A Blaze Of Love By Midnight
By: Kenny K
My last writting I dedicated to the ones who made it all posible.
This one I dedicate to the wildest teacher in the world.
Ms. Williams
Who was positive and supportive of my ideas, including the production of the piece.
“Go on girl!”



Before you read this short story of mine, I would like to point out that though I 
have no lover, I cannot portray the true feelings and emotion that true lovers have.  
I can only express what I feel and present what my limited pallet of  emotions for 
love can allow, so I can only make an almost perfect effect.  This is unfortunate 
but unavoidable, for true love can only be expressed when it is shared
with another with the same love.  So I apologize for the unfulfilled effect.
Enjoy !

     The night was calm and serene over Megakat City. The sky was clear and
the stars twinkled above in the midnight sky. The moons soft translucent glow of pale-
yellow cut through the warm summer air and it casts its light over the city, reaching
all the way to the beaches where its light shimmered and sparkled over the soft 
ripples of the water.  The water acted as a living mirror, molding and shaping the
glazed image of the moon, the stars and the sky reflected in the rippling water’s
surface.  The light of the moon, the stars and the sky wavered and danced over 
the shiney surface of the water as it worked its way up to the sandy shores.  As
the dancing lights ascended upon the beach, a new light joined the dancing array.
The flickering orange glow of a warm fire, occupied by a couple, burned silently
afar from the shores of the beach.

     The couple sat apart, eyes focused on each other, taking measure of one another 
and liking what they saw.  Chance sat across from his fiance, Filena.  His eyes 
caressed her form, taking in every detail.  He watched her over the fire.  She sat 
cross-leged in the sand.  She wore a pair of denim shorts, exposing her long, beautiful 
legs.  In her lap rested her small, folded paws that wore a beautiful cat’s-eye engagement 
bracelet her lover had given her. It rested on her right wrist where it seemed to sparkle 
when the light of the dancing flames before them shot it’s glance at her.  The Atakata
Island t-shirt she wore with the picture on the front of her and Chance that they
had taken on their last trip to Atakata Island.  Her face, to him, was the most 
beautiful face in the world.

     He admired her smile, soft, sweet, warm and full of love.  Her long, black 
hair fluttered in the gentle breeze, as did the white streaks of hair that ran down
the sides of her head.  They interlaced in a dazzling mix of black and white,
creating an effect Chance considered “wild”.  He yearned to take her in his arms,
to not only feel the comfort and pleasure of her gentle touch and the warms of her
soft brown fur but to absorb the firey radiance of her love and bask in her heavenly
embrace as she would in his.  Their eyes once again met.  He looked into her eyes,
her beautiful, brown eyes that not only reflected the light of the fire and her lover’s
profile but from inside, a feeling, a love that surfaced in abundance.  It could
only be seen by Chance, for his heart, like the fire, burned for her - and her only.
     Felina could see her lover’s feelings and love, for like the fire, her heart 
burned only for him.  Their eyes said things words could not express.  Their love
was immense.  It blazed with a fire of passion and stature.  Locked and bound with
the chains of eternity.  Their hearts burned greater and more radiant than the fire
in which they sat around.  As did Chance, Felina studied his form, taking in
every detail.  Like her, he sat in the sand.  Like her, he wore a pair of denim
shorts, revealing his legs of muscle and build.  His torso, bared and seemed to
glow in the light of the fire.  His tan colored fur and brown stripes were like 
shadows in the flickering light.  She marveled at the sight of his abdominals, the
way the muscles stood out as many individuals.  She thought that the firmness of 
them, as well as the rest of him, resembled that of rocks.

      The sight of his god-like upper half excited her, with its clearly defined mucles, 
again standing out as many individuals.  His shoulders broad with mass and bulk,
stood out in a sight of power and dominence as did his arms rippling and tight from 
massive muscular build, ending with paws of wonderous emotion and strength. His great 
paws of power and fury raged like the fires of hell, with the power and strength of a 
god.  But yet, they could be so calm and sentimental, like the summer breeze that 
blew through her long black hair with the interlacing white streaks, and as gentle
as a mother’s loving touch.  His god-like appearance to her was exciting yet soothing, 
intimidating yet protective, especially when she looked at his face, so strong and 
proud and yet so gentle and kind.  And there was so much more, more than a single 
thought could think.  More than words themselves could say.  And the possibilities 
were infinite, only giving her more to love and to cherish.

     Chance, still holding the urge to take Felina in his arms, was now overwhelmed by 
it.  He stood and walked around the fire to where his lover sat.  He sat close to her and
put his arm around her waist.  She leaned into him and took his free paw.  They
sat there and basked in the heat and random movement of the fire, and in the love
and warmth of each other’s close presence.  They gazed into the wild blaze of the
fire for a while before they brought their attention to the blaze of emotions burning
in each others eyes.  Within burned the flames of love and compassion, lust and
excitement and the sworn truth of their unspoken, yet to be said words. 
	“Felina”, Chance spoke softly.  “I love you so much.  Your the most wonderful 
thing that’s ever happened to me in my whole life.  I’ll love you always, and I’ll keep on 
loving you until the day I die and go on into the afterlife, where I’ll carry the
love I hold for you in my soul for all eternity.  Never to have it fade and die.”

	“Oh, Chance.  I love you too.  I’ll always love you, but most of all right now.
I can’t wait until our wedding where I’ll become Mrs. Felina Furlong”, she
replied with a smile.  

	“Me neither”, Chance whispered back softly.  

      He withdrew his paw from hers and wrapped it around her waist, so he now embraced 
her.  His relentless urge to take her in his arms was now satisfied.  She returned his 
embrace by putting her arms around his neck.  She pulled him close, and 
they kissed each other passionately as they lowered themselves to the sand, she on top 
of him.  They continued to embrace each other and kiss each other passionately as 
the light of the moon, the stars and the sky that ascended onto the shore of the 
beach stealthily crept its was up to the blazing fire and the couple and swept their
watchul gaze from behind the lights over them.

      Chance and Felina never knew and never would know that they were being watched, not 
by another kat but by the watchul gaze of heaven’s lights and the eyes of God as 
they basked in the love and passion of one another.  They knew for certain that, unlike 
the fire, their flame for one another would never die out.
