Five days passed after what happened that night, five days in which no one had wanted to talk about it. We avoided it completely.

We somehow managed to avoid each other all that time and I honestly didn't understand why.

I still remembered perfectly how she corresponded to the kiss, how soft her lips were and my hands running down the sides of her body. I remember how I caressed her legs while she clung to my neck and then passed her hands under my blouse and caressed my back, to end up playing with my hair.

We did nothing but kiss for a long time.

Since then we only talked what was necessary, we no longer even trained on deck at night. According to the brunette, I was already ready to face any enemy and I had nothing to worry about, plus she did not have time to practice with me.

What the fuck could keep her so busy on a boat for five days?

Irritated, I rubbed my neck. This morning I had woken up in a bad mood, my bed was not very comfortable to say the least and my back and neck could confirm that. Not even Gerd's growls were able to intimidate me now, I knew that if he came to me growling I would spill any rudeness that crossed my mind no matter how big and scary it was. Dinah tried to annoy me but came out as surprised as I was when I said certain not very nice things to her. I needed to improve my mood if I didn't want to get in trouble with some other crew member and luckily I hadn't run into Camila so far this day. The last thing I wanted to do was yell at her too and make things worse between us. Because obviously something was going on between the two of us.

Leaning against the wood of the mast, I watched as Camila absentmindedly descended the stairs after leaving the helm and continued on her way to where the captain's cabin was located.

If she didn't want to talk about what happened at the top it was fine but at least she would have to listen to me and know that I was to blame for my sleepless nights since that damn kiss. And the only thing I could think about was her.

I was going crazy.

I walked as fast as I could to catch up with her, managing to do so when the brunette was about to close the cabin door. I positioned my foot so that it prevented being closed and stared at her. Her face reflected surprise, freezing in place. She blinked a few times, shaking her head and then proceeded to open the door fully. She resumed her usual expression, raising an eyebrow and putting her hands on her hips.

"What do you want?" She asked harshly.

"I want to talk."

I did not give her time to respond. Not caring if someone saw me in her cabin, I pushed her inside, closing the door behind me. I noticed how she backed away as I approached her and I couldn't help but smile because Camila was undoubtedly nervous with my presence. My friends often told me that I had a strange habit of intimidating others with my eyes and I liked doing that in a certain way, although sometimes I did it unconsciously. In this place it seemed not to intimidate anyone, however now I had in front of a brunette who seemed to want to run away from me.

"What do you want to talk about?" She said almost in a whisper when I stopped inches from her face, cornered her against an old wardrobe in the room.

"Well, how about we start with the kiss we gave each other?" I looked at her lips. "Or we could just not speak and repeat the thing up there," I whispered close to her ear.

When I finished I dragged my nose down her neck, starting to leave little kisses in the area. I heard her sigh and her hands came to rest on my chest but she made no attempt to pull me away, which I took as a good sign to continue what I was doing. I dared to take her by the waist and stick her closer to my body, again Camila did nothing to stop me. Her hands gave a slight squeeze on my shoulders accompanied by another sigh when I sucked with a little force the skin of her neck and immediately I did it again. I would make sure everyone saw that mark that I had left.
