Third person

They waltz towards the centre of the garden.
Soft music playing in the background coupled with the rustling sound of leaves and stream burbles as it travels along its bed.

Noah encircled his hand around the slender waist of harmony scooting her closer to him.

Harmony placed her hands on his shoulder , lifting her eyelids she gazed directly into Noah eyes. The look in his eyes was distinct something unexplainable. Her heart beat increased suddenly while butterflies erupted in her stomach performing somersault. She turned crimson red under his gaze.

This was quite a new kinda experience for harmony, she never felt this strange sensation with anyone before not even with Ian.

"Wait, is that a blush I see on your cheek?! " Noah commented tracing his finger on her cheek bones.

Anxiety welled up in her stomach due to their close proximity. Instead of replying she just lowered her head moving closer to him and hiding her face in his chest.

She was welcomed by rosewood scent. Closing her eyes she inhaled his scent enjoying the buzz.

Noah wrapped both his hands around her waist while they waltz slowly enjoying the soothing background music.

Noah was very happy holding harmony in his arms. He couldn't stop grinning.

After what felt like eternity, harmony lift her head to look at Noah. They were so close that their nose tips were almost touching.

He stared at her electrifying blue eyes getting lost in the ocean like eyes. Without his knowledge his thumb had reached to stroke harmony cheek making the hair behind her neck bristle.
He moved his hand behind her neck  all the while his eyes didn't leave hers. He pulled her more closer to him, his hot breath fanning her face.

Everything around fell silent, all she could hear was her heartbeat. Noah gaze lowered to her lips and back to her eyes. Shiver ran down her spine when he leaned more closer to her. She closed her eyes holding her breath and next moment she felt soft lips pressed against hers. The kiss was like the moment between lighting and thunder.

Her hands seemed to run along his broad shoulders and wrapping around his neck. One of his hand ran all over her back making her go weak on her knees. He pressed her more closer to her deepening the kiss. His lips moving against hers as if she was soft flower.

After what felt like perpetuity they pulled apart gasping for air.

Noah smiled at harmony tucking a rogue strand of her hair behind her ear gently.
Cupping her face he pulled her closer and placed a lingering kiss on her forehead.

"Am I disturbing something?! " Evelyn voice made them jump apart.

"Wrong timings! " Noah muttered, Evelyn saw between them for few times, "Aish! He is kidding. " Harmony slapped Noah arm laughing.
