Falling for His Human Mate

The intimacy

People say you meet someone by chance but I assume no one meets anyone by chance rather it’s planned, it’s perfectly planned, it plotted, it’s designed in perfection because the extraordinary feeling that you experience when you meet him or her, does not owe merely to a chance but it’s indebted to that beautiful connive that must be fashioned by the Creator. 

I was destined to be here, to see him, to meet him, to know him, and to love him. I’m not sure if he feels the same, I may not seem appealing to him as I’m not that much smart and communicative, I know I’m a shy girl, a conservative being who prefers to be alone, to write, and to admire the beauty of nature. I might be far away from today’s fashioned society and culture but I know how to suffice myself for a man who is everything to me. I don’t even know how I got entangled because I have always tried avoiding boys in my life even hated them for their superiority and stubbornness but I do know that I don’t want to bother the spell that this amazing and magnificent human being has casted upon me.

I would manage an escape every night just to get to the cliff and see the most intriguing personality I have ever seen in my life. I didn’t say much or expressed myself as I would have spelled out my emotions and it would have indicated that I was into him but I did listen to him so attentively that he might have wondered if he was talking to me or himself. I wanted to be a mirror in which he could see himself and spill out all the anxieties, worries, happiness, emotions, all possible things which were consuming him. At this time, I do know that he enjoys my company or maybe he enjoys me, I don’t know what possibly could be his interest in me but one thing is evident, he is not a spoiler. I have not felt wasted or caged in his presence, he always makes sure to make me feel safe and free, I guess that’s perfectly enough for any girl to fall in love with somebody.

We started meeting in the daytime too. I would enjoy seeing him, when the sunlight hits him I could see the hairs on his ears, on his cheeks, those golden hairs which were only visible against the sunlight. I imaged his body so well that I could remember the shape of his nails, the dimple on his right cheek which was hardly visible through the beard, the lines on his broad forehead, and the moles all over his arms which I managed to see when he took off his hoodie once. He likes to wear dark shades as if he was fond of the dark or should I say nights.

“Do you feel good with me Mariane?”

“Why would you ask?”

“I don’t know like I talk all the time, doesn’t it bother you?”

“Not, I, I like listening to you, if I would be bored why I would be here in the first place”

“Makes sense yeah”

While walking me home, I was in a half-conscious state, my foot slipped, I fell and a stone hit my leg and left a bruise. Well, the bruise helped me in getting closer to him. I couldn’t walk on my own, so he grabbed my hand all along the way. The touch, our first touch it couldn’t be more soothing and complete. My whole body was creeping with the soothing waves; I couldn’t feel anything like I was rendered numb. That was certainly the first day of my life when I understood the importance of touch. I crave for more now, more of him, more of his touch. But how will I make sure that this love is not one-sided? He is so delicate with me all the time making me feel that he loves me so much and at the same time he hasn’t mentioned anything relevant to make me sure of his love.

The night before the full moon, we met and talked about a lot of random things. Before leaving, he rose and stood before me, I was looking upward to see him in the eyes. It seemed like he wanted to ask something from me.

“What is it, Mark?”

“Mariane I, I wanted to ask something and clear certain things if that’s okay with you”

“Sure, ask anything”

“I haven’t been in any relationship before, I haven’t disclosed myself in front of anybody like this before and I haven’t felt the same with anyone else before. So umm I wanted to ask if you feel the same, no strings attached”

What would I have said? It just turned out to be so simple. No melodrama no suffering, no crying. Everything I have been dreaming of was right in front of me. How would I have responded to this beautiful moment of my life?

“I’m not afraid to confess this that I feel the same with you”

“But there are certain things that I need to make sure before we plunge into this”

“Sure” Mariane gasped

“You will not be allowed to forfeit or run away after getting into this relationship with me. You will have to stay with me no matter what you hear or bear, I’ll try to make things a little less complicated for you when the time comes. You don’t know anything about me”

“Yet I do know everything” Mariane cut him off

“Yes you do but umm also there are some other things that you will need to go through while...”

“I’m up for this no matter what, you can count on me, and you won’t regret I assure you”

“Then it’s settled merry pie, oh I’m sorry can I umm call you merry pie if you don’t mind?”

“I would love to be called upon by that name” Mariane chuckled

“It’s just umm I love pies so umm I don’t know it just came out, no offense” Mark chuckled hysterically

They paused for a while, looked into each other’s eyes, they were close, it was about to happen when

“I think we should leave, we should get you home” Mark interrupted in chaos

“Alright” Mariane uttered in a low tone

After getting home, she couldn’t sleep thinking about how her life is going to be changed, she is going to relish every moment with him for the rest of her life. Also, she was stranded by the thoughts of what Mark was trying to hide from her, why he would take this relationship rather as a contract, her thoughts were entangled but the feeling of being in a relationship with her dream guy was conquered and she was feeling extraordinary like the boundless high and low tides of the ocean.

“I couldn’t wait to kiss him; I’ll wait for my pensive moment”

Endless thoughts were casting over Mariane’s mind when she intuitively made her way to the dreams.
