ENVISAGED

"Hey, sleepy head. Get up. Time to eat," that was the first thing he heard before he felt hands lightly patting his cheek.

With a groan, he slowly opened his eyes and though his vision is still a bit blurry, the first thing he saw was a face of Lea with a permanent scowl on it. With now the help of the light from the Sun, he was finally able to see her face clearly.

She has a small face, with bangs, small lips, straight nose and high cheeks. Over all, she looks cute, even with the scowl on her face.

"Wow. Am I dead? I think I just saw an angel," he tried to tease her. He doesn't know why, but he really find it amusing and enjoyable to annoy her.

Last night he was able to know some things about her. Just like him, she was also swept away to that island. She was also with a boat when they also encountered the typhoon, resulting to a disaster like he encountered but unlike him, she wasn't able to retrieve anything from her things except her seemed to be unlimited clothing.

He found out aside from her scarf and jacket, she was also wearing a shirt and a sando inside which she all removed exept the sando to use and tend him when she found out he has a large wound on his head. He wanted to ask her why she's wearing too much clothes but thought otherwise, thinking it must just really her clothing preferences.

Luckily, he was able to make a large fire that their clothes eventually started to dry off even without them removing it, although personally, he wouldn't have mind taking off his clothes, if only he didn't know how deadly the girl can be.

"You better get up now before I'll slap these berries to your face," she sternly said again before putting the set of strawberries she put in a large leaf in the cave floor and walked out from the cave.

He can't help but laugh at her reaction.

Over the night, he felt like they've become closer than expected. He can justify now by himself that truly, when two persons were stuck together by force, they wouldn't have a choice but to lean on each other. He felt like that's what happened to them. Unlike the spitfire personality the girl is trying to portray, he can see that she's actually totally soft inside. In fact, when she found out about his wound last night, she didn't stop checking it again and again anymore that she even sat beside him, removed her jacket and put it on him.

If only he was in a good shape, he wouldn't have let a girl do what she did last night. He's a man, he's supposed to be the one taking care of a girl, regardless whether she's strong willed like Lea or not.

"Hey, spitfire. Where did you got these?" He asked, following her outside the cave while munching the strawberries and noticed the rays of sunlight finally penetrating the gaps of the tree leaves, indicating the typhoons must be totally gone now.

Lea didn't answer but pointed the row of strawberries beside the cave. She then started walking into a seemingly deeper area of the woods.

"Hey, hey. Where are you going?" He asked, quickly following her.

"I'll check the area. Maybe I can find help. Or maybe I can find more foods. I think there are more foods in this area. I'll find some guava leaves too and water to clean up your wound. It might get infected."

His eyes went wide. "What? Aren't you scared? What if there are wild animals here? What of there are snakes? Or wild boar, wolf! What if there are tarantulas? Hey! You should be careful!" He explained as he saw her almost stepping into a sharp stone.

"Shut up!" She hissed and threw a twig to him. "You're nagging like an old woman. You're disabled right now. I can do this myself. Go back there!" She said and pushed him back to where they camr from.
