One more thing...

[No More Pretending]

She blushed lightly, turning to face him with a soft smile on her ruby lips. "Your eyes are really nice, too. They're soft...understanding..." She placed her hand against his cheek. "They're loving, and warm..."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he leaned closer to her, gently touching his forehead against hers. "Yours is like a fire... Shining bright whenever it's dark... And like a flame that refuses to go out..." He continued to smile as he wraps his arms around her waist, kissing her deeply.

 

[No More Pretending]

She kissed back affectionately, fingers looping around his shirt collar and pulling her closer.

 

[Riven]

He continued to kiss her deeply, gently rubbing and caressing her back as he smiled into the kiss.

 

[No More Pretending]

She pulled away, winded from the breathtaking kiss.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he gently kissed her, touching his forehead with hers gently.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled against his lips, closing her green eyes.

 

[Riven]

He laughed a little, smiling as he continued to keep her forehead against his.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly, hugging him. "You're always so sweet."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he hugged her tightly, "Not as much as you."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly.

 

[Riven]

He kept his smile, keeping his arms around her tightly.

 

[No More Pretending]

She opened her eyes, turning to look out the window as the last rays of light disappeared behind the horizon.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he held her hand tightly, "Want to go for another walk?"

 

[No More Pretending]

"Sure," she murmured, giving a small nod. She gave his hand a loving squeeze and giggled. "I never pictured that I'd be here..."

 

[Riven]

He nodded with a smile, "To be with someone that you haven't seen in years, hand in hand? Yeah, I say the same."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled. "That too... But I meant... I never thought that I would be in love. Especially with someone as amazing as you.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he kisses her cheek gently, "You speak for both of us."

 

[No More Pretending]

She blushed. "Thank you, love."

 

[Riven]

He smiled, "You're very welcome."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled, kissing his cheek. She laid her head on his shoulder. She sang softly, nearly whispering,


"You got a face not spoiled by beauty


I have some scars from where I’ve been


You’ve got eyes that can see right through me


You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen


I was told that I would feel nothing the first time


I don’t know how these cuts heal


But in you I found a rhyme


If there is a light you can’t always see


And there is a world we can’t always be


If there is a dark that we shouldn’t doubt


And there is a light, don’t let it go out..."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he stroked his hand through her hair gently, listening to her beautiful voice and song.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled brightly and stopped singing. "It really fits, doesn't it...?" She asked.

 

[Riven]

He smiles and nodded, "A bit yes."

 

[No More Pretending]

She blushed, kissing his cheek. "You're so wonderful..." She murmured, feeling her eyes get watery. "What did I do...to deserve you?"
