Emancipating The Love (On-going)

Chapter 15

For Forever

Lea woke up in someone's arms, the night prior was something she can't point her finger to. She remembers it, but in a way she can't mentally recall the scenarios. All she could think of was Aga's entertaining stories and the low sound of his laugh as she giggled with him and ate food that was surely not healthy while being snuggled in thick layers of blankets.

Her waist was snatched as the man hugged her tighter and buried his face on her neck. As a woman with pride so high, and walls built strong, Lea would normally be cringe of what was happening, even just hearing it from other people makes her want to gag. However... what he did twirled her stomach, she wanted to puke so bad; not because she was disgusted, but because she was - Lea doesn't want to think of it - feeling butterflies.

Should she stand up? Should she move? She was a person of pure intelligence, but when it comes to cuddling stuff, Lea was naive.

His breathing tickled her ears, his hands were intimately snaked on her, but he wasn't overboarding. She felt safe with the closeness of his hands on her body.

"Good morning." he whispered, pulling himself closer; their bodies touched more. "Hmmm... good morning. The experience last night was fun." Lea straightforwardly stated, turning herself towards him.

"We should do it more often, to free your mind from work." Lea nodded and leaned her head against his chest. "Do friends do this?" He curiously questioned, stroking her hair.

"Hmm... I don't know, and I don't care." Lea answered honestly, liking their position, the feeling of warmth in his embrace.

"That's the first time I heard that from you, ah? Usually you're all prepared and sophisticated." He watched from outside the window as the birds flew together. Behind Lea was Elli who was hugging a purple bear and had a whole comforter dump on her body, cocooning her inside. The man and her were sharing a duvet, covering two-thirds of their body.

"Why? You don't like it?" She looked up to him, and her bare face took his breath.

"I like you." He stated, mesmerized by the woman's owned beauty. Her eyebrows met, giving him a confused look.

"Oh! I mean, I like it when you do that!" He corrected himself, preventing his mouth from talking more nonsense.

"Don't worry, I like myself, too. The feeling is mutual." She joked then cackled, snorting then sneezing.

"Bless you! Ayan, tama na raw ang pagiging mahangin." He muttered, as he laughed when she hit him, twice.

"I joke once every million years, if you didn't find it funny, your false." Her face was straight, her passive tone was confusing, her eyes blank yet expressive remained neutral. She now jokes twice every million years?

"AHAHAHA! SO FUNNY!" Sarcasm was evident as his straight-white teeth reflected the light, laughing at Lea's 'your false'. Her forehead wrinkled as her eyebrows bridged, her lips pursuing a little forward. He then pinched her cheeks as if it was some kind of squish toy.

"Damn bastard! Get out of the bed! I hate you again! I take it back, I don't want to be your friend!" Her hands aggressively touched him a multiple times, hitting him everywhere, even kicking his legs.

On her last words, 'I don't want to be your friend' the guy grabbed both of her wrist, cuffed it by his hand, and topped himself over her.

"No to friendship? Then, Ms. Leayla Arwell Galvez, do you take me as your husband?" Their faces were inches closer, and closer, and closer. Peck of lips. "Her every move always surprises me. This woman is untameable."
