Chapter 21- Rides & Phobias

CHAPTER 21

Christian couldn't stop kissing her, the feel of her lips on his was an unmatched experience, he couldn't describe it.

Coaxing her gently, feeling her stiff around him, he wrapped his hands around her neck, softly kneading them and bit her lips gently, the action made her gasp in surprise and pleasure and he used the opportunity to slide his tongue in.

He was kissing those pert rosebud lips of hers, so succulent and soft, Christian hummed in satisfaction.

Drawing her closer, he removed his lips from here gently so he could see her reaction, but was stunned when she agressively wound her arms around his neck also and kissed him passionately to.

********

Sara couldn't believe she was kissing him back more fiercely and enthusiastic than before, she couldn't explain what she had felt ever since he had placed his lips on hers.

Although she had been stiff and adamant at first but wanting to open to him, as this was her first time and she had no idea how to go about it, he had gently massaged her shoulders, drawn circles on her neck with his fingers and had held her gently.

These feelings had taken her to cloud nine, that when he tried to stop kissing her, she had lost it and had wrapped her arms around his neck demanding to be kissed better.

His primal hum of satisfaction made her hot all over, this insane feeling was strange to her, she couldn't put to word what this was doing to her body, mind as soul it was incomprehensible.

They continued kissing passionately, their lips and tongues syncing together in a beautiful rhythm.

Sighing slowly, Sara gently pulled away from him and stared at him with so much compassion and love.

"I think I'm falling in love with you already Christian, I don't know how love feels, or what it entails, but anytime I look at you my heart beats rapidly and frantically, I think about you everyday and it brings smiles on my face everytime, you are slowly becoming this important person in my life and I just can't imagine it."

"Oh Sara." Christian groaned, pulling her closer, she didn't know when he turned her backwards facing the ocean, placed his arms round her belly and put his face on her shoulder blades.

Drawing soothing circles all over her palms, he whispered gently into her ears, she was surprised as to how she could even hear him.

"Sara mine, I'll never forget today, this will go on to become a date that will usher in more dates now and ever, I won't leave you for anyone, anything or any reason, you hold the key to my heart, you have unlocked the padlock holding it since God knows when, I won't ever forget the day I met you, Oh Sara I love you so much." 

Tears sprung up her eyes, no one had ever brought so much peace, serenity & love into her life.

Turning to look up at him she said, "Christian, promise me you won't break my fragile heart." "I won't my love, I mean right with you, okay." He replied.

**********

Tears were dripping down her face, she was already getting teary eyed, not wanting the tears to drop, Christian dipped his hands in his trouser pocket and brought out a flower embroidered handkerchief to wipe it away.

She was sniffling, and he used the handkerchief to clean her face gently. 

"Lets head over to the boat, so I can take you on a trip of your lifetime, what do you think?" He asked her.

"Are you the one riding the boat." She asked in reply to his question.

"A question for a question, well yes I am the one riding the boat love." He replied chuckling.

Her eyes bulged out in awe and surprise, "Oh wow, can you ride it well, I mean don't get me wrong you know this is night and all that and I don't want to die yet." She said and he laughed out loud.

"Sara love, have no fear and just put absolute faith in me, you'll enjoy this ride and nothing will happen to you I promise."

"Okay if you say so." She placed her hands in his already offered hand and together they walked to where the boat stood overlooking the sea shore, the breeze billowing wildly, whipping through her hair, she looked so stunning and without any care in the world.

Gently guiding her on the backseat of the boat, Christian offered her a safety helmet, which she wore carefully over her head, and when she was done he put on his own, climbed the driver's seat of the machine boat, revved the engine and shouted, "Are you ready love?"

"Yes I am." She replied laughing wildly, her voice a soothing balm unto his ears.

"Okay then, here we go." He said and with that he took off rather speedily.

**********

Sara couldn't hide her excitement as the wind whipped pass them, the water from the ocean occasionally touching her feets, she was in massive  euphoria.

Having no idea where they were going to at that time of the night, Christian glided through the water with ease and so much fluidity that she was surprised.

Shouting atop her lungs, she asked him "Where did you learn how to ride like this." 

For a moment she felt him stiffen at her back before he answered, "My dad, my dad actually taught me how to ride boats when I was younger, he was a sailor, should I tell you something shocking about me?" He asked her and she nodded in response.

"I was hydrophobic before, I detested swimming, rivers, even to take my bath sometimes was a big problem on my part, became they brought back memories of my late Dad." 

"Oh I'm so sorry, do you still have the phobia?" She asked him and he chuckled lightly and replied.

"No I don't, if I did would we be doing this eh miss Sara?" He asked playfully and she laughed loud.

It seems they were going back to the shore, cause she could see the beach sand already, sighing in contentment and having enjoyed this date, she leaned closer to his back, and whispered slowly in his ears.

"I'm so sorry about your Dad's loss, and thank you for today, I won't forget it in lifetimes to come, words Icant describe the feelings I have for you but I really love you Christian, I really do."

***********

Finally she was confessing her love for him, elated at the fact that she felt the same way that he felt about her, Christian was so excited.

He was really going to spoil her,no worries he was going to make her the happiest girl in the world, now as they approached the sea shore he was reluctant for their date to end.

He wanted to continue it but the night had other plans, as thunder rumbled and it was clear an imminent storm was approaching.
