Kande Beach

Evanescent 1: 4 A.M.

Nishaan's POV:

I was awake by cold wind blowing directing into my face. I cold cold. I tapped my arm beside me to notify Jackson that the balcony door was opened but the space beside me was empty. I immediately turned and checked with my half opened eyes. He wasn't there.

Now I was fully aware. I checked the timing and it was 4 o'clock in the morning. It was pretty dark out there.

"Jackson?" I called. My feet touched the ground. I got chills as I was only wearing a crop top and shorts. I rubbed my arms around me, to warm myself up.

"In here," His faint voice travelled through the balcony.

I tiredly walked to the balcony and there he was meditating. "Did I wake you?" he asked as he opened his eyes. 

"You did. You know I can't sleep without you," I slowly made my way to him and carefully slipped myself in his lap. "But continue," I said. He rubbed his hand on my bare tummy.  I rubbed my eyes to remove the remaining sleep as I straddled his lap while he continued to meditate. After a moment or two it had became uncomfortable as I tossed and turn in his lap uncomfortably.

"Why don't you go back to sleep?" 

"I can't," I said annoyingly. I was now awake and it was hard for me to go back to sleep.

'Then meditate with me," He looked down at me.

I stared at him and gave him a bored look but it wasn't a bad idea. I got out of hi lap and sat beside him to meditate. I sat Indian style and placed my arms on my knee as I closed my eyes and started focusing on my breaths with my spine straight.

At first it was okay for a minute or two but then suddenly my mind stared to wonder about my fear of being in Ocean and I immediately opened my eyes. My breathes were quicker now. I glanced at Jackson but thank god, he didn't notice. 

Giving up, I decided to get up and get freshen up. I slowly leaned in and kissed Jackson on the cheek. "I'll go freshen up," I whispered. He hummed in response. I walked out of the balcony and went to bathroom. After my very early morning routine, I decided to make us coffee.

So in my pink little dress, I made us a coffee and I took it upstairs.

"You're at the right time, come!" He grabbed the coffee mugs from my hands and put it aside as we stood near the railing to see the sunrise.

He came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face into the nap of my neck as I giggled. 

He planted a kiss there and I swear, my legs became wobbly the very next moment. 

Also I forgot to add that he was shirtless. 

The sun was rising slowly and slowly and we both watched the sun spreading his virtue all over the world. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my whole life. I looked up to him as my eyes captured him glowing with the golden rays which fell on his beautiful face. He was already looking at me. I smiled and he leaned in as he pecked my lips.  Something was happening inside my stomach. Slowly he made me turn around and captivated me by placing his arms either side of of me.

I placed my arms on his chest awkwardly. He leaned in to kiss and I closed my eyes. 

His lips touched mine and my body might have collapsed. I was not prepared for this in the very early morning. The kiss started slowly and passionately.

I mean, we still hadn't gotten intimate yet. But my confidence always wears down when it came to Jackson. I was nervous because I had never done it. I looked like someone who had done it many times but I hadn't. 

The kiss ended uickly and tht might be becuase of me. He might have senced te tension. He pulled apart and cupped my face. 

"Whenever you're ready," he spoke.

I stared at him and just stared at him. I gently moved my hand to his hair and caressed his back of the head and then I pulled him into me as I hugged him. 

How did I get so lucky?

"I love you," I said.

"I love you," he replied as he hugged me tighter.

We both pulled apart and turned to see the view.

"So what's your plan for today?" I asked.

"I was thinking, maybe we could go to aquarium after school?" 

" Aquarium?" I raised my brows.

"Sounds good!" I replied.

"When will you be back from school?" I turned to face him.

"Not sure, around 7?" 

"Then, what will I do till 7?" 

If he would leave then, I'd be alone in his house. I didn't wanna be lonely. To be honest, I didn't want him to go. I just wanted to be with him all day.

"I really have to go today..."

"It's okay, I'll just watch tv and chill!" I cut him off as I gave him a fake smile to assure him that it was alright. I stared down at my feet.

"I know, you don't like being alone..." he lifted my face up. "But, I'm gonna leave school soon. I'm finding some other jobs too,"

I nodded. 

I didn't know why but I felt sad. 

"I'll get freshen up okay?" He planted a kiss on my forehead and left to bath. I just turned back to the breath taking view. 

Around 7 o'clock he left for work as I hugged him good bye. I was just me and Tiger.

"It's just me and you, buddy!" I turned to tiger who was already making his way inside. I walked behind him and closed the door. I stared at the lock for a moment, wondering if I should lock it or not. 

Shaking my head, I stopped over thinking it.

"It's gonna be fine," I told myself. 

"Let's have breakfast!" I told tiger. We both went to kitchen and after a moment, the whole house had became silent. My anxieties had started creeping in as I immediately ran to the front door and locked it.

Tiger was looking at me like I was a Maniac.

"What!" I looked at him.

The whole day had passed and it was driving me crazy. 

Where was he? 

Ryan and his father came by to pick Tiger up for walk and he left me too.

Jackson came late. 

But I was happy to see him. As long as he was in my sight he was like a glimmering comet. I was waiting for him in the drive way and when I saw his car pulled up, I ran up to him.

"Hi," I greeted him.

"Hey," he sounded tired. I grabbed the bag from his hand and he wrapped his hand around my shoulders.

"Did you eat?" He asked.

"Nope!" I looked unto him. He had apologetic look as he mouthed sorry. I just kissed him on his cheek and giggled.

"What do you wanna have?"

"Whatever you like," I replied with a smile.
