"Did that mother ever consider how frightening it was for a child to be left alone? Did she ever take into account how frightening it was to live in a place that you have never been into?" Kate's unexpected outburst stunned Yael. Her words caused him to feel pain. "Did she ever think about how her child felt after being abandoned, especially at such a young age?" Kate had to control her breathing because she felt suffocated. "It was like being alone in a street, where there's a lot of bends to turn to! But because of too many bends to choose from, it was so hard to pick! Of course! How hard would it be for them to choose from something they have never reached before? How difficult would it be for a child to choose something that she had never felt? It was like taking a leap without faith because there would never be an assurance if they would be saved!" Kate felt like her heart was being squeezed by strong hands. She immediately remembered her days in the orphanage. Like the chick

Wet, soft, and quick.Kate's eyes widened as her eyes locked on Yael's face beneath him. He was staring at her in disbelief as well.He immediately grabbed her body when she slipped. But because they were in an unfavorable position, it was too late that they outbalanced their bodies.Yael, on the other hand, was too quick to change their position, so he fell into the shallow water and she landed on top of him. She knew she should have asked if he was hurt, but their lips had already met.Making both of them freeze in their places.The sudden croaking of the frogs jolted them back to reality. Kate immediately drew back. Her face was flushed, and she wiped her lips quickly. Damn! Not again!"You're welcome," Yael said, trying to ease the awkwardness."You…!" Kate looked at him in pissed. "Thank you was enough. At least you did not fall right?" "Even so!""Why so irritated? It's my lips that caught yours. Can't you just be grateful?" Yael was clearly having fun teasing her.She was ini

Lip locked. Tongue intertwined. Body pressed against each other.It seemed that they had forgotten where they were.Yael started to roam his left hand on Kate's body. Caressing every skin that it touched. While his right hand was still on her waist, pulling her closer to his body. Their wet shirt and the cold from the waterfalls didn’t dissipate the building of desire within.Kate moaned inside his lips, making both of their temperatures increase. She felt suffocated and unsure, that’s why she pulled out. Her eyes stared at Yael's burning gaze with unconscious desire and confusion. She was catching her breath with her swollen parted lips.Yael could not get enough of her. Her parted lips and hot breath that could reach his face made him want to claim her lips again. So he did. With his eyes closed and an uncontrollable heartbeat beating incredibly fast, he held her face gently. He licked her lips. He bit and played with her tongue. He sucked it. He yearned for something that would enr

"You really don't want to come with me?" Yael repeatedly asked Kate who had not been paying attention to him."I said, I don't wan---" Kate faced him pissed but halted when she noticed what he was holding.Is he planning to---Yael smiled sheepishly when she noticed Kate's reaction. I knew it!"Are you going to catch a fish?" Kate exclaimed. She ran up to him, but he just shrugged and turned his back on her."What else?" Yael asked, holding the fishing rod as if to state the obvious.Kate rushed after him, clutching his arms. "You should have told me earlier!" Kate kept grinning.Yael frowned. "I've been asking you…""Yeah! But you didn't inform me right away!""So, it's my fault now?""Well… Of course!"Yael shrugged his arms and walked fast, leaving Kate behind.Why is he sulking?"Hey! Don't leave me here! I'm coming with you!" Kate dashed after him, grabbing his arms once more. "May I join you?" she inquired sweetly."...""I'm coming with you!""...""I'll accompany you!""...""

I have to… Kate felt her weight getting heavier as she walked toward the rescue boat that had been waiting for her.  You must do what is right. She talked to herself as she sighed heavily. She didn’t know what to do. Not really, she actually knew. She needed to fix the mess she created and must be responsible for the consequences of her actions. She just didn’t know where to start and the deep gaze she felt from behind didn't help her to decide at all. It seemed to pierce through her like a thousand sharp needles, reminding her of the happy events that had unfolded on the island that she was about to leave behind, for an unknown exact reason, she was about to know.  She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. With each step she took, the sa
