Chapter 22:The real confession

Arabella pov
I awoke to a quiet breeze on my face. Peeking my eyes open, I saw a plain white wooden ceiling above me. As I laid there on the bed, I was slowly getting my senses back. My throat felt dry, and my stomach felt flat. The air smelt of medicine & linen. And the atmosphere was quiet. I cranes my neck out the window, and could faintly make out the ocean outside.

'We must've gotten away safely from the Marines..Good, it means that everyone is safe.'

I slowly sat up, and looked around. The room that I was in was definitely a doctors room. Syringes, antibiotics & sowing needles sat on a tray by my bed. Cupboards & the door stood closed.

'There's no way that I'm staying here. I wanna look around.'

I slowly swung my legs around, and gently placed my feet onto the cool ground below. I slowly stood up, and found myself stumbling as I tried to stand. It took me a moment to grab my balance again.

"This might take a while."I said croakily.

I slid my feet in front of the other, and eventually got out the door, and down the hallway. When I was walking, it felt like I was walking through waist deep water. A couple of times, I had to use the wall as a support if the step I tool was too long & strideful. It was starting to get annoying, as I'm a usually faster walked than most people.

'Where the hell am I going anyway?'

Sabo pov
I was walking down the hallway to Arabella's medical room, a food tray in hand. The food that I got her was just some runny yolk eggs, bacon & hash browns, with some apple juice. I walked into her room-

"What..where's Arabella?"

Her bed was empty, and it indicated that she had left the room by herself. I looked around, and sighed.

"I had a feeling she'd do this...what am I gonna do with the breakfast? I wanna eat it...but its for her. What a dilemma.."

I immediately decided to look around the ship for her. This time, I went down the opposite direction to where I came from. I checked in a couple of rooms, and found that Arabella wasn't in any of them. As I went along, I was also trying to think up some things to say to her.

'Technically I still haven't completely confessed to her. I guess I should do it...God I'm nervous now that I've thought of that.'

"Ah! Sabo!"

Running up to me, was Koala. She wore a nice looking black & white striped dress, with a pair high heels. She saw the breakfast in my hands, and made sure that she didn't bump into me.

"Oh, hi Koala. Hey, you haven't seen-"
"Arabella? Yeah! I have! I ran over here to tell you!" She said.
My heart was pounding now."R-really? Where is she?"
"She told me that if I ever saw you, then she said that she wants to meet you in your quarters." She then winked."Best of luck to you!"

I rolled my eyes as she flounced off, the frills in her dress bouncing.

'Okay...so she's in my quarters. That makes things a whole lot easier.'

Later, I stood in front of my door. I stared at the door knob for a while. Again, I felt intensely nervous about this. Anything could happen in here. She may not wanna be together after all, and just wants to stick to being friends.....I don't want that!

'Just go in there, and face her like the man you are!'

Taking in a breath of courage, I grabbed the door knob, twisted it, and walked in. And just as Koala said, Arabella was definitely in my room. She was lying on her back reading a book, her legs hiked up. The patients dress was on the floor, and she only wore a grey shirt (which is mine), and a pair of black boxers. The shirt was lifted up slightly, and revealed a bit of her stomach. The scene was very ( and I mean very) sensual.

She looked up upon hearing me enter, her eyes lit up when she saw me."Sabo-kun!"
I smiled."Arabella.."I called back.

She slapped the book shut, and stood up. She took the breakfast tray away from me, and placed it on the desk beside her. She looked down at herself, and blushed.

"Sorry, I should've put something else on."
I shook my head."No no its fine, you look great."

She grabbed my hand, and lead me towards the bed. We both sat down, and stared at each other for a bit. I watched as Arabella took a breath in, and let a breath out. She faced me, her eyes full of intent.

"Sabo," She started."we need to talk."
"Yeah, we really do."I agreed with a sigh.

"I-um..I know that I've already said it, but I want to say it again, and relive the moment. Sabo, I think that you're one of the most intelligent, loyal, caring & one of the most handsomest men I've met. A-and...I love you, a lot. I want to be with you, and become even more closer with you."

I reached over, and cupped her cheek caringly. She closed her eyes as I gently stroked her face, and put my hand over mine. The smile on my lips was small, showing that I'm a bit nervous.

"Arabella, I love you so much as well. There are so many women out there, but what sets them apart from you, is that you're beautiful, smart, strong & so caring. I really love you a lot, a-and I just wanna show it to you, how much I care, and how much I love you."

Her lips quirked up in a smile."You wanna show me?"
"Yes!"
She leaned in towards my ear, her hair brushing my cheek. She whispered in my ear:

"Then kiss me. Show me that you're the man I need."

She moved away from my ear, was only only inches away from my face. Everything was quiet, and I could only hear my own breathing. I shut out the nervous voices in my head that were telling me to run away & hide.

'I'm gonna do this, and nothing is gonna stop me.'

I could feel myself slowly leaning in towards her. She herself was leaning towards me as well. My lips hesitantly brushed over hers, until I finally fully started to kiss her. By now, my heart was beating a tad bit calmer, but it was still beating fast, and my eyes
fluttered shut.

One hand was firmly cupping her cheek, while the other was wrapped around her waist so that she could stay up right. I felt her kiss me back, and her body responded by wrapping her fingers around the back of my neck.

'She feels so good..'

Arabella was the one who backed away from the kiss. We both stared deep into each others eyes, our breathing the only sound in the room.

"Arabella.."I whispered.
"Yes?"She breathed.
"Will you be mine?"
"Yes, I'll be yours until the end of everything."She answered.
I smiled, and put her on my lap in a straddling position.

Arabella pov
Out of all the men that I've met in my life, including the ones that I've kissed, seduced, and killed in a span of two hours, Sabo is the only one who can actually make me feel love. I'm so happy that he loves me back the same way I love him back.

Sabo leaned in for another kiss, one that I quickly replied to this time. One of my hands were raked in his blond hair, while the other was draped around his neck. This time, the kiss felt a bit more desperate & loving. Sabo's hands were running up & down my slim-curvy body, sending chills down my spine. In between kissing, Sabo would whisper sweet nothings to me.

But soon, we both had to part because of the lack of air. We were both panting, our breaths fanning each other. Sabo gingerly tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear, and then pecked my lips again.

"You're mine, Ara."He murmured to me.

(IMPORTANT A/N!:Just saying, after tomorrow, I'll be away for at least 4-5 days. Term two has just ended for me, and now the holidays have finally fücking started! I should be back by next Thursday or Friday, I dunno but I'm hoping its gonna be Thursday. Anyway, have a lovely holiday, my fellow kiwi bros!)
