Xavier’s Point of View.
“That’s creepy, I like it but I still want to go out and enjoy other scenery while keeping this one close to my heart”
“You are such a romantic and you teased me about showing off my money”
“Hahhah, but you were showing off”
“Well I can’t deny that…. hahahaha”
“Hahahahhahah”
“You are right though, I wish this moment will last forever, but it makes me scared though ”
“Why?”
“It’s as if, every time am too happy, something bad will happen, like this nagging feeling inside you that stopes you from feeling happy too much ”
“Yes, I understand you, I get it sometimes ”
“That’s why am trying not to be too happy at times”
“Don’t worry, be happy, I will prevent anything bad getting to you as much as I can”
We stared at each other, we don’t know who dipped first but within seconds we were kissing.
After a while, we stopped to catch our breath, her face looks flustered and it suits her, I held her head and kissed her again this time slowly, tasting every corner of her mouth, entangling my tongue with hers and mixing our saliva together, she kissed back, I licked her lips sensually as I pull back.
A silver thread connected our mouth as when we pulled apart, this isn’t my first kiss but it felt like it, my heart was beating so loud and strong that I thought that it might burst out from my chest, maybe it’s better because it may convey the feelings I feel better than me,
“X… Xavier… I”
“Shhhh, don’t say anything or think anything, let’s just enjoy this moment without overthinking it okay”
She nodded her head and placed her head in my shoulders, I held her hand in mine as I smiled into the horizon. (This is really good)
JESSICA’S Point of View.
I stared at Xavier as he smiled while looking out the beach, my heart hasn’t calmed its erratic beats, my dress still looking beautiful, we looked like we walked out of a romance story, I the princess and him the prince that swept my feet away.
I know we had feelings for each other at least I like him but I never expected us to share a kiss so soon but I did like it, it felt nothing like the empty kisses I and Collins shared in the past, this…. This felt like how a real kiss should feel.
From the moment we started having dinner, flirting with each other, teasing ourselves and talking about a lot of things, the tension had been there, this kids we shared without saying much words just letting the dance of our tongues do the talking for us felt euphoria.
“It’s getting late, do you wanna go home now?”
Xavier asked me, he looked reluctant though,
“Yes, but promise me we were come back here again ”
I told him, hoping he will see the pleading my eyes are pleading,
“Of course Angel, we will come back here again… TOGETHER ”
My heart somersaulted at his words, he said together, I looked into his eyes searching for a lie or a flatter but I didn’t see any except sincerity, I smiled at him, we got off the car bonnet and he opened the door for me to enter before closing, entering and driving away towards OUR home.
We reached home and the butler informed us that grandfather was back already, we nodded and headed to our room, I wonder why I was feeling this way, we have entered the room together many times, I have never felt like this but now I feel like a newly wedded bride.
“Do you wanna bath first?”
“Yes, sure”
I went into the bathroom and scrubbed every inch and crevice of my body, put in my silk nightwear instead of pyjamas and came out, even though I just took a bath, I can feel my cheeks heating up as I noticed him giving me a once over, he stood up and brushed lightly past me as he went into the bathroom.
I watched him till he closed the door and I squealed into the pillow like a high school girl, I lay down in my side, turning and changing position till I heard the shower stop, I immediately turned to my right side and pretended to sleep.
I heard him walking around the room, dried his body, kept the towel in the laundry basket, wore his cloths and I felt the bed dipped down a little because of his weight,
“Uhmm, uhh, j… je… Jess?”
“Y… yes”
My voice sounded quirky and it’s embarrassing!
“Can I… can I hold you to sleep?”
“… Alright ”
My voice came out small that I wondered if he heard me at all but seem like he did because his muscle hand wound up my waist and I felt his soft firm chest on my back, his warm breath spraying on my neck making me feel moist and fuzzy all over, I don’t think I can sleep in this state.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“No, No, No, I don’t, am fine”
“Okay, if you say so”
(I said so now stop talking and sending those vibrations down my body),
We stayed like that not saying anything to each other, I didn’t even know when I slept off in his arms.
MARCUS’S Point of View.
“So you mean to say that everyone in the whole country believed a paparazzi than you a reporter? ”
“Sir I don’t know how he got the pictures and everything else and he showed pictures of his news”
“Who published that news he brought?”
“Mrs Jessica McCartney, she was the one ”
“No wonder, well they mat has escaped this, it’s not the important part”
“So what do we do now sir?”
“You can go, tell others to leave and self destruct the computers they used ”
“Yes sir, good day”
“Fucking fools, they think they can just trame in me and go scot free, am not letting them do that to me , just watch….”
