The Water Phoenix

Chapter 10: Dream?

Natsuhito continued running. I bumped up and down into his arms. I clung to him so to not fall off. I yelped as he jumped over a rock. We entered the gloomy forest.

Natsuhito laughed. And not a fake one. A real one. Like he felt so free he could fly away. I looked at his eyes. They weren't hooded by something I couldn't understand. They were alive.

My eyes rested on the tatto that had been taunting my mind since the day I first met him. I had tried peaking at it,  but it was impossible.

Right as I was staring to feel sick, Natsuhito stopped. He let me slip out of his hands. I adjusted my vest so he couldn't see my neck. I turned around. We were in a clearing. The leaves were so thick, only a small portion of moonlight escaped. Illuminating only a warm spring. Steam rose up from it. The moonlight made it look beautiful. The trees surrounding the clearing were so old and huge, only 3 of them were needed to cover the perimeter.

I smiled. This place was wonderful. I turned around. My gleaming eyes scanned the area. Natsuhito stood pleased in the background. "Pretty huh?" He asked softly. So to not break the silence of the night. I nodded, my thoughts lost in my mind.

I plopped to the floor and passed my hand on the soft and lush-y grass. It smelled of morning dew.

Without realising what I did, I grabbed Natsuhito's wrist and pulled him to the ground. Being agile as he is, he did look surprised but managed to catch himself.

He stopped himself in a push up position. I don't know why, maybe the cold air numbing my brain, or the adrenaline and the excitement made me giggle. I almost never showed my girly side of me. Natsuhito looked up shocked. His arms gave up. He fell on top of me.
I laughed and rolled over so I was on top of him. My silky black hair brushing his face.

Natsuhito snickered. His soft hand went on the side of my cheek. I leaned in it. Enjoying the warmth. My eyes closed.

Natsuhito pulled his face closer. I leaned in. Our lips were inches away. Right before we kissed, a soft voice hissed in my head, "Is this okay?" My heart started saying yes. At that moment, my heart and brain in a duel, I said in my mind, "Go to hell both of you."

I looked one time at Natsuhito. He looked is beautiful. I plunged on him. My lips moulding onto his. Natsuhito's eyes widened but he pushed my head closer. My arms propped on his chest.

Somewhere in my mind, while I was feeling the bliss of the kiss, I heard, "You're not married yet!" Just to make that voice angry, I deepened the kiss.
I moved my head to kiss him better. Natsuhito's lips moved slowly down to my neck. He started sucking. His lips were so soft.

I closed my eyes.

The next time I opened them, I was in my tent. My hair spilled around me.

I sat up.

Had that been a dream? I asked myself. Wondering how I could have thought something that weird. My hands passed on my lips. It seemed so real.

I groaned. My hand slipped down my neck. My eyes widened. There, was a swollen point. Like someone has sucked. Really hard.

"What the...?"
