Chapter 14

"Did you really meant what you said?", I asked again. Derek kept his arms wrapped around me. The wind blows in our direction in a very romantic way, brushing his hair. His eyes peacefully closed. A familiar facial feature made me remember. The first man I had sex with. Why do he have to own such beautiful eyes just like him? He's sleeping in my shoulder. I guess he's very tired.

I didn't move, I let him stay in our position. My eyes looked up the starry night sky. A shooting star passed by, I quickly closed my eyes and wish. I hope it's going to be true. After a couple of minutes, Derek moved. "So sorry, I fell asleep", he apologized.

"No, it's okay... You don't have to apologize", I smiled. Derek nodded, coughing to swish away his awkwardness.

"Are you asking me something?", He asked. I nodded. "What is it then?", He added.

"Nevermind", I smiled. "How about we both go to bed?", I asked.

"No, I came here with you. Perhaps, it's still early. We should talk about ourselves, you know to get each other deeply?", Derek asked. He let go of the hug which made me a little bit sad because I want him to hug me more. Walking towards the railing, he leaned his back against it like he always do. How charming it is to see him ran his fingers through his brown locks. I can't help but to smile. I really hoped that he's the first guy that I met.

Many things are holding me back.

Many things that kept me away from being a good person.

I don't intend to kill or rob.

I'm like a robot, commanded by its master.

I didn't mean any of it.

This time, I want to set things right. I have to make choices, to capture Jack Frost or gone astray from Pitch. I know deep inside that even if I do, he will follow me wherever I go. He's a heartless monster. I don't even know if he is my real father or not. Hans somewhat told me before that I came from an orphanage. I digged down information, turns out it is true. Someone got me from a very nice orphanage and switched me to an orphanage where nightmare happens. Pitch adopted me when I was seven. Did you know what happened next when I found out his top secret? Pitch killed the investigator I hired to find about my true identity.

Ever since, I lost myself and let him control me.

"Hey, are you okay? You seem too far gone", Derek said snapping his fingers in front of my face. I snapped out, shaking my head.

"Oh, yeah.. haha why wouldn't I be okay? You're here", I said that straight to his face. Covering my mouth, I felt myself blush. Derek shake his head and laugh, he put his hand on his hips.

"You really are something huh?", He smirked.

Oh gosh, that signature smirk!

"W-what?", I asked. Putting a strand behind my ear, I smiled at him. This hazel eyes covering my turquoise blue eyes, looked at his brown ones.

"It's true, you're so charming", Derek winked. "Tell me about you", he clicked his tongue and winked at me.

Did he just winked at me?!

Yes gurl he did!

He freaking did!!!

"Umm there's not much to tell about me", I said turning away from him. I had my hands grasping tightly to the bars of the ship balcony.

"Relax", Derek said. He faced what I am facing, looking deeply to quiet ocean played by wind's musical art. "I'm going to share mine, don't worry", he chuckled. I didn't looked at him, I will surely stutter if I did. I need to keep my identity a secret. Just like a hero but completely opposite.
