Jade

Prologue

She was standing ahead the glass window, slowly scanning the panorama of the city
as if it was the most magnificent prospect she had ever seen. Although I haven't seen it myself, I've sensed that she won't detach her eyes from the view.

"It's beautiful" She murmured.

I contemplated on a response as I gazed at the lady in front of me whom was still staggered at the sight. She seemed too focus to look back, but even then I only cared for her happiness.

As I watched her upright ahead of me, the air had somehow turned the aura of the space. In some way, an eerie yet powerful force was compelling me to be next to her. For a moment, that sounded ridiculous in my head. Though, I trusted my institution.

My strides toward her were reasonably large. As soon as I get to her, my hand instantly snaked it's way to her waist. I grasped on her gently before she willingly allowed me to give her an embrace.

All I wanted was to be near her while she maintained her admiration for the city. It was beautiful to hear the excitement in her voice when she described the city as her home. She was untroubled, and I was very thankful of that.

I rested my head on her shoulder to put her in the state of serenity. Though, I also took the opportunity to peeked at the city she holds in high demand. My action may have been brief, but I could easily sense her fresh perfume. At that time, it was like I've always crave her sent like I was never getting tired of the savor.

I sweetly planted a kiss on her shoulder and neck. I may had been focused on putting her at ease, but I could still recognize when she closed her eyes. I mentally reminded myself that we were stood in a vast clear window where anyone outside could see us, but that did not seem to bother me. My intent to stop has somehow diminished as soon as she breathed out a moan. She tightly gripped on my forearms just and I continued to trail kisses on her skin.

My intention was not to tempt her, but to allow her to unwind.

I tightened my grip around her body as soon as I've detached my lips from her skin. I heard a faint sigh escaped her lips, but she still seemed satisfied not only her view but also to our swift moment. I closed my eyes as I embrace every second and minutes of my moment with her. It was satisfying being with her. Though, good things comes to an end. The time was uncoordinated with what I had in mind as the moment had turned slow. Oddly enough, the clock seemed to be ticking way slower than usual. I wanted to locate the basis but as soon as I tried to unlatch myself from her, her shoulder became stiffed. She was frightened at the thought of me leaving her despite of the fact of my promise. I could never leave her nor forget about her. I loved her and cared for her way to much. People around us knew that, and for that we believed that we were destined.

Her grasped on my forearm felt like it left a mark on my skin and I couldn't allow her to feel unwanted or stressed.

Briskly, my grip on her turned securely. In hope she returned to her ease, my lips continued to brush her shoulder, leaving a mark. Her immediate intake of air had changed my pace. I focused my attention to her rather on what I was doing. I wasn't the type who would force her... no matter how much I wanted her.

When she had drawn her breath, she rapidly whimpered. Gazing at my work, I notice the mark in her skin.

"Sorry Love"

I apologized. My excitement may have gotten the best of me. My grip slowly loosens just as I pecked a kiss on her neck for the last time.

"I love you" I murmured.

Her body started to stir, and finally I unloosed my grip on her. I glanced down at the floor and thought it would have been tenderer to catch glimpsed of her when she faced me. My mind gave me all the possibilities that could make this moment extra sweeter, but I am fairly drawn a way as I suddenly felt a band on her left hand.

I couldn't stop myself from admiring such alluring ring. It was undoubtedly a Jade stone. There were six brilliant, white solid stone set into the elegant band, which was also covered thinly with a gold leaf.

The desire and eagerness to gaze at the person ahead of me was indomitable. I wanted to finally see her because I knew for a fact that my love for her was genuine. However, everything became unearthly. My vision turned blurred, making it impossible to witness the love of my life standing in front of me...
