1260 Words
Helliana wakes up early than usual. Usually, she wakes up late than Eustas. It is still dark outside but she is now sitting in a small stone waiting for the darkness to fade and change into the sunrise. She didn't sleep thinking that this day they will gonna go back to their homes.
She bend her chin closed to her knees while looking at the peaceful river, you can only hear its flows. When a cold breeze kissed her skin she suddenly gets trembled. She hugged her toes, slowly precious hot tears fell from her beautiful eyes down to her rosy cheeks.
Her shoulder trembled not because of the cold but because of stopping herself to make a noise while letting out the water from her eyes. But in minutes, she couldn't help herself but burst into a cry, her sobs are getting louder and louder, so she covered them with her hands.
She never knew that Eustas is also awake. No, they are both awake and feeling each other. Their minds and heart are in pain. Eustas is just closing his eyes but listening to her, he heard her crying out loud early in the morning.
And now he knew that he is not the one who is hurt about this, but their obligations may come first. He promised himself to visit her if she had time.
He closed his eyes tightly when her sobs touched her heart. An ache started to rotten from his stomach, his hands close into fists and grip the blanket that they shared. He wanted to go to her, comfort her and hug her but his body isn't cooperating. His body becomes stiffed as if it is now a statue.
"We will leave each other's arms but I never told him who am I. Who truly am I," she whispered and pulled her own hair. "Such a bitch."
When she saw the sun is starting to rise. She wiped her tears up and let out a deep breath. She is now ready to go back inside to hug Eustas. She stands up and ready to step when she saw a body covering her sight. The body that makes her heart jump in a beat. She slowly looked up, from his broader chest, nice shoulder, neck, and handsome face. He stepped back when she saw that his eyes are burning.
"Eustas," she called his name.
Eustas didn't waste any time and gave her rough kisses. He cupped her face to move it and kissed him back, so Helliana did kiss him back not minding that her eyes are sore from crying.
Eustas carried her body to her waist. Helliana's legs wrapped behind his waist as Eustas hold her butt not to fall.
They savor each other's lips like there is no tomorrow because they really don't have another day. He licked her upper lip.
"Ahh...Eustas," Helliana's encircled her arms in Eustas neck.
They couldn't stop themselves and their bodies are fighting the hotness they shared. Eustas kisses went down to her neck and sucked it.
Moans and sounds of their love are like music to their ears.
"More, Eustas..." She moaned hysterically as she looked up at the rising sun.
She felt Eustas moved and walk towards the big roots of a tree. Eustas lay her down there carefully as he looks at her burning eyes.
"I love you, Helliana. If you wish to stay here, we can, " he said and slowly unbuttoned her blouse that she is wearing. "Why did you go out just to cry when you can cry her in my shoulders?" he asked her while his eyes are welled up with tears.
When he finally unbuttoned her blouse Helliana take it out from her body and kiss him. She wiped his tears while kissing him.
"I am sorry," she said between their kisses.
Eustas stopped her, "Let me handle this, this day would be the best day of us."
He slowly tastes every edge of her body. From neck, leaving a mark on it and sucking her white clear shoulders and the most precious thing he owned, her chest.
He let out his tongue and it touches her peak. She moaned while biting her lips.
Eustas other hands massage the other one while he is sucking the right one. Helliana didn't know where to look, her face looks on the right and left sides.
"Ahh...Eustas...you are making me crazy."
"Be crazy on me, baby."
"Ahhmmm...More please! Ah! More..."
"Yes, I'll you more than you need."
When he finally stopped, he leaves many marks on it, red marks symbolize their love, his love. He takes off all his clothes and Helliana did too. They are now both naked in front of each other.
"You know how much I love you, right?" he asked but Helliana is just staring at his manly man who saluting her. He gulped her saliva, "Helliana, I am asking you."
She looked at him innocently, "No, I didn't look at your man, I am not drooling." She said shaking her head.
His forehead creased, "What are you saying? I didn't ask you such things, Helliana."
Helliana closed her eyes as she nibbles her lips, "Ah--, just enter me! Don't talk too much, Eustas."
After many rounds they did. They finally get tired and now laying down inside their tent cuddling each other.
"Are you alright?" Eustas asked her.
"No, I am not."
He sighed and say, "Do you want to eat before we pack our things?"
Helliana remained silent and close her eyes.
"Or do you want me to pack your things too? If you are tired I can do it." He tried to make a conversation but Helliana didn't answer him. "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" he worriedly asked and moved her body to face him but he can not.
"Baby, please talk to me," he pleaded.
"You asked me earlier, If I wanted to stay here. Can you really do it?"
Eustas grip went tight in her shoulder.
"Yeah, I know. I can't stay here too, and I know you have things to do too." Her voice is shaky with every word she muttered.
"I am sorry, Helliana. I promise to visit you, remember?" he reminded her and gave many kisses on her bare shoulder.
"Yeah, I'll send you a letter after 2 days when I get there through my bird." She said.
"Do you have a bird?"
"Yeah, he is Hitchy. He is my pet, but I barely visit him when I am planning to go here." She told him. Eustas let an amusing smile.
"I thought you are dog lovers or cat lovers," he laughed, "I don't have a pet but my sister had."
"No, I don't like dogs or cats." Because they are afraid of wolves, they are afraid of us.
She didn't continue what she said.
"That is unusual because we didn't play with birds because they are afraid of us," he said and let out a laugh. "I can still remember seeing a bird in our gate and I caught it but it eventually killed herself because she is afraid."
Helliana's shoulder shook in laughter, "Really?"
"Yeah, from now on I didn't catch birds anymore."
"Maybe that bird think that you might eat her,"
"Yeah, I think so. But, baby. You should eat. Don't entertain me here, get up and change your clothes."
"No, Eustas. Wear clothes, you take them off remember?" she corrected him. and raise her brows.
"Yeah, wear clothes." He kissed her and stand up.
