Vacation here we come

The next day with a few hour's drive we were at the beach house and settled in before sunset. Mark, Ted, Bob and myself, I made a fire on the beach. My mom and Little Moon also joined us to enjoy the view and have relaxation.

It was a different feeling to have dinner on the beach with the sea wind and calmness of the night. Ted and his friend start to sing-song around the on fire. This was the peak of happiness for all of us, just together enjoying a moment.

After a while, I looked around as couldn't see Little Moon around. I started to walk towards the beach where I saw her lying on a mat and watching the stars. No wonder she was nicknamed Moon, as her love for astronomy is bigger than ever. I went to her quietly and lied down beside her.

Even though she felt my presence she didn't make a move. I slowly hold her hand and asked,

"What if it was someone else instead of me?"

"I know it's you, I felt you were coming," she said even looking at me.

"My mom is so happy that she met you."

"She is really sweet. It's a blessing to have a supportive mother like her."

I sat up and laid her head on my lap, while stroking her hair I thought about what she said. It's true. Most parents will not support their children to become an actor. After this week there will be a tight deadline with shooting and post-production for about two to three months. I thought of inviting her to come and stay with me so I can look after her while the filming is going on. But knowing her personality I decided to wait, and take her with me when the time is right.

The sound of the night sea is so calming, like a lullaby. We talked about things for a while. She has already got to start on two new projects and she had been already brainstorming for concepts. Evan a vacation is like a time to gather new ideas for her.

There was no sound from her. When I looked at her she was fast asleep. So I held her and took her back to the villa. My mother was already asleep in their room, so I took her to my room and tucked her in my bed. I untied her braided hair loose. She looked like a goddess with her curly hair spread, calmly waiting to spread her wings. So innocent and pure in her dreams. What must she dreaming about, happy dreams or disturbing ones, I wish I knew.

It's the first time I am sleeping next to her. There was a slight red rose fragrance coming from her perfume. I moved her closer to me and gave her a hug before falling asleep with her. She felt so small in my embrace, so fragile. But I felt as I had got the whole world in my arms, filled with happiness and joy. I looked at her sleepy face and promised her that I will forever keep her happy as she has been the past two months, she has been with me.

-----------------------------------------

I woke up early, as usual, to see that Little Moon was still fast asleep. I covered her up and went out to the living room. I met my mother sipping some tea.

"Good Morning mom"

"Hi George.. do you want me to make some tea."

"No mom. I will wait till she wakes up." I looked at mom. "She slept in my room yesterday night, I didn't want to disturb your sleep."

"If she's safe that's all that matters. Is she still asleep?"

"Yes. She is used to staying up very late. So she wakes up a little late."

"George"

"Yeah mom"

"I hope you are serious about spending the rest of your life with her"

"Mom, I am serious. You know I don't do things without a solid reason. And she is a rare treasure to protect." I looked at my mom.

"You are a celebrity but she.."

"Mom, she is pretty introverted, Mr.D wants me to help her come out of the shell and gain her proper place."

"That's a big challenge you have in hands"

"I think I can win this, I need to be true to myself and be sincere to her."

"I really like her and I really hope you will cherish her."

I went back to the room with some tea and toast for her. She was still asleep curled up in a ball. I opened the curtains and sat beside her. After a few tries of coaxing her to wake up, she opened her eyes.

"Hi, Good Morning little dreamer" I kissed her forehead to wake her up.

"Will you have some tea?" I asked her cuddling her close to me.

"Hmmm..." was all she said.

She had some tea and toast before I let her get out of bed. We all gathered around to breakfast later.

"Sis, where were you last night?" asked Ted in curiosity.

"She was with me, Ted. She fell asleep and I didn't want to wake my mother up. So I let her sleep in my room." I replied to Ted.

"Oh ok...then... I trust you.." He looked at me and said, "Be good to her."

I am glad that Ted approves of me as I was a bit worried he will have a tough time accepting me being with her officially.

I looked at her and my mom, both of them were happily chatting while Little Moon prepared a sandwich for my mother. Seems like my mother has found the daughter she always wanted. I felt really happy to see them so happy together, guess my future will prosper if I can protect both of them with my life.

I had a video talk with Mr.D in the morning, regarding the new production process and we fixed a date to start filming. Even though everything is ready, we thought of getting all double-checked so the filming process can go smoothly. I have a huge responsibility on the whole filming process and keep a secret about Mr.D from Little Moon.
