JAYSON'S POV
I stand outside the house dressed in a casual beach outfit of blue shorts and a grey vest with a silver neck chain, looking chic.
I check my wristwatch, wondering what's keeping her late.
I just hope everything I've planned today works out and doesn't flop.
I bring out my phone, and start pressing in bid to pass of time, when I hear, "Sorry, I kept you waiting." Looking up, I get blinded in a gorgeous light in human form.
Oh my fucking goodness! I exclaim silently, she looks so beautiful, she’s the prettiest lady I've ever seen, and that's not just a statement, no one comes close.
She's putting on a slimy singlet top, and a short skirt alongside a flowery scarf tied round her waist, and fuck! If she doesn't look so sexy.
"Hey, I'm here already, why are you staring at me like that?" I hear her ask and I snap out of my indecent thoughts.
"Um, nothing, you just look so sexy and pretty." I compliment her and I watch as she flushes, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red and I laugh quietly.
"Thanks though." She mutters and I put my hands out as I say, "Shall we?" I ask, and she nods and putting her soft hands in mine, we walk towards my car.
"Where are you guys going to?" I hear Jeanne, shouting from the top balcony and I reply shouting loudly, so she can hear me, "We are going to the beach."
"Uh wow, you lovebirds do look together though." She says again and we both chuckle together.
"Well, thank God I saw you guys now, I'll be going to mall, and some other place again, Incase you come back and don't meet me at home." She says and I and Cherry both nod, "Have fun." She waves loudly, blowing us an invisible kiss, and we wave her bye too and leave.
*********
We get to the beach in no time.
Luckily for Cherry, because I know she doesn't like crowds and me also somehow, the beach looks scanty.
Our slippers already pulled off from our feets, we walk bare footed on the warm beach sand and I look around, finding a spot for us to stay and eat something.
I spot a barbecue stand and I point towards it asking her, "Do you want some?" I say and she nods happily, "Yes, yes I do."
Walking over there together, I hand her a stick of saucy barbecue, pick one for myself also and pay for the two of them.
"This is so delicious." She says and I watch as she bites into the meat and I chuckle, "I know right." I say trying to continue the conversation, because I become lost on what to say and a comfortable silence settle in as we chew our steak and walk slowly.
"So how was Korea, how was school. You know you haven't told me about your experiences you know. What was your first time like? Did you make friends easily? Did you have difficulty speaking English and Korea together or?....." She stops trailing of and looks up at me.
"Well, the place didn't take me by surprise, as I've always wanted to go there, although for one I had to adjust with the bills there and most importantly the language. It was kind of difficult for me to communicate at first, because I was not so fluent." I say quietly and she listens with rasp attention as I tell her my experience, smiling as I relieve old memories.
We keep walking closer to the sea, until we reach the bank of the sea, watching the waves roll, and the cool evening blowing our hair, making it all a mess but also making the atmosphere very serene and sweet.
"Would you love to go in the water." I smirk knowing she would say no, but I have my plans.
"No, Jay, no, it's dangerous in there and besides it's getting dark." She reply briskly, nodding her head nervously.
"Come on pumpkin, don't be scared, I'm here for you, I'll take care of you, just be rest assured."
I take her unwilling hand gently and lead the way, as we both walk into the sea.
The waves touch her feets, and she moans in pleasure, "Wow, for someone scared I'm definitely loving this, the beautiful waves, the chilly breeze, so perfect for a swim."
"Now, you agree." I say chuckling, arranging her scattered hair slowly atop her head and I hear her breath hitch.
I'm tempted to take her lips in mine, but I don't want to rush anything this lovely evening or even ruin the moment so I control myself and continue caressing her hair gently.
Taking her hands, we keep walking ad she says, "I definitely like this Jayson, but don't let us go to deep okay." She says nervously and slowly, hiding her fears and I chuckle quietly, she's always safe with me, she just doesn't know that yet.
Taking this vulnerable moment, I say her name quietly, "Cher”
"Mmmmm." She responds.
I continue talking slowly, the breeze making the atmosphere so relaxed, I mentally and inwardly say a prayer to God, thanking him.
"I know I made a mistake back then, and I so regret it, I...." She interrupts me with a raised eyebrow as if she knows what I want to say, but she doesn't even know the half of it.
"Look, Jayson, we are past all that, I've already forgiven you."
"I know, but just listen to me, I should never have left you alone again, I should never have left without telling you, and I have come to realize that I just can't go on without you. Even when I left, when I thought I could start a new life, I felt incomplete, all these years, I have felt on incomplete, but now that I have your forgiveness and I have you right here by my side, I have peace of mind."
I see her eyes become watery, but I don't even move to clean it, I'm going to lay my all to her and I continue now that I can, "I want you to know, that I'm never going to let you go anymore. I'm never ever going to make that mistake again. The only thing that can separate me from you again is only death, Cherry."
I pause, clearing my throat as I continue again, "I don't want to hide my feelings from you anymore, the way I did those years. Ever since the first day I met you, the first time you came into my house, I fell in love with you my Cher'. I love you, more than life itself, more than you can imagine, please accept me back fully in your life."
Taking both of her hands in mine , and facing her, I watch as a stray tear falls from her face and I use one of my hands to clean it of.
I place my forehead on hers and whisper, "I love you." She keeps staring at me without uttering or saying anything, but she doesn't pull off either and I think it's because she doesn't know what to do or say.
She's lost in the moment just as I am, and I think that this is the moment I've being waiting for, no one can spoil it for us, leaning closer, I look down at her lips, which she's currently nibbling shyly, and I put my lips on hers claiming her and marking her as mine.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I continue kissing her, and she opens up so willingly I wrap my arms round her waist and pull her closer, and she surprises me by wrapping her hands on my neck.
Fuck! This feels so good, her lips are divine, tasting like fresh strawberries and peaches, the taste of the spicy barbecue flavoring it up more.
I roll my tongue in her mouth and I hear her moan in pleasure and I increase my pace.
Breaking the kiss, I look into her eyes, removing my hands from her waist and wrapping them in her face, and she pants softly, gasping for air.
"I love you Cherry, I won't get tired of saying this to you, nothing is going to set us apart. Through my darkest times you'll be my sunshine, I love you with all my heart. I promise to always be there for you, anytime and anywhere you need me. With you I'm always complete, and I wouldn't want to leave here without you, because I'll be going back empty. When I'm with you Cherry I feel complete. Please Cher', be the mother of my future kids, ride with me in this journey of life, don't turn me out Cherry, steady me always...."
I keep on saying, going down on my knees, stretching forth and bringing out the diamond engagement ring, I got some days back and opening the shiny box as she gasps, "Marry me, Cherry. Complete me."
