Breaking Silence

Chapter Twenty Eight

Two days had flown by since the random turn of events and neither of us had spoken a word to one another. I wanted to talk to him, but the right words won't come out.

I could always feel his eyes on me but whenever I looked at him, he would look elsewhere. He probably had lots to say, but he never said a word.

I didn't know how to feel about this, but I couldn't deny the fact that I enjoyed it. I enjoyed every second of our bodies molding into one.

"What's wrong?" His voice brought me out of my thoughts as I turned to look at him. I gave him a questioning look asking him what he meant by that.

"You're smiling yet tears are running down your face," he said, coming towards me. Touching my cheeks to feel that they were indeed wet and that I hadn't even noticed.

"I didn't even realize that I was," I said softly, my hands were still on my cheek. "Guess I'm only now seeing how stupid I was to try and change my destiny. I mean, I hurt you and nearly got myself kidnapped in the process."

He wrapped his arms around me as he pulled my body up from the chair. "It's not your fault that you reacted this way. They were supposed to fill you in on all this information when you was much younger."

He placed a soft kiss on my forehead before he flipped me around, so that I was now holding onto his back. I wrapped my legs around his waist as my hands went around his neck.

"Hold on tightly, we're going somewhere," he said, before taking off at an incredible speed. I pressed my head into his neck because hair strands were going into my eyes and it was a bit annoying. Maybe I should cut my hair once more.

It didn't take as long as I expected when he suddenly stopped. Lifting up my head, I gasped at the beautiful scenery.

We were in what looked to be a place straight out of a fairy-tale. The trees and plants were all vibrant and looked absolutely stunning. There were so many colourful flowers which I didn't recognize surrounding a crystal clear lake. I could just hear the water screaming my name.

"It's so simple yet so breathtaking and I don't even have words to describe the lake," I said as I jumped off his back and began walking around as I took in the woodsy scent mixed with the scents of the different flowers.

"Simplemente bonito," I said quietly before I was spun around by Ashanti. He was holding a beautiful pink flower in his hands as he looked at me.

"No tan guapa como tú," he said, with a big smile as he tucked the flower in my hair. I returned the smile before running to the lake, kicked off my slippers and dipped my feet in the cool water. It had been quite a while since I had last done so and I was already forgetting how calming and relaxing it felt.

I was soon joined by Ashanti who sat down besides me and copied my actions as he gently kicked his feet in the water. The two of us sitting besides a lake with smiles on our faces as we forgot about everything that was currently going on.

Well at least I did, but he seemed to have forgotten as well.

I brought my head up towards the sky as I closed my eyes and just breathed in air. The cool water flowing freely between my toes as I breathed in the air and hummed a little tune to myself as my mind cleared out all thoughts.

Suddenly, I was shoved into the water before Ashanti's loud laugh rang through my ears. I was now completely soaked in water as I watched the flower float away from me as I glared at him, but that made him laugh even more.

Quickly getting out of the water, I began to chase him all around as he run away from me. I hate to admit it, but he is a very fast runner which made it difficult for me to catch up to him and he was enjoying every second of this.

Giving up, I just allowed my legs to shut down as I fell onto the little dirt path. Sighing, I closed my eyes, stretched my hands and began rolling around in the dirt while pretending to make a snowman, well more of a dirt man.

"What are you doing?" Ashanti questioned curiously, as he just stared down at me while slightly amused, but I continued rolling about.

"None of your business," I huffed, as I rolled away from him and into some flowers that were close to me, but he followed me. He lifted me up from the ground and began to make his way to the lake as I groaned.

"Don't you dare throw me in again Ashanti or else," I threatened, even though I had no idea what I was going to do to him. He just laughed and continued walking towards the lake as I tightly clung onto him like a leech.

When he reached the edge, he tried to throw me into the water but I clung onto him as if my life depended on it. There was no way I was going to let him win again, either we both go in together or him alone, but definitely not me.

He tried one more time, but I pushed my body as much as I could towards the water which made us both fall in.

I swam away from him before I burst out laughing as I splashed him with water. He looked angry and I began swimming away from him and didn't look back to see how close he was.

After swimming in circles for quite a while, I was just about to look back and see where he was when a hand grabbed my leg and yanked me underwater. Knowing it was him, I remained calm as I let him drag me beneath the water and wrap his hands around me into a hug before placing a gentle kiss on my lips before we resurfaced.

I was about to playfully knock him for doing that when I was suddenly sucked away from this Earth and into the place I was now beginning to hate.
