MY SECOND BUT TRUE LOVE #Wattys2016

CHAPTER FORTY TWO

He gazed into my eyes profoundly whilst his shone like the brightest of the stars. He lifted my chin and pressed his lips on mine. His hand slipped into mine and he pressed it against the door, beside my head. His other arm grabbed my waist tightly. I placed my free hand on his nape and kissed him ardently. It felt as if life was suddenly poured into me. He gently caressed my lips with his tounge, making me want more.

My tongue synchronised with the movements of his warm mouth. Kissing him after long felt like the first sunshine of summer, thawing the tiny snowflakes. Just one touch of his love drifted me to utopia, a place were I wouldn't mind being marooned. Our kissing lips were like two galaxies colliding, creating a beautiful black hole of love which got deeper with every move.

Each contact seemed to be an explosion of a star, an alluring destruction. A simple touch with infinite hidden feelings, a stormy meet of two clear skies, a sunshower, a passionate kiss;

I could feel everything but time. No matter how long and profoundly we had kissed, it seemed as if it had just begun.

He gradually moved away and looked into my eyes. I gazed back, his words reverberated in my mind. "It's my entire world that you see" .

"What do you see?" I asked, knowing that he'd amuse me with his answer.

"Forth is my world and my reflection in it is what I behold" he replied gratifying my curious mind.

"Your reflection is the sunshine of this world, without which no life would sustain here" I responded whilst gazing at his soul, looking through the barrier of his eyes. A beautiful smile appeared on his face and I stared carefully at its formation. The soft corners of his mouth gradually stretched upwards and his lower lips pressed his uppper lip lightly, creating an adorable curve. I didn't realise when I started beaming but it just happened. A strange connection had bounded us. We were silent but our lively breaths, happy eyes and delicate smiles were speaking a hundred words of love every second. As if our souls were embracing and our hearts were sharing their heartbeats. We were creating magic with our gaze, a sparkle rising from our chests, which only we could see. Just a blink of an eye conveyed countless feelings and just a blink of an eye captured them. Our spirits sang with the melody of our heartbeats and breathing. A silent song of love played between us.

"I love you more than words could describe" he whispered while placing a strand of my hair behind my ear, it had become a habit of his.

"I love you more than that" I hushed back.

He raised his eyebrows and replied "I love you the most".

"I love you more than most" I smirked.

He gaped his eyes and whispered "my love for you is infinite".

I smiled and tried saying something but he placed his finger on my lips.

"Shush! Your eyes say more than your voice can" he leaned forward and rested his nose against mine. Our hands entwined and we breathed gradually. I closed my eyes and felt a light peck on my lips. He placed his hand on the back of my head and kissed on my forehead as if claiming his territory. His thumb moved across my jawline and he pressed me against his chest. The sound of his beating heart reached my ears and reminded me of the fateful day, the day our bodies almost burnt but instead our hearts incinerated with love. The fire was behind me with its furious gaze yet I was safe because I was in his embrace. Tears were streaming down my countenance but I knew he was there to soak them and to console me, I knew I wasn't alone anymore. His companionship left no grief for death in my heart, no fear of turning to ashes. He did nothing just held me in his arms and his mere presence is what won my heart.

"I missed you" I quivered.

"I missed you too babe. There wasn't a moment when I hadn't wished you to be by my side" he said softly.

I kissed on his chest and tried to fade the bright colors of the inferno from my mind. I wrapped my arms around him tighter. He quickly responded to my action and hugged me closer.

"Very dark" he murmured.

"Lovely spark" I giggled.

He pulled away and smiled at me.

"By the way, what's with the bag?" He asked curiously.

"Which bag?" I questioned although I knew what he meant.

"That bag of yours in Jade's room. She even told you where you had to sleep. You're staying for tonight?" He rambled and I beamed cheekily.

"Well, you can say more than tonight" I replied in a teasing tone.

"More than tonight? You mean a day or two?" He asked eagerly.

"More" I replied and walked towards the bed.

"What? Hey, Ame don't mess with my head please. For how long?" He whined adorably, making me want to shower him with kisses. His eyebrows were furrowed and a cute expression of impatience formed on his handsome face.

"How many days are there in two weeks?" I asked and smiled from ear to ear.

"No freaking way" he shouted and ran towards me. He engulfed me into a hug and we both fell on the bed. I laughed as my back hit the mattress. He gave me countless, quick kisses on the neck and cheeks. He then looked into my eyes. He looked so happy and I had never seen him that way. I felt delightful too. His hazel eyes shone with glee as if a dream of his had come true. His chest was against mine and his hands held my waist. My arms were on his torso. There was no gap between us except the loving gaze. I traced my finger on his cheek and pecked his lips.

"I'm home" I said as I lived another moment of realisation.

"We're home" he corrected me, conveying our mutual feelings.

"Yes, we are" I smiled.
