Chapter 17: Off to London

Chapter 17: Off to London

            I stared blankly at no one. I kept recalling what we had shared last night. I still kept gathering my thoughts. We never had spoken to each other about it. I wanted to talk to him but I dared not. I was afraid. Everything happened was my entire fault. I got carried away. I let the heat control me. I let myself be drowned more into complicated situation. One day, I might not be able to breathe.

            “Are you okay?” a familiar voice asked me. Tim. I looked at him, met his eyes and locked into mine. His eyes were bright, saying that he was happy. It seemed to be filled with joy. I wanted to ask him right away but there is something stopping me. I was afraid of what he was going to tell me after all. I was afraid to take risk. Taking risk might result to failure or worst a bitter experience. I looked away. My mind was still confused of all the things happening.  I couldn’t face him now and it bothers me a lot. “Are you okay?” he asked again.

            “Yes.” I managed to answer. I couldn’t let him think that I was getting uncomfortable with him. He was seated right beside me in the plane. We were in the first class seats. His manager and Jake, his assistant were seated in front of us.

            “Good.” He smiled at me and reached out my hand. He held it tightly and spoke. “You’ll meet my family soon.” He smiled and looked away.

            I stared outside by the window. My hand moistened in his grip. My heart throbbed rapidly. If you only know what I’m feeling right now, Tim. It only takes two weeks for you steal my heart. It only takes a night for you to take me. I wish this will not end. But soon, one of us will leave.

            *Tim*

            I didn’t know what is happening to me. Ever since this morning, when I woke up, I couldn’t hide my smile. Everything seems to be clear and bright and I felt so happy. I’ve never been so happy. I reminisce the moment when I opened my eyes.

            I felt a finger drawing upon my face across to my lips. I moved a little and slowly opened my eyes. All I could see was a silhouette of a woman. She moved away and laid her head back to the pillow. She looked at me smiling. Then I remember last night. It was wonderful night. Everything seemed so perfect.

            “You’re awake now.” She smiled carelessly. I moved closer to her naked body. I put my arms around her.

            “Yeah.” I answered her sleepily. Some parts of my head hurt but I overcome it by the happiness within me. I moved my head closer to her face. I didn’t mind how I smelled or how bad my breath is that time. All I wanted was to plant a kiss on hear forehead. Then, she played her fingers in my face down to the jaw. “You’re an angel. You are really beautiful even without makeup or even when your hair is messy.”

            “Am I?” She giggled. I kissed her again in the forehead. Then to her nose down to her lips. I moved my hands to her nape so I could kiss her more. She smiled and spoke. “Aren’t we going to be late for the flight?” looking sheepishly.

            “I think we still have time to stare at each other.” I grinned. She smiled and reach to kiss my nose. Then I moved my hand down to her bum and squeezed it.

            She giggled and spoke. “You’re such a very naughty boy.” And we made out all morning. Nobody could ever compare the heaven I felt that moment.

            I never thought waking up in the morning could be like that. I hoped it will never end. I could never ask for more.
