Love Hope In Batanes

Rescue

Eliz POV

I opened my eyes and the first thing I see is this beautiful person in front of me, the sunshine is radiating on her skin. Seeing her gives me an ethereal feeling. I know whatever we have right now is wrong and impermanent. But I want to make the most out of it while it lasts.

To tell you honestly, I know its bad to think about this but, I'm hoping that the storm will continue to go on or better yet, the rescue team will not find us anytime soon because I am still not ready to be woken up in this beautiful dream with her.

I adjusted my self on her arm which I made the pillow for the night. Then I slowly lifted up my arm from her waist on to her cheeks. I slowly traced her features:

Her thick brows... Her eyes... The bridge of her nose... Her jawline and ....

Her supple lips.

"I need you baby..."

I mumble while I run my thumb on her bottom lip

I can't help but to remember the momentS when those were softly placed on mine. And I had the urge to feel it again. So I slowly lean in and give the slightest peck. She groan then slowly open her eyes.

"Mmmmm...., why so sweet in the morning?" She said smiling

"Did I woke you up?" I asked in a panicked manner

She didn't answer instead she said...

"What a beauty in the morning"

She pulled me closer and attempted to have a peck again.

I act quickly. I push her face away from me while I turned my head to the opposite side so she couldn't reach me.

After a few pull, she sat up, giving up.

"Hey! That's unfair! I didn't stopped you when you kissed me! Why I can't get my own?!"

"So you mean you are already awake?!"

"Ooooppppssss...." I heard her mumble

I also sat up and continue interrogating her

"Why were you playing asleep a while ago?"

"I didn't! I just didn't open my eyes"

"Did you hear it?"

"Hear what?"

"Never mind! Just pretend I didn't asked that"

"Okay, I'll pretend that you didn't asked me if I heard you saying 'I need you baby' while you thought that 'your baby' is still sleeping. Okay I'll obey you"

she shrugged and I can feel blood running to my face up to my ears

"You're blushing" she said like its a normal thing.

"I hate you!" I burst out

"Well, I love you too" she said like it was already given

And my face turned even redder if its even possible.

I avoided her gaze.

"You... You love me?" I stuttered

"Why? Isn't it obvious already?"

And just like that, my vision of having a very romantic confession like roses... Candlelight dinner or a singing band with my favorite lovesong was thrown away to the window and was crashed into microscopic pieces.

"How can you say that like it was nothing"
I try my very best not to shout on her because of my disappointment. But deep inside, I really want to beat the h*ll out of her right here right now!
