Chapter 4

Three decades and half have been spent on this earth, we grew up from toddlers to adult yet, I love to see this child in you. As innocent as just born and as smart as the newly learnt to speak, something only you have mastered. Watching you free from the clutches of e-mails and phones, feels like it’s a different person than I know. Reading those eager eyes, wandering all over the drive shows how badly you needed this and glad I could give you this. Watching those fluttering hair endlessly, curved lips in the direction I always want to, holding your gentle fingers more gently, breathing the unique fragrance you elude it is so amazing at times being by you and not driving the car. I miss so much about you, miss seeing the child in you, the teen in you and the adult who can be herself in this world so fast.

That look filled with excitement and gripping of hand so tight when you saw the cruise parked is so fresh in my eyes as I pen these words today. Only I know how badly you wanted to run, yet it is for me you slow down something at times I feel bad about it. We have been on drives, flown without wings and swung on rail many a times but can’t wait to sail on sea. Vast is the sky, vast is the ocean, blue is the ocean and blue is the sky let this moment take a pause and not fly. The dream, conversations, discussions and planning is all in front of us and can’t wait to step into it, I wish I could carry you into it than make you walk.

My prayers to get an empty elevator came true and it was such a treat to watch the look you gave, for only you know what follows next. Moment the doors close, a warm embrace from behind to engulf you, a wet kiss on your shoulder and that goosebumps kiss under your ears is all I could squeeze in. Damn why are these elevators so fast? But this surely is just the start. Could not stop rushing towards the room to resume what is paused. That moment, room door closing behind us, pulling you close, so close that I can hear you breathe. Looking at your chest swelling and contracting, your breath on my chest, those eyes not wanting to look into mine. Those hairs gently wanting to flutter, those cheeks turning red as you blush and finally the moment when two pair of lips just melt into each other. They combine two souls into one, melt two bodies into one and two wild rivers of emotions combine to form an ocean of love with waves so strong. I wish this kiss never ended but I could sense you getting breathless hence let you fall back in my arms and swing you gently and watch you smile. Should I say we dangled or should I say we walked like the penguins in my arms, as we headed to catch a glimpse of the ocean and the sky from your dream ocean view room. It indeed was a breathtaking view mesmerized by the beauty and vastness, but just then I realized embracing you. A beauty which has no match to itself, its vastness, charm and as I always tell you, natures’ best creation.

The moon was shining at its best but suddenly I saw it starting to hide behind the clouds and taking the twinkling stars along. I stood confused and just before they disappeared the moon left a note, why need us when she is out here dazzling. Confused and amused, I turned to see what was that, only to be left speechless and amazed. Wearing blue that I so love on you, is just perfect with the ocean and sky blue already. No wonder the moon and stars went hiding, they have seen a moon walking on earth who twinkles more than any star in the sky. There cannot be a moment more proud than holding your hand and walking into this little crowd. You for sure are my pride and the world to envy for rest of their lives. Walking through the aisles, watching you win the little games at the slot machines, watching your facial expressions tasting different food sour, sweet, tantalizing, spicy beyond you can take, this is like all I dreamt off is happening right here right now. Walking to the deck holding your tender and cold fingers I must admit I was more nervous than you. The biggest dream of our lives is just few moments away and this is making me weak, hold me my love. As the first breeze embraces us and there comes your hair fluttering into my face with the mesmerizing fragrance. Walking to the edge of the deck could not wait for our own ‘Titanic’ moment. I don’t know how “Jack” felt, but holding you by the waist with excitement, romance, softness, oozing sensuality as I peep into your cleavage, was sure of not holding my Rose but a garden of roses in my warm embrace. I Love You SMILEY, is what I whispered in your ears and pecking a wet kiss under ears to leave shivers if the ones caused by the sea breeze was not enough. Comforting you on the deck with warm covers as you lay on my chest, gazing at the stars that suddenly peeped out again, as the ship cruises through the waves you ensure I can Romance you Anytime Anywhere…….
