Moonlit Dance

Looking up at the night sky, she smiled. He looked down at her, taking in her features. She pressed herself closer to him, pressing her face to his neck. Far away somewhere, music drifted up towards the rooftop where they sat. Her smile brightened; and he laughed. He knew this was her favorite song. He got up, taking her by the hand. He pulled her close to himself; one hand on her lower back, the other on her waist. She placed both hands on her chest, but her right hand was on his heart. They rocked slowly. She looked up at the sky again.”So beautiful,” she murmered. He pulled her closer, and their bodies connected into one. “Sure,” he whispered,”But I see something much more beautiful right here.” She blushed and looked down, her cheeks flaming with heat. He picked her face up, and smiled. Her eyes twinkled in the moonlight. He leaned in and kissed her. He soon broke the kiss, though it was unwillingly. She smiled brightly, and pulled him close.The moon disappeared behind the clouds, ending their dance.
