“We have arrived sir.”
“Thanks Mark.” Says Ryder.
After a small argument last night we decided we would come to the coordinates the next day though neither of us got any sleep. The place was an old locked down warehouse which according to Ry was of his company’s but stopped the work after his parents accident. It was very isolated place that was deep in the forest to be separated from the city but not too deep to loose mobile signal.
“I hope dad kept the laptop somewhere easy to be found.”
Ryder looked at me with his raised eyebrow.
“What?”
“You expect your dad to hand everything to us easily? Babe, we are talking about The Damien Griffin here, he never made things easy for me! or why did you think it was only when you were in college got to date you.”
“Because you were a wuss to ask me out then?” I said more like questioned giggling knowing the statement already. My dad used to run to get the imaginery shot gun he kept in the basement just so Ry would be too scared to enter our house and run back to his.
“Haha very funny. My ass still stinks from the spanks I used to get from his trainings.”
“He trained you?”
With that he smirked, “you will know about that when we get the laptop, now lets find it.”
“Easy peasy.” To which he scoffed.
*4 hours later*
“Easy peasy my ass.” To which Ry laughed his butt off.
For the past 4 hours we have been turning the place upside down still found no clue as to where it will be.
“Dad gives clues to everything except this.” I said.
“Maybe he did give you something, you might have forgotten it.”
“Maybe. Did he mention anything in the letters he gave you?” I asked.
“Nothing of much importance.”
“Hmm.” I hummed thinking back to the letter I got. He indeed gave a big letter but since it was months back I cant remember nothing. Except. His P. S. to burn the letter.
“Ry, dad used a P. S. in the letter he gave me.”
“But he never uses p. s says he hates it and finds no importance if it can be included with the body of the letter. What did he say?”
“To burn the entire letter.”
“Oh.” He sighs disappointed, “nothing to read into it, I guess.”
“Which is what I thought but then the fake laptop too was in fire after we got the coordinates it has mean something.”
“Did you say burn entire letter?”
“Yes?” I say sing-like except when I read his face it clicked me.
“We gotta burn this place up.” We both said in unison.
With that Ry asked Mark to get petroleum or kerosene. We both looked at eachother and laughed.
“4 hours wasted instead of just thinking.” I said.
“I know. The nearest petrol pump is 1 hour away which gives us 2 hour to relax. How about we go to a beautiful place with a beautiful waterfall?”
“Sure.”
Ry held his hands out and I kept mine in his and interlinked our fingers as I felt an electricity flow to my core exciting me. He looked down at me and smiled letting me know he felt it too.
We walked hand in hand through the forest. He said it was a 5 min walk to the place he said and I couldn’t contain my excitement. I always loved nature. I love the smell of fresh air, to hear birds chirping, while skipping through the path jumping over the puddle sometimes missing it and getting some dirt on to the shoes and getting scoldings from Ry from dirting his shoe and getting more scoldings because I decided some dirt was not enough on his and finally walking through the path with both our feets soaked in dirt yet with big smile on our face. And especially loved it when he helped me down a slope while stepping on the small stones being careful not to fall. God how I missed this.
Wish my parents were here, I would have heard the constant whining of my mom saying she is tired and then seeing my dad complain about how much she has gained while giving her a piggy back yet have a smile on his face. How he would just stare into her face as she stares into the nature saying it is beautiful and though cringey he says it back while looking at her yet she wouldn’t know that it was to her that he said beautiful cause he turns around by the time she looks and she whines about him not being like the romantic hero she spends binge watching with me.
All my sad thoughts soon left my mind as I stared at the beauty in front of me. Waterfalls are always such a sight to be seen. The loud noise of water hitting against the stones. The noise of it while clashing with the different paths of water, just makes me I peace.
“God this so beautiful.”
“Yea. So beautiful.” Ry whispered in his deep husky voice with arms around me looking to the waterfall.
I elbowed his stomach. “You jerk, atleast for a joke you could have said that while looking at me!!” I exclaimed.
He said while rubbing his stomach “You already know you are beautiful so why do I have to do that to increase the size of your head? Why do men have to do that when you women don’t do it?”
“Because- ugh you are unbelievable.” I huffed sitting down on the grass.
He laughed. HE LAUGHED. The nerve of –
All thoughts went out of my head when I felt him sucking on my neck. He licked his way up to my ear and whispered, “I love you.”
I turned back and kissed him replying to him.
We pulled apart to get our breaths and laughed. I moved to lay down beside him while he did the same. I laid my head on his chest and slowly dossed off to sound of the waterfalls and his heart beat, while he played with my hair.
*Ryder’s POV
I looked down at the most beautiful girl in the world in my arms and asked to myself how I got this lucky. I shook my head at how she threw a tantrum thinking I dint look at her, little did she know I said it while looking at her.
I have been here with my parents a lot of times and once without them after their accident yet somehow I realised that I did find the nature more alluring with her here, a unique beauty.
