Beneath The Flaws

Beneath all her flaws, only I can see the beauty she holds skin deep.

Every time I look at her glasgow smile, my heart begins to leap. It took her a few months to expose her true beauty to me. The stumps where her legs used to be wiggled in a cheerful dance and I looked into one amber eye and an empty socket. She was beautiful. A broken lolita that I called my own. She let me run my hand along that giant grin of her’s and I can see tears welling up in her eye; this was the first time she let any man see her this way.

I planted a butterfly kiss on her cheek then wiped away the tears escaping from her eye. I lean forward and kissed her passionately; she flinched from the sudden kiss, but kissed back fiercely. I picked her up and sat her on my lap, her thin arms wrapping around my neck. We embraced each other, indulged in each other’s scents, engrossed by a blossoming romance. I felt her warm tears dripping onto my shoulder and I let her weep. I let her shed all woes, anger. hatred, anguishes; I let her shed all the weight that has been crushing her.

“I love you. All of me completely.” She whispered in my ear, holding back tears.

“I love you too. Passionately and deeply.” I whispered back to her, planting a small kiss on her shoulder blade.

    For the first time ever, she sobbed. Even though she had only one good eye, she wept as if she lost a child. I sat there, embracing her so close to my bare chest that I felt her heart drumming against both of our chests. I sat there, planting small kisses upon the crook of her neck and shoulder blade. I rubbed her back soothingly as those tears of her’s fell like raindrops; and once she couldn’t cry no more, I lied her back down on the bed and curled up beside her.

“Tell me what you said to me when we were on our first date.” She muttered.

“One day, I’m going to take you away to somewhere nice. We will get married in a field of flowers and settle down in a quaint home. We will have two kids and both will be boys. We will have a dog who will live it’s days out running in our backyard. Then every single day, when the sun is waking up and you’re still sleeping, I will whisper ‘I love you’ in your ear before I go to work.” I started, taking her hand and intertwining it with mine.

“And we will live the rest of our days in that quaint home as the boys start their new lives somewhere. No happily ever after because that’s for little girls who want to grow up to be princesses. We will just live comfortably and happily.” I continued, kissing her knuckle.

    She chuckled softly then turned her head to look at me, her amber eye meeting my forest green eyes. She kissed my cheek and smiled softly, her permanent grin growing slightly. I chuckled softly and caressed her arm, tracing a tiny birthmark.

“Do you really think I’m beautiful, Claude?” She asked, worried written all over her face.

“Noemi, even if that rotten ex-husband of yours did this to you, I find you the most beautiful woman ever. Your physical flaws make you unique.” I confessed, pushing a stray strand of chestnut hair away from her face.

    She smiled softly and curled up against me, her face burrowed into my chest. I embraced her once again and breathed deeply; I can feel her warm shallow breathes on my chest. I grabbed the blanket and covered the both of us; we both fell asleep in the warm embrace of each other without being aware of the dangers to come to us soon.
