The Red Bow [Chaelisa]

23. After

January 10, 2015. – First year of college.

Lisa’s point of view.

When I opened my eyes that morning, my body was able to detect various types of emotions at the same time that I did not know that I would be able to feel. First the discomfort of my eyes with the direct contact with the sunlight that passed through the huge hole in the ceiling. Then a slight stinging between my legs, which made my mind, until then sleepwalking, travel the night before. And then I feel the tingling in my left arm and my eyes fall into a blonde hair tucked in the curve of my neck. I smile when I realize that Chaeyoung and I were more than ever tangled together with legs intertwined and her left arm possessively hugging my torso as if she feared I would run away in the middle of the night, in addition, of course, to her wonderful Marshmallow scent.

And we are naked.

The warmth of her skin against mine made my smile increase twice as much. Remembering our sweaty bodies in sync was a kind of trophy that I had won, one that I would remember as one of the best days of my life. It had been perfect. I took a strand of hair from the face mashed in my chest and placed it behind Chaeyoung’s ear to better admire her face. If before there was any residue of doubt about wanting to have her by my side in the future, these stupid doubts were thrown into hell from the moment she gave herself to me body and soul that night, in the same way that I never thought that would give to someone of such free and spontaneous will. I once read that the night belongs to poets, whores and those who die of love. I was dying of love every night and I didn’t even care.

My index finger ran over the smooth, delicate skin of that woman girl, recognizing every detail of her face as my greatest gift.

"Chae," I called, filling her face with loving kisses. “Time to wake up, princess.“ Chaeyoung moved uncomfortably and then made a face, which made me laugh adoring all that morning. “Think on the bright side, today is Saturday and we’ll be able to watch movies all day on the couch in your living room.“ I took a deep breath feeling her breath against my neck. “Or your dad will kick us into the bedroom, this is also an opportunity."

She laughed heartily against my skin, causing various kinds of chills to go through my body. I didn’t remember feeling as free and happy as I did then.

"You chose me, love. Your in-laws are part of the package.“ she murmured, raising her face at mine.

I couldn’t help but sigh at the cuteness of that girl, she didn’t look anything like the uninhibited girl from last night. Chaeyoung scratched her eyes childishly and I leaned over to kiss her, but I was shoved by the shoulder.

"Do not you dare! I haven’t brushed my teeth and I probably have a breath." She complained, covering her mouth with one hand.

My only reaction was to laugh at that scared face.

"We are holding each other naked and you want to stop me from kissing you good morning? You know the last thing that what matters is your breath.“ I mumbled pushing Chaeyoung’s body slightly so that I could mount her hips and pin her arms above her head. I started to laugh when she locked her lips and turned her face with raised eyebrows. “Ah, so it will be like this? Are you really going to refuse your girl?"

“Huuuum …“ she murmured staring at the candle light on the floor.

As I was still a little drowsy, I decided to give up on kissing her for the moment and leaned over my body and buried my face in her hot neck for a moment, I needed to build up the courage to get up. In a sudden movement, Chaeyoung pushed me aside again and laid her head on my chest, we started to laugh at the loveliness of that adorable being.
