Rey was woken up by the lively chatter of the living room. He had been sleeping for hours. Still feeling weak, he slowly made his way to the living room where he saw Rajiv and Charles sitting with their respective partners and Nora bringing them snacks. He couldn't see Shyra. "Good morning," said Rey slowly walking to the sofas. "Good evening boy!" replied the two gentlemen sipping their coffee."He still looks ill though, help him Hun," spoke the woman sitting beside Rajiv.
"Sure," Rajiv replied as he got up to help him but suddenly sat back down. Rey seemed confused until he felt warm slender hands clutching to his shoulder and right hand.
"You want to sit down here love?" asked Shyra softly. "You are still not completely well."
Rey nodded. Shyra helped him sit down on a sofa and sat beside him as Nora brought a bowl of onion soup for him. As he made no attempt to take the bowl himself. Shyra took it upon herself to feed him.
The people in the room glanced at them and looked at each other as their lips curved up. Shyra could feel their grin upon her face. "Haven't you all had enough fun already?" she spoke breaking the silence and they could no longer hold their breaths and laughed out loud.
"It's just I never imagined that I would get to see this side of yours!" Rajiv chuckled.
"Come now-" Shyra began to spoke but was cut off midway by Charles. "Not you dear," he smiled at her gently. "That feeble man over there."
"Feeble?" Rey suddenly shot up with energy. "I am not feeble." He declared. His reaction made Shyra chuckle softly. "Well don't mind them love, they're just joking. Here, finish the rest of the soup."
They chatted till dinner and then lazily went back to their apartments. Shyra was helping Nora clean up. "It's alright Miss. I can do it. You should tend to Sir. He doesn't look very well."
Shyra smiled and left Nora to the job and went to sit down beside Rey. "So do they camp here everyday?" he asked.
"Pretty much. They keep me company as long as they can. They left earlier today considering your health. Otherwise, Fridays like these are movie nights."
"Oh! You could have said that. I should get going to."
"Why though? You're still weak. It would not be very wise to leave at this hour. Besides, it's weekends, can't you just spend it here by my side?"
"Here? I don't want to bothe-"
Rey's lost his words halfway through as Shyra ran the knuckle of her index down the side of his face and traced his lips. Then she brought her mouth closer to his ears and whispered, "I would take good care of you."
He felt his cheek burning at her gestures. She was really trying to seduce him. Just at this thought, her voice, "Trying love? You're already smitten" sent his mind blank. He gulped. She already understood the feelings he couldn't say out loud. Laughing slightly s she leaned on the side of the sofa with her head tilted to the right supported by her hand. With her other hand, she swiftly grabbed the nape of his and pulled his face closer. Before he could speak, Shyra's lips captured his.
She gently coaxed his upper lips and slide her tongue into his mouth. Rey responded by trying to capture her lower lips and letting her in. She brushed off the upper corner of his mouth and sucked on his tongue then slowly drawing out to let him breathe. Rey felt like he was poured with a gush of warm water in freezing cold. Her kisses felt soft and soothing. She was being gentle he could feel it. But he wanted more.
"You are still weak," she reminded him.
"Please," he begged as his gaze settled on her lips.
"Alright then."
Making him lie down, she dropped lingering kisses on his face, tracing his eyes, cheeks and jaws before closing onto his lips. She sucked and bit his lower lip and proceeded play with his tongue as one of her hand supported his head and the other one traced down to his lower abdomen and slip under his shirt, tracing circles near his sensitive spots. "You like it?" she asked in between.
"Hmm," he uttered lightly.
Rey could feel the soft tease as her hands moved around his lower abdomen not giving him what he wants and her kisses began to devour him still gently. He wanted to return the favour but couldn't move under her legs that pinned him down with her weight. She was considerably strong for a slender woman more so, as he was already weaker than usual. Rey felt disappointed as she pulled away once again and closed up the trace of saliva between them.
She chuckled as she looked at his longing face. "Let's get you into bed," she said as she helped him up and led him to her bedroom. Tucking him in her soft blankets, she took of her housecoat, exposing her red tank top and red shorts.
"Not very sexy eh?" smiled at him slightly. Rey who was eagerly watching her flushed a little at her remark. She was indeed very attractive and bold but he couldn't say it out loud. She sat at the head of the bed and leaned down to kiss him.
This time she didn't pin him down and let him move freely under her as she held onto his nape and traced wet kisses down his neck. Rey felt like heating up again. Then one of her hands moved down to squeeze his inner thighs earning her a slight groan from him. She liked teasing him and watching him twirl under her.
Rey held on her and pulled her down. "I want more," he demanded.
"Love, you're unwell," she spoke softly as she kissed his forehead and rubbed his nose with hers.
"Hmm... I still want more. I want cuddles," he demanded again.
"That you can have," she smiled as she lied down and let him rest his head on her chest.
"May I?" he asked as he looked at her with his hands eager to travel around her.
"Hmm," she smiled and yawned lightly. She was still exhausted. It was Friday night after all. She had worked all day and was already sleep deprived from the previous night. Rey had forgotten totally that she had worked all day and had no rest unlike him. He felt a bit guilty for constantly demanding more when she was so worked up already.
He held on her tightly and buried himself in her soft bosoms after giving her a peck on cheek. Shyra adjusted herself, caressing his head and back as she let him sleep on her chest. Both of them slept soundly.
The next morning he woke up by a meadowy scent lingering near his breath. He opened his eyes o see Shyra asleep by his side. Her long fragrant and soft hair scattered on his face. Her olive skin glowing in the morning sun. He would have very much like to spread his arms as his illness was gone and his limbs felt lighter but, his beloved was sleeping so peacefully that he didn't feel like disturbing her at all.
Beneath the light pink messed up blanket, her slightly red tank top and shorts contrasted like a cherry blossom. Her glowing olive skin, fragrant long hair and meadowy scent made her look like a vixen hiding in the cherry blossoms, the flowers of Spring.
Rey kept staring at her sleeping face. It looked so calm. It was a bit different than how she usually looked. Her usual calm used to feel like the clouds broiling a storm but this one right here, she was calm like the lazy cascading water down the hills, where spring flowers flowed easily with the breeze showing off their mildly sweet yet enchanting fragrance.
He raised his head and kissed her forehead lightly. "I love you so much." He finally confessed. "I would give anything to see you sleeping so peacefully everyday. I promise I'll not let so much as a blade of grass graze your soft heart. Rest my love. Rest in my arms for as long as you would like. I would hold you till the end - you can count on me for that."
Whispering the words that agitated his heart for so long, Rey felt like he was lighter than the clouds and went deep in slumber once again. It was a lazy Saturday morning after all, thus, the two slept in each other's arms without a care in the world. Feeling the comfort of each other's newly blossomed love without the thought of future much like the innocent little children that played in the field of the Spring blossoms unsuspecting of the calamities that lie ahead. But even though they were not as innocent as the children, the scarlet of the soft Spring was yet to creep in.
