CHAPTER 24: JUST YOU AND ME IN THE HUT (2)

Ocean was sitting on the floor waiting for her to come out from the bathroom. He looked up and saw Rhianna already changed her clothes.

Rhianna saw Ocean's face was a little pale but she did not mind maybe he need to refresh up too. "It's your turn now to the bathroom."

Ocean got up slowly and went straight to the bathroom. He heard splashes of water, not for long Ocean came out with a khaki short and plain blue shirt.

Rhianna hangs her clothes outside. She saw clothesline with clothespins near the window. When Ocean finishes showering, she gets his wet clothes and hangs it too.

Rhianna keep on looking on Ocean's pale face, 'He is not in good shape', she thought. She walked towards him then touches his forehead. 'I knew it'.

She opened her bag and take out the first aid kit. She looks for a paracetamol for fever. She opened the bottled water and handed it to Ocean.

Ocean was sitting against the wall; he knew that his forehead was hot but did not say anything to Rhianna. He thought that he would be alright after taking a shower. Nevertheless, it did not, he just closed his eyes for a minute. He was not aware when Rhianna was already in front of her.

When she offered Ocean the water and medicine, she thought that Ocean will get it. She stayed the same position but did not notice her. She patted his shoulder; Ocean opened his eyes then closed. Rhianna put the medicine directly to his mouth and she let him drink the water too.

She gets her small towel to wipes his wet hair until it dries. He is still in hot temperature and needed to monitor every four hours. She placed her blanket and favorite pillow on the floor then helped him lay down on the floor for properly rest.

It is still stormy outside, she heard from Henley that there is no typhoon coming. But the way it looks seems different. She looked at Ocean; he was trembling from cold weather. She quickly opened Ocean's backpack. She saw sleeping bag inside. She took it out, unzips the zipper then she can put him inside and zip it easily.

Ocean is still in cold; she does not know what to do. Her phone was no coverage at all even Ocean too. 'What should I do?'

It was nearly evening; the rain did not stop even a bit. Ocean is still not feeling well. Rhianna placed the medicine in Ocean's mouth but he just took it out. She decided to put it in her mouth and feed it to his with water.

His body is still trembling and she got scared if it will go on that way. She has no another options, she needs to warm him up.

"Since this is unexpected situation, I do not want to blame by others. I just closed my mind and eyes for this." She murmured.

Her hands were quivering when she takes off his short and shirt. She closed back the sleeping bag zipper then she takes off her clothes too. She went inside the sleeping bag naked. Of course, she was still wearing her undies and bra. She hugged him tight. Ocean's body stopped shaking; the body heat was really helping.

She felt relieved. She felt sleepy after all the things happened. She could not control not to close her eyes.

---

Ocean slowly opened his eyes, a glimpse of light from the surrounding. He came to his senses that he was not in his room. He realized that he was in the hut with Rhianna. 'Oh yeah, Rhianna where is she?'

Ocean felt something of his body. He looked down and saw Rhianna was hugging him and his arm was in hers too. He was trying to recall what happened. He had a fever and Rhianna was talking to him about taking a medicine. From that, he could not remember the rest.

'They were inside his sleeping bag and … they were naked.' His mind was blank. 'Why are they naked?' Then he recalled that Rhianna was saying something when he was so freaking cold. He could not exactly remember what she said. But he can understand why she had to do what she needs to do. That is why they were not naked.

He stayed still and afraid to make some moves for Rhianna might wake up. He is staring at her for a while. His fever was slowly down.

Looking at her, sleeping beside him felt something unexplainable. This is his first time looking at her without her glasses. She is extremely beautiful without her glasses. He strokes her hair carefully not to wake her up then kissed her forehead. He closed his eyes back.

Rhianna felt aware about something. Automatically opened her eyes and touched Ocean's forehead. She was calmly breath when his fever was no longer hot. She laid eyes on him while he was sleeping. She was studying his face carefully.

Ocean on the other hand, felt that Rhianna woke up and immediately cares for him. He was touch by her concern. He did not open his eyes but waiting for the right moment. He did not know until when he goes along with it.

They both naked and their body heat were something he could not bear to control. He knew that Rhianna was looking at him. He could feel her breath near to his.

He thought of something so that Rhianna will not feel awkward in the situation. He blinked his eyes even it was close.

Rhianna startled when she saw Ocean was blinking but did not open his eyes. She does not know what to do. Go back either to sleep or to get up but how can she get up when they were inside the sleeping bag naked.

'Yeah right, I forgot we are naked. Omg! What am I doing?'

Ocean will no longer deny. He will just open his eyes no matter what it may be. Both of them were staring at each other at the same time. Rhianna's face has shown like a crayon-colored red. Ocean did the same too.

They were silently eye-to-eye contact. No words came out from their mouth. She gulped down as she was looking at his lips. His lips were not pale anymore but it looks yummy. She shook her head.

Ocean swallows his saliva. He was looking at her lips too. He wet his lips and stared to her eyes. Rhianna's whole body was in heat like intensity something. She saw Ocean wetting his lips she knew what would happen next.

'They were facing each other side by side naked, between male and female alone in the mountain. Of course, it will be something she could imagine.' Her thoughts were meddling.

She closes her eyes when Ocean slowly bends closer to her lips.

Ocean will not hold back anymore when his face wants to kiss her, Rhianna closed her eyes so it means he will allow him to go. He did not waste any time for it.

An unexpected kiss, sweet kiss, he gave to Rhianna. It was their first kiss, slowly, gently and amazingly tasty kiss.

However, it did not come to last. It wants more when they continued kissing. Ocean break free slowly, he looked at her.

"Tell me if you want to stop me to do more and I will stop." He whispered Rhianna holding both of his hands into her face. Nevertheless, Rhianna just stared at him without saying anything.
