Te Quiero

CUARENTA Y TRES

Hey guys. Remember when I told you guys that you can actually recommend songs for me to listen to as I write, Sharon017, thank you for recommending safe inside by James Arthur. Kisses.
SO GUYS I LISTENED TO SAFE INSIDE BY JAMES ARTHUR while writing this chapter and the song conveyed how Bran and Teresa actually felt here.

I nodded. "Okay."

"Tes...imagine we're in a box...just the two of us and you have no other choice but to trust me."

I chuckled. "A box?"

"Yes...cause, I want you to understand that I won't do anything till I know that you're safe inside."

I nodded again. "Okay."

Slowly, I took in a deep breath, relaxed myself and let go of everything I was holding back. I did that easily cause, I trusted him. Could this be the feeling of being safe? For that moment, I could just confide in this handsome man that was holding me. Trust me, it's a beautiful feeling to know that you are safe with someone.

"Now, follow every step I take."

He took one step back and I took same foot forward. He repeated it two more times and I followed. Now, we were at the tip and I could see the water about to swallow me so, I closed my eyes in trust.

Then he whispered into my ears "Tes?"

"Huh?"

"I'm gonna fall in the count of three and I want you to follow suit. Okay?"

"Okay." I answered.

"One..." His hands slowly moved to my upper back which slowly ignited a fire in me. I opened my eyes and stared at his lips. I closed them to resist the temptation.

"Two.." Okay, he was going to three and we were really going to fall. Wow! Wait should I change my mind? No. I trusted him and nothing else.

"Three."

I felt his body moving away from mine which meant that he was already falling and so, I followed suit. Wow!

Immediately, it was as if my body was floating in air but I could still feel our hold...inside our box. I could trust him so instead of being scared, I felt this joy as gravity pulled us down.

Wow! It was an amazing feeling and the best I felt in a long while!

Then, I started screaming and laughing like a mad person as I felt every burden being lifted from my chest. If anyone told me that I would do this, I'd laugh at the person but look at me now.

Then, I heard Bran also laughing. My eyes were still closed so, I screamed and laughed louder. Just Bran and I....together in our box having this wondrous feeling and screaming like little kids. What can I say?

Then we landed into the water and I opened my eyes and saw him smiling at me. I smiled as we stayed like that for few seconds till we began to swim to the top of the water before our lungs would start crying.

We tried to catch our breaths and he laughed. "Scary pants."

"Fuck off." We both laughed out loud then I screamed. "That was crazy fun!!!"

"I knew you'd enjoy it."

"Come on! I enjoyed every part of it!" I laughed and looked at him for a while...then, I hugged him. "Thank you, I was really going through too much at the same time but doing this for me means a lot."

I was so lost in being grateful that I forgot my breasts were squeezed against his chest. He looked at me in a way that ignited that same fire that kept burning within me to just have him for myself. He used his fingers to play quickly with the hooks of my bra which sent shivers down my spine. "I know...I also know that you didn't tell Martial anything about my relationship with Demorte. I appreciate that and I hope you're feeling better now."

Wow, he knew. He never ceased to amaze me. "I feel better now. Thank you."

He rolled his eyes again which always got me so, I giggled. From absolutely no where, he splashed water on me.

"Hey..." I tried to say but, he kept splashing water on me so, I reciprocated the gesture as we both laughed hard.

After a while, we swarm out of the water and walked back to where the car was. It was a long walk so I was already shivering cause it was cold and almost evening.

He got out a jacket from his trunk and covered my body in order for me to feel warm. Funny how his jacket was so big and comfortable.

I asked. "You have all your clothes in your trunk?" 

"Nah. I just came prepared for the both of us since you weren't aware."

He was so thoughtful which I admired so much. He gave me a towel to dry up my wet body then, I wore my check uniform till I recalled that I was meant to meet my mom  so we could go home together but I didn't even know where she was working.

"Bran, you'll have to take me back to your home so, I can change. Not going home yet."
