That Day He Lost Her

CHAPTER 4

"Hey " I said to get Blake's attention.

He is sitting on a sun lounger while watching the view of the see under a red orange sky.

" The water seems so relaxing. want to take a dip?" I can see joy in his eyes as he turned his head to look at me.

He looks so cute! How can this man be cute and handsome at the same time?

I remembered he really loves water. He loves to swim. It even became his sport during his elementary and highschool days.

But I don't know if he still do swimming.

"But I don't know how to swim and I'm wearing a dress it will get heavy. "

Even if he taught me how to swim before, I still don't know how. Also, due to my condition, I am really not allowed to.

Although I can still swim but not in the deep part.

"Don't worry I'll hold you and you can wear my shirt " he offered

He looks so innocent and really determined.

God Blake don’t look at me with those eyes. I feel like I will melt.

“okay, but we will not go to the deep part?”

He pouted but still nod his head and smiled.

He took off his shirt and gave it to me.

I stare at his perfectly build body.

What a good sight!

"Babe, you can stare at it later. Change first please?"

I looked away. I heard his manly chuckle that made my face heat more.

"Give me that" I took the shirt out of his hand and wear it first after taking off my dress.

He looked at me from head to toe when I'm done changing. That made me blush!

"Let's go? " He offered me his hand and I took it.

I instantly closed my eyes as I felt the soothing sensation of the seawater.

This is so good I missed this.

I looked at Blake and I was in awe. He looked like a Greek god!

His hair is a bit messy because of the wind. His green eyes piercing at me.

The view even complemented him. The color of the sky and the sunset behind him makes me can't stop looking at him.

“Let’s go deeper?” I nodded removing my eyes at his face.

stop staring at him Asteria! You’ll look creepy god!

Well you already look creepy to him, remember?

You chased him and keep confessing your undying love ever since you were kids.

Okay! Now will you shut up?

We stopped walking when the water level is at my shoulder.

“is this good enough?”

“uhm, yes”

“ at the count of three we will dip down okay?” He said with a wild smile.

“ okay “ I chuckled we are like kids.

“okay, 1, 2 ,3 “ we dip down together and felt the water consumed my face. This is so relaxing. I can feel the coldness of the water and the night wind. We went up together and I can hear his chuckle.

“ It’s been a long time since I felt this” he said while staring at me. It felt like his memorizing my face or something. I felt nervous for a moment.

I leveled the way he looked at me. He slowly pulled me closer and looked at me in the eyes. I saw a familiar emotion in his eyes. It feels like those in the movies. Where the men looked at the girl with those eyes and kiss them? Yes he is using those eyes now! This is it Asteria! I closed my eyes and pouted my lips waiting for his lips to touch mime. But I waited for a few seconds and did not felt it.

“ What are you doing?” he laughed so loudly while looking at me.

“ I- I thought” God! Asteria! your such an embarrassment!

I hope the waters will consume me!

“ I’m going to kiss you?” His laugh became louder and louder. I can’t look at him. I probably look like a tomato now.

“ you should see your face” he said while holding his tummy and laughed more.

I turned my back at him and quickly walked away almost running. I can’t! I felt like I need to recharge my confidence again to face him. That is the most embarrassing I ever did. I felt him following him. Why is it so hard to walk on water.

“Asteria wait!” he shouted with laughter. As much as walked faster he still manage to caught me.

“ you’re making fun of me” fudge!

I felt my voice shake. I hate it! I always cry so easily!

“ Hey, I’m sorry” he said but I still felt his holding his laughter. He held my chin to make me look at him but I avoided my face from his hold.

“Baby, I’m sorry” He said in a serious voice now.

I felt his hand grabbed my hand to pull me closer to him. And the last thing I remembered was his lips on mine.

Oh my god! Oh my god!

He gave me a gentle kiss while moving his lips slowly .

Wait! Wait I don't know how to do this.

I closed my eyes as a result of the sensation. Although it just lasted a few seconds, I felt like I was losing my air. He looked at me with those sleepy eyes-

“ Madam Asteria, Seniorito Blake! Are you there?!” I got distracted to that loud voice! I quickly moved away from Blake.

“ We’re here Rafa!” Blake answered still looking at me.

While here I am still shocked!

“ oh! Seniorito You’re parents are looking for you!” I turned my head to where Rafa is.

“ we’re coming Rafa!” I shouted back. He just nodded and walked away.

I started to walk leaving Blake behind! Wait! Did Blake Achlys Martinez really kissed me?!

I feel like I will shout!

I felt his presence behind.

“Hey are you still mad at me?” he's voice sounds worried.

No Blake I’m not mad! I’m just so speechless and happy! Another wish of mine came true! That was my first kiss and it was Blake who took it.

“ No” I replied without looking at him. But I guess he sensed what I was feeling right now, because I heard his manly chuckle.
