Chapter Forty-Six: Not a Dream?
Naru
I held her lifeless hand for what feels like a lifetime, not sure how much time has passed since she has passed away, but it should be a few hours already. I was in shock and helpless to do anything.
"God, you know I barely pray before, but I do now, I lost someone already and I don't want to lose another one. You're the only one that knows how much I love this woman. So please bring her back to me, I promise to love her and never leave her for the rest of my life." I prayed as I press her cold hand against my cheek as tears begin to fall once again.
"Mai... Please, come back to me and don't leave me, just like Gene did. How could you crawl up to me like a worm and change me, making me fall in love with you and then leave like that? I never begged in my life. I'm begging you. Come back to me. I promise, to be a better husband, please bring this woman back to me." I begged in desperation, feeling so hollow and heartbroken.
If she's not here with me, then what's the point of living?
I don't know how long I kept holding her, praying without moving from her, I was scared if I did move away she'll disappear from me, but my body couldn't take it anymore, feeling dehydration and hunger, (Since yesterday, I haven't eaten or drink anything from watching Mai.) my body finally shut making me lose consciousness from exhausting.
Mai POV
I cried my heart out I'm not sure for how long, but it felt for a lifetime, but maybe it was hours at its best.
Slowly the man places his hands on my arms and lifts me as he stares at me with pure sadness in his eyes.
"Don't cry Mai." He whispers as he wraps his arms around me, giving me a warm hug. I continued to cry in his embrace. He rubs my back gently as I look up at Gene.
"You did great, you finally send the protector where she belongs. You freed the souls from the island."Gene stated but it didn't bring me any consolation at all to my broken heart.
I would be so happy, I want to celebrate, but what's the use? If I don't have Naru with me.
"I am glad for them. I want to go back; I want to go to Naru. He's lonely... I can't leave him to take me back okay?" I begged Gene. Gene frowns turning his gaze up.
I follow him only to see Ayame and her husband standing there, holding each other hands.
"Thank you so much, Angel, you have freed us. The protector of the island used to be a lonely woman, that was born centuries ago. She became so bitter, that she started to do black arts... In doing so, God punished her and bound her to this island. Then again, she found a way to leave, and that is to bind two hundred souls, so she can be freed. She tricked Sasuke and the others to do her evil tasks. Sad really. She even tormented us." Ayame frowns as her husband wraps his arm around her to console her.
"Oh... What does that have to do with me and Naru? How come we are Sasuke and Alice? Why did my grandmother know about this?" questions that haven't been answered yet.
Ayame and John look at each other, then at me.
"That... Will be another story.." John said as he disappears. Ayame smiles kindly at me and turns her gaze towards Gene.
"She has sacrificed her soul to save us and her husband. God wants to grant your husband his prayers."Ayame moves closer to me and cups my cheek. My heart broke even more.
"How? I have died... I can't go back... I want to... I want to be with him... I already miss him." I cried harder, feeling Gene's hand on my shoulder.
"I know Mai. Everything is over, but not until ten. If we return you, you must live with the consequences.."I turned to face Gene.
"What consequences?" I asked him confused. He frowns when he bends down he lifts my shirt up.
"Hey. Don't do that, only Naru can see me." I shrieked blushing as I struggle to push my shirt down, but doesn't let me. Gene frowns, but ignores me, and presses his cold hand on my waist, I shivered.
"Look at this, what Kyoko did to you.." he points out. I lifted my shirt, and my eyes widen to see a deep dark disfiguring scar, looking like a snake warp around my waist up to my stomach.
"That.." I frowned, touching it.
Naru... Will he find me disgusting. Will he? my heartache. I... I don't care about the scar, but Naru will.
Would he like to make love to me after seeing me like this? Would he?
I started to feel my self-esteem going down.
"It's okay... If Naru stops loving me because of this. I don't mind. While I remain by his side as his assistant. He already gave me so much. Even himself it's enough for me." It hurts. My heart hurts from those lies I told Gene.
"Don't lie to me to make yourself feel better. I can see it.. Trust me, Naru isn't going to leave you, nor will he stop loving you. I know my brother too much. If he found you disgusting because of a mere scar then he's was never worthy of your love." Gene tries to ease me.
I want to believe in your words.
"You and Oliver need each other. From the past and towards the future, you two have been through so much. Marriage is not easy, but remember to always communicate and keep honest with each other. It's our gift to you. God has gifted. Live a happy long life with him. You and he will be able to leave this island, but not now as one door closes a new one opens so be on your toes as a new adventure awaits for the both, your mission hasn't finished just yet." Ayame pats my head gently.
"Whatever happens, I'll face it with my Naru, so that means I can return?" I felt excited to go back, to be back to my husband, so I wipe my eyes trying to calm myself up as this hope clenched into my heart.
Just hold on Naru, I'm coming back for you. This time I won't let you go.
"Yes, is not your time... The sacrifice was to show how much you two were willing to die for each other. It was a test and both passed as we can see how much love you two have for each other. Now, go and be happy. Give that to Alice and Sasuke."Ayame smiles.
"That was a sick test, you know. Also, this is not fair for you and your husband, deserve to be happy." I knew it was unfair, how come I am the only one to get happiness. Ayame shook her head turning her gaze towards Gene.
"My dear, I was happy and still am. I have my husband back... I have lived my life to the fullest. I gave birth to a beautiful girl, and watch her grow. I lived what God gave me. It's your turn." She whispers, turning her gaze towards me.
"Then what happened to your daughter? I never got to know that, or how Alack died."
"Ask your husband.."and with that, she disappears. I turned around watching Gene frowning.
"Naru? Does he know?" I whispered a bit confused.
"I'm jealous," Gene whispers snapping out of my thoughts... My eyes widen at his sudden words. I move, to grasp his hand.
"Why?"
"Why? Here I am since your wedding and not a single... I miss you, or brother-in-law... Or…" I cut off his rambles as I jump hug him, with fresh tears causing him to hunch down.
"I did miss you terribly. Naru especially. My dear Gene, I miss you so much, I'm sorry, I was grieving thinking that I will never see your brother again." I tighten my hold around him. He chuckles, wrapping his arms around me holding me tighter.
"Good.. Don't worry, your friends are still looking for you. You'll be for a big surprise."He simply tells me. I move away from him and I cup his cold cheek.
"After seven years, they still haven't given up hope, good. I miss them so much, but Naru and I are not the same. It will be hard for us to adjust to the normal again and I can't live without him, not even if he leaves for a day, I go crazy as I discovered from this strange reality." I told him. Gene nods, my eyes widen when he moves closer to me, and closed his eyes, and kisses my right cheek. I shivered from his cold lips.
"You two will survive and for the record Mai... If I was alive... I would have to fight over you with Noll. You're a special kind of girl. Make my brother happy. If he gives you trouble just tell me, so I can set him straight... After all. You're my little sister now, I need to protect you even more."his words seems so deep that it touched my heart.
He's my older brother now. My Gene, I treasure you so much.
"I'm sorry Gene. I think you would have lost. I would have fallen for Naru no matter what. He's my life now. Thank you so much to consider me as your little sister. Thank you for reminding me, that I have a family now. I forgot, how that felt, now you are my big brother and I treasure you. " I cried tiptoeing, I press my lips on his cold cheek.
"Welcome to our family Mai, Noll is a lucky man to have you."I smiled, even more, wrapping my arms around him holding him tightly.
"I love you, Gene," I whispered feeling warm and happy finally feeling almost whole. He chuckles, wrapping his arms around me.
"I love you as well Mai." I frowned as I bury my face on the crook of Gene's shoulder. I felt Gene rub my back gently.
I wish Naru could say that to me. Even if they have familiar faces, and somewhat voices, is not the same. When is he going to tell me those words, that I ache to hear? At least once in my life? I know he wrote them, but I would love to hear it from his lips at least once.
I shook my head as I smiled feeling my pain to leave replace with hope and anticipation.
For now, it doesn't matter, I'm coming back to my love, but will he accept me as I am?
Naru Pov
I found myself on the mountains, a familiar mountain, which I can't recall at the moment, maybe I dream it before?
"Noll, good job. I'm so proud of you." I heard Gene's voice echoed behind me. I turned around, to find myself in the mountains, as Gene materializes in front of me. Two emotions pass by me. Happiness and dread.
"Gene!" I ran up to him wrapping my arms around him. He chuckles, patting my back, here I thought I wouldn't see him for a long time.
"Noll. I'm happy to see you again, even though it's been almost a week." He said with a chuckle. I move to stare at him.
"Did Mai manage to get all the souls?"
"Yes... She freed everyone. Her powers are powerful, specially fused with yours."He complimented making me proud of her.
"Isn't she? She is something Gene." I admit with a blush while Gene pats my shoulders, walking towards his left.
"So how is the honeymoon going?." he asks me causing me to grin at his words. I walk up to him now standing side by side. Missing him completely.
"Seriously? You were there, I became a widow Gene," I drop my gaze as my voice turns bitter.
"Noll, I didn't mean.." Gene sounded remorse but I shook my head at Gene as I turn to look at him, my eyes water up as I felt my heart clench.
"I already lost you, but I can't lose her. Please, Gene, help me and bring her back." I pleaded with him taking a hold of his cold hands.
"I'm not God," he said. I slump my shoulders as Gene wraps his arms around me and pats my back.
"Everything will be okay, just have faith," he tells me causing me to dryly laugh at him as I move back to look at him.
"You sound like Mai,"
"Maybe we are kindred spirits, tell me, Noll, do you truly love her, even if she came back with have issues?"he said very carefully.
Issues? I don't care, while she's with me.
"She's worth it Gene. Did you know, kissing her... I never thought about it before, not until we became stranded here, many years ago, well kissing her is like anything I could imagine, it drives me crazy and I think I become addicted to her lips and I do admit she's a wonderful kisser that sometimes I lose my senses. She's very soft and warm it's beyond anything. She has a unique smell, do with this island which I found alluring and addictive. When I hug her, I feel like I'm home. She's my other half. What I don't have, she completes it for me, and what she doesn't have I complete it for her. At times, she thinks little about herself, which makes me mad. She thinks she's not pretty nor can seduce me, but she's wrong, I'm crazy about her no matter what. She's not a supermodel, nor she is perfect. I don't see that. I see her as the most beautiful woman in this world. I have lost it. This past eleven years with her she has become my life. I can't explain it, it's like a love that burns in my heart passionately, and every day that passes, I end up falling deeper in love with her.." I explain to him.
"It's called a pure love Noll, those types of love still exist, but since men have changed, the meaning of love as well."
"Pure love? Yes, I love her that I can't live without her. I feel like I can't breathe. Bring me back my wife, Gene. Is already hard enough that I lost you. Don't make me go through this again." I begged him as I grab his shoulders.
"Everyone dies Noll. You know that."
"I know, but wait until we are old, I won't make it without her. I'll die as well if I don't have her next to me." I told him. Gene shook his head.
"You have changed so much. It's a very good thing. Life isn't a fairy tale, reality does sink in.." I stared at my brother aching that dread.
"I'm sorry Gene. I'm very sorry for…" but Gene shook his head, looking out at the horizon.
"I'm not mad at you. Is not our fault and I understand that you're grieving. You should forgive yourself and live a life. Live it for me. I'll be always next to you watching. After all... You will always be my little brother, no matter what." His words mean so much to me.
"You and Mai are almost the same. She told me that a few days ago.." I whispered. Gene shrugs, giving me a warm smile.
"As I said, we are kindred spirits." I rolled my eyes at him, as he cleared his throat.
"Let's just enjoy our moment. Noll, I want to hang out with my little brother, like in the old times. When you wake up, it will a new chapter for your life, trust me in this Noll."his voice seems to be pleading. I shook my head, turning to face him.
"Sure, as a widow," I said dryly with hurt. Gene smiles at me with a strange glint in his eyes and all of a sudden he jumps me, wrapping his arm around me.
"Oi, what are you doing." I hissed looking up at him.
"For now, forget and hang with me, it's been such a while? Huh, old man?" He tightens his grip on me in a headlock. I pushed him, and he took out his tongue.
For now, I will let loose.
"Old man?" I spat as I began to chase him, he laughs in a mocking matter.
"Well, I'm still fifteen and you're twenty-seven soon turning twenty-eight, so yes, you're an old man."He said. I rolled my eyes at him and we started to play as we use to when we were younger.
"I'll show you whose old."
To be honest, this helped me a little, having fun with my brother because when I come back to reality, this would be the last time I would ever have fun or smile. Without Mai or my brother Gene, what's the point of smiling at the world if I don't have them. Never again will I open my heart for anything that is not Mai, that is if I survive this heartbreak.
o.O
"It's time to go back," Gene said as we finished just hanging out. I took my brother's hand and shook my head.
"No, what's the point? If Mai isn't there, then what's the point of me going back? Let me stay?" I pleaded, not wanting to face reality. Gene gave me a strange look.
"Just go, when you wake up, trust me a new adventure will begin, your mission is not over in The Black Lagoon." he simply said to me." with that he disappears, leaving me alone.
"My love, wake up," I heard Mai's voice call out for me. My heart jumps as this heartache came back to me that I place my hand on my chest.
"I'm hearing things," I told myself, but suddenly I felt myself being pulled back from my dream, causing me to jerk up. Rubbing my eyes, I lifted my head to see Mai's eyes wide open, with tears and a smile on her lips. My heart stops for a brief second as she said.
"Sleepyhead you are," she giggles as my thought progress stopped working for me.
She's alive? No, this has to be a dream, the best dream I ever had. I took a hold of her cold hand, which is becoming warmer, I slowly trace her arm, feeling her skin, turning warmer as I reach up to her cheek, which turns into lovely pink, I couldn't help but caress her with my knuckles as I saw her close her eyes and lean into my touch.
This is a dream, she's dead, she was stiff and cold, not this soft and lovely. What a cruel joke this is.
"My love... I love... your touches," she said softly without much energy as my throat tightens, feeling tears stinging my eyes.
"I'm...Sorry that I... scared you," she admits. I lift my hand and slap my cheeks trying to wake myself up.
"M...Mai, I'm not dreaming? Please tell me that I'm not dreaming." I begged, getting scared that this has to be one of the heartbreaking dreams I ever had. Mai isn't alive, she's dead, and this Mai is one I made up so I can survive, right?
Mai POV
(A few minutes before Naru woke up.)
I walked up to the mirror and I could see Naru holding my hand laying down with tears running down his eyes. I press my hand against the glass aching to get back to him.
"Be ready your mission is not over nor his,"Ayame said behind me. I nodded turning to face her.
"While I'm with Naru nothing will be impossible," I told her. She smiles at me in a tender matter as the next thing I knew I'm standing next to my body and Naru. I turned around to face the mirror but I didn't spot her at all.
I bow as to thank her, as this peace rushed into my heart.
Closing my eyes, I felt myself become one with my body once again. I gasped out as the function of my body came back to life. My body felt stiff and achy.
Slowly opening my eyes at first it was hard, but when I finally did, the blurry vision slowly began to go away, and finally could see the hole that Naru and I patched up long ago. I turned my head to my right to see my husband sleeping. My heart warms up by the sight, but I took notice that he looks pale.
"Thank you, God, for bringing me back," I whispered wiping my tears. I move my arm and brush his hair gently.
"Naru, wake up.." my voice is scratched, dry and so low, I barely had any energy.
"Naru... Please... I'm awake. I'm back. Wake up." This time with a little more force... I move my head to kiss the top of his head. I felt him twitch and I began to cry running my fingers through his hair.
"My love, wake up." I try again when he finally twerk up in a brisk matter, rubbing his eyes, and when he lowers his hand he looks straight at me. I couldn't help but smile at him.
"Sleepyhead you are," I said with a giggle, but I took notice of how he has dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are so red and puffy from all the crying. My heart broke from the sight.
Was he crying that much? Poor Naru.
Slowly he seems to realize the situation as he grabs my hand and slowly began to trace my hand with his fingers, up to my cheeks, with his knuckles, caressing it gently. He barely said anything as I continue to smile at him, closing my eyes leaning into his touch.
"My love... I love... your touches." I genuinely said from the bottom of my heart as I opened to see Naru not believing this at all that his eyes gloss over with unshed tears.
"I'm sorry that… I scared you." I said as I licked my dry lips. Naru shook his head while he lifts his hand and slaps his cheek.
"M...Mai, I'm not dreaming? Please tell me that I'm not dreaming." He begs me not to believe his eyes. I shook my head as I lift my hand and wiggle my fingers.
"If it was your dream, you'll be getting... your tea by now," I joked while he grabs a hold of my hand and held it against his cheek, feeling my warmth returning to me. I couldn't stop looking at him while he lowers my hand and looks over me.
"Mai!" he whispers my name, but I can hear relief pure relief in his tone.
"Hi, miss me?" I smiled again as he couldn't help but smile back at me lowering his head.
"Hi, so you're not a dream?" he asks to make sure as he lifts his gaze.
"Yes Naru, I am. I'm really am, this… Isn't a dream." I assured him. Naru lets out the loudest breath of relief I ever heard, as he sits on the edge of our bed and bends down to pick me up so gently, and wraps his arm around me, making me wrap my arms around his waist.
He held me tight in his big arms, while I bury my face in his warm chest, which I thought I was never going to enjoy ever again.
"Thank you for coming back to me." He said with a deep emotion behind his voice. I grasp his shirt, closing my eyes feeling my heart racing as butterflies filled my stomach.
He looks down and began to caress my nose with his in a loving way.
"I can't live without you Mai," Naru admits with such grief and longing touching my heart.
"Me either Naru, I can't live without you," I admit as he finally breaks down letting his tears go, and held me tight in his arms and for the first time I see Naru crying so hard for me touching me deeply.
Little did I knew, how many emotions this man was feeling at that very moment. How much this man has grown to love me.
…
...
...
…..
I was far too weak to move, so Naru manages to get us food and water. He helped me to use the bathroom, then help me sit against the wall I was too weak to go and bathe, so Naru helps me wash with a wet cloth. Naru wouldn't let me out of his sight at all, for which I was grateful.
I watch Naru bring in lots of food and water. I smile at him as he came up and sat next to me and began to peel mangoes with that dreadful knife, up to this day, I still hate it, it brings sot many bad memories.
"Hmm, here," he said, so I open my mouth and he places it inside of my mouth. I licked the juices while chewing the juicy mango, making my insides jump with joy. I took notice that Naru's lips are dry and he's so pale just like earlier.
I move my hand and grasp his causing him to look at me.
"Do you need anything else?" he asks looking worried. I shook my head.
He hasn't eaten or drank anything, how long was I out? How come he still up? He surely will refuse to eat anything until I'm well fed. My heart clenched at this.
"Feed me another mango," I told him. He nods and peals another peace using the knife then places it on my lips. I don't chew it, as I lift my hand and single him with my finger to get closer. He arched a brow at me but doesn't question me.
As he got inches closer, I pushed myself slowly forward.
"Mai, don't... Hphm," He was cut off as I press my lips on his and pushed the mango peace into his lips. He forces his lips open feeling his tongue graze mine, a shiver runs down my spine as he has his eyes open wide. I felt him take the mango and I retreated as he began to chew on the mango and gave me a taken aback look.
"You need to eat, if I asked you, you would refuse, now eat please," I said blushing hard as I lowered my gaze looking at my lap. Naru licked his lips as he began to eat slowly feeding me, but his eyes wouldn't stop looking at me, nor could I. I think I did something I shouldn't, but I didn't care because I love the way he's looking at me with those eyes of his.
After we were done, Naru slips next to me after he helps me lay down. I turn to look at him and he looks like a kid in a candy shop, his blue eyes were shining and bouncing in a way I can't describe, but it made me so happy. He slips his arm around my waist and tucks me closer to him.
"We have lots to talk about," he said as I rose my hand and began to brush my knuckles under his chin.
"I know," I said as he closed his eyes and snuggles by my side, burying his face on the side of my neck, taking in a big breath.
"Can we speak later?" I asked. He nods at me while I move my hand down and grab his.
"I have never seen you cry so much Naru, I never thought that I would see you like that," I admit. He lifts his gaze to look at me, moving his hand to caress my cheek.
"I thought I lost you forever, I wasn't joking Mai, even if I don't say it, but I can't live without you. You're deep in my heart." he swallows hard as I frowned at him.
"I know I'm selfish, but you broke my walls, I never thought that losing you for those few hours was the worse for me. I thought it was Gene all over again, but worse," he admits to me. I snuggle up to his chest and place my cheek on his warm chest.
"At least you have your parents, so you must have gone living." Naru shook his head.
"I would have died from a broken heart. You have no idea how much you mean to me. After being stuck here for seven years Mai and depended on each other, it changes a person. I don't know-how in the world we are going to go back to normal, but I can't separate from you, not even for an hour." I look up at him and nodded.
"Me either, when you weren't with me, I couldn't even sleep, I had anxiety and panic attacks, my heart felt like it was in constant agony and loneliness. If it wasn't for Sasuke, I would have lost it."
"Sasuke?" Naru asks, I nodded at him.
"He pretended to be you in that strange dream world thing. He even slept next to me so I could sleep a little, and brought me food. I think he even kissed me, but I can't remember." I blinked causing Naru, to go rigid.
"He kissed you?" He asks a bit stricken by my words as my eyes narrow.
"In the forehead, I think, but he's you, and he was a gentleman, so…" Naru suddenly lowered himself and began to kiss my forehead and down to the bridge of my nose, and then he reaches my lips, giving it multiple kisses taking my breath. He moves back and I gave him a half daze look as a goofy smile appears on my lips.
"Well then," I licked my lips as he shook his head.
"I don't care if he's me, he's not allowed to kiss you," He said seriously. I squint my eyes but then a let a giggle escape me.
"You're jealous?" I told him. He clears his throat and shook his head.
"No," he said, but I move my hands and began to tickle at his side causing him to jerk a bit.
"Hey," He said as I smiled broadly at him.
"You're jealous, it's nice to see. Alright, I won't let anyone kiss me that is not you." I said as I pucker my lips up for him to kiss me. I didn't receive anything as I open my eyes to see him looking at me with an odd expression that causes my heart to jump.
"Ne, Naru?" he leans down kissing my forehead, and wrap his arms around me as I wrap my arm around him, rubbing his back.
"You're so cute." he suddenly said causing my face to flare up.
"Eii?" I was taken aback as he held me tight, not wanting me to see his face.
"Give me a minute, I will tell you this, I find you so adorable Mai, thank you for being my loving wife." He said to me. My heart would have just gushed out it if it wasn't in place on my chest. I couldn't help but smile as I held him tighter.
"Thank you for being my loving husband."
o.O
"What are you doing?" I asked Naru as I opened my eyes to see Naru staring at me. We both still lay in our bed, only being able to sleep for an hour. My body felt so stiff to do anything. At least Naru looks a bit better.
"Watching you," he said as he grabs my hand, and place it against his chest.
"You've been up just watching me?" I asked. He nods softly on which I couldn't help but smile at him.
"You should rest, it's been a very tiresome day," I told him as I use my free hand to brush his hair.
"I'm afraid," he said.
"Afraid? You Shibuya-chan, afraid?" I teased causing him to nod as a kid. My heart clenched at his sudden movement.
"Naru?"
"I'm afraid if I fall asleep and wake up, you would be dead instead of alive. I'm still in shock, I'm trying to progress what just happen to you. I'm trying to figure out how you came back alive? The scientific part of my mind can't come up with this logic. You did die." he admits.
"A miracle, I was told that God heard your prayers so He sent me back to you. So you prayed?" I asked. His eyes narrow, but scoot closer to me.
"I never prayed like tonight. Thank God." He simply said, but I'm sure he still trying to figure this one out. I nodded at him.
"Don't think of it too much Naru, just let it be, I'm alive and well, just sore and weak for the moment," I admit. He shook his head as he presses my hand against his lips and began to kiss my fingers.
"Naru,"
"Hmm?" he lifts his gaze to me.
"When you were leaving, you were about to tell me something, what is it?" I asked. Naru's face turns red and shook his head.
"Nothing," he said, I frowned in disappointment. I lowered my gaze.
"Oh, is not like I died or anything," I grumpily said but Naru takes a hold of my chin causing me to look up at him.
"Mai, nobody will ever love me like the way you do, or will I ever love anyone the way I do with you," Tears fall in the corner of my eye as I leaned forward and gave him a soft kiss, which shook me to the core when he returned the kiss.
"Thank you, thank you for loving me and protecting me. I love you so much Naru and I will never regret today because you're worth it." I said
"I would die for you as well Mai." Naru said as we continue to kiss without stopping and boy, now that I think of it, Naru is a wonderful kisser which drives me crazy to the pint that my knees grows weak each time. I couldn't get enough.
I don't want to ever stop kissing him.
Deleted Scene: The Fifth year in Black Lagoon.
Mai pov
It's one of the hottest days since we arrived. I frowned while I sat in front of the mirror while brushing my hair, but I place the brush down and huff in frustration.
"Is so hot... I miss the air condition. I can't take this anymore." I grunt in protest, as I fan myself with one of the books I took from the corner of the room.
I didn't even notice Naru coming up the stairs, wearing only his pants, which he removed his shirt as well. He stops and arched a brow to see me half-naked.
He sneaks around me and surprises me when he wraps his arms around my middle section. I jump, turning to look at him.
"Eh? Naru, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I said as I rub my chest. Naru shook his head, as I felt his naked hot skin pressing against my back. I just leaned into him, enjoying it.
"Are you trying to seduce me?" He asks as I arched a brow and then looked down, remembering that I'm bare. I blushed hard and shook my head.
"No, I'm sorry, it's so hot, I cant' stand the shirt any longer." I reach down to grab my shirt, but Naru shook his head and held me still.
"It's fine, is not like I haven't seen you naked before." He said making me blush hard when he moves my long hair over my shoulder and lowered himself to kiss my shoulder. I shiver in delight at his gentle kisses.
"Ne, Naru," I asked as I turned to look at him.
"Hmm?" He asks as my eyes roam his chest, he has some sweat rolling down his skin and a bit of redness. I licked my lips as I look up at his eyes.
"Want to go skinny dipping?" I asked him.
"Butt naked?" He asks. I nodded at him. He thought about it and nods.
"It's better than being under this heat." He agrees to cause me to smile at him. I stood up as he looks up at me, but then surprises me when he wraps his arm around my waist and presses his lips on my stomach. I jump from delight and shock.
"My love, what are you doing?" I run my fingers through his soft damp hair, as he looks up at me and blinks.
"I want you to remember something," I tilt my head.
"What?" I asked curiously.
He kisses my stomach once again and lift himself to wrap his arms around my waist and pushed me against him, now feeling his chest pressed against mine. I felt in heaven, loving the skin and skin contact.
"I know you have low esteem when it comes to your body, but remember something, I don't care, you're perfect for me, you drive me crazy, I'm crazy for you, for your body, your heart, your everything," he assures me. I squint my eyes as he leans down to kiss my cheek, down to my neck. I arch up to give him more access, as I rolled my eyes, as he began to kiss and caress it.
"Even...Even if I get an ugly scar?" I gasped out as I bite my lower lip enjoying his touches and kisses. He began to draw circles on my waist and nods.
"I don't care of anything Mai, while you're with me and I can touch you like this and hold you, and you remain by my side, I don't care of anything. I just wanted to tell you as you know this island has our friendly neighbors and anything can happen." I turn my head to look at his eyes after he lifts them. I could feel his sincerity causing my heart to warm up.
"Same here Naru, all I want is you with me because I can't live without,"
