaves the room.

I am shook.

I can't tell Fay, I don't want to ruin everything with Manu.

I want to know his secret.

But I can't let Fay down, I just can't do that to her.

Oh god, he is so confusing, but somehow, I love it.

That night, I just couldn't seem to sleep.
My mind wandered.
I looked at the clock on my bedside table.

3AM.

I decided to get out of bed, and take a little walk, I needed some fresh air to let my thoughts go.

I quietly slipped into my black jumpsuit and slowly opened the hotel door.

When I finally was outside, I straight-up went to the beach.

I sat down on the cool sand and watched the moon's shimmering reflection on the sparkling water.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the calming sound.

I sat there like that for quite a while, until I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.

Surprisingly, I didn't startled.

I turned my head around and look right into those award winning eyes.

Manu.

okay, you can start playing the song ;)
*************************************

"Hey," he said with a raspy voice.
Oh god, that sounded so pretty.

"Hey"
I answered, giving him a weak smile.

He sat down beside me and rested his elbows on his knees.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, slowly, while turning my head towards the boy.

"I could ask you the same question", is the answer.

I look back to the ground and start drawing figures in the sand.

He rushes his hand trough his hair and I can feel his eyes resting on my back.

He takes his jacket off and sits on it.

Then he starts to talk.

"I like to come here at night.
It's so peaceful, just the sea, the moon and me."

I smile at him. I slowly rest my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arm around me and pulls me closer.

I enjoy his warmth and calmness.
I close my eyes and hear him breath in and out slowly.

I lay down my head on his legs as he stretches them out.

We don't say anything, but it isn't awkward at all.
We don't have to say anything.

He carefully puts his hand on my hair and rubs his fingers trough it.

I get a chill and suddenly get goosebumps.
"Are you cold?" Manu asks worried.

But before I can answer, I feel his coat on my shoulders.

I blissfully creep away and immerse myself in his wonderful scent.

Sweet, soft, fresh, a little heavy and so attractive.

"Amelie.."

I turn my head around.

"Yes..?"

He strikes a little piece of hair behind my ear and caresses my cheek.

He leans in forward and I feel that it's going to happen.

He looks me deep in the eyes and clenches his jaw.

"Amelie, I think I am in love with you."

He bites his lips, and looks at me with a scared look in his -oh so beautiful- eyes.

My breath stocks.
My heart stops beating.
My eyes widen.

I see that tears are dwelling up in his eyes, and he wants to say something, but I cut him off gently.

"Manu..
I love you too"

And then it happens, right after we stare in each others eyes.

His lips touch mine.

And it feels better than I remember. This kiss is so passionate, we both only want this, and nothing else.

Everything around us makes it so perfect; the sparkling moon, the whispering sea, the warm wind that breezes around us and the palm trees that slowly rush back and forth.

We are meant to be.

Our lips slowly break apart, and we both smile at each other.

I slowly put my head back on his legs and feel my eyelids getting heavier.

We lay there for half an hour, not having to say anything, just enjoying each other's company.

Slowly, although I don't want them to, my eyelids close themselves.

"Goodnight, butterfly"
I hear Manu whisper before I fall into a deep, relaxing sleep.
