The Guilt Consumes

Chapter 23

"Really?" I ask him and he nods.

"Yes, you need to" he says. I sigh and look at him with pleading eyes.

"But I have make up on. I don't want to ruin it." I say and he sighs.

"Fine. But promise me you'll keep your eyes closed" I smile widely and nod.

"Scouts honour" I reply with a bright smile.

"You weren't a scout" he declares and I raise an eyebrow.

"You wouldn't know" I say and he smirks.

"You were never a scout" He smiles and kisses my lips. He puts the blindfold away and starts the car.

"Whatever" is all I pathetically reply with. He chuckles and I end up sitting in the car ride with my eyes closed. I did promise, so I guess I'll have to leave them closed until he tells me to look although, I am feeling a little sleepy now.

•••••¥•••••

"Are we there yet?" I ask him and he sighs.

"You asked that like 10 times-"

"9 actually" I but in.

"I'm surprised you were counting but that's not the point. The point is, it's a surprise for a reason. So just be patient okay" I could hear the amusement in his voice. He's enjoying me get frustrated.

"Okay fine" I sigh and keep my eyes closed. I don't know how long it's been since we've been in the car, but I'm sure it's been a long time.

"Right, we're here- but don't open your eyes" he rushes in and I roll my eyes as best as I could.

"Fine" I give in. I hear his side of the door open and then mine. I feel his hand go in mine and lead me out. His hand on my waist from the back as he leads me somewhere unknown to me. "Are you going to-"

"Murder you? Less likely" he jumps in and I laugh.

"Well then, I guess I have nothing to be worried about" i reply sarcastically. We stop but I still don't open my eyes. "What do I do now?" I ask him and he breaths in.

"Just listen" he tells me simply.

"Okay" I listen to what's around me and all of a sudden I feel at ease.

"What do you hear?" He asks me and I smile.

"Water"

"That's the ocean" he informs me.

"What are we doing by the ocean?" I ask him intrigued.

"You'll see" he says and I hear the smile on his face. "What else?" I release a breath and listen closely.

"Crickets, murmuring, boats, the shore" I say each and every thing that I hear as it calms me. I feel him hug me from behind and I smile. I rest my hands over his, as they rest over my stomach.

"Tell me what you see" he whispers in my ear and I feel a shiver run down my spine.

"Black" I say while lightly laughing.

"Yes I know that. But imagine all the things you've said and tell me how you see it" he tells me with amusement.

"Okay. I see that we're sitting on a dock, our feet's hanging from the edge as the ocean clashes with our toes. I see a lot of nature. I hear crickets and I see people afar with their loved ones. I see boats with lights. I see the stars shine from above and the moon illuminating. I feel your warm embrace as I snuggle into you. I see the night blue sky and feel the breeze brush past my hair." I say everything I see and feel, even if it sounds cheesy. I feel his lips on my cheek.
