Lying in the cold desert, I was subconsciously counting the stars looking at the dark sky of the night. The moon shone brightly among them like he was the king while small stars here and there were protecting him from the darkness like his soldiers.

I smiled looking at the sky. Surely there must be a kingdom hidden in the sky. Maybe that's what people call heaven.

Suddenly, a frown took over my face as a dark shadow appeared from nowhere blocking the scene which I called heaven a while ago but that frown didn't last long when I actually got lost in my heaven.

Deep, sea blue pair of eyes was staring at me. Though the stare was cold..so cold that it could freeze the whole desert, it somehow made me warm as the heat travelled all through my body. I felt my cheeks hot and my body on fire. Thanks for my tan skin and darkness that concealed the fact that I was blushing. He closed his eyes hiding beautiful sea blue colour as he moved his face closer and closer. I knew what he was going to do. I knew how I would feel after that. I knew how he would ignore me the next whole day until night. I knew we were doing it for a quite long time now. I knew he was doing this just to provide us some heat to survive. I knew that my inner voice was dancing with joy while the feminist nagging voice behind my mind was protesting against it. I knew.. I knew everything but all I could do was feel him and give into him as I felt soft lips against mine.

It was bliss as his lips moved against mine in a sync. Filling each other or Fighting with each other, I couldn't figure out but all I knew that it was worth it. I could feel his heart drumming hard against his rib cage just like mine. It seemed like both our hearts were the prisoners caged for years in the rib cage.. shouting for their freedom.. being reckless inside the cage because all they wanted to be with each other... forever.

It felt so good. His body slightly above mine, his hands around my waist, my fingers wandering in his hair while our lips dancing with each other with the music of our heartbeat filling the background.

I know it was ephemeral but it felt eternal. We finally pulled apart to grasp some air. Our forehead touching each other, both breathing heavily, cold air striking our warm bodies, sand moving around mingling with the cold wind...but I didn't care about it at all because I was lost in the depth of his eyes which were like a frozen ocean with different layers and all I was trying to do was find the liquid layer below that frozen ocean.. find that emotion beneath that cold stare where all the life existed. Though I couldn't find it but I knew it was there.. hidden deep..very deep.

"Goodnight, Mr. Linton."

Seriously Mister?

I frowned but didn't open my mouth because the look in his eyes said everything. They were cold without any emotion like the thing between us didn't happen a while ago more like he didn't want to remember the thing that happened awhile ago.

But you know he has feelings for you. My inner voice poked it's head.

Feelings? For me? Never in a million years.

But how can you forget the way he looked at you a while ago and the way he kisse..

Shut up! That was just for business purpose, Of course. The cold could've kill us he was just providing some warmth because that miser wouldn't waste money to buy some extra blankets.

You didn't mind him when his hands were all over you?

Shut up! And that's because I needed the warmth too. After all, I'm a human being..

"Dressed as an ifrit " As he says.

Doesn't matter, because he's stone for everything especially his heart and so I completely understand if he doesn't understand humanly feelings.
