Ahead of us is a small clump of trees, rock and shrubs
lining to ocean beach. Through the trees, you can see
the glow of orange dancing off the trees in the
distance. Something is ahead up the beach and I free
my hand to take yours as we walk side by side.
The warm sand squishes between our toes under the
blanket of stars and blackness of the sky. The smell
of fire drifting in the air as we approach the trees
and the glowing flames on the other side. "I wonder
what's going on over there" I say with a somewhat
sarcastic voice.
We approach the shrubs and trees to make our way
through carefully. The fire burning bright just ahead.
I'm carrying our bag with our wine as we watch our
steps through the brush. As we emerge on the other
side, there is a large secluded patch of sandy beach
surrounded by trees and brush. A fire burns brightly
in a circular pit with a could logs sitting nearby.
Two local men are there. One standing by a makeshift
table and large pot sitting next to the fire with the
flames kissing the sides. Steam flows from out of the
pot merging with the sparks from the fire as they race
to the sky. The black ocean rolling in the distance as
it approaches the beach just before the fire pit.
One of the men wave to us as we emerge from the woods.
I hold your hand to help your balance as you navigate
your last log to find the soft sand once again. The
air is hot from the fire and the warm soft wind of the
night.
"Just a moment" I say and release your hand to
approach the men. You see me greet them with a firm
hand shake and I hand the man something from our bag.
He laughs and you hear "Have fun" slip into the noise
of the air as the men wave once moreand depart into
the woods.
"Come on Sunshine" I say and wave you over. As you
approach I take out our wine glasses again and fill
them before you can get to me and offer you your glass
as you arrive. "For us,and two us" I belt out as I
raise my glass between us. You smell lemon and shell
fish coming from the pot by the fire. On the make
shift table you see some plates and a bowl of
strawberries, some shrimp over ice, and some
miscellaneous over condiments centered by another
bottle of wine. "To a night of dreams and adventure. A
night of good food and the perfect company. May our
dreams come true tonight" I finish the toast with a
large smile on my face.
Your eyes are large and your mouth slightly open with
awe. You struggle to catch your thoughts and voice as
your eyes scan the surroundings again. Without thought
a smile comes to your face as it brightens in the
light of the fire. You look at me and the glow of the
flames is dancing on my skin. Flames reflecting off my
eyes as I look to you for your response. "How did you"
you begin to ask. I smile and laugh some. "It's
amazing what you can arrange when you make friends
with the hotel manager" I respond and laugh.
We drink some of our wine and I take your hand to seat
you on a log by the fire. "Shall we have some dinner"
I ask and begin to organize some plates. "Why don't
you set us up a nice comfortable place to eat" I toss
out as I finish off our plates with a steaming lobster
from the pot. You take our towels and drape them on
the ground and the logs making a place for us to sit
by the fire side by side.
You take your position as I finish up getting dinner
prepared. You take that moment to lay back and stare
into the star speckled sky. Embers floating in the
night air like little bugs in flight as they disappear
into the blackness. You lay there and smile. Your body
tingling with joy. You can feel your heart pounding in
your chest as a rush of joy overtakes you. "This is
perfect" you think to yourself.
With your eyes closed you soak in the moment. Your sun
dress lays loose exposing your legs to the fire and
you feel the intense warmth on your skin. As the fire
crackles you hear me approach opening your eyes to see
me in the shadows approaching with a large plate. I
set the plate by you and the strong aroma of lobster,
and shrimp doused in lemon fills the air. I return
shortly with our wine glasses in hand, each filled
with deep red nectar.
I take a position near you and hand you a napkin. You
take a sip of your wine and reposition yourself. The
plate between us. Each of us sitting on the ground
with our legs crossed and our wine glasses sunk in the
sand so they wont tip over.
With the light only from the fire, everything moves
with the motion of the flames. Intense shadows in
motion in a surrealist setting. On the plate is an
assortment of lobster, shrimp and fish each all
prepared into small bites. Pineapple, and various
other fruits are neatly sliced and surround the inner
feast. Two forks with long handles are poked into the
food facing each of us. A small tub of lemon butter
and garlic centers the platter.
"So what's your pleasure" I ask with a soft smile. "It
all looks so good" you reply and I pick up my fork and
stab a small piece of lobster, dipping it in the
butter sauce and offering it to your mouth with a
large smile. "What cha think" I ask. "Your eyes close
as you take the lobster and a moan of approval flows
from your lips.
"Here, try this" Iadd and offer up another bite of
the white fish. "I think we swam with this guy earlier
today". We both smile and laugh as you take the bite.
An hour passes as we share the dinner before us.
Conversation light and fun. Each of us taking turns
feeding ourselves and each other with tender morsels.
Our eyes locking on each other throughout the dinner
as the surroundings have gone and the moment becomes
our world around us.
