Chapter 14: Bliss
Each unclear as the next how long the position had been held, sleep bestowed itself upon the two entwined beings….
Rui's POV
I awake as a ray of light hit me straight between the eyes. A faint smell of lilacs linger in the air, a comfortable weight is on me…. Could it be?
I slowly open my eyes to see the very vision of beauty comfortably nestled in my arms…. So it was her that I clung to… not a dream…. As I contemplate these thoughts in silence, her eyes flutter open. Enchanting.
"Are you alright…" she says in a barely audible whisper.
"Mmmmhmm…" was the only reply I could muster. Very literate I know.
"Good," then she snuggled back into my nape and fell once more into deep sleep.
God if this is a dream I want to sleep forever… I silently prayed for this moment to last.
But like all dreams, they come to an end. At about 8 I find the weight gone. I quickly sit up to look for her but I needn't look far. She was leaning by the sliding door nursing a cup of coffee…
"Want one?" she asks.
"Sure," I said moving towards her.
Suddenly a cuppa came into vision… I took it, put it on the nearest surface and said…
"Can I kiss you?" I deserve a kick, very subtle Hanazawa…
"Let's find out." As she tip-toed to give me a chaste kiss on the lips.
I pull her close and prolong and deepen the kiss… lingering, tongue-twisting yet gentle.
Her hands in my hair, then round my neck. In response I settle myself into the nape of her neck with arms wound possessively round her.
