Can I help you?

Chapter 38

Emma is in the bed and is thinking about the tips that Sarah gave. "I am scared. I would feel better if you sleep in the bed with me." RM's eyes grow wide. "Y-you won't be comfortable then. Don't worry, I am right here." Emma is quiet for a bit. She grabs her pillow and suddenly she is on the floor next to RM. "Then I'll come to you." RM sits up. He looks at Emma who is trying to get cosy. This is madness. There is a perfectly fine bed right here. "Get in the bed. I'll join you." Emma grabs the pillow and when RM isn't watching she is smiling and in her head thanking Sarah. She was spot on. RM gets in the bed with her. She can feel his hip touching hers. Both lay stiff in the bed, nervous. Sarah warned me about this... ehm ehm... Physical contact! She softly moves a bit closer. Her hand touches RM's. RM can feel her warmth. He has his head the other way. I should turn away from her. But somehow I will just pretend to be sleeping. That might solve it. He softly makes snoring noises. Emma grins. 'And when he is asleep... you attack!' Emma blushes. I can't just randomly attack him? I'll just pretend to be asleep and... She smacks her mouth and moans as if she is sleeping. She suddenly hugs RM. She has her arm and leg on him. She smiles into the pillow. RM's eyes open wide at feeling her soft skin on his bare chest. He can feel her breath near his ear. She softly nozzles his hair. RM is swooning so bad. This isn't the first time he had a girl in his bed. But she is so pure and innocent... He is getting hot and sweaty. He opens the blanket and lets his leg uncovered, trying to cool down. Emma starts to mumble something. "mmmlovemmmja" RM can't help it and turns his head. He softly kisses Emma's nose. He isn't all sure if it is a confession, but he can't help but feel all warm and soft inside. Emma feels his breath and then soft lips on her nose. Sarah, you are a treasure. This is enough for now. I'm so happy now. I don't want to use up all my happiness at once. If I get more, my happiness might be too big. He lays his arm over her arm that is across his chest and sighs.

Sarah carefully climbs in the bed. Not showering because of multiple reasons. She lays on the side of the bed that her arm is away from Jin. Jin comes out of the bathroom. He is just wearing a towel around his waist and is drying his hair. "That was pretty hot what you did this night. I didn't know you were not that innocent." Sarah throws him a look as in disbelief. He grins and climbs in the bed on top of her. "Do you have any other porn scenes you want to try out?" His chest is above Sarah and she looks at his beauty. She softly strokes his pecs and brushes past his nipple again, who is still sensitive from this evening. Jin softly whimpers. Sarah yawns and turns to her side, almost kicking him in the groin. "I want to sleep. I am quite tired to be honest. Surfing is pretty exhausting." Almost dying too... Her lungs still feel pain. She coughs at feeling that pain. Jin understands and takes the towel off, laying naked next to her. Laying on her good shoulder she is facing Jin's side. He lays on his back and taps on his chest. Sarah lays wordlessly her head on where he tapped. He can feel her soft hair touch his armpit and shoulder and smiles at being a pillow for her again. Sarah relaxes and is asleep in no time.

It is dark. There are bubbles and silence. A hollow sound under water. She sinks further and further away from the white orb at the surface. She can feel the pressure of the water and the pulling of the stream, being sucked without a chance to escape, shaken from left to right. Her lungs feel like fire and she shouts and reaches for the white orb with both hands that is disappearing.

Sarah is tossing in her sleep. She moans when she is on her bad arm. Jin wakes up. She is sweating and not breathing. As if she is holding her breath. She moans with her mouth firmly closed. She is tensing up and beating her chest. Sleep apnoea? She is still not breathing and turning red. He is panicking. He slaps her. Shakes her in hopes of waking her op. Sleep paralysis? "SARAH!" He keeps shaking. Eventually he forces her mouth open and pushes air in. Sarah suddenly shouts in his mouth and opens her eyes. She is having both her arms up and is grabbing onto Jin tightly. She is panting and holding onto Jin, crying. She is having her arms around his neck and is not letting go, still dazed from her nightmare. Barely knowing where she is. Jin is feeling her heartbeat racing at a speed that her heartbeat is almost not felt. It must be over 200 bpm. He is calming her down. She cradles her and strokes through her hair. She almost even died in her sleep. That was a severe nightmare... I almost lost you. That thought made Jin's heart bleed. The thought of losing Sarah. Having to say goodbye. He is not saying anything, nor does he feel that he needs to.

Sarah finally moves again, and he can feel her heart still race, but at least at a beat he can feel. Her breathing is still haggardly. They are sitting like that. He is on his knees, having her pulled on his chest. It is exactly the same as Sarah this afternoon when she brought Jhope back. Sarah is still sobbing. She slowly looks up at her sun above the water. She sees Jin's brown eyes looking at her. His hair is slightly messed up from sleeping. Her arms are resting on his wide shoulders. Her nose is in the place his collarbones meet. "I felt like I died..." "You did, almost." Sarah is confused. "You weren't breathing properly. You were choking yourself. If I didn't do CPR to you... I don't want to think about it." He looks to his side. She can see and hear the sincerity in his voice and face. She pulls his face towards her and kisses him softly. He softly kisses back and closes his eyes, pulling her closer to him. I forgot what is was like to have someone sleeping next to you. Someone to save you from bad dreams. Someone to guard you while you sleep. That comfort... I missed it. He breaks the kiss. "I was so scared." He whispered, voice heavy with emotion. Sarah grows warm inside. I think he truly loves me... She pulls off her nightgown over her head. She throws it on the floor and brings her arms down around Jin's neck. She lowers herself in the pillow and her eyes invite Jin. Jin leans forward and launches towards her. During their lovemaking he moans. Right before they both are about to climax, he whispers in Sarah's ear the words she dreaded to hear.

"I love you."
