Authors note: This was written for a challenge and had to be built on a song and include two lines. Max words was 1500.
This is my very first song fic I have write.
The summer had come with beautiful weather. For the last two weeks it had been constant sunshine and the temperature had risen everyday. Everywhere you looked you could see the green meadows and trees, with spots of flowers in full bloom. I had as every year, went to my childhood place and began my vacation. This year it happened the same time as the weather; having decided to show itself from its very best side. Could things be better?
I was here in the countryside away from the hectic life in the city and stressful work. In the city I’ve had so many people around me, who seemed to not have a meaning or a specific goal. A lot seem just to follow in the whirlpool. The other half seemed to be caught up in themselves with all too many things to do and too stressed to archive their goal. Working there was tiresome and to get out from that was like a sanctuary, but it also meant that the thoughts about my life would come.
I knew so well that I was one of them, and that I could easily get caught up in the work and stress through the days. And now when I could relax it was so easy to feel lonely and missed things I deliberately choose to put forward or not allowed myself.
During the days I had time to think over what had become of me and what I sacrificed to achieve my goals, these were the things I got scared of. I stated that there always seem to be someone that was left behind of the destiny. Why did it seem like I was one of those? Please someone can you tell me why it have to be so?
So now I was sitting there in the small town café, drinking my lonely cup of tea. I almost spilled the tears in pity and despair into it. I had done it everyday of the last week and the light looked like it got further and further away. How could that be harder to reach than the career and money? Probably it would need to be my next goal. To find the happiness and love of someone that could understand me, see what I needed.
So one day someone above must, have seen me and thought that after all it, must be her time. The time to give her some joy and send a guy her way.
The next day when I came to the café, I bought my cup of tea and went to sit at the table I had always occupied, and saw as my own the latest week I was met by a stranger sitting there. Since it was a small café in this little, picturesque town, all tables were taken and almost every chair. So I walked forward to this dark haired stranger to ask if the chair beside him was taken. I did it because I wanted to drink my tea and not break my daily habit.
Hearing my voice he looked up at me through his dark sunglasses, studied me and said he’d been waiting for me.
There was something special about him, my hands started to shake and I wondered how it came that he’d been waiting for me.
“Please sit down or you’re spilling that everywhere.”
I looked down and saw what he meant and slowly, trying not spill more of my tea I sat down on the empty chair. The air felt electrified and my heart surely felt it.
Before we started to talk and get to know each other I thought that through my work I’d traveled around the world and never seen or met a guy like this. Who could have known that it was here I would meet my Angel? That he was around the corner of ‘the Heaven’.
He introduced himself as Orlando Bloom and no bells rang for me at hearing his name. Though for me it didn’t matter if he’d been a simple man or a well-known man. It was enough that already in my heart I knew he was the star for me. The soul mate I’ve always searched for.
After we drank the first, second and third cup of tea, we decided that it was time to leave the café. He took hold of my hand and we walked around the village. Everything felt so right that time and place disappeared. We reached the beach, took off our shoes and continued our walk on the shore. The heaven were full of tiny little stars reflected in the sea and illuminated the night.
From then I never wanted it to end and I was heard.
I invited him home and from that day Orlando never left my bed. His soul sang to me and mine sang to him.
From that day I didn’t felt so lonely and I knew my days forever would be filled with joy and happiness. Now it was only God who knew what I’d have done if I hadn’t met him. Maybe I’d still have lived like a seed on the wind and taken the love where I could find it from time to time.
He was the guy that always knew what I needed and my lonely days were forever over. I had gotten my Angel and who knew I would meet him around the corner at ‘The Heaven’. My lonely days were over, and I was not destined to be forever alone.
Again and again I come back to that special day I met Orlando. Knowing how lucky I am.
“Darling what are you thinking about, you seem eons from here?”
“Only the summer we met and how happy I am.” I answered.
“That was the best summer of them all.”
“Yes Angel, though you’re missed a spot!”

The song I used as inspiration to the story goes something like this; It is a swedish song song by Lisa Nilsson witten by Marou Sccoco (Himlen runt hörnet)
So many people around me
without meaning and goal
Always is it someone that gets over
Please tell me why it always be so?
Someone above must have seen me and thought
That now it must be her luck.
My luck to meet someone who knew what I needed
It looks like my lonely days forever are over
Because I have heaven around the corner
My own angel in my bed
as the heavens tiny little stars
who sing for me
who sing for you
in a chorus
You are the heaven around the corner for me.
And I traveled around the world
But you was there in front me
And God know what I’ve done
And felt if I hadn’t met you
I lived as a seed for the wind
Took the love as I got it
And the day as it came
But now I have you to know
What I need
It seems like my lonely days
Forever are over
