Midnight confession on the Beach

That night Little Moon, wanted to go out to refresh her mind and to take a break from her work. I accompanied her as I need a little change of scenery with some fresh air. A walk along the beach near midnight was so peaceful and the view was breathtaking.

I saw her seated on the beach with her knees tucked under her chin. After watching her from a distance for a few minutes I thought I should talk to her. At the same time, I get a message to my phone. It was her from the Instagram ID, StarDust. I leaned against a coconut tree not far from her.

"Hi, Dusk, are you up?" she has asked.

"Hmm, after a long time. What's up?" I knew she was bothered because she never messages at this time before.

"Are you asleep or doing some work?"

"No not sleeping. I am sorry I had been busy with some write-ups so I wasn't able to come online."

"It's ok. I had been pretty busy too."

"How was your drama coming up?"

"We are still in the process of making the CG scenes, and most of the actors and locations are selected."

"I hear the sound of the waves, are you near a beach?"

"Yes, I wanted to calm down myself and relax a bit."

"But isn't it pass mid-night?"

"Hmm... I came with George and the security." I looked at her. She was looking far ahead.

"How are you getting along with him?"

"Hmmm..... I think it's ok. We do work well together."

"Is he a good guy ? Or do you feel uncomfortable around him?"

"He's not bad, more gentlemanly type, that I like." I smiled hearing that.

"So how are you getting along with him?"

"Not bad, we had been working together on the drama scenes. Kind of like the same wavelength." I saw her writing something on the beach.

"Little...". Oh my, I was just about to reveal myself. "Starry, how do you feel when he is around?"

"Hmmm..."

"Can you be honest to yourself and reply. Does it feel like Brother D is with you?"

I heard her take a deep breath before answering. Hmm... It feels like I have Brother D near me. But..." She stopped what she was saying.

"Have you started to like him?" I looked at her from afar.

"Hmm.... I don't know... But it feels more comfortable staying around him. Like the time I used to spend with Brother D."

It was my time to say, "Hmm..." I knew she is confused. She had only known Mr.D for a long time, and suddenly me appearing in front of her in real must be emotionally hard for her to make a change of heart.

"Hi, didn't you upload any photos recently.. I miss those." she suddenly asked.

"I did travel a bit and got some new photos. I will upload them tomorrow."

"Ok.. It must be pretty late there, you should head back to sleep."

"What about you, aren't you heading back home?"

"I will stay for about an hour and then head back, Good Night Dusk."

We ended the chat with a bye empjie and I looked at her. She was looking at the sea. I silently went and sat beside her on the beach. It's getting a bit too windy and cold. I saw her rubbing her hands together to keep herself warm. I took my coat and wrapped it around her shoulders and enjoyed some time silently looking at the sea.

"It's nice to be at the beach at night. I love to watch the stars." I just said.

"I used to love Astronomy when I was a kid." She said looking at the sky.

"Astronomy is pretty interesting. So when did you started to like designing?"

"I loved architecture, and little by little with the things I learned, I kind of became experienced in all areas."

"So you are a natural talent in this field."

"I guess so." She nodded her head while playing with a seashell, she has found. Maybe this will also go to her seashell bottle.

"I am sorry about that day.. I was too careless..." I looked at her to notice she was looking at me. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or make you feel uncomfortable."

"I guess it's ok..." she said looking at her feet.

"I know you are close with Mr.D."

"Yes. I have only let him be close to me for more than ten years. It's a bit strange at first. But Brother D and I have a mutual understanding of things, because of Amy's behavior."

"So Amy is the reason you both don't get together?" I asked while she nodded as to reply yes.

I looked at her more carefully this time. She looked more radiant than usual I have seen. Maybe the night light makes her look soft and calm looking. They both love each other, but unseen fears are making them compromise themselves to keep the other safe.

"I am a bit unfamiliar with others being so close," she said.

"Do you think we both will have a chance to be together if we try?" I asked her and looked at her eyes.

"Maybe, I don't know..." she said shyly.

"I'll give you time... no need to rush things, but will you give me permission to pursue you?" I asked her. She looked at me surprised.

"Yes, I think it's ok." She looked at the seashell in her hand.

This was a sign she is being confused. I have to think of a way to make her feel comfortable.

"Don't you like to travel?" I asked her to divert her mind from thinking too much.

"No, I haven't. But I would love to one day. For the time being, home is where my heart is." She smiled. "Have you traveled a lot?"

"Yes, I have. I especially love to travel to less crowded places like beautiful untouched beaches, lakes, and parks."

"And go on picnics?"

She told suddenly. Was she remembering some happy times with Mr.D.

"Yes go on picnics too. But I still haven't met the right person to go on a picnic." I looked at her.

"Tell me more about your trips I love to hear them."

"What kind of trips do you want to hear?"

"Anything interesting.Maybe something I can imaging too."

"Hmm... would you like to hear about the trip to the largest flower garden?" I asked her tucking a strand of hair near her ear.

"Yes, please."

This was a very interesting place I visited. they had various kinds of flowers grown specially for creating fragrances. I told her about gardens filled with flowers and the stories accompanying each flower. Till I suddenly felt a little weight on my shoulder. When I looked there she was fallen asleep. I hold her tightly for about half an hour till she said,

"Red Roses" in her sleep. I remember Mr.D telling me she loved the Red Rose fragrance very much and she always wears that same body mist.

It is time to head back home so I hold her in my arms and took her to the car and asked the security to drive us back home. During the drive, she snuggled into my embrace more.
