HYACINTH

chapter 2

[Finding and misunderstandings.]

"We should do it..."

Silence... that's all there is...the hand that was gently stroking Lavinia's hair stopped almost immediately. the comfortable silence was long gone. The air surrounding them thickening every second pass by even though they were outside. It seems like the world has stopped for an answer. Occasionally a gust of wind passes by them trying to make the tension between them less. The only thing That can be heard is the rapid heartbeat... and a shaky, uneven breath.

"Look, Lavinia... if it's for me then I don't want it. I remember that you want this kind of 'things' after marriage and I completely approve that...after all its your life and I am no one to control it-" he was forced to cut off his ranting when he heard a soft chuckle...

Luke pov...

She started to laugh. did I say something wrong. But all I said was true. Well, what's said is said, but that voice of hers. It's been ages since I heard her laugh so heartedly. well of course we goofed around and make her laugh whenever we called each other but that's on the phone and this...this is happening in the real time. With me beside. I can see her face. Those cute dimples that forms on her cheeks, that slight blush that appears across her face. That melodious voice which can lull me to sleep, the way her petite body slightly leans on mine. The pure happiness that radiates from her... I can feel it all. This time without any distractions in between. I may be a creep, but I can hear this laugh all day along.

"Gosh you are a such a dumb idiot...Luke" she said controlling her laugh... "And stop looking at me like that."

"Huh- looking you like what?" My thoughts got cut off by her. I was slightly annoyed that she stopped laughing but that could do ...for now.

"You have literal hearts in your eyes and it's really creepy" just as she said that a shiver ran down her body. "Even I could feel it."

"at least I am your creep." I said giving a smug smile not taking anything she said seriously.

snaking my hands around her waist bringing her closer to me than before, I leaned towards her ears breathing slowly as I snuggled to her neck taking her delicate sweet and flowery scent. Her rapid heartbeats can be heard and feel-ed, and it's making me go crazy just thinking about the things I can do to her. Leaning back, I caressed her cheeks, the soft slightly warm skin feels so nice. Cracking a smile, I locked our eyes together taking in all the details in her face. The tip of her button shaped small fragile nose and the perfectly chubby cheeks were rosy, red by all the blushing. The soft smile on her cherry lips adding to perfection and the chocolate brown eyes doing the role of chocolate drizzle in perfectly baked and decorated cake. "And what was that you were talking about?"

Author pov...

breaking the eye contact Lavinia let out a shaky breath. She may look calm and okay, but she isn't. inside head her thoughts are going wild her hormones are like they got drunk. Her heart is running marathons after marathons nonstop at a speed that even the fastest train will be in shame. Her hands are trembling and legs wiggling, only a person that's observing her very well will notice these in the cold dark night. The tips of her fingers are cold, and her hands are getting sweaty as usual when she gets nervous or overly excited. Taking deeps breaths, she freed herself from Luke's tight grip.

"I was talking about the trip Zeke mentioned..." she said fiddling with her hands while looking at feet.

"Ohh... do you really want to go ..." he said teasingly.

"Yes, I want to go there Luke. It's been so long, last time we went to a trip is before I went abroad." she said in one go, slight anger and excitement can be heard from her voice.
