Together Forever (a short story)

8. This Christmas I want us to spend most of our time together

"What? You've got to be kidding us!" One of them shouted in shock. 

"He can't really be your boyfriend. Just look at him. He looks like a Greek God." Christina balled her fingers in anger, feeling humiliated. 

She fumed and all of her cousins' gazes turned into a soft one. They all gave her a 'Are you serious?' type look, and Christina glared at them even harder which gave them their answer. 

" It's just… JuJust impossible!" One of them softly muttered but was heard by Christina. 

"You guys are too much! I regret coming here with you rather than going to see my boyfriend." She chided. 

Christina had not been able to keep her excitement when she had noticed Luke in the church. But she could not meet him as he was sitting in the crowd and she was supposed to hang there until the ceremony was over. 

When it was finally over and Christina put a step ahead to go see Luke, Basil caught her hand and dragged her with herself for a photoshoot. 

"Okay, don't be so angry." One of the cousins said nervously as she observed Christina growing dangerously red. 

Nevertheless, she was answered with a middle finger, "I hate you bitches." before Christina swung around, storming towards Luke. 

He was talking to guys when the tiktok sound of her pencil heels hit his ears with that familiar angelic cologne. As soon as he turned around, his breaths stuck in the lungs and heart stopped beating. 

The surroundings became blurry while the soft romantic music in the background intensified. And to help him have exclusive moment, the lights become dim. 

Anyways, as Christina halted across from him Luke folded his hands with a winning smirk while he was lost in absorbing her beauty. 

He was occupied by her beauty until Ron coughed to tease him, and that luckily brought him back to the world. 

"Uh, hi," Luke greeted her like a nervous teenage boy meeting his boyfriend for the first time after their commitment. 

He was too shocked by her beauty to act himself. 

On the other hand, Christina kept looking at him with a smirk on her face. They were looking at each other with utmost concentration. And to give them some personal space, Ron walked away with other men. 

"Now will you say something or just stare at me?" Christina raised an eyebrow to which he just smiled.

 She came close to him and placed a kiss on his cheek in order to show her cousins, who were looking in her direction, HE belonged to her. 

She wanted them to know that this Greek God was her property only. 

"Looks like my cupcake is angry?" He remarked, placing his hands on her waist and pulling her close. 

Christina dragged themselves to the corner so no one could see them and told him everything which happened a minute ago between her cousins. She was amazed when he laughed at her.

"You will never change, will you?" He asked her with love.

"Never ever. You are mine and I won't let those chicks stare at what's nine." She said innocently yet authoritatively, making his smile falter. 

Something ached him deep inside his heart Luke thought, 

"I wish I could say the same, Tina. But I am not that fortunate. I am soon going to go away… Far away by leaving you alone here.'

Any which ways, she sensed his uneasiness and asked him, "What's wrong, Luke? You seem tense."

"Uh, not-nothing." Luke immediately mouthed.

"But," She was not convinced with his answer as expected. 

"You speak too much, cupcake." Hushing lovingly near her lips, he made her stand touching the pillar and came in front of her.

 His right hand was on her waist and the other was busy caressing her flat tummy. Christina tried alot to push him aside but all in vain, so she gave up and handed herself to him. 

Luke gently kissed her neck. He placed soft kisses there and Christina stood moaning as slow as she can, so that they could not be overheard by others. 

He then made his way to her cleavage and massaged it with his right hand n pinched there which made her hiss in pain and pleasure. He captured her lips for a lasting kiss, and chewed, bit and sucked them hardly. 

Her lips oozed with blood in the process. Realizing this Luke broke the kiss and observed her swollen lips. He felt bad and a frown of hurt was visible on his face.

"Why did you stop?" Christina questioned him in confusion. 

But before he could say anything she understood that by herself. She held his neck and pulled him nearer and latched their lips, assuring that she was okay. After kissing each other for heavenly 15 mins they parted. 

Their foreheads remained joined while his fingers caressed her waist. Christina had her eyes closed as a cute smile of contentment curved on her lips. 

Life can't be better than this. She had everything she ever needed. Be it the support of her parents, a deep love to cherish and a guy who made life heavenly. 

She can't ask for more. 

Christina slowly opened her eyes. When she looked up she couldn't help a smile because he was admiring her with those dark and intense eyes. At that moment she recalled her cousins' words—his eyes were intense and anyone could drown in them. 

"This Christmas I want us to spend most of our time together." She softly said. 

Luke gave her a smile she was not sure she comprehended or not, as she heard him say, "I will try my best."

What does that mean?
