Celine smiles (Part 7: First shot)

 

The stars dominated the night sky as the purple and blue flashes embrace the moon. Every star shines in its own way and every second that passes by, the darker everything around me becomes but I didn’t mind this time as I know where to look.

Unknowingly, I looked at Celine and I also saw the awe and amazement she have. Her arrogant grin was replaced with a childlike smile. I fear the dark for as long as I know, I don’t know about her. But maybe all this time we just didn’t know where to look.

Looking up again, I felt a shiver as someone was looking at me. At first I didn’t mind as I was busy piecing together some constellations but then I looked at the direction she where I feel like being watched and it was Celine. She smiled at me for a second and looked away immediately.

“Okay, sightseeing is over, take some pictures you too” Jay said as he pointed the camera at the sky.

“I don’t have one” I said

“Celine, lend him yours”

“What?! But Jay!”

“Don’t make me repeat myself” in the moment Jay’s voice shifted from friendly dad to an authoritative dad.

Celine walked towards me as I fear what she would do I am prepared to run. However, upon seeing the darkness beneath me I decided to compose myself and ask her nicely.

“Here, I already set this up for you” she said with a faint whisper

“Thanks”

I pointed the camera at the night sky and it was more beautiful zoomed in. I pressed the button and a click sound was made.

“Let me see!” Jay exclaimed

I showed it to the two of them

“Not bad” Celine said, she was going to tap may shoulder but she awkwardly moved her hand when Jay noticed and smiled. It was painful to watch.
