The Untold

Chapter 24.

Beach House - 9h12

The sound of the sea slowly blubbered my sleep, my head lazily coming to sense as the raids of light squished through the subtly parted shutters, moving slightly with the wind outside the cabin. 

A low grunt escaped my lips, hands going for the sheets to cover my face, tiredness still present and not yet gone from my body. 

It was warm under the soft covers, darkness drowning me as I clutched to the side, feeling her heat as I desperately sought for it to absorve me, arm snaking around her form, as she laid her head on the other, face scrunched against the nape of her neck. 

I could feel her scent, her heartbeat- 

A soft giggle made me come back from my sleepy slump, as I realized it had escaped through her lips. 

My eyes were opened, squinted in confusion still, as I realized what I'd been doing and how she'd been awake all along-

My cheek collided with her skin, body turning to the side as I pulled her against me, body fully pressed to hers. 

She was warm and cozy-

She might have smiled this time, leading her hand to the back of my head to slide down my hair, to the top of my shoulders, making me hum in please.

'I was just trying to hide from the light' I ended up mumbling, morning voice hoarse and barely recognizable as I breathed in her scent. 

'It's okay' She quietly replied 'You're warm'

Only then I noticed the cold contrast from her fingertips on my skin, only to subtly raise my chin and face her for the first time 'Are you cold?'

'Not anymore' she shook her head.

I couldn't help but smile. 

Seeing her this close, this naturally, made my heart burst without me even realizing. Just the faint trace of her features, in the dim light, with her bright skin and eyes, the trace of her pinkish lips and the way her hair was unusually out of place, making me want to make the blush of her cheeks even further, by telling her how fucking gorgeous she was.

'What is it?' She asked, nails subtly caressing the nape of my head.

'I'm just looking at you' 

She smiled. Fuck- she was almost shy when she did. The faint and so desirable blush increasing on her skin. 

'Should we get up?' She asked out of sudden, voice seemingly serious 'We don't know when Hope will come and-'

'No fucking way' I instantly interrupted, turning my body to the side as I came back to her neck, eyes shutting in comfort. 

I heard her sigh in annoyance and my lips tugged upwards when I heard the quickened heartbeat of her chest 'You're such a snuggle, I hate that'

'You sure do, princess' 

Her breath hitched this time, making me plant a kiss on her skin with a chuckle. 

She rolled to the side, urging me to lay back on the bed, both arms snaking around her waist as she laid her head on the pillow now, watching me. 

She was so fucking mesmerizing-

Laying on her elbow and leading her hand towards my face, I stared at her as she attentively studied my features, tracing her fingers around my eyebrows, to touch the piercing lying on the corner of the left one 'Did this hurt?'

'Not much'

'How about this one?' She questioned again, this time moving her finger to the corner of my mouth.
