Going to the beach you thought your heart would jump out of your chest. Your boyfriend wanted you to try cliff jumping. And you loved his " begging puppy face" too much to say "no" to him. So, now you'd have to go head first into the surf for his sake.
He stopped the car on the edge of a 30 feet dive point. Your feet were made of led, but you dragged yourself out. He was acting like a child - so happy you'd decided to share this with him.
He picked you up and twirled you around.
- Baby, I can't believe you finally said "yes"! Carlos said looking into your eyes. His deep brown gaze made you blush as your memories took you to just last night and you looked away so he wouldn't catch on. He kissed your forehead, let you go and took his shirt off.
The sight of him without his clothes on always made you gasp for air. This time was no different. But you didn't let him see. Instead you took off your flowery sarong and threw it on the front seat of his jeep.
- You promise I won't drown? You asked him half out of breath.
- Yes! We'll jump together, honey!
- Ok. You said half reluctant. Half wanting to go back on your word.
- Come on! Carlos took your hand, locked the car and placed the keys safely in his pocket. Let's do this! He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
His happiness was contagious so you went to the edge of the cliff. Looking below you saw the waves crushing on the side of the steep cliff. "How will we get back? Rock climbing?" passed through your mind, but it was already too late.
Carlos swept you off your feet into his strong arms. And you gasped loudly.
- Trust me! He said and jumped.
You screamed but then realized you needed to draw in a deep breath so you wouldn't drown. Your heart started pounding like crazy as the water approached in slow motion - like a movie you saw from outside your own body.
Right before your bodies hit the water you kissed your crazy boyfriend on the lips. He was surprised but even as the water engulfed your bodies he kept you close and kissed you back. A swarm of air bubbles flew around your faces as you parted lips and started paddling to get to the surface.
- You're insane! You told Carlos once you got to the surface. He just smiled. Let's do that again! This time I can do it by myself.
Carlos laughed and got a mouth full of salty water. You began to swim for the shore and he followed you at your pace.
- Thank you. You told him once your feet were well planted on solid ground.
- For?
- Making my stupid fear go away. I love you so much!
- I love you too, baby! Carlos said and kissed you lips lightly as you took the dust path back to the top of the cliff.
