DRAW ME NEAR YOU

+Chapter 2+

Previous chap:

After everyone rubbed all the traces of sleep, they settled in the dining area and ate the delicious breakfast. After breakfast, they decided to go to their own houses. Sano resumed his sleep.

Kenshin and Kaoru decided to have some fresh air, they went to the park.

………………………………………………………………………

They are strolling around the park in silence. Kenshin slid his hands over Kaoru's silky smooth arm.

"Hey, Kaoru.."

Kenshin's hand, which is previously at Kaoru's arm, grasped her shoulder to turn her, facing him.

"Yes, Kenshin?"

"Um… you know over these past few weeks…uhm….w-we…uh…you know….I…You…time…ready…with"

"Oh, Kenshin, get it over with!"

Kenshin's nervousness slowly crawled away; though, undoubtedly a little of it remained in him.

"What I want to say is that I…you….t-time….r-ready….out?"

"You know, I can't understand what you're trying to say. Fix your tongue first then talk."

"I'm sorry…" Kenshin took a deep breath and spoke without a pause, "When-you-are-ready-I-want-us-to-go-out-you-know-to-date-do-you-want-to-go-out-with-me-?"

Kaoru's brow rose, as if comprehending his undecipherable statement.

"Uh, I didn't quite catch that. Can you repeat it…in a slooower way."

"Sorry. Its just I'm terribly nervous. What I said is, when you are ready, I want us to go out, you know to date. D-do you want to go out with me? Is it okay if I court you?"

Kaoru's eyes went huge as a tea saucer. When she had finally drunk in the meaning of his statement, she looked at him. She smiled, a genuine smile.

"It's okay for you to court me. A date would be lovely."

Kenshin, as if holding his breath for Kaoru's response, gave a heavy exhale.

"I thought you would reject my offer." Kenshin wiped away perspiration off his forehead.

"What's there to reject?" Kaoru turned and walked away from him, her eyes glistening. She flipped her hair then looked at him over her shoulder.

"You coming or not?"

Kenshin trotted to her side. His eyes were dark violet in color, showing his happiness.

…………………………………

From that day on, every morning Kaoru would wake up with three fresh stems of flowers with a box of chocolates. One time the flowers were roses, then tulips, daisies, lily of the valley, aster, and so many more kinds of flowers. Every time, a note is enclosed with it, always addressed to: 'My Queen'. If all of Kenshin's gifts were to be put together, it would make up a really large garden.

Kenshin would always pick her up on their dates, always on time, if not early. Their dates were very…um…frequent. Let's say, four times a week. The times when they just 'hang out' aren't included. Oh, I forgot to mention that they were always together during class breaks.

When they would walk together, Kenshin would put his arm around Kaoru every time a guy would look at her, then giving the guy a killing glare. Very possessive, isn't he?

Kenshin, after a few months of courting Kaoru, invited her to go somewhere.

………………………………

"Kenshin, where are you taking me?"

"Do you like surprises?"

"Yes, unfortunately, I can't hold my curiosity any longer."

"Tie this blindfold on."

"Huh?"

"Just tie it."

Kaoru tied the black piece of cloth over her eyes. The car came to a halt, she heard Kenshin's side of the door open, then close. Seconds later Kenshin opened her door and took her hand. After leading her to a spot, he finally stopped.

"Okay, you can take the blindfold off."

She took the blindfold off, what she witnessed was a picturesque view of the sea. They were standing at the seashore. The white sand of the beach clinging onto their feet. A rectangular piece of cloth was neatly laid on the sand, a basket of food and a few candlesticks are lying on top of it.

"Oh Kenshin, I love sunsets! Thank you for bringing me here, I love it!"

Her eyes were sparkling with joy. He then took her hand and led them to sit on the piece of cloth. He sat behind her; she, sitting on his lap; his arms encircled her body protectively.

They enjoyed the little but delicious snack Kenshin had prepared. They talked for hours, until the moon finally gazed upon them.

"Kaoru, do you want to dance?" That thought just slipped off his tongue. His eyes were admiring Kaoru's form, glazed in the moonlight.

"Huh? There's no music."

Kenshin pulled out his iPod, he attached one of the earphones on his left ear, the other earphone on Kaoru's right. He chose a slow song from the playlist. The two of them swayed with the flow of the song.

Kenshin's left arm encircling her waist while the right is intertwined with Kaoru's left hand. Kaoru's right was resting on Kenshin's shoulder. After a song, Kaoru detached her left hand from Kenshin's, she put both of her hands around Kenshin's neck, pulling him a little bit closer. Kenshin put both of his hands around her tiny waist, pressing her slowly on his body. They looked into each other's eyes intimately, their face closing the gap between them.

Then, boom! They kissed.

At first it was soft, then Kenshin parted her lips, sliding his tongue in. He explored every inch of her mouth, as for Kaoru, she moaned in pleasure. His grip tightened around her, crashing her in his body. Their tongue danced in romantic pace. Without parting their lips, they lied on the piece of cloth, Kaoru on top. Kaoru then led Kenshin into a deeper kiss. After they parted their lips, they sat face to face. Both flushed from the previous event.

Kenshin, after three months of courting her, finally popped the question.

"Would you be my girlfriend?" Kenshin's heart beat rapidly.
