Sail Away- Nathan Sykes

Chapter 18- If Life Goes On

~~~~~~~~~~~~

+_Monita’s POV_+

The guys sprawled out under the coconut trees as the salty wind blew gently over the perfect white sands. I store out to the empty sea before me. It felt weird. Everything was gone. Everything down in the bottom of the ocean. It seemed it was always someone else, but just never you… so it was okay. But now it is us, now it is me. I sighed and looked over to the five guys sprawled out under the swaying coconut trees, Tom snoring gently and Jay muttering to himself, but my eyes fell on a particularly handsome, talented, caring and loving man who had somehow stolen my heart. “I wont leave you Nathan! Nathan! NATHAN!!” I heard myself screaming in my head and the water went over the doorframe. The cold memory playing in my head, again and again.

I closed my eyes and let it play over again in my mind, the tears springing at the back of closed eyelids as I tried to imagine what might have happened should I hadn’t been able to get the door open. He was holding his breath, but he could only do it for so long… The sea had taken everything from me, my life, my home, my mother, please, please, please don’t let it take the only living person who had my heart, please. I took a shaky breath of the salty air and heard the gentle waves wash against the beach. There was a quiet groan and I opened my eyes slowly.

“Where am I?” I heard someone mumble and I turned around sharply. Nathan was slowly propping himself on his elbows. I let out a breath of relief that I didn’t know I had been holding and rushed over to him with a bottle of fresh water.

“Nathan! You’re alright! How’s your head?” I ask and sit on my knees next to him feeling my hands shake slightly as he took the water and drank a bit, then a bit more before rubbing his eyes and looking over to me.

“I’m not dead,” he whispered almost as if it wasn’t a question. I shook my head and gently punched him on the arm,

“I wasn’t going to leave you,” I say hearing my voice shake.

“But you hate me,” he said frowning, “You never wanted to see me again,” he continued and rubbed his head. I felt tears going down my face, but didn’t move to push them away. I couldn’t take my eyes off his misty green ones.

“I have never hated you Nath… I just… I had to make you stay away because… because of reasons,” I say and bow my head. I don’t think he loves me… maybe he can’t remember what he said. I frowned and looked up when he let out a loud sigh of relief and a smile came onto his face,

“That’s a relief,” he said smiling at me and took my shaking hand. He frowned when he noticed and the smile faded off his face. “Are you alright? What happened?” he asked and moved so he could pull me into a big hug. I took a breath and melted into him. He had that reaction with you, he made everything just right with the simplest movements.

“I thought you were going to die! That’s what happened,” I exclaim and he pulled away to push the tears away with his thumb.

“So you love me?” he asked and bit on his bottom lip. God it was sexy. I blushed and nodded,

“I do,” I say and waited for him to reply. He just looked me in the eyes, never straying away from my face. After a while the quiet was just too much, “Well do you!” I exclaim desperately. If he didn’t then… then… Then what? What can I do?

“Of cause I do!” he said and I smiled, he smiled with me and I felt his lips on mine within seconds. They were perfect and I felt his tongue glide over my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and his lips crushed against mine, so gently, yet forcefully. I felt a shiver run up my spine and his arms wrapped around my body pulling me to his. I smiled through the kiss and he pulled away for a rugged breath before kissing me again. After what felt like only moments of pure pleasure he pulled away again and looked me right in the eye, “Don’t you ever do that again!”

“What?” I ask confused.

“You could have died! Why didn’t you go!” he said almost angrily.

“Because if I would have gone, we wouldn’t be doing this… I couldn’t have done this,” I say and sit on his lap, my hand trailing down to his waist and kissed him. I smiled through it and felt him tense slightly as I started to massage his high thigh and teasingly trail from side to side. He pulled away and let out a small growl, making me blush.

“Alright, that seems legit,” he responded and his hand strayed down my back until it reached the top of my jeans and then went down to squeeze my bum. Suddenly I pulled away when I heard a loud cough and I saw Nathan’s eyes dart up behind my shoulder to where someone was standing.

“Captain’s on his way,” I heard a rough voice say. Griffin. I went to stand and move away when Nathan grabbed me around my waist.

“I was going to die, I’m not letting a few of his words stop me from kissing you,” he said looking intensely into my eyes. I felt a shiver run up my arm and I could swear Griffin mumbled, ‘It’s more than kisses that you want.’ I ignored it and shook my head,

“Nathan, I’ll tell you later. But you have to trust me until then,” and I stood up, accidentally kicking sand in Max’s face. He groaned and rolled over, before sitting up and frowning. I apologized and stumbled back into Griffin who smiled warmly at me. Moments later Captain walked forward with a gun slung over his left shoulder and a small goat over his shoulders. He walked over to the grassy spot and dropped the goat down.

“Jay’s a vegetarian,” I say and Captain unsheathed his small dagger.

“What a shame, I hope he likes goat,” he replied bluntly before starting to skin the beast.
