His chest continued to rise and fall, eyes locked dead on me,
"Iun?"
He shifted, closed his eyes and exhaled, "seeing you here got me excited...in many different ways" he leaned forward, bringing my hand up to kiss it.
"I'm sorry if I scared you"
"No...you didn't"
"Hmm" he slid into the space next to me, "I love you so much Elora. So much it feels like my heart's going to burst open in my chest because my love for you is too much to stay contained in there"
I leaned into him, kissing his chin and his kiss-swollen lips.
"I love you so much I might explode because I can't phantom how hard I've fallen in love with you. Everyday I wake up and I wonder 'Did I win Mother Nature's jackpot?'. I love you much I think I'm going crazy"
I gushed, stroking his handsome face as I poured my heart out to him.
"I love you, Elora"
"I love you so much, Iun"
We lay together, watching the ocean creatures swim by his room's window.
"Hey, what time is it?"
"Past noon"
"Hm, I wonder how Dream is doing?"
"Wanna go back to land?"
"If you're parents are cool with it"
"Oh please, those two are so engrossed in each other that they won't notice we even left until a week later"
"Ah, I see"
"Elora, let's get engaged when we go back to Land"
I gawked, nearly choking on my own saliva. Tears burned the edges of my eyes.
Dear Mother Nature. I'm behind saving now.
"Let's get engaged"
I slipped my palm into his, intertwining our fingers together and locking them in place.
