They lay on the olive green blades of grass, undulating in the spring breeze caressing the lush green meadow. The air was intoxicated by the diffusing fragrance of gladiolas, lilies and a handful of other floras, and a flock of canaries chirruped on a nearby mahogany. Their interlocked fingers separated for a split second, as he disentangled a golden brown leaf from her dark black tresses. Brushing the dead leaf away, he glanced at her. She was grinning furtively, as if amused by some secret joke. He asked, intrigued ,'' You look highly entertained'', he inquired with a half puzzled, half curious expression.
She tucked few of her rebellious strands behind her ears, as her lips curled up in an even more mysterious smile, 'I won't tell, obviously'', and winked, mischievously.
Undeterred he pressed on, 'you know you shouldn't be keeping secrets from your other half. It's a crime', he smirked, his eyebrows arched in an ersatz indignation.
She giggled and her charcoal eyes danced playfully, ' Oh I'm going to believe that am I?. Tsk, Tsk, not convincing enough .''
He sighed, simulating disappointment, ''Well I'll just have to accomplish it the hard way then.,' and grabbed her around the waist.
She burst into peels of laughter. Squealing at the top of her lungs, she tried to struggle free, in vain albeit, as his strong, sinewy wrists had found that one vulnerable point on her pelvis. Guffawing boisterously, she finally succumbed to his 'harassment'. ''okay fine I'll tell you''.
He stopped abruptly, and imitated a posture of rapt attentiveness, ' Yes,go on'', not taking his eyes off her breathtaking visage.
'I was actually thinking ummm..,' she fumbled with words, as her face turned deep crimson, in embarrassment. ''You know,'' she stammered ,'' kids''.. she finished her sentence with great difficulty, and stole a brief glance at his face.
It was not bewilderment, not shock. Not amusement, not disbelief.
All she saw were a pair of eyes radiating warmth and affection. Unconditional and unbounded..
The sky was was a bright, delinquent orange, and red..as twilight approached like a fugitive..
While two hearts shared an enchanting silence..
She woke up with a start. It was over.
Welcome chaos.
