A/N: I was listening with Lonestar's song entitled, "Amazed" while making this chapter. And God...this song was indeed beautiful and touching.
Hope you enjoy this chapter...and I'll be updating the next chapters in a few days or so...
This is getting good...and I can't wait for more sweet scenes ahead...they're spinning inside my mind in successive rounds...I can't wait...hahahahaha! XD
Oh...sorry for the cliffhanger...XD
"W-Why are y-you s-still here?"
The entire reality that she was there, standing in front of the door, staring at that familiar persona in front of her…wasn't a dream.
"For God's sake, why the hell are you still here?" she thought to herself, trying to give her thoughts a moment of silence, as well as time to make things clear enough for her to comprehend.
Before she let another word put from her mouth, her lips were already sealed in a second…with a sweet and slow kiss. Surely, she can't escape from that enthralling kiss, now that her petite frame has been captured by a pair of strong arms, holding her gently.
Once the kiss was done, she brushed her fingers through her hair, attentively looking at those well-known deep green eyes which were looking back at her expressive hazel orbs.
She sighed, and slightly smiled, facing the person, who was then holding her tiny waist with care.
"W-Why are you here? I thought you were also at the airport with the others…" she spoke, making her voice calm despite of her shaky feeling inside her bosom.
"I can't just leave you without giving you something to remember while I'm away." he grinned, placing his hand on her shoulders. Soon, as he noticed that it's getting pretty late, he pulled her closer to him.
The young lady nation shrieked, but was then blushed after recognizing that their faces were only an inch apart from each other. She let out a scowl; however she can't stop smirking.
"Now, I owe you one." she uttered.
She slowly touched his hair, gently pulling his head towards her for another kiss. This time, she gave the first move, luring him for an entrance. Without any doubts, he gave in, thus pressing his lips against hers in a deeper and more passionate way. It took a while before they let go from it, both of them smiling and blushing while gasping for their breaths.
He noticed a clear moist from her dark hazel eyes. Sensing that she couldn't hide her feelings anymore, she wiped her eyes with a white handkerchief.
"God, why am I crying now?" she said as she was busy taking those crystal drops away. Yet, he slowly grabbed the handkerchief from her, and ended up the one who was wiping the tears for her.
"Bloody hell…" he smirked softly, thinking that she was too damn cute when crying, her cheeks turning into a pair of rosy tomatoes, and her eyes faintly swelling with tears. He held her hand and spoke to her tenderly.
"Don't worry…if you don't want me to go yet, then…I'll stay here. I won't mind."
"B-But…it's alright. I'll be fine…really…" she said timidly, as she was gradually turning away from him. She doesn't want him to see her crying like a fountain, or simply in her depressed moods because he was going to leave.
As soon as she turned her back from him, he speedily caught her body and carried her to the bed. Soon, they bounced up and down, their bodies in intimate contact. Suddenly, they looked at each others eyes.
She felt her heart jumped fast, and his heart was pounding rapidly. They laughed for a moment.
He whispered something to her, "Do you still remember that time when we're riding the Ferris wheel at the park?"
She nodded, and then uttered, "Y-Yeah…I remember…"
He grinned. "What happened during that time was only a mistake. However…that incident made me realize that…"
He hasn't finished his sentence yet, when he can't help himself caressing her coy, faint red cheeks.
Then, he continued, "…I am already in love with you…"
A sudden reaction came from her, her hazel orbs wide open. Pretty soon, she gave him a smile.
"I don't know how or why this feeling came all of a sudden…I am definitely sure that I do hate you…I really hated you…but then…it was already here…and so…I found out that…I already…"
She touched his porcelain cheeks, her fingers exploring each beautiful curve and angle on his face. Her tears started to flow freely.
"…I already love you…" she finished with a soft voice.
Afterwards, she jumped on him and embraced him, her arms fully wrapped around his waist. They both ended sitting on the soft bed. They leaned their backs on the wall.
She gently leaned her head on his shoulder; he put his arm around her with one hand, and holding her hand with the other.
He heard soft sobs near him, and he turned his head to see her crying. He placed his hand on her face, wiping her tears with his fingers. He smiled at her, staring at her eyes lovingly.
"Don't worry…I'll be back soon. We'll be seeing each other sometime." he spoke gently.
Just as he was finished saying that sentence, he heard her humming a soft tune. Soon, these lines were heard:
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
She hugged him more tightly, never wanting him to let go from her embrace. She was still crying, letting her tears flow down to her cheeks. She sang the lines slowly; clear enough for the two of them to hear. She doesn't want him to leave yet…she doesn't want him to go. She will get sad when he goes away unexpectedly, without even taking herself a chance to glimpse at him before he steps up on that plane. She was sure of one thing…she will surely miss this jerk, the biggest jerk that she loves the most…and all her life, he will always be her one, true love.
She continued singing:
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever…
A disheartened feeling swiftly stabbed his heart. He never felt something like this before; still, he couldn't conceal his sadness that this woman will be far away from him for a long time. He can't accept that he has to go today…he must leave. He must leave everything here for the meanwhile and move on with his life. But, in spite of this, the fact that his love for her will always remain, gave a reassuring atmosphere on his part. He was certain that they'll be seeing each other again; that will happen, not for long. They will see one another soon. That is for sure.
The young lady gave out the final lines, and soon rested her head peacefully on his shoulder.
A moment of peace occurred.
When he realized that she was already asleep, he gradually gets a pillow from his side and placed it upon her head. He gradually carried her body and then laid her calmly on the bed. He looked at her serene face in deep slumber. As he packed up his things, he took a final look at her.
He couldn't hide the pain inside his chest. He wanted to shed tears, but he can't do so. He must not cry at all costs, letting his feelings make his guard down.
He leaned his head and gently kissed her forehead.
He soon whispered, "Sleep well, my love."
Inside the plane, he was staring at the window, gazing at the cirrus clouds above the sky, touching the turbines of the flying medium. He rested his head and closed his eyes. He heard the same song inside the plane…the lines echoing in his mind in continuous patterns.
He grinned, and then closed his eyes as he started on his way to a deep, good sleep:
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Morning came. The sky was crisp sunny and cheerful.
She woke up with a heavy headache. She placed her palms and soothed her aching temple. As she stood beside the window pane, watching the rising sun shining its rays upon her, her mind alarmed her, therefore making the young lady nation to turn back and take a good look around her room.
Her happy smile suddenly change into a gloomy face, the rosy hues on her cheeks got pale.
She sat on the bed, pondering her thoughts in deep meditation. Her day had started good, but then, her heart was telling her that something...something inside of her was...missing. A half of her life and soul had gone.
"He is..." she uttered slowly, struggling her eyes not to wet themselves with teardrops.
To fully ignore her depressed feelings, she looked for her handkerchief instead; it was nowhere to be seen. She stood up and roamed around her room, searching for it. Unfortunately, she couldn't find it.
"Where could it be?" she spoke.
The plane arrived at the now bright city. People walking fast inside the airport, back and forth, to and fro, minding their own intentions of arriving or leaving the said location.
He stepped his foot down from the plane, carrying a bag in his hands as he was strolling down. He noticed the good weather above his head, signaling for a brand new day waiting for him ahead.
As he planned to took out his wallet, something from his pocket fell. He went down on his knees and picked the thing up. With his surprise, he looked at the recognizable white handkerchief which he was now holding in his hand.
He smelled the sweet perfume from the ivory cloth, reminding him of her.
He felt intoxicated, thus making his heart as well as his mind and spirit to miss her bloody badly.
He smiled and put the handkerchief back to his pocket again. Then, he continued walking as he left the airport that day.
"I'll be coming back for you...I promise." he thought to himself.
