The orange hues of the sun seed like a tangerine jelly rging with the sky. The sun hid half of itself under the blanket of the sky as if blushing thinking of how the twilight will soon beckon the stars. Silhouettes of birds appeared on the now magenta sky as they flew back to their hos.
As the last orange rays made her sleeping figure aglow, his lips bore a semblance of a smile at the sight. He enjoyed this feeling of being able to lie next to her and just stare at her milky white skin.
The birds might be flying ho outside the window but as he placed a kiss on the space between her brows, he knew that he was really ho. He pulled her body closer to himself and said, "I love you, baby. And I also love the feeling of loving you. Oddly, I don’t seem to care anymore about what your love does to ." His voice sounded like whispering adows; serene, mysterious, and most of all beautiful.
Xu y stirred a bit in her sleep as his voice fell to her ears. She smiled and tilted her face to look at him. "Jie, what am I to you?" She asked out of the blue in a soft voice.
Ye Jie played with her long locks and smiled beautifully. "You are my weakness." He started making her scowl but he kissed the tip of her nose and added, "But you’re also my strength."
"How?" She questioned seemingly very interested in this conversation.
Ye Jie tousled her hair a bit and said, "You’re my weakness because I care for you too much. As for being my strength, that’s because I love you too much."
Xu y stared dumbfoundedly at his face that seed to be glowing for so odd reason. Then her lips curled upwards as a beautiful smile blood on her face. She hugged him tightly as if afraid that he would slip away from her grasp.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" She suddenly rembered as she sat up covering herself with sheets and added, "I have a gift for you."
Ye Jie’s brows quirked up in surprise as he listened to her, "I prepared it about a month ago for your birthday but I got tangled up with stuff so much that I completely forgot about your birthday." She was feeling really bad about it.
"Found it!" She managed to pull out a small box out of her jacket which was thrown sowhere earlier and walked back to the bed. She extended the box towards him with a toothy grin.
Ye Jie eyed the box curiously and took it from her. As he opened the box, his brows knitted together.
There was a bracelet set inside the small box. The platinum bracelets had a very simple design of infinity carved on them but what made them special was the words written inside the infinity lines.
In one loop of the first bracelet was written, ’Cherry’s’ and in the second loop’s line was written ’Jie’ while on the second bracelet in the sa pattern was written, ’Rain’s Baby’.
He opened his mouth to say sothing but could find neither words nor his voice. He looked up to see her nervously waiting for his response. "Do you like it?" She voiced out her uncertainty.
Ye Jie didn’t answer her question with words instead he pulled her towards himself and planted a long kiss on her lips. The long kiss slowly turned into a deep one as they started losing themselves in each other all over again.
Before he would lose himself completely in her, Ye Jie pulled away a bit. Face-to-face, the tips of their nose brushed together as he spoke in a low voice, "Just like I love you. I love everything that cos with you. Even your forgetfulness." Xu y grinned goofily which didn’t last long as he held her face and caressed her bottom lip with his thumb.
Xu y gulped down looking into his deep brown eyes that made her feel dizzy and hot once again. She tried to pull away and suggested, "Let put this on for you."
Ye Jie didn’t tease her and extended his hand in front of her. She took the bracelet with ’Cherry’s Jie’ written on it and made him wear it. As she helped him with the bracelet, he held her hands in his own and looked straight into her eyes with indescribable emotion.
"Baby, I’m in awe," He started speaking in his husky tone, "Not just with the fact that you’re so beautiful but also with the fact that a beautiful person like you is all mine to keep for the rest of my life." Xu y felt a blush creeping up her face as he went on, "I heard about miracles but never believed in them and yet you beca my miracle. You found who was lost and slowly, with your mysterious smiles pulled at my heartstrings making them play out a tune that only you could hear." Tears started pooling in her eyes as she looked at the sincere smile on his face. "You beca the answer for a person like who always kept looking for answers in life. I always believed that love is all about being patient and not proud. But whenever I’m with you, I beco the proudest person in the world and oddly enough, I’d love to boast about my wife to the whole world as well. And I won’t even feel any sha for flaunting you around." Xu y chuckled a bit as a tear seeped out of her eye. "I want to laugh, I want to love and most of all I want to cherish this life with you and all of this is because of you. You walked into my life and dared to see the dreams that had you in them and I did. Day by day, every day... My dreams are all about you... With you... You are and will always be the love of my life... My reasons for dreams... My reason for living and I’d love to keep you right beside as my soulmate and most of all, as my one and only, Cherry Wife."
Xu y was in between laughing and crying as he finished speaking or more like making this vow. It was like he spoke all the vows one would do on their wedding day.
Ye Jie wiped her tears with the back of the hand and said, "Baby, can you not cry please?" Xu y nodded but couldn’t help sobbing at the way his voice ward her heart. She encircled her arms around his neck and buried her face in his neck.
Ye Jie rubbed her back softly trying to soothe her. After a while, her hiccups seized and he heard her hoarse voice, "I never thought in my life that I’d find soone who’d be willing to pick up my shattered and scattered self. You showed that beauty doesn’t exist in the picture perfect things, it can exist in a whithered rose and fading fireworks. The only condition is; one has to have a person to share it with them." She pulled away herself and her soft hands pald his face saying, "Ah-Jie, you made realize that broken people like can also love and be loved. You made want to anticipate everything. I even started anticipating the mont when your eyes would look at again and what emotions and feelings I’d find in them. You taught what freedom is. Not from the world but from my own self. You freed and made want to fly high." Ye Jie had a content smile plastered on his lips as he listened to her voice that felt like a tinkling glass and her words were akin to a lover’s kiss.
She took a pause to gather her thoughts before she added, "Jie, I need you in my life for the rest of it... I know I’m impulsive, impatient, rude, blunt, and most of all, forgetful. But I feel blessed that a man like you who could have found soone way better than had fallen for . I never took myself to be the luckiest girl but with you in my life, I don’t think anyone can win in luck from anymore. I love you and I am willing to scream it to the world that I love you. And I’d gladly announce it to the whole world that you are my husband. Mine. One and only. Forever!"
She sealed her vow with a kiss on his lips taking him by surprise. As the moonlight cascaded inside and fell on her face, it made her appear ethereal. Well, to him, she had always been ethereal.
