Chapter 27: I Love You

A/N
Double update today! Yay!
I'm about to wrap this up, so this is probably the penultimate chapter. I hope I am not boring you all to death with this. ☹️

FLUKE
Ohm and I have been spending more time together. We're becoming closer and more comfortable with each other. I'm still struggling with my memory, but there has been moments and situations that seem familiar to me. I haven't told Ohm yet because I'm not even sure myself and I don't want him to get his hopes up.

We've been going out on dates and when we're not, we are at the café or spending time at home. I have become accustomed to this. Ohm has been amazing throughout. Just going with the flow and not pressuring me into anything.

Earth suggested that we needed to go away to take a break from everything because, things have been hectic. He told me about the family's beach villa and suggested we go there for a few nights. He assured me that he and Kao would join us the next day as they needed to first finish up with the fashion show that they both were involved in. So Ohm and would head there first.

The drive there wasn't adventurous, but I was just taking in the scenery of the route. We made sure to buy some food and necessities for our stay at the villa along the way. We arrive at the villa and I immediately feel the calmness. We walk in and  I get this overwhelming feeling that I can't explain as I look around.

I don't know how, but I found myself captured in Ohm's embrace. "Why are you crying baby? Do you not like it here? We can always go back if you don't like it", he says still holding me in his arms. I don't even know when I started crying, but there I was. I don't know what happened in the past year that turned me into a cry baby.

"It's perfect here, P'Ohm. I love it. Can we go to the beach later. I want to see the sunset". I asked Ohm as I wipe my tears off.
"Of course, we can do whatever you want, but first, we must eat. I'm hungry", Ohm says.
"OK, I will cook, you sit there", I offered.
"How about we cook together. That way we'll finish sooner giving us enough time to enjoy the sunset", Ohm countered. It makes sense. So we're in the kitchen getting our ingredients together as we start cooking.

"Here, taste this", Ohm says as he turns to me with a spoon and proceeds to feed me the food to taste. As he feeds me the food we lock eyes. I can't keep my eyes off him. I scan his face, his eyes, his nose and his lips, and it seems he's doing the same. Lost in the moment some of the food spills to the side of my mouth. Instinctively Ohm moves his other hand to my face and with his thumb he removes the food, but proceeds to run his thumb onto my lips. This  sends me to the edge and I find myself on my tippy toes and bringing my face close to him and kissing him on the lips.

"Fluke, wa.." Ohm tries to speak in between my kiss.
I wrap my arms around his neck and momentarily stop the kiss.
"Please, P'Ohm. Don't stop me. Just...kiss me".  I say to him in a whisper. I pull him down a little by the neck to bring him closer to me and kiss him again. He hesitates a bit, but he soon gives into my kiss and kisses me back. As our kiss gets intense, he drops the spoon and puts his hands on my waist a hoists me up and puts me on the kitchen counter as we continue to kiss. Ohm eventually pulls away.
"Not like this, Fluke. I don't want to take advantage of your vulnerability right now. As much as I want this, we can't right now", Ohm says as he caresses my face.

"Please don't feel guilty, P'Ohm. I initiated this. I wanted this. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I'm sorry I got caught in the moment"
"You don't need to apologize to me. And just so you know, you can never make me feel uncomfortable, OK? ". He says as he brings me down from the counter.
"Let's finish up cooking so we can go to the beach, hmm? Ohm suggestsand I nod.

We have our food. Ohm gives me some time to go get ready for the beach. He directs me to the room where he says some of my things are and where I'd be sleeping. As I look through the closet looking for something appropriate to wear to the beach,  I find a cellphone, which I assume was mine. I think I'll look at when we come back from the beach later.
