"Careful now...."

I gently held her waist to keep her from stumbling and she managed to keep hold of my arm and steadied herself. Then ever so slowly, she turned to look at me.

I felt my breathing stop, and suddenly, the beating of my heart accelerated.

What could she possibly be doing here?

Arya's warm brown eyes greeted mine and I couldn't help but just get lost in those orbs.

Her eyes widened in surprise. Wait, doesn't she recognize me?

That's when I remembered that I was still wearing the black mask.

I decided to play the stranger card.

"Are you...possibly lost?"

Her face displayed confusion and I could see that her gaze were still transfixed into mine, like she was trying hard to know who I am.

Maybe my voice gave me off?

But if I remember right, I caught a cold last night and my voice probably sounded a bit weird.

I slowly moved towards her which made her jolt a bit.

I grin inwardly.

My cute, clumsy, Arya.

We were closer now. I murmured while not taking my eyes off her; "Or are you...looking for someone?"

I watched her catch her breath. Her mouth was slightly open and her chest heaved slowly up and down like her heart was in some pacing of its own and her lungs couldn't keep up.

I'm imagining too much aren't I?

It's as if time has stopped again. It was always like this whenever I'm with her. The noises, the beautiful scenery, even the gentle breeze was mere background.

My senses were focused entirely on her.

My eyes bathe in her beauty. I noticed how the soft lights located in the bushes gives her face a faint glow.

Her eyes, her nose, her lips, her slightly curly hair on the front.

God, I just can't take my eyes off her!

I smelled her familiar perfume. She was so close now. That I could touch her, I could hug her even. But I didn't move because her face displayed confusion like she was deliberating something in her mind.

Then finally, her eyes manage to focus on me.

"I think...I think I already found what I've been looking for..."

A slow smile spread across my lips.

"Really now?" I grinned.

"Yes. And to think I was searching for him for so long." She was playing along now. Her brows were kind of fused which make her look so cute because she was biting her lips, clearly stopping herself from laughing in our silly game.

Then suddenly, a thought came to me.

"Is he worth it?"

I blurted it out but as soon as I spoke the words, I wanted to take it back again. Because now that I think about it, I'm nervous of what I would hear as an answer.
