Disclaimer: I own Nothing
Chapter Twenty-Five: Proposal
Naru Pov
"My angel." I heard in a distance, as Mai came up to me, wrapping her hands with mind, I could see the joy in her eyes, as she looks around..
"Ayame.. I miss you so much." she chirps, as I glance up at our tree house.. I pat her shoulder, and point up, to spot Ayame standing on top of the balcony part, looking down at us,.. A sad smile passes her pale lips.
"In four days go and head North, soon the third moon will rise.. I don't have time.. Its Five already.. Three more, and we are almost done. Be brave, and everything will be rewarded," Ayame bows, and disappears from our sight.. Mai frowns, turning towards me.
"That was very short.. At least she came." she whispers, I shook my head in agreement, as we started to move towards our house. Mai stops half way, looking down at the ground. She tilts her head, moving her leg backwards.
"Odd," she whispers, looking up towards me. I lower my head, to see nothing out of the ordinary, just a dirt ground..
"Naru, right now, what do you see on the ground?" she asks me.
"Just dirt." answering her, she glances down on the ground, but shook her head, rubbing her head confused.
"What did you see?" I asked, now getting a little worried. Mai looks up at the tree house, then back at me.
"I thought I saw water..." she admits to me..
"Water?"
"Yes, it just came and gone just like that." she explains.
"Maybe another vision?" I suggest.. I felt her shiver, shaking her head.
"Maybe, but its weird, it just went away very fast.. Let's go back inside, is about to get dark." she whispers, now wrapping her arm around mine.. I glance down, watching her look worried.. I frowned, as we headed in towards the house..
'I hope is nothing, but knowing her.. Its something.' I didn't like it at all.
..
..
'Five years. It doesn't even feel like it.' I thought, climbing the stairs, feeling my heart unease.
'Not again.' I thought, rubbing my chest, looking down at Mai once again, she does the same thing as I do, rubbing her chest.
'Does she feels it as well?' thinking that, we step inside the tree house, as Mai let go of me. She rushes towards the window, to look at the ocean view. I sat down, near her, and cross my legs.
"We need to look at the mirror." I whispered, crossing my arms, looking up at her.. She crosses her legs, leaning her arms on the flat surface of the window..
"We have to." she whispers, frowning even more..
"What's wrong?" I asked her, she was cheerful a few minutes ago.. She turns her head, to stare down at me.
"Everything... I wanted to talk to Ayame, she just left.." she whispers, as she gets on her knees, looking straight at me.
"Well, we haven't seen her for a couple of years now, and we are still wanted," I simply told her. She groans, laying her head on my lap, stretching her body out like a cat. She places her cheek flatly on my upper leg, staring blankly at the wall.
"I know that, but I missed her.. I don't know why, but I feel like she's a very close friend of mine." she whispers. I lay my hand on her head, gently running my hands through her hair, as she snuggles more.
My eyes softness, at the gesture. She takes out the purple flower off from her ear, and I watch her smell it.
"I wonder what this flower's name is.." she murmurs under her breath, turning around, she glances up, and capture my hand.
"Five years.. It doesn't even feel like five years, but only a day." she whispers, I understood what she meant.. Even though time came by and by, for a reason, it only feels like a short time we spent on this island.
"So do we take the test? Or see the mirror?" she asks.. I move forward, getting very close to her, searching her eyes, I felt my heart hammer once again.
'Its still like when I was younger.. She keeps making my heart tremble.' I thought.. I watch her blush completely, as a hiccup escapes..
"You still with the hiccups." I murmured, amuse by that. She nods, covering her face.
"I don't know why.. You keep making me nervous." she admits..
"Not sure to take that as a compliment or insult." I teased; she bolts up, moving swiftly, I blink, as she pushes me back, and sits on my lap, placing each leg on the side of me, and lays herself down. I felt my heart hammer, and my chest warm up..
"Not an insult.. Is not. I'm not sure why though... You make me nervous a lot.. I still think this is a dream.. I will wake up one day, and find out that you aren't in love with me. That I'm actually at the office, and we still have that heavy atmosphere. I'm afraid to learn that you aren't my husband." she tells me.
Once again, fear seems to cross her brown eyes.. I smirked, crossing my arm arms once again.
"Then think that." I shrugged, Mai smiles brightly, when she captures my cheeks.
"Then I pretend, that this is all real then?" I nodded, cause it's true, and she leans forward, to press her lips against mine.. I untangle my arms, wrapping my arm around her head, to start moving my lips with hers, and deepen the kiss, as I closed my eyes, enjoying her soft lips against mine.
Slowly, we let go, breathing hard, her place her forehead against mine.
"Happy anniversary," she whispers.. I nodded, breathing in her scent..
"You haven't answered my question." she whispers..
I just stare at her.
"How about the mirror," I suggested to her. She nods, but doesn't make an attempt to move out of my lap, she keeps staring at me.
I felt my heart jump.
"Mai..." I paused, feeling myself grow nervous... I move my hand, and start to trace her face with my finger, feeling how soft she feels. She closes her eyes, as an ease expressing passes her.
'Five years, and each day is like a miracle.. At times we do have arguments, here and there, but at the end of the day we end to patching up.. So, this won't be any different..' I felt myself grow nervous, as she opens her eyes, and kisses my lips rapidly.
"Let's go.." she stood, stretching her arm out, wiggling her fingers. I nodded, taking her hand, and she pulls me up. With hand and hand, we start to head upstairs. I stare at her hand, watching the small wedding ring sparkle a little.
'You're not the only one, that gets nervous... I'm nervous.. I have never been this nervous before.' I thought, feeling my hand shake again.
'All I need is courage.. Damn, Never thought this would be very hard, especially that she's my wife.' I mentally groaned, since this past five years, I was trying hard to find the right time to ask her something important, that will permanently make her mine...
'Will she accept it, to become mine?' SHaking my head, we went upstairs, and turned towards the mirror.
"Well." she murmurs under her breath. Looking forward, as I watch her reflection.. I leaned forward, and took the mirror.
"Let's see what this mirror has." I whisper, kneeling down. I place the mirror down flatly on the ground, and stare at it, to see my own reflection. I touched it, to feel the glass, nothing more..
So I flip it over, to stare at the plain surface, so I trace my hands through it, but found nothing in particular off. No bumps, and no paper like texture.
"Nothing." I lift my head, to see Mai staring the back of the mirror, her eyes seem off. I stretch my arm out, and grasp her leg, she jumps a little, looking down at me.
"What?" I asked her. She shook her head, bending down, she picks up the mirror and places it back to its ordinary place. I stood, turning towards her, arching a brow up, to say, 'Why in the world did you just did that?'
Mai shook her head, turning around, she starts to head downstairs.. I follow her, noticing that she's headed for the outside.
"Mai?" I asked again, she stops in her tracks, and turns towards me.
"Um, the water came back, it was in the mirror, don't understand much.. It gave me a bad vibe. Needed to get out." she explains, moving closer to me.
"Oh.." tilting my head to the side, Mai wraps her arms around my midsection, feeling her shake a little.. I wrap my arms around her, lock my hand on my wrist. She moves her head up, and place a fake smile on me.
'I don't like her fake smiles.'
"Let's see the moon." She suggested... Nodding slowly, we start to walk backwards towards the back of the tree house, where our ladder is. I never disconnect with her, for a reason, whatever she saw, freaked her out.. She gets on her tip of her toes, and kisses my cheek very lightly..
Then, I let go, and watch her climb up. Then my eyes landed her silky milky legs, and since her dress isn't hiding much, I have a clear view of her behind.. Well, there goes my worries..
'Five years... I have respected her, I have seen her naked, but damn... Is so much that I can hold.. She's killing me." I thought, looking down at my pants, feeling myself grow stiff again.
'Just hold it... Sooner or later, we will... I never thought this would be killing me.. She doesn't' know, but I crave for her. Never once in my lifetime wanted a woman so much, until she came into my life.. I want her completely. I even have wet dreams with her, time to time. How low is that?'
I shook my head, running my hand up and down on my neck, trying to escape my dark thoughts.
'I feel more like the boyfriend than actually her husband.. Is this even normal?' I thought, wishing Lin was here to talk to.. I have no idea, how in the world, can I bring the subject up..'
"Are you going to stand there all day, or come up?" I heard Mai yell above me. I glance up, watching as the sunset made her skin glow.
'No, I just want to make love to you, until the sun rises or more.' Somewhere deep in me scream, as this beast in me stirs.
'Okay, I really need a cold shower. This is too much.' I thought, climbing up the ladder. Reaching the rooftop. She moves a little so I can sit next to her.
Sitting on the roof, she places herself between my legs, and plaster her back on my chest, looking up the sunset. I grab her hand, and intertwine our fingers together.. As she grabs her my other arm, and place it around her stomach, leaning her head on the side of mine.
'This is not helping.. Yet..' I closed my eyes, enjoying her aroma.. It somehow seems to calm me down.
'Yet, I just don't want to think of myself. I want her to want it as well, I want her to want me. I'm just her protector. I'll do anything she wants me to do.. I will wait as long as possible. All I can do is protect her, even from me.'
"Is so pretty, today the winds seem a little rough. Is like God wants us to have a perfect day." she whispers, watching the wind move the trees, as I felt Mai shiver. I wrap myself more around her, so she won't be as cold.
'I'll just wait. She deserves better.' I reason, fighting my inner beast, that wanted to devour her completely. To make her mine...
"I'm a little afraid," Mai starts, as she moves her head to glance at me, her eyes shined bright, making my heart jump.
"What are you afraid of this time?"
"If Ayame came back, that means the others are, soon I will start getting the nightmares." she whispers.. I frowned, huffing out, as she turns her head back towards the sky.. I lean my chin on her shoulder, taking a breath.
"Well, we can't stop the dreams, but we can prepare for them. Also, if you get a dream tonight, I will be there, trust me." I whispered
"Really?" she seems a little concerned, turning to stare at me.
"We have been training a lot.. So, this time around, we are prepared." I told her, to make her feel at ease. She blinks, but then nods, turning back towards the now dark sky.
"Thank you GOD!" she somewhat screams, surprising me..
"Why are you screaming?"
"Cause God gave me the best husband in the world. I love him beyond words, God. I have no idea how to repay you, but one day I will.. I will always keep Naru by my side, if Naru wants me to." she blushes, lowering her head down. I smiled gently at that.
'I am grateful to, Thanks for giving me Mai.' I added to her prayer, but only in thought. Then I heard her gasp, grabbing my arm.
"Ne, Naru, look at that, is shooting stars, make a wish quick," she closes her eyes, and places her hands together, tightly closing her eyes.. I glance up, to see about four shooting stars zooming across the sky...
She opens her eyes, and moves a little away from me, took look on the floor, while I glance at the tree on my right, for a reason, I felt calm watching the trees move with the winds..
"I wished, did you?"
"No.. I don't believe in that." I admitted.. She gasps, grabbing my arm, I turned to face her.
"Naru?" she gasped out, as I arched a brow confused.
"What?" she blushes so much, that she turns her head, to look up at the sky.
"Nothing." she whispers...
Then a silence filled our air, as we just simply watch the night sky, and the trees... All I knew, I will never change this for the world...
Having Mai in my arms, and will this peaceful atmosphere surrounds us, is enough to make any man happy.
'I don't have to make a wish, cause I already have what I want. And that's you..' I thought, holding Mai tighter in my arms...
'True love? I'm not sure if it exists, but... All I knew, is that, I love her more than anything in this world.. And for a reason, somewhere deep in me, knows, that I will love her until my last breath.'
Mai POV
"Oh," I broke the comfortable silence, as I jump out of Naru arms, feeling the cold air brush against my skin. I shivered a little. Blushing, I lift my blouse up, and took out my present for him.
"I know is not much, but happy anniversary," I blushed even more. Taking out my hand, I stretched out my hand, and open my hand. Naru blinks, looking down, as he takes it, raise his hand. He drops my present down, and lifts his hand more.
"A necklace?" he asks... I nodded shyly, as his eyes roam it, it's a simple little thing.
"I made it out of the shells, and I use one of the blankets to make the chain part.. It was hard to do, but with a little fire, and a knife, anything is possible." I whispered, staring at the heart shape white shell..
"I wish it was a different color, but I heard once, that white is purity." I explained.. He stares at the heart shape shell.
"Isn't this a little bit too much?" he is simply ruining the moment, with his cold voice... My heart stops beating for a brief second, as I felt a knot in my throat.
"Well.. Err." for a reason, I didn't like this.. I knew I shouldn't have.. Naru stare at the necklace, as I stood, heading for the ladder.
"Where are you going?" he asks, looking down at me.. I kept going down.
"Sleep.. I'm getting a headache." I lied, I didn't want to hear it.. So I hop down, heading for my bed.. Feeling my heart ache.
'Silly me.. He doesn't like it..' heading in, I rush my steps, and headed towards my bed. I didn't catch Naru behind me, because I hid under my blankets, feeling very embarrassed...
'I'm so embarrassed.' Closing my eyes, a dead silence filled my ears...
..
(Drip, Drip) I start to hear from a distance.. Like a small drop dropping into a bucket of water.
I found myself in the field once again.. Fire, once again surrounds me.
"Wait.." I glance at the fire the souls started to appear, for a reason, joy seems to seep into my heart.
"Your back.. Please, help me, so I can help you guys." I pleaded, wanting to help them. Yet no words came out of them.
Then I saw Ayame approach me as she appears from nowhere. She sadly smiles at me, taking a hold of my hand, I shivered from her contact..
"Your next trip, will be even worse.. Be strong my Angel." she whispers..
"Naru and I figure that much, we will be prepared. I do have a question, why does your picture seem so familiar to me? Why did you hide it?" I finally go to ask her. She smiles at me gently, cupping my cheek.
"So young.. No memories of it. Soon, I can feel it... Soon you'll understand..." she whispers, then she places her hand on my stomach, smiling even more.
"The love that man has for you, is so powerful, that we can feel it. We are forbidden to help. Tell your husband that I will guide him somewhere soon... He just needs to open up for an unquestionable journey." I blushed, as she moves her hand away.
"Oh, I forgot to say, Gene has brought a message; he misses you a lot, and to not worry about your friends.. They are still looking for you," she whispers, as I glanced down, only to feel something not right.
"That's good to know, really is, but..." I move my head up only to have Ayame disappear from me, as well as the souls... The fire was no more..
"Hello?" I look around, until I heard a small splash under my feet.. Looking down, I knitted my brows,
"Is this water from earlier?" I whispered, looking at the small puddles forming...
"This looks oddly familiar to me." I bend down, touching it, then my eyes widen.. As the blue starts to turn into red.
"This is not water.. Its... Is this blood?" I asked shocked,
"Oh no, not again," But this time around, the blood starts to rapidly turn into a pool... Feeling my legs paralyzed.
"I'm going to drown.. I can't' move." I panic, trying to move my legs,
"Naru, please wake me up." I begged, as the blood now reaches my chest. I get a hold on my ankle, as a diabolical laughter surrounds me completely.
"Alice... Its time to walk into the mirror.. Don't you think? Tick Tock, is Five." It sounded like Alack then anything.. I look down, as my heart bounces fearfully, as a two red eyes stare at me completely.
"Miss me doll? I sure did... Now, come to me.." I screamed, from the top of my lungs, when Alack jumps out of the pool of blood, coming straight at me.
"Ahh!"
..
..
"Ahh!"
Without a thought, I bolted out of my dream after I stopped screaming, jumping forward, my forehead immediately hits something hard, causing me to hiss in pain.
"Aish.." I cried out, rubbing my forehead lowering my head in pain. Naru groans, rubbing his.
"Well, that's a way to get you up." He complains, hissing. Finally feeling awake, I move my head up, to stare at Naru.
"Naru?"
"Last time I check." he agrees still rubbing his forehead.. I wanted to go up to him, wrap my arms around him, and cry, but this time, I took a fist full of my blanket, feeling my body shake.
"What did you dream?" He gently asks. I shook my head, throwing the blanket away from me, and stood up.
"I'm sorry for hitting your head. I didn't know." I admitted, after I bowed down. Moving away from him, going to get my clothes.
"Are you still mad at me?" he asks.. I stopped in my tracks,
"What makes you say I'm mad at you?" I retreated his question.. He just blankly stares at me.
'I'm not mad at you, I'm hurt. It was the least I could do.. From everything you have done for me in this last nine years of my life. The small things, that causes me great joy. I just wanted to repay you..' I thought, feeling my heart ache.
Turning my gaze towards the mirror, I found the flower Naru gave me already falling, and squash, my eyes widen.
'Oh no, I forgot.' guilt seeps in, as I move forward, taking the flower out of my ear, and kneeled down.
"I'm sorry. I forgot.." I whispered, placing the purple flower on top of the rock, looking down at it very sad.
'I'm terrible, and I can't even save the flower.' I thought, standing up, I headed down, to grab my clothes, feeling the tears prickling on the corner of my eye.
'I let it die...' Shaking my head, going towards the chest.
'Also, now that I don't see the fire, I get pool of blood. What's going on?' stopping in my tracks, I open the chest, to look at it blankly.
'Don't cry.. Naru shouldn't see you crying' I kept telling myself. I picked my green dress, I rushed my steps downstairs.
So I ran towards our bathing post, rubbing my eyes. Never taking notice a dark cloud passing over the island.
"Its silly Mai.. Just cause he didn't like it. Doesn't mean the end of the world.." I mumble to myself...
'I let the poor flower die as well.. Maybe is a sign, that everything is going down the hill... No, I'm just over thinking it.' I thought, reaching the waterfall. Wiping my eyes, since the tears kept going down..
"Yes, I am." I whispered, holding tight on my clothes.
'What did the pool of blood mean?' So many questions ran my thoughts, as I felt an arm wrap around my waist, pinning me against his chest.
"Running won't help the solution." he whispers.. I turned, and hiccuped, as though God heard me, the first thing that came to me is to wrap my arms around Naru, as he seems surprised.
"I had a bad dream.." I cried out.. Naru wraps his arms around my waist.
"I could tell, what about this time?"
"Blood, just like past case." I explained.. He nods... Then out of nowhere, a bolt of lightening seems to roar the sky, causing me to jump in fear.. I started to shake.
"Its going to..." and before I could finish, rain poured above us. Drenching us to head and toe.
"Rain." Naru finishes, looking down at me. I blinked, wiping my face.. For a reason, my depression seems to leave me, as a small ironic laughter passes my lips.
"Its thundering." I whispered..
"We should go in." he offers. I nodded, as he takes my hand, but then he pauses, when another thunder roars the sky.. I jumped, wrapping my arms around his back, squinting my eyes tightly.
"I can't move." I whispered.. Naru glance up at the dark sky, he places my hands to the side, and starts to walk very slowly in a circle around me..
"You can't move?" he asks, watching him unbutton his shirt off very slowly.,
"All of the sudden, I'm in the mood to shower." he mumbles, as he throws his wet shirt down on the ground. My cheeks flairs up.
"What are you doing? You're going to catch a cold." I told him, bending down, to pick up his shirt..
Naru stops in front of me, as I rose myself up, to gasp, to see Naru very close to me.
"Want to join me?" he asks..
"Are you crazy? Is raining buckets.. We need shelter, and its thundering." I shriek, as another thunder hit..
"Alright." he shrugs, going around me, he heads towards the water, rolling his shoulders.. I licked my suddenly dry lips, as I watch the water graze his skin, making it tempting,
'I want to lay my cheek against his back.' I thought, feeling my tummy grow warm. He turns around, and gave me a stern look, but then starts to walk towards me..
"Ne?" I asked, as I took a step back, his blue eyes seem dark for a reason.. He shook his head, making his wet hair move side to side, spilling out more water. A giggle past my lips.
"What are you doing?" I asked, as he shrugs.
"Are you trying to look cool or what?" cause he's succeeding; he does it again..
"No, too much water." he declairs.. Moving closer to me..
"Come and join me?"
"No, we'll get a cold, remember, we have a mission." I told him, not noticing that another thunder hit the sky. Naru frowns, but then he picks me up by my waist.
"Hey.." argue, hoisting me up in his shoulder.
"Its a good day to bathe." he whispers, stoping and place me down gently on the platform of the water. I shook my head, and go around him, and started to run.
"No, your nuts.." I shriek, almost reaching the forest, but Naru is too darn fast, that he takes my waist, and spins me around.
"Eii!" I shrieked.
"I'm not... I want a bath." he whispers,
"Then bathe yourself. You don't need me."
"I need you to wash my back."
"No, I don't.."
"You have in the past."
"Well, that was in the past. Not now."
"I will be very lonely." I actually shiver from his low, deep voice, feeling my heart skip a beat.
'Is he begging? Or what?'
"Its raining hard, is dangerous. And you can entertain yourself." I mumbled, for a reason, even its cold, his skin seems very hot against mine..
'Why is my skin hot as well?' Feeling it weird.
"Entertain myself? How... I need my wife next to me." he murmurs.. Causing me to blush.
He turns his head, towards me, staring deeply at my eyes.. I actually felt myself go weak on the knees.
"Naru?" I gasp confused by his sudden mood change.
He leans forward, and press his lips on mine, literally taking my breath away. Moving his lips against mine, I close my eyes, forgetting everything what just happened, even about the thunder. I wrap my arm around his neck, kissing him gently. He wraps his arm around my waist, and hoists me up in his chest, holding me very tightly. All I can feel is wanted, but not from ghost or souls.. I could feel that he all he wanted is me.. I felt his lips very gentle and strong at the same time..
Breathing out, he opens his eyes, a little daze, he separates from me, and starts to walk around me once again in a circle.
"Naru?" I asked, lowering my hands down.. Now feeling my dress clenched into my skin.. He stops, and turns towards me..
"Aren't you going to take a bath?" I asked him. Naru shook his head.
"I'm already wet enough." he shrugs.. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Wow. Just wow." Then reality hits, when a big thunder hit, causing me to jump..
"Thunder." I ran towards Naru, wrapping my arms around his midsection.. He places his hands on my shoulders, looking down at me, as I quiver.
"I want to play a game." He whispers.. I glance up, shaking a little, but tilted my head towards the side.
"Are you serious?" I asked him.
"Yes."
"Then, No.."
"Then too bad." he murmurs.
"Good." I felt so lost with this man right now. So I turned, taking a step forward.
"I'm going to get dry.. Its actually cold." I shivered, Naru wrap his arms around me, and spins me again, this time, he lost his balance, falling down.. I gasped as Naru uses his body as my shield, that I landed on top of him.
"Are you okay?" I asked, as I watch pain pass his face. He shook his head, but spins me around, covering his body on top of mine. My face heats up as I glance up. His face so wet, his hair plastered down. His blue eyes roaming me.. My chest heaving hard..
"Naru?" I asked.. He moves down, and place his lips against mine, giving me a soft kiss, then straightens up.
Then he rolls me around, so I can land on top of him.. He chuckles, like a child.
"What's wrong with you?" Then he, once again flips me around, I'm now being under him. His eyes seem a little playful, it bounces once again.. I felt my heart jump at the sight.
'I miss this playful Naru.' I admitted to myself.
"I'm getting dizzy." I told him the truth. He twirls me again, and I landed on top of him.. This time he sits himself up, taking a hold of my back, so I won't fall out..
"Why are you so playful?" I asked him.
He shrugs, as I move my legs, so I sit his lap comfortable. He moves my wet hair back, then once again traces his knuckles across my cheeks, very gently, as his eyes turn very soft, I gulped, and then he moves his head towards my neck.. My eyes widen, to feel his soft warm lips on my neck..
I actually giggled, but my warm tummy started up once again. I press my hand on the side of his head, taking a hold of his hair. Stopping myself from moaning in pleasure.
'What in the world?' I thought, wanting his lips to continue..
"N.. Naru?" I became breathless from his sudden bold action.. His lips start to travel up my neck, slowly kissing each part of my skin, I actually moaned, biting my lower lip, enjoying it a little too much.. Moving my legs, as the heat in my stomach travel more down, his lips, travels up towards my jaw.. He stops.
"Are you still mad at me?" Naru deeply and breathless questions.
'Mad? Why was I mad? ' I thought, trying to remember, what happened, I feel his hand in my back doing small strokes.. I press my hand on his shoulder, giving it a little pressure.
"I... I.." I have forgotten. Naru travel his lips down my neck again, but this time, he doesn't kiss me, is more like grazing it.. Causing the warm sensation on my tummy to turn into a hot one.
"Good." he whispers, then he moves his head towards my other side of my neck, doing the same treatment.. I rolled my eyes, this time I moaned in pleasure, not noticing the sly smirk passing Naru lips enjoying what he's doing to me..
He just gently tortures me. Then he stops..
He stands me up..
All of the sudden, I felt alone.. I wanted more.. I wanted to be in his arms.. As he stands up, he starts to move towards the tree house.. I stare at him with wide eyes.
"Naru?" I called out, confused.. He kept walking.. Fear shot through me.
"Please Naru.." I begged, moving towards him.. He stops, and turned towards me..
Then he smiles at me. A true warm smile that he rarely gives me... I felt my heart jump..
"I have gained the courage." he mumbles under his breath, as he starts to walk towards me..
I stop in my tracks, watching his eyes turn deeper, as his wet hair somewhat covers his eyes, but for a reason, it made him look sexier...
My eyes widen, when he came up to me, and press his lips against mine, devouring me completely. I had to take a breath, and move with him.. Very rapid, this kiss seems heated. We never kiss the much in one day.. I cup his cheek, moving my lips against his. Feeling like heaven. I always said, he's like my safe heaven, and now, I'm right. He is..
Slowly opening my eyes.
"Courage?" I asked breathlessly... He nods... Then he urns his back towards me, staring at the trees...
"We have been married for five years." he started.. Then he turns, and once again trap his lips against mine, cupping my cheeks, breathing in heavily.
'He's going to kill me.. I mean in a good way.. Oh God.. What is this man doing to me?' I am already out of it.. All I want is to feel him.. My tummy is already boiling over... I want him to make love to me. Oh hell, I want to make love to him..
Letting go, I have passed my tongue across my now swollen lips, still tasting him.
'Tea, he always tastes like tea, no matter what. And I love it.' I though shivering from it.. Naru wraps his arms around me, and finally calmed down... He picks me up, and surprises me, when he twirls me around.
"Naru, what's wrong with you?"
"I gain courage." was all he said, as he place me down, and cups my cheeks.. That playfulness is short lived, as his cold eyes returns completely. Breathing hard.
"Courage, you said that before.. What does that mean." his lips thinned out, and places his forehead against mine. Closing his eyes, he takes a big breath.
"It means." he paused, opening his eyes, then he leans on my right ear, and whispers.. My eyes widen, as a huge gasp escapes my lips... My heart literally melts as the warm feeling spread all over my body...
Never in my life, I thought Naru will ask me..
I stare at him with wide eyes, as tears start to roll down my eyes, as his lips goes thin, and his eyes roam my face... So I place my head against his bare chest, hearing his heart pound hard... I closed my eyes, to enjoy his warmth, it didn't matter that we are drenched..
My view on thunder, and rain change since that day.
I never thought that Thunder and rain will become something positive in my life, and I will never forget it... Especially since it was Naru words that did it.. Four simple words.
