See You Soon, Soldier (Ambience Series #1)

Chapter Fifty

Mind your eyes 🌠

***

Drowned

My whole body went cold when I watched Worth took off his clothes one by one. I hugged my body tighter. His back flexed letting his polo slid from his broad shoulders down to the grass.

The wind hit me. It felt more colder. Suminghap ako at niyakap pa lalo ang sarili. Nanatili ang mga mata ko kay Worth. I'm still fully clothed and with a jacket, and he's only left with his pants.

He took of his boots, leaving it on the ground and started unbottoning his pants. Mabilis na iniwas ko ang tingin ko at tinanaw ang payapang ilog.

I can feel my heart throbbing. I used to swim here as a kid before and spend hours just by being here, I was never afraid of the running water. But with Worth here, I can't help but to be damn nervous.

His talk with his father must be affecting him.

"I-It's cold..." I muttered. Umihip ang hangin at kasabay nun ang paglingon ko sa kanya. He was looking at me still, without any emotion on his face.

This was the longest he had.

My sight dropped to his body. Nanlaki ang mata ko at mabilis na napaiwas ng tingin. He... was naked.

I suddenly went numb. Completely bewildered by what he's wanting to do. I wanted to back out and run inside. What did they talked about that made him do this? He was so sudden... This was the first time he asked for another thing besides staying in bed and watch him fly. This one's... different.

"The water was warm, Bellemy." He let me know. I caught him walking, his full nakedness against the strong wind.

"Did you know, soldiers months ago used to sneak for a warm bath here?"

His feet touched the water. He went in without a doubt and go deeper, until the water reached his waist. I was just staring at him when he extended his arms to swim. His whole body hardened, his muscles flexed when he dived in for short strokes and then submerged.

Sumisid siya ng bahagya bago umahon ulit. He started to wet his hair and shoulders with his palms. He looked back to me. His eyes, piercing, even without emotion. Nagulat pa ako sa paglingon niya at nangatog ang binti. Bumulong ako ng ilang mura sa isipan.

I'm damn nervous to get in there.

Lumunok ako at umiling sa kanya. Umiwas ulit ako ng tingin.

"N-No, I didn't k-know..." I nervously stammered. I remained my eyes on the tree beside me.

Natahimik kami.

"Stop looking away. This wasn't your first time, baby." Narinig ko ang mahinag halaklak niya. Napalingon ako dahil dun.

A smile form on my face when I saw him grinning again. I took a deep breath before holding my jacket. I unzipped it and pushed it back to my shoulders before taking them off. I slowly removed the sleeves from my arms.

I walked near his clothes and placed it on top of his. I can feel his gaze following my movements.

I sat down on the grass and removed my boots. I placed them beside his before standing up again. I reached for the bun on my hair and slowly removed it. Strands of my hair fall to my face, the wind slightly blowing it across my face.

"Hurry, baby..."

I scoffed at Worth. Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata at umirap. Narinig ko lang ang mahinang tawa niya.

I started walking. I didn't took off my dress since I wouldn't be comfortable with that. My right feet touched the warm water. He was right, it wasn't that cold than I expected but, it still made me shivered to the fact that he is naked and I'm moving closer to him.
