Loving Bella - Elizabeth Bonet (each kindness read aloud txt) 📗

the stars! You can’t see them during the day but when the night comes with his blanket of black and blues, they shine so brilliantly you have to wonder. Do they make their own sounds? Are they musical? Your flute is just a few pieces of metal with wholes in it but with this simple tool you could play the most glorious symphony.”
Suddenly Bella stopped, feeling as though she was prattling on mindlessly. She looked over to see Jacob staring at her, a bright smile on his face; his eyes bright in admiration. Feeling awkward, Bella sat up quickly straightening her shirt and jeans before wiping any dirt off of herself. “I’m sorry.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. Jake sat up, one long leg stretched out before him and the other bent to prop his elbow. “What for?”
Bella looked away as if in shame. “I shouldn’t have talked on like that.” Jake grinned as he stood, taking note at how the little blade of grass she had been chewing on now hung from her hair; making a stark contrast between it’s bright green color and the dark brown mass of curls around her head. This blade of grass made her look all the more innocent in her tender vulnerability. Taking a step forward he plucked the grass from her hair and smiled. Tapping her on the tip of her nose ever so gently with it; picking up her hand, he placed the blade of grass in it.
Looking up only with his soft, gray eyes he kissed her palm. “Don’t be. If there’s ever one thing I really love about you it’s the fact that you are so sincere in you relationship and questions about God. I really admire that. So don’t you worry ‘bout a thang honey. He loves you for it and I do to.” Throwing a wink, he picked her up onto his shoulders for their walk back to his truck, not giving her any form of warning. Bella’s surprised, girlish giggles could be heard though out the forest, if not their small town itself.
