It had been a long hard day for the Nomad Crew. Though he could hardly keep his eyes open, Sinbad wasn't able to sleep. He thought- how so often in the last time- of Bryn. With the time he travelled with her, he slowly realised how he felt for her. He knew that there was something more than friendship.
After midnight as everything was quiet on the Nomad, he got up. He just couldn't sleep and so he decided to get a little bit fresh air. But on his way up on deck, he passed the door to Bryn's cabin. He stopped and got in. Bryn was sleeping yet. For Sinbad, she looked like an angel- an angel with dark hair and dark eyes. Sinbad felt the magic all around her. He sat down beside her and reminded a song he had heard a few weeks ago:
I could stay awake
Just to hear you breathing
Watch your smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life
In this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spend with you is a moment I treasure
Don't want to close my eyes
Don't want to fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you, baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what's you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
And then I kiss your eyes
And thank god, we're together
I just want to stay with you
In this moment forever
I don't wan to miss one kiss
I don't want to miss one smile
I just want to be with you
Right here with you
Just like this
I just want to hold you close
And feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Sinbad sighed and touched Bryn on the cheek. She smiled. "You must have a beautiful dream, Bryn", whispered he.
"Sinbad", Bryn whispered in her sleep.
Sinbad smiled. She says his name in sleep? "I love you Bryn", Sinbad whispered and got up.
In this moment Bryn opened her eyes. "Sinbad? What are you doing here?".
Sinbad shrugged his shoulders. "I just wanted to see if you're alright."
Bryn got up to and looked into Sindbad eyes. "I'm alright, though you waked me up. But what is with you? Why are you awake?"
Sinbad shrugged his shoulders again. "I wasn't able to sleep. I had to think about some... difficult things..."
"Difficult things?", asked Bryn.
Sinbad nodded. He looked away, somewhere in the darkness. "I thought about us. About my feelings for you....", he whispered. "That's why I'm sitting here in the night. In the last days I realised what you mean to me. I think I'm in love with you" He felt a hand on his cheek. Slowly he turned his face to Bryn who looked at him. In her eyes he saw the thing he was always searching for- love.
"I love you too, Sinbad", Bryn said before they lent forward to kiss each other.
The End
