398 BASHFUL

Zuri rested her head on Chaos’ shoulder, as they watched the sun disappear behind the trees.

Both of them were lost in their own thoughts, as their eyes were stuck to the horizon, faces aglow with the last orange rays before twilight beckons the stars, as if the sky itself could speak of love.

Chaos’ lips bore the semblance of a smile, just enough to show that he was enjoying this very moment with her, while Zuri snuggled closer to him, so that he could feel her presence, as her intoxicating scent engulfed his senses, yet both of them stayed quiet, allowing themselves to stay lost in this moment a little bit longer.

“Is it possible for us to stay like this forever?” Zuri asked quietly, as Chaos wrapped his arms around her body. His eyes were fixed on the horizon, as day passed and the sky gradually became darker. “How nice will it be to stay like this forever...”

There was silence between them, yet it felt very content, as they didn’t need to share a word to show their feelings. They knew that their hearts were in the right place, but this was not something that would last forever.

Chaos tilted his head and then lifted her chin. He stared into her hazel eyes. “You belong to me,” he said. She belonged to him no matter what and he didn’t want to be apart from her anymore.

On the other hand, Zuri reciprocated the way he stared at her and then nodded. “Yes, that’s why, we need to fight this ridiculous fate, right?”

And in order to fight it, they needed to let go of this peaceful moment, as they knew sooner or later, their past would come to them. Aaron would wreck this realm with catastrophes and there would no longer be a peaceful place like this.

They needed to stop him before that happened, before he could set them apart for the third time. He had succeeded doing that twice already, but not anymore. This time would be different...

.....

It was Zuri, who leaned over and kissed his lips. She raised her hand and put it behind his head, as she deepened her kiss, yet she still felt it was not enough, as she moved in front of Chaos and straddled him instead. She sat on his lap while still kissing him.

Chaos’ breath quickened with the way she kissed him, as she let him touch her...

In that kiss, was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into one moment. In her kiss, he was home.

His kiss this time was not like any other kisses they shared before, but one doused in a passion that was ignited, it was beyond primal. In his kiss, was the promise of years and the sweetness of waiting for pure love.

Zuri pulled herself away slightly, as she breathed heavily, to look at him, to remember this feeling and the face of the man that would sacrifice everything for her.

“I love you, my Blue...” Chaos said, his voice was so deep and filled with emotion, something that he wouldn’t let anyone see. He only presented this raw feeling to her.

“You know how I feel...” Zuri replied, as she pushed him down and let Chaos lay on his back on the grass. She leaned over to kiss his neck.

Chaos’ eyes lit up and he tried to fight the urge to push her down and kiss her hard, make love to her right there and then.

Her kisses upon his neck started a fire within him that no one else could ignite.

And above them, the starry night sky felt like a cozy blanket...

historical

Lovers were flames that breathed all the more deeply for being closer together; it was then they shone brighter, both within and upon one another, becoming a source of light and love in the world, showering sparks of chaos into the dark night.

Chaos wrapped his arms around Zuri’s waist for a moment of vulnerability, as he let her head rest against his chest.

All of his thoughts stopped, as his heart took over when they were so close like this. He felt the need to touch her, as if he wanted to be more certain that she was real, that she was with him right now.

Nobody ever made him feel the way she did when she kissed him...

Zuri leaned forward and her warm breath brushed past his ear, then she whispered something. Chaos swore, she was the only person who could keep his heart beating, because without her, it would simply stop. Chaos simply would stop caring about everything else...

========================

Zuri opened her eyes, and turned her head slightly to find Chaos’ sleeping face right next to hers. He looked at ease with his lips slightly ajar, while above them, the night sky blanketed the world.

Zuri leaned over slowly and kissed his cheek softly, as she tried to free herself from Chaos’ arms that wrapped tightly around her body.

She didn’t know what made him sleep so soundly like this, but he was not even awake when she moved away from him.

Zuri had never seen Chaos sleep like this, except when he was severely wounded, but this time it was a little bit different from what she remembered.

“Sleep well, my Chaos,” Zuri whispered into his ear, as she grabbed her dress and put it on, she was slightly bashful when she found out she was completely naked, while Chaos still had his pants on.

Ugh.

And to think that they did that under this tree. This was not any ordinary tree that you would see everywhere...

“Can we talk?” Zuri knocked on the tree, since she didn’t know how to call him to come out. “I need to talk to you about something.”

For a moment there was no response, until a rough voice sounded. “Are you clothed?”
