Chapter 16

"Here's the result Miss Potter." Mr Barton the inspector said to me, handing over a piece of paper.

"Thank you." I smiled, taking the paper from his hand.

He lazily smile back at me while adjusting his glasses. I leaned to my side where Gigi is standing.

"Hey, I have to go. Here take this." I whisper giving her the paper.

"Aren't you going to stay for another week?" she asked.

I shake my head for No.

"What's the rush any-?" But before she could finish her last word I sprinted out from the club, to the back door, out in the alleyway and into the parking lot beside the club where my car was parked.

I quickly get in and start the engine. I miss my car, I haven't used it for a week because I always get a cab and I'm too lazy to drive around the city.

I was eager to get home, driving like a lunatic on the express way, maybe I'm exaggerating on being a 'lunatic' driver but I'm driving 20kph more than my usual speed and being careful to get home so I'm still in one piece.

I don't know what overtook me that make me not to stop driving to get something to eat, drink or even go to the toilet for the 6 hours drive home but I stop once to get my car refuelled. (You can't drive without a fuel thrust me).

As I parked my car just outside the garage, I get out, grab my suitcase from the trunk and walk to the front door.

I knock twice before the front door flung open and saw Troy behind it smiling.

"Hey." I said putting my bag down beside me.

"Hey." He said back.

He took a step closer to me that made my breathe quicken, then I feel his arms slowly elope me in a tight but comfy hug. I was taken aback by his action but then I recover quickly and hug him back.

I want us to stay like this forever but that would be impossible. I slowly pull away from the hug and look at him.

"Would you happen to have any cooked food? I'm starving." I asked shyly. Who wouldn't be hungry for not eating for nearly the whole day? Because even breakfast weren't invited this morning.

"Of course." The smile never left his red luscious lips.

He move aside so that I can come in. I carry my bag upstairs and into my room. I flick on the light in my room, the smell of my perfume welcome me warmly.

I put my bag down beside the closet, put on some comfortable t-shirt and a boy's short. I tie my hair into a messy ponytail and get out from my room.

I jog downstairs and heard a door being close. I went to the kitchen and look for Troy, but his not there. I heard a door being open; I peek through the kitchen door and saw Troy slowly closing the back door while looking down.

"Hey! Where's the-."

"Hey...umm...saw some people last night...umm..." He pauses. "Umm...the dinner? Its outside." he said looking down again.

"Oh...." I made an 'O' shape with my lips and walk to where he is.

We stand there for a few minutes not talking or even looking at each other.

"Okay then let's eat." I finally said, breaking the silence and opening the back door that leads to the beach.

I saw a fire dancing with the wind, just a meter away from it were a blanket spread across the sand and there were foods scattered around it. Food........

I stand there staring at it for a few minutes.

"I...umm...I saw these people...um last night...umm...doing this last night...so umm...I wanted to do it too." he stammer.

"Let's eat then I'm starving." I grab his hand and pull him to where he set the dinner up.

We ate silently under the stars, near a blazing fire and under the spell of the crashing waves surrounded us.

It was nice. It was good. It was beyond awesome. I just can't jump up and down in front of him but surely doing it in my head at this very moment.

We decided to stay outside instead of going back inside. We sat there, savoring our wine while watching the stars.

As he looks straight up into the glittering night sky, I look straight at him. His eyes reflecting the thousands stars above. His lips were in a curve smile, his mahogany colored hair were rumpled around but cute. I copied his gesture and look up at the night sky.

What was he thinking right now? Is he thinking about what we're doing right now? This is not something that friends do; this is a couple thing and unfortunately were so far away from being one.

Suddenly a falling star pass the sky. I close my eyes and make a wish. I know that my wish will going to sound selfish or it is but I wish that he'll stay with me forever and don't make him remember his past. I know I'm selfish but you'll understand.

As I finish my wish and being a narcissistic bitch on it, but still, some parts of me, SOME okay, wishes that he'll remember his past and be with his family.

I open my eyes and saw Troy looking at me.

"What?" I asked with a little laugh.

"What did you wish?" he asked while giving me a spill-it-out smile.

"It's nothing." I said adjusting myself a few inches but instead adjusting into more comfortable position, I stuck myself in the most awkward position.

My face were an inch away from his, my breathe quickens making me inhale and exhale loudly, my chest heave heavily, my heart jump frantically against my chest as he slowly leans toward me. Is this real?!

Inches become centimeters, as centimeters become millimeters but I could not wait any longer.

Before any millisecond could pass by, I grab his face and pull it against mine, crashing my lips to his soft, warm, red luscious lips.

As my lips held his lower lip as prisoner between mine, savoring it while both of my hands roam free on the back of his head, grabbing and releasing a handful of his now very messy hair. He slowly lies on his back, placing his hand on my waist and carefully lay me on the top of him.

As we lay there tasting each other, our lips dancing in synchronize. I could only think of him and his tasteful lips and how much I wanted it to be real, and now it is. It's a hundred times better that I imagine.

Our lips never left each others, enjoying each moment of it while it last.

I've never been kiss like this before; it was different that I can't even explain because they haven't invented a word for it yet.

As we both pull away from the kiss, we stare at each other's eyes catching our breathe without saying anything.

We stay outside for a while, cuddling in our small cosy blanket and a nice warm fire beside us. It was the best night ever that I wish would never end.

Nothing could go wrong now......

Thanks!
