34 Together

Aurora was bewildered. She thought he would say apologized and explain everything. But the the moment he can finally speak, he confessed and ask her to stay with him. To be exact, he stated. Determined to make her stay even if he were to use force. He doesn't care. He was supposed to follow the script. Now it was her turn to be speechless. Not hearing any response from Aurora, his body started to tense up. He was starting to feel insecure once again. His calm heartbeat start beating rapidly. She can feel all those changes before she sighed and look up.

"I thought you wanted to apologize." She said resignedly.

"I could apologize to you every single day if you stay with me." He explained.

"What would you do if i don't want to stay? How would you apologize then?"

"Then i'll just kidnapped you. I rather you hate me for the rest of your life but as long as i can stay with you." His face come close to her letting their forehead touch while he look at her passionately. She return his gaze and smile coquettishly.

"f you can't find me for the past two years, what makes you think it's easy to kidnap me? You do realize you're on private property at the moment." She might have a new hobby at the moment. Teasing the easily flustered husband. Hearing that, his face start to change and he start looking alarmed again. He held onto her tightly, crushing her bones in between. She regret teasing him. The strength that he have could easily made Caleb flip if he doesn't know how to control it. She's going to end up staying on the bed because of him one of these days.

"No, you're not going anywhere. I'm not going to let you go anymore. Don't leave me anymore. It's painful when you're not around. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't leave me again. Stay. Stay with me." He said nervously. He buried his face onto her neck. She tapped his arm to make him loosen up. But he still didn't take any notice. She sighed and decided to placate him for the mean time. Plus, it was her fault to begin with. She hugged him back.

"I'm not going anywhere. Wherever you are, that's where i'll be." She can feel him loosen up but still unwilling to let go. He looked up to see her face as if he wants to confirm what he heard just now was real. Seeing her nodded, he nodded back and smile. He was content. To have her in his arm. Enjoying the night as if that two years of nightmare never happen. It wasn't until he recalled her words when she said the beach is a private property.

"The beach is a private property? Is that the reason why i don't see anyone around? Won't we get caught for trespassing?" He finally have his wit back.

"No worries. It's mine. It's guarded. And here i was wondering how did you happen to be here?" She said. He was perplexed. He wanted to ask himself the same thing also. As it seem, when his mind was in a turmoil he just let his leg took him wherever it wants to go. The next moment he saw the rocky place and decided to rest there after a long walk.

"I don't know." He said.

"Never mind. There's just someone trying to play a cupid at the moment." She grumbles. Aurora had a feeling her brothers are part of this. If her guess is correct, the coincidence at the airport must be part of their plan also. She sighed. She can never hide anything from them any longer.

"How long are you going to be here?" She asked unwittingly. As if they never had any misunderstanding nor quarrel with each other. Asking like it's the normal thing. From a wife to a husband.

"Depends." He said curtly. She frowned.

"Meaning?"

"Depends how long you're going to be here as well."

"Forever." She smile slyly.

"Then forever it is." He answered without any hesitation. She was overwhelm before burying her head on his chest.

With him here with her, she forgot about the poison that could take her life anytime. If it was true she can't have a long life, then she want to spend her entire life with him. To do something together with him. To cry together with him. And to laugh together until her time is over. Will she regret it later? Causing Cole another pain in losing her? For now, she rather to let that question to be answer by fate. At this moment, no. She never regret staying with him. People will die. But that doesn't mean she will wait the grim reaper gloomily.
