Capital Letters Of Wild Heaven (ONC 2022)

CHAPTER 08

Marcelli Eirene Banasiewiez

"Oh shit."

He might be also feeling my bare breast against his skin.  Because of embarrassment, I hide my face in the crook of his neck.  Oren put his arm as if that would help to hide my nakedness underwater.

"Where is it?" He's referring to my bra.

"It sinks."

"Damn.  That's why I can feel your nipple." Oren said to himself.

I distance myself and smack his shoulder.  "Jerk!"

Oren quickly pulled me back to him.  "Don't move, someone might see your little bud."

I got shy and hid my face again.  I hate this temperature.  The water is cold but the fact that I'm only in my underwear and Oren's feeling my nipple makes me feel hot.  I hope no one notices the situation we're in.

"Why is it hard?" Oren ended the silence.

"What?"

"Your nipple."

I almost forgot that he's a virgin and he might only know a few about the opposite sex. Though he says that he hasn't had any women and the dude even has an untouched lip, some kids knew some of this basic information.

"It's because it's cold." I still explain.

"Oh, like our wood when it's cold." Please, he sounds like a child discovering the flavor of color.

I grunt on his neck.  "How do you even get off?" That was a question for me but he still answered.

"I watched, muffin, of course." Said Oren in a proud voice.

"With no sound?"

"With a sound."

"What a brave man."

We agreed to go when there are few people left and that would be at night.  And while waiting, we watched the sunset and I would be lying If I said that this wasn't one of the romantic scenarios I experienced.

Of course, I also once watched a sunset with my ex but it's different.  The past was like the other couple, sitting on sand and with heads to each other.  While Oren and I are in the water, with me having no bra.

This moment will be a memory once we're back.

Suddenly it saddened me.  I don't want to entertain it so I just gazed at our surroundings, noticing only people walking around.

"I think it's safe now," I told him.

Oren takes glances and then at me.  "Let's wait a little longer, someone's sitting beside our lounge?"

"You've said that for the ninth time."

He shrugged. "Just being careful."

"You okay? Your lips are purple."

He shakes her head yes.  "It was just cold and we're here for almost thirty minutes."

I bit my lower lip.  "Let's go now before we freeze to death."

Oren debated with me and good thing I won because he's shaking. He walked over the shore with me clinging to him like a Kuala.  It was a little dark so it would be hard for them to notice I was half bare.

Oren put a towel on me without looking. When we got home, I only cooked instant noodles because we're both starving and cold.

It was midnight when I woke up.  Oren is shaking as I look over the barrier of pillows between us.  He's even muttering something incomprehensible.   I touched his forehead with the back of my palm.  He's burning!

Even when I just woke up, I quickly made porridge, bringing it upstairs together with medicine and water.

"Oren," I woke him.

He grunted but opened his eyes.

"Sugarplum?"

Damn, that horse voice.  Now, he is hot literally and figuratively.

I rolled my eyes to erase the thought.  "Yes, you need to eat."

"Huh? Is there a zombie outside?"

"No, you have a fever."

"Oh, okay."

I help him sit then feed him.  All the while, he was staring at me so I got conscious.  A minute has passed and he's still not taking his eyes off me.  So, I carelessly shove the spoon in his mouth.  It scalded his tongue.

"Aw! Why did you do that?!" Oren hissed, reaching for the glass of water on the bedside table.

I shot him a look.  "You're staring!"

"And so? Am I not allowed?" He said after setting the glass of water.

"I hate people staring at me!" And it's making me uncomfortable.

I shrieked when he moved to hold my nape and bring my head near to him so that I could see myself in his eyes.  The beating of my heart becomes even at the closeness and my breathing slows down.

I didn't dare to move because I could feel his breath fanning on my lips.  Only means that we're that close. One wrong move and we might kiss.

That's not so bad—

Shut up!

My hand holds his, that's holding me to make him let go of me but it melted as he put his forehead to mine, still looking at my eyes.

What the hell!

"W-What are you doing?"

That made him chuckle.  "So, you'll get used to me staring at you."

I don't know what to feel.  Because he fucking laugh and that's enough to wake me from admiring how I can see myself on his eyes. 

I cough and distance myself. He let me  and I ignored what he said and continued feeding him.  He drank his medicine and we lay down.  I thought we were done but he's shaking again after an hour.  The medicine was not effecting yet.

"Fruity pops," Oren called in a stuttering voice.

"Why?"

He looked at me with his sleepy eyes.  "I need a hug."

An eyebrow rose up at the thick blanket I put on him.  "And why is that?"

"Look at me, I'm shivering.  Can't you feel sympathy for me?"

Yes, "I don't." But I'm not gonna tell you.

"I'm dying because of coldness, I'm telling this to my parents---"

I dived to his side before he could continue and hugged him.  "Fucking fine."

Though, half of me is waiting for him to blackmail me so I could have him in my arms without him thinking I want it.

Oren embraced me back and even comfortably put his one leg over mine.  It took a minute before I melted into his arms, my head pressing on his chest.

I'm not sure what it is but I felt a soft thing on my forehead before drifting off.
