Love in the Skies

Love in the Skies

 

I screamed at the top of my lungs, I was sick of it.  That was the last straw the tears began to well up in my eyes, looking at the man I once loved. His face completely distorted by my blurred vision. My trembling fingers continued to caress the sore cheek he had just so brutally smacked. He was a merciless beast; I couldn’t believe he was the man I once loved. I turned to leave I had enough of it, I was leaving. My fingers grabbed the brass door handle and threw it open with such great force, I nearly fell.

I darted out of that hell hole at the speed of light. I couldn’t take his abuse any longer, the endless nights of loveless ; the relationship seemed so surreal and amazing at first. But now it was a disaster, I should’ve listened to my sister when she warned me that there was no such thing as love. Just like a little girl getting her dreams crushed I collapsed running up the stairs, the tears staining my once beautiful face. I stormed up them wanting to escape all the problems of the world on the rooftop, where I always ran away to in the long, lonely nights.

I struggled pushing the heavy metal door open with my shaking hands, but I finally managed to with extreme effort and concentration. I flung myself forward letting the cool and windy night air swallow me whole. The sensation so beautiful and lovely I began to cry even harder.  I couldn’t help it, I was finally alone in the only place I felt safe. I leaned against the metal door letting the tears fall nonstop, no dam holding them back any longer. I had enough we were over and like that my hope for love was gone with it.

After a while the tears began to subside, and I regained strength in my legs. I slowly stood up heading towards the ledge of the building, my fingers gripped onto the railing for their dear life. As I looked out below at all the wandering lovers who experienced what I had hoped to find.  I sighed, how was it I was so miserable because of a worthless guy. I groaned looking to the sky hoping its beauty would make me feel good, like it always did…and it did. A smile slowly formed on my lips.

“Finally, you smile for once! I’m guessing that means you broke up with that skunk bag?”  Said a soothing, unfamiliar voice, I whipped around coming face to face with an extremely handsome stranger. 

He had raven black hair that swept across his sculpted face. A straight and perfectly formed nose, big dark brown hypnotic eyes, and thin pouty pink lips completed his perfect look and the way he smiled at me oh so gently.  I snapped out of my trance realizing I didn’t know this guy but he somehow knew me.

“Who are you? And how do you know about that?” He chuckled the sound so beautiful and pleasing to my ears.  His eyes widened letting the stars reflect in his dark irises.

“I’m Minhyuk, I live up here!” He smiled at my completely dumbfounded facial expression, as I tried to speak but the words wouldn’t form. I couldn’t believe it, this guy heard me cry, saw my puffy eyes and heard my story and he did it in secret.  But I couldn’t form the questions I wanted to ask so desperately, my mind drawing a blank. He nodded “yes that does mean I’ve seen you cry.” He said acting like it was no big deal.

“H-how!? I never even saw you? Why do you live on the roof?” Those were the only questions I was able to sputter out to the god like man.  He smiled once again causing my heart to stop in my chest.

“Why else? I don’t have any money, plus I am a musician!” He spoke with such elegance, and kindness it was hard for me to ignore this strange man.  But I once again stayed frozen another dumbfounded face forming. He smiled once again quickly ruffling my hair “the sky provides inspiration, just like the interesting people who appear up here every now and then.”  Then I finally understood what he was saying, and then does that mean he wrote a song about me and my story?

“Does that mean you wrote one about me?” I said willingly suddenly regaining my voice and mind. He nodded quickly removing his jacket, folding it neatly and placing it before me. He quickly pointed at it and ran off in a random direction. I looked at the soft fabric curiously before sitting on it, noting he made a soft little cushion for me to sit on. A couple of seconds past and my eyes wandered back up to the beautiful night sky, painted with small sparkling stars. I smiled again feeling as if something amazing was going to happen, and this time it was going to be good for once.

Minhyuk reappeared taking a seat in front of me, holding a beautiful wooden guitar. That seemed to shine under the stars’ lights.

“This is it, but I haven’t made lyrics yet!” I nodded waiting for him to start. He quickly pulled out a guitar pick that was in the shape of a heart, I smiled at how cute and sincere it was. He closed his eyes taking in a deep breath and began to play, his pick gliding gently across the guitar strings. The melody leaving them fills the night sky with its hypnotizing sound. Before I knew it my eyes had closed and I was crying once again.

But not because I was sad. But because the music was so beautiful yet sad. Making me feel like I was in that relationship once again, but this time it was different. It was a beautiful masterpiece, where we truly loved each other.  The scene, setting and sound track where that of a romantic movie where everyone ended up happy.  I couldn’t help but to let out a soft cry and the music suddenly came to an abrupt halt. A mixture of unturned chords screwing up the beautiful scene I had painted in my mind.

I felt warm minty breathe brush against my face, holding it in its warm embrace just for a split second before it disappeared. Then I felt someone touch me, them brushing against my sensitive skin in such a loving and caring way. I leaned forward loving the feeling of it all, till I felt something warm and soft touch my lips and never leave. I felt a warm bubble burst inside my chest expanding wildly, making me feel like I was floating on cloud 7.

My eyes burst open to see Minhyuk, his eyes closed his lips connected with mine a small smile tugging at the corners of his then mine too. As we both leaned in further deepening the kiss, his hands moving the guitar out of our way so I could get closer. Now our bodies were only inches apart till he pulled away, that gorgeous smile still place don his lips and a loving look in his shining eyes.

“Eunah, I never want you to cry again, ever.” He said with such sincerity I wanted to kiss him again, I didn’t quite understand how we formed I mean we just now met. But it felt like we had known each other for centuries and he knew my story and everything about me. He was there for me even if it was in secret, he was amazing. His eyes left mine as they wandered the night sky with curiosity and wander, an obvious idea forming in his brain.

“You know what else can be found in the sky, besides inspiration?” I looked at him confused and quickly uttered a no. “Love,” he stated so blatantly that I couldn’t help but smile at how cheesy and somehow true it was. I leaned forward for another kiss, hoping this love we found in the sky was real and not imaginary…it wasn’t fake, it was real.
