Chapter 2: "I'm Here"

Sunlight was peeking into a little cave, with two secret agents inside, asleep on the leaves. Anita woke up and looked around her. Her and Victor were still trapped in the woods, so it wasn't all just a dream.

Anita sat up and looked around. It was daylight. Time to get outta here. "Victor. Victor, wake up." Anita shook him. Victor groaned. "Come on if you wanna get outta these woods." Anita laid on her stomach so she could see Victor's face. He looked so cute right now. Anita didn't even realize that she was moving closer to his face. Victor opened up his eyes and saw Anita looking at him only inches away from him. When he saw Anita close to his face he jumped.

"Aahhh!" Victor screamed and then he started to blush. Anita laughed.

"I'm sorry, Victor." Anita giggled. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"No! You would never scare... I - I - I just got... startled." Victor sat on his knees and brushed himself off from the crunchy, dead leaves.

Anita giggled again. "Okay. So, are you ready to go?"

"Well, I need to shower first, put on some new clothes, then brush my teeth, oh wait a minute... there is no bathroom in this forest!" Victor yelled.

"But we got the river I'm afraid." Anita added. Victor just ignored the comment and crawled out of the small cave.

Victor sighed. "Lets just go." Anita looked at him. This was going to be a long day.

A few weeks have gone by and they were still finding a way out of the woods. Victor and Anita have been eating off of berries, apples, and drinking out of the river. Not even got in the water once to bathe, thinking about all of the filthy animals that have been in it.

"Something stinks around here." Anita and Victor held their noses. "I think something died out here." Anita said muffled.

"I want to go find out." Victor said and he started to follow the smell with his nose. He lifted his head in the air to get a good trail of the smell like a dog would, which made Anita laugh. Anita started doing the same thing. They went around a tree and around bushes, but they did not know where the smell was coming from. Then all of a sudden, their noses went around a tree and then facing towards each other.

"It's you!" Victor and Anita pointed at each other. "Ohhhh!" They both yelled and held their noses.

"Oh, we've been out here a few days and we haven't been showered." Victor said.

"I am not bathing in that filthy river!"

"We have to, Anita. It's our only chouse. Either bathe in the river or just stink the rest of the time."

Anita thought for a moment. She was not the kind of person who would go around stinking like a wet dog. She was more of a cleanieness person. Anita looked at Victor and nodded lightly.

A few minutes went by, Victor and Anita had approached a little waterfall. A perfect spot to clean themselves up. Victor and Anita got in the water and walked to the waterfall. The water wasn't that deep, it was up to their stomachs, but it was deep enough for them to take a bath. Victor and Anita will have to take turns.

"You go behind those rocks and hand me your clothes. I'll stay behind here and wash them while you go shower." Victor said.

Anita nodded and went behind the boulder and took off her clothes, except for her bra and panties. Anita came out and handed Victor her clothes. His was already in his arms ready to wash.

"I'll let you know when I'm done and I'll finish this if you're not done with it when I get back."

"Okay." Victor watched as Anita disappeared under the water and then appearing under the waterfall. He shouldn't be watching her take her shower, so he went behind the rocks and started soaking their clothes. Somehow, he couldn't help but just take a little peek at her. Victor put their clothes on a rock and crouched down behind the big rock and slowly stuck his head out. He saw Anita soaking her body in the waterfall. Victor's mouth hung wide open. He has never seen her so beautiful. Watching her was starting to make him feel... NO! He can't think like that! He can't think about it! Victor snapped out of his thoughts and went back to wash their clothes. What was he thinking? Watching Anita take her shower like some creepy pervert. Victor sighed and all of a sudden he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Anita asked.

Victor just shrugged off the feeling when he saw Anita's almost naked body soaking wet. "Y-y-y...yeah. I'm fine." And Victor gave Anita a little smile.

Anita smiled. "The shower's all yours." Anita said. "And there's a cave on the other side if you wanna meet in there." Anita grabbed their clothes out of his hands. "I'll finish this and you go get cleaned up."

"Alright." Victor said and he swam over to the waterfall. It was getting deeper the further he got, then it got shallow as he approached the cave behind the waterfall. Anita was done bathing their clothes and went over to where Victor was. Anita didn't know that Victor was in his underwear bathing, so Anita closed her eyes when she approached him.

"It's alright Anita. You can look. I'm good." Victor said when he saw her and Anita opened her eyes. Anita placed their clothes on a rock out of the water and looked at Victor with a worried look. "What's wrong?" Victor asked.

"We're gonna bathe like this for the rest of our lives, aren't we?" Victor looked to Anita. They've been traveling for days and they have not even found a road or an old house from the 1800's.

"I suppose." Victor frowned. "Anita." Victor said.

"Yes?"

Victor just looked at her. "I... if something happens to me... will you come with me?" Anita looked in his eyes. "Would you die with me?"

"Only if you'll do the same thing for me." Anita said.

"I promise." Victor said when he put his hand on her face. "I love you... I always have." Victor whispered. Anita leaned in closer to Victor.

"I love you too." Anita whispered. Victor smiled and leaned over to kiss Anita on the lips. Anita's worries soon went away as he kissed her. She returned his kiss with love and a promise. Victor put his arms around Anita as she put her's around his neck. They pulled apart and looked at each other. There was a sunset, it was fixen to get dark outside and it was getting cold. Victor and Anita started shivering. They were still wet and they needed a fire. Luckily there was a dead bush inside of the cave to make a fire out of. Anita grabbed their wet clothes off of the rock and they both went inside the cave. After they've started a fire Anita set their clothes next to her and sat down next to Victor. Victor looked to Anita and smiled at her. Anita smiled at him as he leaned over to her for another kiss. Anita kissed him as she pulled him down of top of her.

A little bit later it was getting darker and colder outside, but Victor and Anita were nice and warm with their naked bodies against each other. Their body heats from touching each other really made them feel warm. Anita's never felt so close to Victor, kissing him in between her soft shudders that echoed in the cave. Victor could never feel closer to Anita as he was kissing her beneath him. It felt great to them both, and yet to Anita, could it feel anymore painful? Though Anita was strong. They could have never been happier than how close than they were right now. Anita looked and smiled at Victor as he stopped kissing her to look in her eyes. Victor smiled as Anita stroked his light brown hair, which was soft and smooth. Victor and Anita closed their eyes and they kissed once more. The feeling of Victor inside of Anita made her realize that there is nothing in the world that can separate them, no matter what. Victor knew he would never let anything happen to Anita. Wherever she goes, he'll go, even if it means dieing with her. Victor placed the palm of his hand in Anita's palm and they closed their fingers on their hands kissing each other deeply. Anita took her other hand and gripped on their damp clothes beside her as she was starting to feel the pain fading away, and that suddenly fades out the end of this chapter.
