Mia and Leo. Philippines. Strange introduction. Turbulent circumstances. Unknowning trust. Undefined love. Unachievable lust. What's hiding in the islands, where love gets lost in its labyrinth?
"Look,Leo, don't get lost here. Follow me and I'll show the heavenly spots of Manila."
"Hmm..."
"Leo?"
Mia looked up at his blue eyes. Leo was staring ahead, his eyes glassy all of a sudden. A light sniff, Mia could see his eyes watering.
"Leo?" She whispered softly. Leo gazed down at her, seeing the concern on her face. He immediately wiped off the tears and smiled awkwardly.
"I...I gue...guess something entered my..my eye, you know...as in.."
Mia smile warmly at him and pulled him into an embrace. She could feel his muscles tighten, but then, as he held on tightly, she could feel him loosen up and hug her back. "Mia, you're really sweet. I like your hugs."
"I would to, if you let me breath like a human."
She was pressed hard against his chest, and couldn't breath properly. He laughed a genuine laugh and let go of her.
In spite of sensing the tension remaining in the air, Mia chose to change the topic instead of pressing on him for more information.
"Leo, you do like rafting right?"
"Huh? Raff- what?"
Mia laughed heartily, and said in between her laughs, "Rafting. Not heard of it?"
"Rafting? Umm, yeah yeah sure. I have done them in my childhood. In fact, every morning, Mik and I would go rafting in the meadows ear the country side. How I miss those days!"
Mia looked blankly at him, trying to understand what he just said. Rafting in the meadows? Interesting! Rather, intriguing...
Smiling, Mia asked,"Who's Mik now?"
"My brother. My partner. My friend. My...my lil' half..m..."
His voice choked as he sat down heavily on the grass. Immediately, he sprang up with a yelp, as he had conveniently chosen a tuft of nettles to caress his ass on.
Mia couldn't control her laughter anymore. She giggled and coughed and laughed and chuckled at Leo, while he stood, patting his delicate ass.
Finally, calming down a bit, Mia asked,"Tell me about your meadow rafting please?"
"Yeah, raf..rafti-what was that called now?- roughting is really interes...interesting, you know. Mik and I would wake up early and taking all the gear, we would run to the meadows. And then,.... It's so tough to explain it in words. I need to show you or else..or else you'll get confused. You get it, right, Mia?"
Abruptly, Mia got up, with a naughty glint in her eyes and pulled Leo up roughly.
"Woah woah, girl, I guess I can get up on my own. Now..."
"K" She left his hand and landed right on his ass.
"Ouch, bitch. Not my ass!!"
Chuckling once again, she sat down by him. Leo gently tackled her to the ground, and jumped above her. "Sweet revenge."
Mia, taken aback by his sudden move, giggled softly and said, "So, how's the weather up there?"
Leo got off her and rolled down by her side, their shoulders touching with his laugh reverberating in the air.
Mia rolled on her side, facing Leo. She could make out his sexy jawline and red lips, glowing against the sun. He smiled and said,"Irresistible, right?"
"Dream of it, idiot."
"As you say, m'lady."

Leo reached over and hugged her lightly. Mia smiled against his face, feeling his soft cheeks caressing her nose. She laughed when he kissed her forehead ever so lightly. Feeling his soft wet lips touch her forehead made her stomach go for somersaults. Leo nervously touched her cheeks and ran his thumb down her cheeks to her neck. Mia came closer and rested her head on his arms, her locks falling over the ground.
"Mia..."
"Hmm?"
"Mia, you drive me crazy but I can't help it that you don't just attract men. Don't get me wrong..." A small smile played on his lips seductively, "but a horny, so very horny, spider creeps up your shirt..."
Mia shrieked and jumped up, rapidly and viciously brushing herself. "You jerkkkkk!!!!" She slumped down, mumbling to herself, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Mia? MIA!! I am really sorry. Don't cry, baby doll." Leo rubbed her back and suddenly pulled her close to his chest. Mia started sobbing incessantly, while Leo shushed her down delicately. "Mia, don't... Don't cry, doll.. I am really really sorry.. Mia?"
"Lee, it's not your fault.. I.. I have arachnophobia and am petrified of..of...."
Mia calmed a bit, but her tears kept on flowing. Leo wiped off a lone tear with his thumb as it ran down her rosy cheeks
"I'm sorry, Mia...."
Mia pulled him closer and kissed his nose. "You are a jerk but I like this jerk a lot. Note it down, I stop crying only when I get ice cream, but you are to pay. Whatcha say?"
"Anything, cupcake. Get your ass off the ground. I am not picking up such a fat chick."
Mia pouted dismissively, whining like a baby," I ain't fat, you doodle."
She slumped down and finally, Leo picked her up bridal style, smiling one-sidedly.
"Leeeee... Your baby doll wants double- no, no, mint chocolate ice cream.. Leeee, pleaseeee..."
"Anything for you, cupcake."
"And yes, cupcake too. Strawberry ones with icing."
