Love under a Falling Sky

A Sweet Encounter

When the right people meet at the right moment, a sweet encounter takes place...

The girl who entered the bar was like a breath of fresh air. As I strum the guitar my gaze follow her. I tease her with my eyes and she smiles. But she seems not at ease, some sort of tension is inside her. Shifting her gaze to the TV she dumbly watches the news of the wedding of the business tycoons. This irritates me.

While Ethane wants the girl's attention, she is much more interested in the news. Ethane, who has always been the centre of attraction can't bear this. He tries to sing, that's his passion since childhood. Before indulging into business he would dream of becoming a singer one day. He also had a band with some of his closest friends.

I again concentrate on my next song but my gaze automatically shifts on her. She nervously gulps down some whiskey and orders for some more. Somehow managing her balance she walks up to the truck driver and asks for a phone. As he gives her his phone she cups her hand around her mouth and speaks abruptly to someone. Disconnecting the call she also deletes the number and drinks some more whiskey.

By now the singer returns and Ethane gets down and sits beside the girl. While he orders one more drink he looks at her . She is around twenty four or twenty five, with blue eyes and dark brown hair. She might not be the most beautiful woman but she is definitely attractive. When she holds the glass, Ethane stares at her nails because he personally has a liking for neatness and is satisfied finding her nails are very neat and nicely trimmed. But the most striking thing about her is her smell. She smells of cakes. She, her smell, her persona seems to have an influence on him.

The man on the other side tries to flirt with her. But she firmly opposes him and turns straight towards me. She says " Hey bar singer, you have a melodious voice.... I fell in love with your voice. " I thank her but that's only the beginning. Taking my hand in hers she again says, " You know, you are very handsome....but how will you know as I have never told you?... hahahaha.... " Understanding her pitiful state I try to free my hand from hers but she holds it more tightly. " Hey handsome, will you spend the night with me?" I wasn't ready for this. With one jerk I move my hand away. I had least expected this proposal from her. I immediately get up from the seat but she holds my shoulder, " Hey you, you are just a bar singer, why don't you say anything. You need money? look I have money." I don't even look at her and head towards my room.

I didn't even take a few steps when I hear the man by her side harassing her, " Hey beautiful, come with me" Saying so he grabs her hand and forcefully tries to take her away. She tries to break free but under the influence of whiskey, she barely has any strength left to resist.I walk back, punch that man hard on his face, grab the girl, carry her on my shoulder, enter my room and throw her on the bed.

Very softly she thanks me and I tell her to sleep, but she holds my hand and cries. Seeing her tears I sit beside her and she snuggles up by my side. Her provocative smell again draws me towards her and I can't resist myself from kissing her. We passionately kiss. I kiss her hard and she kisses back. My hand slowly feels her body and she puts her arms around mine....
