*

At the first shadows of the night, when the great, orange sun was just merely hanging over the horizon, you slipped into a light, thin jacket to protect your arms from the cool chills. Even during the midst of summer, the nighttime air could nip at your skin if you stayed exposed for extended lengths of time. You knew you were going to be out for awhile, so you even wore your thickest socks to keep your toes warm for the evening's aura.

You were finally at the bottom of the elegant staircase, calmly waiting for the man upstairs to make his way down. He had requested for your company, alone, together someplace where he pleased. You were both anxious and delighted to know just what he had in mind. Hopefully he'd come down in time.

At last, Elton emerged at the top of the steps, walking down like a lavish model in his thousand-dollar boots and jacket. He always looked stunning in the clothes he wore, but this time tonight he looked more than just proper. He looked impeccable; perfect. Covering his torso and chest was a red and black suit, adorned with sparkles around the collar and neck. Inside his pocket was a beautiful little red rose and handkerchief- it was so flawless it looked fake. You couldn't help but to stare in awe as he gracefully made his way down the staircase, mesmerized the sound of his boots clacking down each individual step. He approached you, with a kind look in his eyes, and then you noticed that he was missing his glasses.

"Elton," You smiled, still bewildered by his astounding charm, "Where are your glasses?"

"I don't need them." He came down, level to your gaze and smiled, "I'd like to see your face under the moonlight with my own two eyes for once."

Heart beat slowly rising, you couldn't help but to crack a small smile his precious comment. You both remained eye contact for awhile, a sweet lull, until Elton peered over your shoulder at the kitchen counter behind you.

"I'd like to go grab you something real quick." He slightly rushed, heading for the kitchen to retrieve a little goodie. When he returned, he held a delicious looking vanilla and chocolate milkshake in a fragile glass; topped with whip cream and a shiny red cherry.

He handed it to you and you took it graciously, until he said,

"I was going to make two, one for myself and one for you. But I ran out of milk at the last minute. So I let you have it."

"Oh, thank you Elton," You smiled to yourself, though he could see, "But I don't mind sharing it with you."

He looked up at you and scratched his neck.

"I'm not going to finish this all by myself anyways." You continued.

"You sure?" He asked, looking to repeat whether he had your permission to drink it or not.

"Yes, I'll share." You reassured.

"Great, I wanted to give it a try myself!" He grinned, but he then told you that you could take the first sip anyways.

It was very thick, but it was tempting and savoring as it went into your mouth. Some began to drip down your chin and you licked your lips- he sure knew how to make great shakes!

"Elton, this is very good. Try it." You handed him the drink and he happily took the second sip from the same straw. His eyebrows rose as high as they could.

"Oh dear, you're right! This is fantastic. I'm pleased I can make a shake!" He laughed, for he was very content and satisfied with this new talent he discovered.

You and Elton continued to sip it a few more times until a sudden, urgent desire in your chest took over. It was time to ask what he had planned for you.

"Hey," You looked up at him and meekly tried to hide a blush, "W-what were we going to do tonight, anyways?"

With gentle, deep hazel eyes, he smiled at you in a way that no other man could do. It successfully sent your heart pleasantly aflutter,

"I want to take you to my garden," He pointed, "And it's out in the backyard. Come with me, darling."

He took your hand and began to tug you in his direction, but you resisted momentarily.

"What? Wait, your garden?" You tilted your head in confusion, "How can we see-"

"You'll be able to see, baby, it's not dark. There's many special surprises awaiting for you there." He began to sound like a little boy, desperately trying to impress his school crush.

You spoke louder, "You sound crazy, have you gone mad?"

He laughed and shook his head sweetly, "No, no I promise, you'll love this garden. Trust me." And he pulled you along with him outside into the starry night, unable to leave the tasty milkshake behind, either.

It was cool outside, but not as cold as you imagined, so you took off your jacket and held it the rest of the way. The wind was slow and peaceful, and a sentimental breeze drifted past your face and skin. It was so mild, and yet it took your breath away. Soon after that, you almost began to smell romance in the air, and you began to brood quietly to yourself how you were spending a rare, exquisite night with your favorite person in the world. You weren't entirely sure, but your body and the environment were giving you all the clear signals that you were undoubtedly in love. Yet you still lacked the faith in the night though.

After a brief walk down some dark, grassy fields, you and Elton found yourselves at the grand entrance of his garden. You were immediately stricken by its captivating beauty! Deep green, freshly cut shrubs bordered around the garden to conceal its magnificence, but what you found inside was even more astonishing. Though you could only take a peek, you saw what seemed like lights and reflective blue water, several wooden bridges and several beds of colorful, pretty flowers.

Gaping at Elton, you felt as if you were suddenly walking on air and you stopped in your tracks.

"E-Elton!" You cried, "Look at this place! It's... it's just beautiful!"

He turned his shoulder and laughed heartily, "Oh honey, I knew you would love it."

"How in the world is a heavenly place like this exist on earth?"

He chuckled softly, then you felt the back of his hand touch yours. Still staring at him in awe, you felt around his skin and wrapped your fingers around his gently. Together you began to walk inside the celestial paradise.

"And this is just the beginning." He told you as you both went forth.

Inside the garden was exactly what you expected and more- a gorgeous, wide pond that bend and stretch like a river throughout the trees and land. Tall weeping willow trees and evergreens that towered over you to protect you from the heat of the summer sun. Fields of pansies, daisies, sunflowers, roses and tulips scattered across each blank patch of crisp green grass. To your left, you saw tall lanterns hanging from tree branches that provided adequate, warm light into the entrance of the garden.

Elton took your jacket from your hands and hung it up on branch.

You were further shocked at these sights, but this time you remained silent, for words have escaped you with the breezes in the air. You could hear the trees howling gently in the wind, and then you heard something strange. It sounded like an animal, a bird, but not the pigeons and doves you were familiar with. This was a larger bird. A magpie? No, too chirpy. A duck? Not quite, but closer. You looked at Elton, who raised an eyebrow right back at you. Then, he began to sprint for the direction of the sound.

"Come on, I think I know what this is." He shounted.

Elton had your hand so you had no choice but to follow. You clutched the condensating milkshake in your other hand firmly as you jumped and leaped over rocks and trails. At last, you both stopped with what unbelievable sight casted upon your naive eyes.

"I can't believe it." Elton stood in front of the mystical pond as a droplet of mist hit his eye. He wiped it, and then and there appeared two pure white, beautiful swans floating elegantly above the moonlit waters.

You peeked around his shoulder and once again gaped at what you saw.

"Elton! Oh! Look at-"

"Sssshhhh," His finger covered your lips firmly, "You don't want to scare the poor things."

So you stood there beside Elton and watched the extraordinary birds swim along their own ways in the black night. You had never, ever seen a swan before. Nor have you experienced such a tender moment with any other person until now. Everything stunned you now, and you felt the romance grow stronger and stronger with each step inside his mysterious garden.

"Honey, let's sit somewhere, okay?" Elton got things moving for you two and found an earthy, friendly tree to sit under. You followed him under the branches and leaves and plopped down on the ground beside him. A lantern lit up the area so you could see each other's faces beneath all the shadowy overcasts. The pond and the swans remained within sight for you two to observe.

You sighed, then felt a cool breeze swirl in between the leaves and lick your arm. Instinctively, you scooted closer to Elton's body to keep warm under the moon.

"Hey..." You spoke softly, "This is... so romantic."

His arms reached around your back and shoulders and he drew you into his loving arms. You didn't resist at all, leaning on his chest and wrapping your own arms all around him. Your favorite thing in the world was to give this man a heartfelt hug.

"Heh heh, yeah? You think so?" He laughed quietly in your ear.

He was pleasantly sarcastic about it.

"Darling, I wanted to tell you a few things while we're here tonight." He began.

"Yeah? What's that?" You asked, gazing up at him. His cheeks looked rounder than ever at this angle. His chin was kinda cute. But what you noticed the most was how tempting his plump, pink lips looked to kiss. You held your breath before the butterflies in your chest could eat you alive.

"I just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me." Elton shyly smiled, breaking eye contact with you to look at the swans, moon, and other mysteries of the night.

He cleared his throat, "Well first, I mean, I think you're the funniest girl in town."

Your world began to spin with his comments.

"Really? I make you laugh?"

"All the time, sweetheart, I-I enjoy our time together."

He paused for a moment, then looked up at the stars. He was lost in thought now, and your eyes followed with his into the vast, spacey, black skies. You felt your heartbeat increase as you laid across this man's chest, drinking the milkshake together in harmony and peace. You felt nervous around him, even though the setting was quite splendid in itself, and you weren't able to comprehend why.

"I also-" he continued, "I also feel like sometimes you're the only person I can trust."

"Trust?" You continued staring at the celestial sky.

"Heh," He laughed softly under his breath, "Nevermind. You're just so humble and sweet, especially for me. I like that about you."

His words remained in your head for awhile. Trust. Humble. Sweet. Where was he going with this? How would you tell him that you too felt the same way?

"Elton..." You sighed, but smiled deep from within your heart, "You're such a gentlemen yourself."

This time he looked at you with a bit of shock. You were both learning so much about each other.

"Just the way you do things for me, like tonight. You didn't have to dress all up. You didn't need to make me a shake. Or even take me to this perfect garden. Oh gosh, I- I can never get over how caring you are."

"Becuase I care about you." He suddenly said, slouching down to look at you. You turned your head and gazed into his gentle eyes, and once again you could feel the butterflies rile up in your heart.

"...I know you do, Elton." You whispered affectionately across his smooth collarbone. Finally, you couldn't resist but to wrap your arms around his neck and head now. He had such an alluring touch and feel across your fingers. His skin was so soft.

He closed his eyes becuase he loved how you touched him, but he continued to speak to you.

"And mmmm," He faintly moaned, "You are so beautiful."

You stopped rubbing his neck and he opened his eyes, only to meet you with a piercing stare. You could not do much but sit there in a trace, unable to grasp the words that came through this wonderful man's mouth.

"You think I'm-?"

"You're more beautiful than these stars up in the sky." He interrupted.

You listened intently.

"You're more beautiful than those swans over there."

He pointed to the swans gently swimming in the blue waters.

"And this whole garden."

You looked at him, and you couldn't stop a smile from forming- in fact you smiled so big you were afraid you looked like a dork.

"Really? Oh Elton..."

"You're really just the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

Deep emotions stacked up higher and higher in your chest until you couldn't hold it all in anymore. This man you cherished so deeply, now calling you beautiful, along with the romantic endeavors of the night- it was becoming extremely hard now not to kiss him. You were beginning to really believe that you had found the one.

You started to caress his next again and whispered beside his ear, "I... I think you're unbelievably handsome yourself..."

You were unable to speak normally- your voice broke every single time you tried to express anything louder. The pent up feelings inside were excruciate to carry inside you any longer. You knew you wanted more from him. You wanted something...

Elton blinked slowly and stared at your delicate cheeks. He began to frown.

"Darling, you're crying, why?" He sweetly asked; his face was uneasy and red himself now.

You didn't understand what he meant. Crying? Certainly nobody was crying here. But then you felt somehting itching your cheek, and you rubbed it on your shoulder to scratch it. A wet drop bled through your shirt, and then another, and another, and suddenly your vision of Elton became distorted. He was blurred, along with the leaves and trees and blue waters. You could see nothing right, but you could feel all the passion in your heart now being released.

You rubbed your watering eyes with your fingers now, and a low sob cried from deep inside body.

"I just... I can't believe we're here, talking like this to each other right now!" You tried very hard to hold back more tears. A few still escaped.

He took this fingers and attentively brushed all your tears away. With the anxiety calming inside your heart, you leaned forward sighed into his chest. You never felt such affection and fondness for a person in your life like this- he was the cushion that protects you from each fall, he was always alert and aware of your needs, and he was the most sweetest gentleman you could ever dream of.

He suddenly held you deep down into his arms now, and you felt nothing but joy seep out from your soul. You could hear his warm heartbeat, gently beating against your ear, and you buried your face into his shirt and chest hair for his heat. The night was really not so cold at all. Maybe it was becuase you were falling in love.

Elton suddenly took out the rose from his suit pocket, and put it in your hair playfully while holding you beside his heart.

"Heheh, Elton..." You giggled, shaking the rose out of your hair.

"Wot? You don't like it?" He teased.

You took the rose and put it up to your nose to smell the fresh, pretty fragrance hidden in the petals. It was a little dull, but the smell was still there. As you held the flower, Elton tilted his head and brought his nose to the flower, too. Suddenly, you both found yourselves face-to-face, smelling and admiring the flower's beauty.

Elton's longing eyes met yours as your noses began to touch. The reflection in his eyes looked intense. But not in a way that made you uncomfortable. His overall emotions, his passion, was overflowing from his spirit to yours. That's how you knew you wanted him. His every concern, sensitivity and affection toward you fed you, and became what you now looked forward to the most.

And then you found yourself suddenly muttering words you couldn't control.

"Can we stay like this for the rest of the night...?"

His nose pressed up against yours further as he suddenly gave out a laugh to himself- his cute, round and burly cheeks turning rosey red like the flower. He started to take on a look of innocence, almost childish. At last, he spoke in a little cartoon character's voice.

"Ya like to smell flowers with me, dear?" He chuckled excessively to himself, then- while your noses still pressed- you could feel his hands reach out for your chin and neck very gently.

"I like smelling flowers too." His childish voice was slowly fading. You could sense his touch feeling firmer across your neck. A rush of thrill and excitement caused a lump in your throat and you found it rather difficult not to clench your fists together. This man was a lot to take in all at once!

Elton's voice then dropped low, though he still looked incredibly playful.

"But you know what I'd like to do more?" He locked eyes once more time and it was that exact moment when you gave in and became instantly weak in the knees.

Somehow you both found that moment where everything was just right. Everything was cleared from your minds. No hesitation. No second thoughts. The mood was absolutely perfect and you both knew it, and took advantage of the pure romantic night. There was nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to fear. When you moved the rose and he began to draw his lips near, you willingly leaned in with him and kissed his sweet, soft lips for as long as you could.

He loved it so much that you could feel him melting through the kiss. His hands moved all over across your next as he couldn't keep control. It was such hot romance and blatantly thrilling that you couldn't help but to marvel at the sexual prowess you both created together. It was exactly what you wanted from Elton the whole time. And exactly what he wanted to give you.

It was several solid minutes before you both felt the urge to breathe and take in what love you both discovered. Reluctantly, but eventually, you both parted your lips and licked each other's 'wet love' from your mouths. That was a kiss you never felt such deep in your heart before. Surely a kiss where nothing would ever be quite like it. And certainly, a moment you both will cherish forever.

So you hugged him. Becuase everything you did together was so worth it. And after a kiss like that, you couldn't help but to feel emotional.

"I could kiss you again. And again. A hundred times. No, a thousand times!" Squealing into Elton's arms, you buried your head down in his curly, dark chest hairs and smiled from ear to ear. Oh how happy you felt! Was it ever possible to feel any more delighted with life?

"I think I'm in love with you!" You giggled, kissing his collarbone and nibbling his neck. His love was so overwhelming for you.

"Think?" Elton gaped, looking down at your enthused grin. He suddenly began to laugh.

"If you only think we're in love after that kiss, then we did it wrong and should try it again!"

In a split second your eyes lit up. How would you deny an invitation as appealing as that? Suddenly you were extremely thankful for what you said. And in just a few moments, you were both intoxicated with wicked love and passion, going right at it again.
