A Promise Of Infinity

Dilemma

"You know that, you know how scared I am, yet you still choose on his side," Corale flipped Gael's defense through her eyes. She could feel her hands shaking from the trauma that was still affecting her body.

"I know. I'm the stupid one here," Gael admitted without any defense at all, "I won't keep anything secret from you anymore. I'll always be by your side."

"Gael ..."

"Corale ..." Gael ventured out his right hand, he smiled a little to hide his happiness that he let it touch her white cheek. He moved slowly, caressing using the back of his finger, "I miss you so much, my love."

Corale's heart wavered, even more, when Gael called her by that special name after they officially became lovers. She tried to brace herself, but he gave her no room to do so with a soft kiss on her lips. The strength in her entire body to resist just vanished like that. She just stood there feeling intense, demanding, and inviting on her lips.

'Why ...?'

Only that one sentence appeared in Corale's head before slowly returning the kiss with a pounding heart.

Gael was so happy that his attempt to invite Corale had succeeded at the point where he wanted to give up. With a swift movement, he wrapped his arms around the petite body of the woman he loved, pulling her into his warm embrace, releasing his longing. He didn't allow too long a gap for her to catch her breath, he brought their lips together again into a french kiss, still not satisfied.

Corale was getting carried away even more, but Gael's movements in her mouth were too passionate that she couldn't keep up, and without knowing, a small moan escape her wet lips, "Mmm ..."

Corale's moan in the middle of their kiss instantly made Gael's brain imagine the hot night they almost did it at his house. How that incident had disturbed his sleep the past few days, How he badly wanted to repeat it again, repeating his previous choice of stopping to agree to touch more gently, claiming she was his alone.

"Gael ..." Corale called out helplessly as soon as their kiss ended for the second time.

Gael who saw Corale's innocent face blushed red reminded him again of that night, the same expression on her face when under his touch. Regret rose in his heart, he regretted being so excited that his touch seemed rough, especially since it was her first time being intimate with someone.

But this time ...

Gael wouldn't repeat the same mistake. He gave Corale a quick peck on Corale's pink lips, then down to her ear, whispering his desire in his husky voice, "Want to come to my house, my love? I'll show you that I'm only yours." He stroked her back sensually for an even clearer signal.

Now that their troubles are solved, he would no longer hesitate to stop like before. He would make Corale completely happy.

Corale let out a soft gasp in realization, fully aware of what had happened. What did she do. Her body froze in shock that she was easily carried away by the atmosphere Gael created.

Showing that Gael belongs to hers alone ...

It was the same line as just before Gael took off her flower-patterned dress and touched her sensitive breast that she had to stop him for being a bit rough, and admitting shyly that she was a virgin, begged to be treated more gently.

Because of Corale's shy confession as well, the fiery passion in Gael's navy blue eyes was quickly replaced by regret, and the confession of him stealing her stash while she was asleep after they had been drinking together came to light.

"Corale?"

"No!" Corale screamed frantically, "No. I can't ...!"

Gael tried to calm Corale who suddenly panicked by gently stroking her shoulder, but his hand was pushed away roughly. He was at a loss for words for a moment, shocked at how quickly her mood had changed before calming down once more, "What do you mean, Corale? Calm down."

Corale lost control even more, her feet stepped back while her eyes widened in fear at Gael, "I can't. We'd better be friends again!"

Gael's body instantly froze hearing Corale's confession. He was too shocked, hard to accept their relationship ended like this. He just stood there letting her go.

Corale walked away, her feet stepping to where Agnes was, taking her home. She tightly gripped her little sister's hand, "Let's go home," she said quickly.

Agnes didn't move from the swing she was sitting on but instead asked, "Home? Gael is still on the bridge."

"Just come with me now ...!" Corale said demandingly.

Agnes shuddered in fear, she stood up and immediately ran to where Gael was, unfortunately stopped by Corale, "I don't want to ...! Because you look scary right now, Sis!"

Corale realized her request seemed like an order. She tried to calm herself by taking a deep breath and wiping the sweat off her face using tissue in her bag, "Gael isn't coming with us."

"What? You're lying!" Agnes refuses to believe it because Gael promised to take her home.

"Yes," Corale said, holding back the emotions welling up in her heart, "Gael has urgent business to do, so we should head home first. You don't want Mom to worry, do you?"

"Mom ..." Agnes clearly didn't want to make her mother who was still sick worried, "OK, but can I see Gael for a bit?"

Corale considered for a moment. She lied to Agnes, if she met Gael, he would be found out, and maybe they would go home together. But if she refused, she knew her sister would suspect her.

Both options are not profitable.

"OK," Corale finally allowed with high hopes Gael understood she didn't want to talk yet, especially with her refusal just now. She couldn't believe she said she wanted to stay friends.

'He must be in shock.'

Corale watched Agnes running along with a cheerful hum as she approached Gael who still stood in shock.

'Of, course he is. What am I thinking?'
