Be It Or Not Unbreakable Bond (Thomesa)

Chapter 17

Paradise was full of the hustle of many people on their way to eat, sounds of pans and pots could be heard from the kitchen as they walked to the mess hall. She glanced around her surroundings and happily breathed in the fresh air, it was surreal that she was really here.

The island settlement was flourishing and thriving under the control of their council, the people chattering with their friends and loved ones whilst children were racing towards the mess hall. Wooden huts were built and scattered around as laundry poles and benches stood outside, patches of garden still in the process.

Her hand was still entwined with his, loving his warmth as the sun shone brightly over the peaceful island. Minho quickly entered first, walking ahead of the two as the food was being served for the evening.

She hesitantly entered the hall, feeling Thomas following behind her as he squeezed her hand in reassurance. All heads snapped in her direction, causing her to release a shaky breath as mumbling filled the air.

Most were curious on how she was still alive while others held judgmental looks, thinking about her betrayal. Teresa felt herself being pulled by Thomas, in the direction where Minho was sitting as he instantly noticed her frightened by everyone staring at her.

He slowly lifted their entwined hands, pressing a soft kiss on the back of her palm as he desperately wanted to comfort her. She smiled softly at him, feeling herself relax by his soothing touch as they sat down next to Minho.

Gally intently stared at her, still finding hard to believe she was alive since he saw her die that day but quickly averted his gaze when Thomas narrowed his eyes at him. A clear warning.

She happily started helping herself to some food, feeling starved for so long. Her plate was soon loaded with what looked like a mini mountain of Frypan's cooking, making Thomas smile.
"You sure you can eat all that, Teresa?" He spoke with a slight laugh as he watched her stare in awe at the food for a few minutes.

"Watch me." She responded, a small smile on her face as she gazed at him determined. He chuckled at her quick response, happy she wasn't caring about people staring at her anymore.

"Teresa, you must be hungry." Minho muttered, his eyes widening at her food portion as he saw her meekly nod in reply.
She moaned in delight as she swallowed bites of the delicious bagel down her throat, her stomach finally getting fed.

Thomas and Minho silently watched her as she quickly devoured her mini mountain of food and closed her eyes in bliss. Teresa leaned slightly against Thomas, feeling exhaustion spread through her body once again as she waited for him to finish.

Thomas noticed the tired look in her beautiful blue eyes, quickly not caring about his unfinished meal anymore as he gently pulled her in the direction of his hut.

They lay in comfortable silence, cocooned in each other's warmth as rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard.
"I'm so full...." She whispered, softly as she burrowed further into his chest. Her hand clutched his shirt, dark raven hair sprayed against his forearm as her small body stayed pressed against his.

His head rested against hers in bliss, breathing her in as he chuckled at her words. He remembered she still looked beautiful even when she was eating that fast. His arm was draped around her small waist, keeping her close as he pressed a light kiss on her head. She sighed at his calming touch and buried her face in his chest, absorbing his warmth.

Thomas gently grabbed her hand, caressing her soft skin before he softly kissed her knuckles and looked at her. Her cheeks flushed red at his intense gaze, staring up at him as he pushed a loose strand of her raven hair behind her ear.

He slowly pressed soft kisses on each of her fingers, opening his brown eyes to watch her cheeks flush more red by the minute. Pleasant tingles spread through her body as she felt him tighten his hold on her waist, bringing her closer to him.

She slowly lifted herself on her elbows, wanting to return his sweet actions as she pressed a soft kiss on his jaw and neck.
He unknowingly leaned into her warm touch, breathing shakily. He smirked as she shyly avoided his gaze and gently lifted her chin with his fingers.

"Your face is red." Thomas whispered, softly as he caressed her rosy cheek.
"It's your fault." Teresa whispered back, quietly as she saw the mischievous glimmer in his brown eyes.
"I know." He spoke with a slight laugh as he softly stroked her hair.
"Shut up." She responded, a small smile on her face as she lightly hit his chest, making Thomas laugh.

"You....you do the same to me, Teresa...." He answered, softly as he was mesmerised by her beautiful blue eyes.
"Do I?" Teresa giggled, moving closer as she gently caressed his rough cheek.

Thomas smiled crookedly, giving her a mild chastising look. "You know you do."
He heard the teasing lint in her voice as it matched the cheerful disposition swimming in her beautiful blue eyes.
"Maybe I don't...." She whispered, softly as she kissed the corner of his mouth. She watched his brown eyes quickly darkened, making her shiver in his arms.

"Do you want me to show you?" Thomas muttered under his breath as he stared at her soft pink lips. He slowly sat up and brushed his nose against hers, dipping his head so he could taste that intoxicating sweetness of her lips again.

Teresa obliged, her eyes heavy lidded as she cupped his face in her palms. Her mouth slanted against his, hungrily as she threaded her fingers through his brown hair. He moaned, returning the kiss with passion as the sweet taste of fruits invaded his mouth.

Thomas gently pressed her into the bed, his elbows propped against her head as his tongue desperately wanted more of her. She deepened the kiss as he groaned, unable to get enough of her.

They were both breathing heavily when their lungs demanded for air and silently stared at one another. He was mesmerised by her long raven hair spilling over the bed, her cheeks flushed red as she tried to catch her breath and her darkened blue eyes, staring up at him. She looked like a fallen angel.

"Don't look at me like that...." She whispered, breathlessly as she felt her pulse racing.
"Like what?" He whispered, softly as he nibbled on her pink lips.

"I can't think straight, Tom...." She muttered under her breath as she brought him closer to her.
"The same goes for me, Teresa...." He murmured as his mouth started wandering down, greedily kissing the soft skin near her jaw and neck.

"We should really go to sleep, Tom. You have a run with Minho tomorrow." She let out breathlessly and ran her fingers through his brown hair, finding it hard to talk.
"I know...." He responded, softly as he pressed a final kiss on her soft skin before laying back on the bed.

Teresa instantly followed him, snuggling back into his chest as she sighed into his warmth. Thomas quickly wrapped his arms around her small waist and buried his face into her soft raven hair. The two soon fell asleep, embraced in each other's arms and peaceful smiles on their faces.
