It was around 4 o'clock and I was in my dorm room, studying when I got a call and picked it up uninteresting because I gave hope on Yoandri's calls.

"Hello?" I asked.

"I'm back princess ." It was Yoandri from the other line.

I ditched everything I was doing, my heart was pounding hearing his voice. I screamed in joy mentally.

I ran downstairs only to see him, smiling weakly, and rushed to hug him because I could not hold my feelings anymore.

"I missed you." That was the first thing that slipped out my mouth. I pressed my lips into a thin line hearing myself.

'What the-?' I mentally cursed.

He hummed in response and broke the hug.

He did not smile, his face was not the same anymore. Something felt different

"Has something happened?" I asked.

"Nothing much, my got brother got married again." He replied.

"Again? To whom?"

"With that secretary of his."

"Oh."

"I'll go freshen up and come back after sometime after?"

"Sure." I smiled brightly.

After an hour or two, we both buckled the Greenwhich Park, where I was supposed to return paralyzed from but yeah.

We sat at the same scene as last time.

The sun was just setting making the sky red and orange which was as beautiful as the night sky.

The sky slowly grew dark and we both just admired that huge, infinite sky.

It was silence between us because I did not know what to start a conversation with. I was happy with the silence. We used to sit like at the mountain spring and just stared at the sky.

The eerie nature had a sense of calm. A silence that did not bother me for I wanted to keep it as long as I could.

Nevertheless, that silence told me one thing that it was his unheard words, the words he could not say when he wanted.

I felt my back slowly being wrapped around by his pair of hands, pulling me in a back hug.
Kept me near him as if I would run out.

"Don't you like being in my arms? Like it or not I want to hug you all the time I have with you." He whispered to my ear.

I had just kind of stopped. My reflex action would probably have been to shoving his hands from my waist but my brain had stopped from giving any reactions.

We did not say anything just kept quiet because none of us had anything to say to each other.

I could feel his stares, his glances on me and I felt a bit uneasy because I could sense his heart wanted something.

I turned around to ask him to stop staring at me but before I could, he brought his face closer, almost inches away, and stared at my scared eyes.

It was dark but I could see his eyes piercing my soul.

I followed his gaze moved from my eyes to my nose, to my blushed cheeks finally stopped at my lips.

I froze in his arms, my tongue got stuck I did not dare to move a muscle. My nerves failed to put in the response.

He brought his face closer, and I just closed my eyes because I was scared to look back at him and knew what was gonna happen next.

Within seconds, I felt his palm cupping my face, and moving forwards I felt his breath tickling me dry lips and finally, he let his soft lips on mine, my eyes poured the salty water.

"You lost it." My conscience said.

The kiss had utter desperation. As if it one had his first meal after days of starvation. The kiss was the food that fulfilled Yoandri's starvation for me.

Was the desperation for me or these dry lips?

His one hand gripped my waist while the other caressed my skin. The strong grip was left and stroked my hair strand.

He pulled me closer deepening the kiss and making me nervous as seconds passed.

He finally parted his lips from me.
I inhaled and exhaled heavily. I felt short of whiff in my lungs.

I kept my eyes closed as I had a fear of meeting his. My face was flustered. My cheeks are red. My heart was banging on my chest, so loud that I could hear it.

All I did was thankful to God that I did not pass out.

I slowly opened my eyes only to feel his hand clutching mine, fondling it with his thumb.

He smiled," I don't feel empty anymore."

I rushed back to my dorm room without waving him goodbye or anything.

I was too scared to look back.

I entered the house, ignored Lily and ran to my room, and closed the door behind me inducing a loud noise

"Holy crap-what just happened? Did that happen? I'm going nuts!! God kill me, please. " I yelled to the ceiling, proceeded with my gibberish.

My involuntary muscles made me walk towards the small, bijou deck.

'Would the stars make you calm?' I thought.

I just started at the view from my terrace. The town gleams, cars honking, people probably rushing to reach home.

The smells of the blooms which I planted quite a time ago touched my nose with the blend of the night time scent.

I don't know what my mind kept on telling me. I ignored them, all I could think about is Yoandri. My cheeks were successfully red by then.

"Damn, what have you done to me?" I asked imagining Yoandri in front of me.

That night felt too short for me for I could not sleep a single second that had passed that night. My eyes were shot, wide open with my mind full of tonight's episode.

"Tonight's ordeal implied his passion towards me. He had waited long just to savor them and under the sky of thousands of stars he marked me his."
