I was panting like never before. We had been playing a game whose name I didn't know all morning. One person closes their eyes to count and another pinches them softly on the waist so that person counting stops and chases the person he or she assumed pinched them. And if you got it wrong you would repeat. It was so hilarious. Anyway we had eaten our packed snacks and drinks after that. We had bought alot, I was sure we were gonna take some home.
Then in the afternoon we had all gone for gorilla trekking even after Charlie telling us the gorillas were only in the trees on the mountain that was west of our camping ground but we went South anyway since their was a footpath and we wouldn't want to get lost.
And as a surprise to all of us, we came across a beautiful lake, it's waters so clear you could see the stones beneath so we took off our clothes and jumped in. (Not skin dipping, our undies were on). We played in the water and also washed ourselves since we didn't have showers back at the ground and since the water was cold we didn't delay in it. Charlie said crocodiles had been traced in there and that had gotten us sprinting out of the water laughing our butts off and when he had said he was kidding we had all given him the finger.
So we resorted to chatting amongst ourselves and also took pictures with Lucy's camera. Carl took a picture of me and I of him with our phones even though we were in undies. I silently thanked God that I had wore a matching bra and panties, they were black with polka dots. Then we took a couple selfies too and started for our ground by evening.Carl lay next to me after we had changed. He had let me change in here and he had changed in Jack and Essy's tent. After which he had returned. We had brought a couple of blankets which we had laid down before placing a sleeping bags on top of them for warmth since we hadn't brought camp beds.
"Do you want to come to dad's house with me as I return for Christmas?"I asked out of the blue.
"If you want me to but I will have to be home by Christmas as mom has invited granny."he replied. I sighed softly.
"You don't have to go, you could join my family, mom would be happy."he added. I shook my head.
"I told everyone I would go. so I have to."
"I could take you and we stay there about two days together and I be back by Christmas Eve."he suggested and I smiled.
"Thanks."he nodded.
"I told you I would do anything for you." I laughed at his cheesy statement. He laughed as well.
"I am sure that's what you tell every girl you date."I mumbled and we laughed for a bit.
"But on a serious note, aside sleeping around, I have only dated one girl and she was the one that cheated on me. So you are the second and I hope the last for me."he said softly and I mumbled a sorry.
"When I saw Lucy crying over Charlie I thought she would die, I mean she was in so much pain."I said sadly. "I fear heart break now." He chuckled.
"You will be the one getting tired of me. And unless you push me away, I will keep trying for us."he mumbled and I looked him in the eye. Those beautiful light eyes."Do you know what I like most about you?"I asked and he shook his head.
"Your eyes, they are nothing I have seen before, I like them " he smiled at me leaning in.
"Me, it's your lips, I could kiss you all day."he mumbled before kissing me.
He pulled himself so he was on top of me, his hips resting gently on mine as our lips moved in sync, my stomach filled with butterflies and I moaned as he started down my neck. I could feel him hardening and myself getting wet. But for the voice that interrupted.
"Come out lovebirds, you will make babies later, come to the fire."that was Lucy. And Carl stared down at me lust fully. His eyes dark with last but he pushed off of me and helped me up.
"Seriously, who would kill a bear."huffed Ni. We were sitting on logs around the fire, two each log and you could guess the pairs. And we were talking random topics.
"You, my friend shouldn't think a bear is cute and stuffed. It can eat you."said Jack and we chuckled as Ni pouted.
"You look beautiful."whispered Carl and I blushed. Lucy grinned at me.
"I swear I can see sexual tension from here, why don't you two just excuse yourselves nicely."she commented and everyone laughed. Carl told her to back off and conversation fell casual again.
I couldn't help but smile as I looked around at the people who took me in even without knowing me and I couldn't be happier. They were my home, I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. That I would go anywhere and know I had a home to return to and that brought a warm feeling in my chest. I snuggled further into Carl, my number one home and I could feel him smile as he put an arm around me.And at last, I could say I was happy. Because I was home. My home that was in those light grey eyes staring off into space.
THE END.
