They were both eating there together with the Greeks whom were having a usual and normal lunch at that food chain just near the blue ocean. After that long trip that felt like it was happening for the rest of their lives. They have already dropped their things just earlier in that beautiful hotel room. And they were tired, certainly tired.

But despite those things, the indescribable beauty of Greece had incredibly wiped those out. "How's the food, my love?" Jake asked her. "Amazing." She replied, taking again another bite of their burger right after she did. "Where are we going next?" She added, almost forgot to ask it. "I don't really know. It's up to you, I guess." He shrugged. "Well," she stopped to look at her watch Jake gave her. "It's almost one-thirty. We've got much time to explore the place. Are you in?" She asked, and she sounded more excited than ever. "When am I not?" He asked, grinning. "So, let's see.." She muttered, resting her mouth from chewing. "What's the nearest place here?" She looked at him again. "Let's just see after we get out of this place."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." She suddenly told him as she stood, didn't know why she said that or why had she became so excited. And that noticed Jake as well. They exited the small resto, then began walking.

Eventually, the two were found sitting together on huge rocks. Beneath them was just the water, not too far away and deep. Clarissa's eyes were on the sky, staring and daydreaming about some random things. But, Jake was just simply gazing at her. "Couldn't you take a peek at the sun?" She asked him suddenly. "What?" He said with his low voice. "You know, stare at the sun or maybe watch as those birds fly?" She pointed. "You know that I'd rather watch you." He said.

"Watch me what?"

"Watch you smile. I could see it. That you're simply happy." He smiled. "That is so funny." She didn't believe him for some reason. "What, you don't believe me? Don't your senses work? You could see me stare at you all day." He said, then turned his eyes to look at the ocean beneath them. After the short silence, Jake stood suddenly, then took a peek at the ocean by leaning forward. "Come, stand up." He gestured impatiently. "It's too soon to leave, babe." She said, and her smile never left her face as she stare, still at the sun setting on the horizon. "I ain't telling us to leave, I just ask you to please stand up and I'll let you experience a thing that is most probably going to be a once-in-a-lifetime one." He told her in just one breath.

She half-smiled as she stood. "Close your eyes, please." He told her. She did close her both eyes, then Jake hugged her very tightly. Jake moved closer towards the cliff. "Please, don't tell me that we're gonna fall." She said quickly, and she barely finished her statement when they both finally jumped. She clung and held tightly to Jake as they both fall, he could feel her heartbeat, quickening. The jump had to end, and so they splashed into the water together. The feeling was awful, but for some reason it was so amazing. It felt like she wanted to repeat it. Over and over again. It felt like her heart was falling when they jumped. She finally opened her eyes, seeing Jake directly in front of her. "How'd that feel, huh?" He grinned.

"I'm pretty sure you already know." She said with her high voice. The ocean looked deep, as she could feel. And they were the only ones who were there, on the water. Dangerous or not, they didn't really care. The important thing was that the jump was worth it.
