World after Worlds: Brightest Star

CHAPTER 79

"You're my girlfriend, I can stare at you all I want. You can't forbid me to do that." He laughed and petted her hair.

"I don't want it!" She ranted like a child and hit his back with her fist. He didn't say anything, it was like a massage, it didn't hurt at all.

"You've been sleeping a lot," he changed the topic and reached out for her chin. Alyx made her face him, "Should I walk you on the seaside? To exercise?" It was a tender invitation that Yanarym nodded.

He got up from bed and dressed his body that was only wearing a boxer. Yanarym watched him put on some clothes. Well, she couldn't get enough of seeing his body. Every time he got off from the bed and did a short skit of flexing his muscles, she was always captivated. He wore a sleeveless top, and loose pajamas, which defined his chest, back muscle, and his biceps. Geez, what a hottie.

"And you're the one who pampered me to sleep day and night. Don't blame me for sleeping a lot, it's your fault." She said and yawned before sitting up on the bed. Alyx climbed back to the bed and leveled their faces.

"Because you made me love you so much, that's your fault." He whispered to her face and pecked on her lips before smiling at her boyishly. "Come on," Alyx said and knelt on the floor facing his back on her. "Rym."

"What are you doing?"

"Hop on."

"I thought we're going to walk?"

"I said, I'm going to walk you, not walk with me." She didn't say anything anymore, after all, she became too lazy to use her legs to walk too.

Actually, her foot hasn't touched the floor yet, only the bed and the jacuzzi in the bathroom, and the tiles on the toilet bowl. Alyx didn't leave her side even when she's taking a dump which was pretty embarrassing. He's treating her like a totally disabled person who can't walk at all. But what surprises her is that they've been staying here for five days without him working on something concerning his business in Manila. This businessman wasn't caring about his business the entire week at all.

They ambled on the seashore with the soothing sound of the ocean waves. The cold breeze hitting their skin wasn't that chilly because their bodies were in close contact. Yanarym was locking her arms to his neck and resting her head on his broad shoulders. Her eyes were mesmerized at the beautiful landscape view, where the ocean reflected the stars in the sky.

"Can't I walk now?" She shifted her attention on Alyx as she sways her hanging feet.

"It's cold, If your feet get wet, you'll get sick." He casually said.

Yanarym 'puffed' and held her laughter. That was such a romantic assertion, however, because he was way too casual talking about it, he sounded like talking about investments or regarding the company. It's cliche, but not cringy.

After some slow strolling on the seaside, Yanarym saw a bonfire ahead of them. Beside it was a little shelter made of banana leaves and wooden sticks. Similar to a tent but made out of natural materials. Inside, she saw a wool mattress bed and lots of pillows.

"Really? There's foam in the middle of the beach?" She laughs at him as he puts her down on the soft and warm wool. And she could feel the spring of a real mattress beneath the wool top itself.

"What? The sand is not hard but not soft, you might get uncomfortable." Alyx defended himself with a straight face and sat beside her. Yanarym gaped at him, he cannot! The male lead is such...

"How could you spoil me so much? You should get me used to this. I will miss this."

"Why would you miss it, if I'll always be like this to you." Yanarym lay down, and she looked at the stars. She extended her arms and opened her palms as if reaching for them.

"How many worlds do you think there are, Alyx?"

"Planets? I don't think I could answer that, there are infinite of them." He laid next to her.

Yanarym shifted her face at him, "Infinite, huh." She smiled knowingly. Alyx reaches for her arms and holds them to his body. He gazed at her eyes and she gazed back at him. Sometimes he felt like she would leave him without a warning. There are moments like this one that he could perceive that she was bidding her words of goodbye. A fleeting butterfly that comes and goes, just like that in their lives.

Alyx let the comfortable silence reign between the two of them. She redirected her eyes to the sky but he kept on gazing at her. Especially to her eyes, which look so dreamy and alive, as if she was thrilled for something from watching the stars dazzle to her eyes.

"Thank you." Yanarym uttered in soft whisper, "I enjoyed our vacation." Her smile widened when their eyes met again. "You're always looking at me, aren't you tired of my face?"

"I always look at your photos when I am not with you, my office has a giant printed photo of you. Every side of the company has your promotional statue. In my own place, in my bedroom, there is a projected video of your face. When I wake up, when I fall asleep, when I work or when I take a break. Whatever or wherever it is, I always want to see you. Now that you are with me, I still keep on looking at you... " He swiftly placed his arms to the sides of her head, locking her eyes to his. He felt the warmth and softness of her body that he's crashing upon topping her.

Yanarym clasps her arms to his neck to reciprocate his sweet actions. She smiled as she thought how his fetish of watching her face seems to never end.
