Chương 5: Chapter 5

They close the doors of the car and gaze at the steep slope that they have to climb. Violet drew a big smile and shift her gaze to Utah, who was busy admiring her instead of the landscape around them.

"This place is green," He says something to break off the eye contact gaze they were in.

"Ah yeah, wait till we are on top" She lifts her hand and places it above her eyes to protect her eyes from the sun which was shining on them. She takes a deep breath and admires the journey they are about to take. She takes the first steps to lead their way to the hilltop.

He follows her quietly with his eyes wandering around the little bushy hill. The only sounds audible it was birds chirping and the heavy breaths that Violet was making. They arrive at the hilltop. Violet place her hands on her waistline and take deep breaths trying to recover from the strenuous walk.

"Man, that was one hell of a walk" She exclaims still gasping for air.

"Yes, it was quite refreshing. A scenery change. I see why you like it" He walks past her and stand a little further. His eyes could see their car stuck down there and the little houses in Further distance of the bushes.

"This place is amazing, I love the view. But... there are way better places than this one around here" She walks towards and stands close to him.

"Really? I would love to see them" He exclaims excitedly

"I guess this is the first to many trips" She gazes at the space.

While standing and admiring the landscape, the only thing his heart was yearning for was holding her hand and tugging her body next to his, or holding her against his body so she can feel his warmth and have a taste of her beautiful and sexy full lips. His mouth drool at the thought of their lips smashing against each other and clicking in passion. Uh...this feeling is torture but exciting.

"You are really admiring the landscape "

"Why You think so?" He asks in a baffled tone.

"You are so quiet..." Her voice sounded so distant with a taint of sadness.

He turned his head to take a close look at her. He sensed feelings of sadness in her words. He is sensing that she's becoming emotional like this place holds a very special moment for her or reminds her of somebody.

"What are you thinking about? You look so far away?" His soft gaze is still immersed on her face.

"Uhm...I usually come here to refresh my mind" Her gaze is still distant.

"Then why do you feel this way?" He asked in a mellow voice.

"Because I always wished to bring someone special to me here. Just gaze at nothingness, space, with someone. I wondered how it would feel? But now I am living that moment I have imagined for years. It feels good" She gasps for air and her lips tore a smile.

"So you not sad?" He shifts his gaze from her and gazes at the vast space.

"Yes"

"You are happy"

"I am...I feel at ease, serene. I don't know if that's the proper word for the description" She mumbles the words out.

"I understand. I am glad you are not sad" His face was sombre and expressionless. He releases a sigh. "I think we should go" He places his hands on his pockets and held his posture confidently.

"Already? Come one..." She glances at him baffled. "Why are we leaving so soon? ".

" Because we have to get you a dress" He turns and take few steps gently paying attention to Violet's movements. Violet just stood there stubbornly without flinching. He stops walking... "Or else if you want to meet my family in your tight jeans and that floral blouse" He snorts and he starts walking again without looking back.

How rude of him! Violet scoffs. She surveys her body, her jeans were indeed tight and revealing her pear shape body. She moves her hands lining the shape of her body. Is it too revealing? She glances at her floral blouse which was unbuttoned revealing her gorgeous breasts. I am one of hell sexy and beautiful lady, she thinks to herself. But she can't say no to a free dress. She turns and notices that his disappearing image is halfway down the hill.

"Ugh!" She sneers. She takes a deep breath and starts running her way down the hill.

"Whoever gets to the car first gets their wish granted" She runs past him leaving him baffled.

"What wish?" He is baffled as he feels a huge wave of air passes him.

"Mine, you are taking me to the ice cream shop after shopping" She shouts from the bottom of her stomach while gasping for air.

He takes a deep breath and rolls his eyes with a smirk on his face. He glances at her as she is nearly by the car. From excitement to disappointment makes him feel excited. Her disappointed facial expression is the best.

When she touches the trunk of the car and lifts her eyes, he was already lazily resting his butt on the car trunk. She felt her world spin and everything was slowly becoming blurry. How did he get here? Her knees become weak. She felt his warm hands hold her body in balance.

She lifts her gaze and met his soft soothing gaze. His lips were closed but his eyes said a lot of unsaid sweet things to her. She leaned into his face. Is this real?

He froze in a trance as he watches her face close in on him. What is wrong with her? He saw her losing balance and he tried to be a gentleman and hold before she landed on the ground. He pulls her body so that their bodies are upright. Their bodies landed against each other. With his right arm around her waist, her arms were hung on his broad shoulders to find her stability. Their lips had landed on each other leaving a brushing sensation that leads them into an uncomfortable trance.

She tries to pull her body away, but she loses her steps. He pulls her back in and holds both of her upper arms firmly.

"Relax" He whispers.

She takes a deep breath.

"How did you get here? I saw you- walking there, and, and now, why are you here before me?" Her face looks frightened.

He releases a smug face. "I will tell you tonight..."

"Tell me now" she demands

"What do you think?" He asks playfully.

"Superficial beings don't exist" She argues with a startled face.

" I am just super fast" He let out a satisfied sigh. He lets her go as he realises she's back to her normal self. He leads the way to the driver's door. She goes the other way to her door.

She throws her body on the seat and sits grumpily.

"Let it go!" He chuckles. What did he do? He should have not done that, he got caught up in the hype. Damn him!

"You know, I have noticed how weird you can get when I am around you. I thought it was...but I was wrong. You...I don't know yet, what you are" She accuses him and glances at him suspiciously. Not knowing the truth about him makes her feel unease.

"You thought what? Stop thinking about every little thing a lot. Things will unravel as time passes" He brushes her shoulder and gaze deeply into her dark brown eyes like he was trying to pierce her soul. When she was about to get lost in his deep beautiful, mesmerising eyes, he jerks his head and adjusts his body. He could sense another uncomfortable moment occurring. Their early kiss was enough for the day, it evoked the still dead waters inside him. He tried to play the cool and calm guy, but his heart was beating above his normal heartbeat. Their posture allowed him to take advantage and explore this burning desire between them. But he is a gentleman and he doesn't want to be in a commitment, with that in mind, he has to try his ultimate best to keep his hands to himself and do not lead this beautiful and amazing lady next to him. He drives away from their parking spot.

She wakes up from her daydreaming. She saw them kissing passionately and his hands were holding so tight on her. Their torsos were so close to each other, they had become one. Damn you, Violet! She shifts her gaze from him and looks at the road as the car drive on the unsteady gravel road.

Her mind slipped back to the moment at the hill when she ran past him and find him sitting in the car. It doesn't make sense how he could have been there before she arrived. She saw him walking while she ran past him. There's no way, she would let this go. It is time to wear the alter ego of Detective Santiago. Who are you Utah?
