#aloneliness_

My eyes wandered around the park. The weather was nice and the scenery..

My gaze fell onto this one perfect guy sitting in front of me, munching those homemade carrot cake which he loved so much.

A smile cracked on my face.

"Can I touch here?" I asked cockily with my finger pointing at his cheeks.

"Hmm.." He nodded innocently with his mouth full of carrots.

He shot a sweet smile at me when I pinched his cheeks.

I started to pinch him harder because he looked damn cute, smiling cheekily with a whole bunch of carrot cake filling his mouth.

"Ah-Ouch!" He growled and rubbed his cheeks.

"That hurts..." His lips were set in a pout of annoyance.

I looked at him unbelievably. "What the.."

A small chuckle slipped from my lips. "You think you're cute making that kinda face?" I taunted with my arms crossed, trying so hard not to laugh.

"Nooo." He shook his head vigorously as he looked straight into my eyes.

I pursed my lips when he did that. Controlling myself from doing any further actions towards his overload cuteness.

"Psshh." I scoffed as I rolled my eyes slightly away.

My gaze fell onto the ground while I unconsciously bit my lower lips.

In a short moment, he moved closer to me and lowered his head so he could see my face.

I looked into his stark blue eyes.

His lips were suddenly grazing mine as he shift closer against me.

I tried pushing him away but his strong hands were secured behind my back.

He pulled me closer as he deepened the kiss.

It happened so fast that I didn't have a chance to avoid him. I sat quietly with his lips brushing gently against mine.

My cheeks started to burn when he slowly moved away.

"You know I can't stand seeing you biting those precious lips, don't you?"

His blue eyes gazed softly onto my red face. He suddenly cracked an evil laugh.

"What's wrong with your face, girl?" He asked and shot me a naughty smile.

I looked away and blinked my eyes a few times as reality strikes my unconscious mind.

"I-umh I-what.." I cleared my throat and shook my head when I blabbered a few words that I can't even understand.

He smiled tauntingly when he saw me stuttering.

Within seconds, I was already on my feet. Ready to put up a million miles marathon.

I was going to escape myself from this shameful moment he gave me.

"Well.." I took a step back.

"Bye." I said bluntly and took off running away from him.

His eyes widened. He was completely shocked with my sudden actions.

"H-hey, hey! where are you going?!" He stood up and chased after me.

My steps lenghten.

"Isn't it obvious!?" I slowed down my pace and stopped halfway.

I tried to regain control of my unsteady breathing.

"I'm running away from you!" I yelled while covering my red cheeks.

This is so embarrassing!

He chuckled and walked closer to me.

"Awh.. Come here, cutesy.." He pulled my hands which caused my body to turn around and hit his sturdy chest.

He lifted me up easily from the ground.

"Ah-" A squeak left my lips by his sudden actions.

My legs were spontaneously wrapping around his torso. I stabilized my body by hooking my arms around his neck.

Hell no. This is super awkward.

My face was just an inch from his.

Without wasting any time, he started pecking all over my face.

Not missing a single spot.

"Stop it!" I tried to push his face away but, my body trembled backwards every time I did that.

There's nothing I could do other than hooking my arms around his neck to prevent myself from falling.

It's like, giving him full access to smash his lips against my face.

"No-mph! Daniel, sto-mmph it-!"

"I can't." He said while kissing my cheeks. "You're too cute!"

You're cuter, Daniel. Dammit!

I can't hold myself anymore and ended up laughing so hard when he tickled my waist.

"No..! Stop!!"

Yet he didn't.

I pursed my lips. This is going too far!

Without realizing, I unconsciously kissed him on the lips.

Because, that's the only thing I could think of to make him stop.

And yeah, HE DID!

I tried to move my lips away but he started to kiss me passionately. Okay.. so this turns out wrong, did it?

I stayed quite for a while until he started moving his lips so that I could open my mouth.

I did it without hesitation and responded to his kiss.

I slowly shut my eyes.

My lips were lost in his kisses. I can feel my stomach burning every time he pushed his mouth deeper into mine.

Underneath the tree, we started kissing like the world stopped spinning and it was just the two of us in it.

The wind blew softly making the red leaves on the trees fell onto the ground.

It was quite a perfect scenery, I guess..

"Are we there yet?" I asked.

I was miserably gasping for air as I took in a few deep breath.

"Yeah." He said.

"These are the last one." His eyes narrowed towards the staircase in front of me.

I looked up and saw him smiling at me.

"Okay then.."

I exhaled a long breath. "Cheer for me, Jonah!"

He chuckled as he raised both hands above his head and started clapping some basic rhythm.

"You can do it, girl! Go, go, go!" He shouted eagerly with a huge smile on his lips.

I felt like I'm pulling out some kind of army stunts with those cute cheers he gave me.

"Almost there..." I clenched my teeth, playing along.

"One more step! You can do this, girl!"

My feet landed on the last stair as my hand grip tightly onto the handrail.

"YES!" I shouted with my fist up. I stood proudly in front of him.

He burst out a cute cackle.

"Okay then, let's go!" He grabbed my fist and pulled me towards a huge door.

As we entered, my eyes wandered around the open space. "Woah.."

I can feel the cold air hit lightly onto my skin.

"Cool right?" He looked at me with a glint in his eyes.

"Absolutely."

I was utterly stunned because I can see the whole city from up here.

I walked towards the edge of the rooftop and leaned over the parapet to get a better view of the busy city.

The sky was already dark but the cars and people down there were still moving in and out of nowhere.

"It's beautiful!" I gave him a delightful look.

His greenish-blue eyes were fixed onto my face.

"I prefer the word exquisite." His voice was calm and reassuring.

I shot a glance at him. He was staring at me intently.

"M-me too." I stuttered and lowered my gaze.

His rough hands gently touched my chin which sent cold shivers behind my neck. I lift my face up.

My heart was pounding so fast, I can clearly hear it.

Silent.

He cleared his throat and looked away.

"Wanna have a seat?" He asked promptly.

I scratched my head and nod awkwardly. "Uh, yeah."

He lifted me up and helped me sit on the parapet. I reached out a hand and pulled him up as he sat beside me.

I sat comfortably beside him as my eyes wandered around.

The neon lights, skyscrapers and the sound of the cars on the road were extraordinary.

They were appeasing.

"You wanna know something?" Jonah asked abruptly with his eyes glued at the dark sky above us.

I took a quick glance at the pitch black sky above us and turned to look at him as he slowly stretched a small smile, still staring at the sky.

"What?" I asked whilst pulling my legs into my arms, resting my head above my knees while facing him.

A short breath left out his red lips.

"Whenever I look up the sky, it reminds me of you." He turned his head towards me.

My gaze fell onto his prepossessing face.

A soft chuckle was my reply which made his smile became wider.

"Do you know why?" He asked.

"Why?" I asked, waiting for him to continue.

He then locked his eyes onto mine.

I moved my hands onto my tingling stomach when he looked at me with those soothing eyes.

"Every time you smile, it shines so damn bright like the sky during daylight." His large hand came in contact with my freezing cheeks.

"Every time you look at me, these pupils..." He planted a kiss right above my eyelids.

I stayed quite, letting him do whatever he wants without hesitation. "..were as stunning as the sky during the night." I can feel his hot breath fanning against my forehead.

A smile crept over my face.

"When you cry..." He paused.

My smile almost died. I lifted my head and looked into his fervent blue eyes.

I remembered the last time I cried in front of him. He looked awfully..dejected.

He took a deep breath before continuing his next words.

"..my heart wailed just like the storm on rainy days." His voice was weak and barely audible.

He shifted closer to me and pulled me into his warm hug.

Somehow, it didn't surprise me when he did that.

I was used to him making small gestures towards my body. I shifted and cuddled cozily in his arms.

"You know what I mean, right?" He asked. Looking down at my face.

I nodded with my head resting on his sturdy chest. "Yeah."

He planted a soft kiss on top of my head.

"I love you." I whispered underneath my breath.

His arms tightened around my body as I said that. I can sense him smiling above my head.

"I love you too, sweetheart."

He kissed the top of my head again which really felt like forever.

His sturdy figure was fully wrapped around me. The warmth of his body made me felt safe and serene.

We sat silently in that position. It felt nice.

"Don't ever leave me." He pleaded softly through my ears.

"Promise." I answered reassuringly with my eyes closed.

"Thanks, lovely."

The silence continued.

After a brief moment, I drifted off, sleeping in his warm embrace beneath the darkness of the night sky and above thousands of busy night owls underneath us.
