EVERYTHING NEEDS LOVE

I wondered when I started to not be able to look into his eyes. Why my heart always raced when I heard his name, or when I was in his presences. It never seemed all that odd in the beginning, I just ignored it and took it for some faze I would grow out of. Yet, then it started to get more serious, for me, I’m too far. Now he’s too near, and I can feel his breath.

There’s a sound I hear in the dark

“You’re beautiful”

I can still hear his faint whisper, and his scent so inviting he seemed so wild, mysterious, and he intrigued me. I remember when he first took recognition of me, my heart swelled and beated like a war drum in my chest.

It’s a secret sung by the vanishing stars

My eyes dart to the right, seeing his perfect figure and I melt. I mean, if you’ve saw him then, you would have melted too. His tawny hair had been pulled back in a loose ponytail, with his trademark skull bandanna wrapped around his head. His steel-blue eyes are to die for, and he looked so lazy standing there resting on the rail of the stair case that led up to the top deck. My tongue darted out to lick my dry lips, as I still stare at him.

He looked at me then, a smirk on his lips as his eyes laughed. He must have been watching me as well. I refuse to blush! Yet, my silent prayers didn’t seem to be answered as I felt my face grow hot. I glare then, covering up my emotions. A thing I picked up along the way on the road of childhood.

The lonesome bird loosing its song to tears

He strutted over to me, an aura of high grace. I glance away; maybe he won’t stop next to me. Maybe he’ll just walk on by and not recognize me. Or maybe, he’ll just stop right next to me and hook an arm around my shoulders while I burn in a horrid embarrassment.

“Luna…”

His breath light as he whispered my name against my neck, my violet eyes shy away from his topaz orbs. I can’t look at him. I’m most likely going to have a heart attack because of this.

“Clive”

I squeak out his name, trying my best to sound non-effected by his voice. His smirk grew wide and his lips grazed my soft flesh, I shiver. So much for covering up my emotions. I glare suddenly, coming up with the quickest excuse to stop this feeling.

“You stole my ship!”

Well, that much was true. He did steal my ship, four years ago. He blinked, looking at me as he rubbed his small beard and mustache almost as if it helped him think.

“Correction, I did not steal your ship, I merely barrowed it without you knowing and with every intention of giving it back”

Liar.

“You said that four years ago!”

Okay, so maybe I was being a bit childish, but its better then admitting your feelings to the captain.

“And, I still have every intention of giving it back”

He said with that sexy smirk; I swear to the moon that he’s some kind of drug, a drug I can’t resist.

As the voices rise and reach out

“So? That still gives you no right to claim my ship!”

“Technically it’s not your ship anymore, babe, it’s mine”

He said that too comfortably and I glare daggers into him. He can’t just go around and claim a ship whenever he wants!

“Oh, and since when is this ship yours?”

He pointed to his hat, which I didn’t even see him get? He slapped it onto his head as if it were some kind of security blanket. But his cocky grin said anything but that he needed security.

“You see this hat? This means I am captain, which states I am the rightful owner of this ship”

He said it slowly, like I was retarded or something. Asshole. His eyes lingered down my body like he was picking off my clothing with his eyes. Great, now he’s a pervert and an asshole.

“I don’t care if that bloody hat says you’re the captain of the fucking world! You still don’t have right to claim MY ship!”

Well isn’t that mature?

He grinned more, pleased with my reaction. I swear I’m going to kill him if I don’t die of a heart attack!

“I think you’re still a little confused”

I’m confused? HE STILL THINKS THIS SHIP IS HIS!!!

I glare at him my lip puckering up in a pout that I didn’t even realize formed. That would explain why he’s smirking at me.

Comes a ray of the sun through a blanket of clouds

Suddenly, I was jolted forward as I hit something or someone hard. I blink, looking up and topaz eyes laughed down at me as a soft bemused smile greeted me. Immediately my face grew hot. Okay, I admit, it’s not my first time being this close to someone, and I’m not uncomfortable in this position at all.

It’s him that makes me feel uncomfortable. Because of him I now know of what feelings are, feelings I don’t want. But it was comfy, snuggled up close to his warmth.

Yet, if he holds me long enough, I know that I wouldn’t want him to let go. Never. That thought kind of scares me. Bad. Really bad.

So, in that state of mind, I pull away. His eyes dazed as he looked down at me confused and slightly hurt. He reached for me again but I step back, far away from him. I knew I was sending mix signals, that I was confusing him. But I didn’t care. I couldn’t risk having these feelings, for anyone. Let alone him!

The crying sky unlocks the secret kept

“Don’t worry, Luna, I’ll protect you”

I jumped, startled by his calm voice. Since when did he give a damn about me anyway? Wait, protect me? From what? I grunt gazing up at him with the most rueful glare I could muster.

Which wasn’t much.

“Clive, since when is it your job to protect me?”

My voice was slightly harsh, and I was shocked as he dipped in, not to my lips but to my neck. His breath gently fanning on a sensitive spot, I couldn’t help but to shiver. Did he know where my sensitive spots are? Or is he just good at this kind of thing?

I could feel his smirk spread across his lips on my neck, his lips grazing my skin gently. Like he was marking me, branding me, carving himself into me, making me his, and his alone.

“Luna,”

His laugh was soft and rich, and it vibrated through me as if we were one. I smile slightly at the thought.

“You are not un-human, and you are not invincible. No matter how much you try to be so…”

His smile was his own and it made me weak. I hate that, yet I love it at the same time, is that even possible?

“Don’t be foolish and ruining yourself with such actions,”

He held my wrists tightly as he spoke, his voice sounding hard and cold, even though I knew he meant well. My scared wrists were no such thing to be proud of, I hated them in fact. I hate myself for allowing myself to be so weak as to cause such an act.

Whispers “I was born to be remembered”

He held me closer, rain soaking us to the bone but neither of us cared. We were unaware of the world outside of our own. Yet we swayed to a beat that was known only to us, a mystical aura covered as, like a blanket, protecting us from any harm.

“Why do you care…?”

My voice broke even though I tried to hide it. It couldn’t be helped. I hated, more than anything, to relive those memories. Because they stung like a thousand knifes, piercing my soul, the very soul that I tried to mend.

He shook his head, rain drops scattering around us like broken diamonds. It looked, and even felt, like a dream. He was so beautiful, like some Greek God out of an old history book.

His eyes shone brightly, more sky blue then night black. And his golden hair seemed unusually dark. Lighting flashed as we stood in our own universe. His gaze smoldered. Hot, intense desire---wanting.

“Because, even though you seem to block out the world, and live in your own, you still offer help, and care about others…”

He whispered, voice light with lust as he breathed out the words, barely forming them on his lips.

“Because, even though you act like a selfish brat”

A small smile formed on his lips and a light amused chuckle emitted from him. My heart swelled. His hand caressing my cheek softly, delicately and his touch was alien to my skin.

“You’re my everything, and everything needs love”

I parted my lips, titling my chin up my breath coming faster as warmth flowed through me. He hesitated for a moment, but then brought his lips hungrily down onto mine. It was fierce yet gentle all at once.

The hands that held me close, protectively and possessive were rough and strangely yet amazingly soft. Our hearts pounded as one a wild rhythm and I tasted salty desire on his lips.

Rain fell around us.

And we kissed.

She calls “The truth that I’ve found will always stay here in my heart”

Everything needs love.
