Mexico, 1959

"Why didn't you ever tell me you could play guitar?"

He set the guitar down next to himself and lay down on the grass pulling her with him to lay on his chest

"Were you gonna ask me to be in you're show?"

"Most definitely"

She propped herself up and leaned forward taking his bottom lip between her teeth making him groan

"I wish I could whisk you away to France and we could dance on the grass next to the Eiffel Tower"

She smiled and stood up pulling on his arm

"What are you doing?"

She pulled him to her and put one of his hands on her waist and her hand on his shoulder

"Close you're eyes and sway with me"

He pulled her closer and closed his eyes sighing in contenment as she lay her head on his shoulder

"Now imagine moonlight, the Eiffel Tower and music playing in the distance"

He buried his nose in her hair and let his imagination take over then her voice filled his ears and he was in heaven

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore

And love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

Love was made for me and you....

He picked her up and spun her around making her squeal, he chuckled and stopped spinning lifting his face to kiss her instead

They lay under the tree until the sky turned dark, he pointed out the stars and they admired the moonlight.

"It's getting cold"

She nodded and allowed him to stand up. He wandered into the darkness and came back a few minutes later with two arms full of sticks and branches

"What on earth-"

"We can't have a romantic night under the stars without a fire"

"You can make a fire with zero matches?"

"Yes that's basic training"

"Okay mister sexy soldier"

He smiled and quickly lit a fire with two rocks

"That is impressive"

He shrugged and went back to sitting next to her after getting the fire started. She instantly sat closer to him and threw her legs over his relaxing in the warm glow of the fire.

He grabbed the guitar and started playing it humming along as he pulled at the strings. She smiled and closed her eyes feeling the vibrations of his voice as she lay her head on his shoulder
