Chapter 24: Chapter 24

-23-Kisses.

"People will come and go in life. You will remember some by their looks and some by how they made you feel. Riley for him was never a look, She was always a feeling for Christian. A feeling so beautiful, so stronger that he wanted to show his scars, his fears, his mistakes his ugliness, his real side to her."

........

"I love the way your small hand fits in mine. Honey." Christian said watching her.

Riley blushed at that. Seeing his brown orbs full of joy. She tried to break the eye contact, with him again. When he placed a hand on her hair.

"Eh. What are you doing Mindy?"

"You have something in your hair, umm I am going to take it out."

"What is it?"

Riley raised her hand to check what was on her hair. But, he held her hand. Bringing it down to her lap.

"It's a flower. Let me help you."

Controlling her heartbeat Riley managed to nod and started watching what was going on around them. The area around them was a shade brighter in the rain. A few children were playing around laughing heartily. A few parents were sitting on the benches talking among them. And some we're just strolling around. Seeing no one around them was minding their business. She sighed in relief.

Taking the white flower out of her hair, Christian smiled. Riley tried to move her head away from him when he spoke again.

"Wait. Honey don't pull away... Not yet."

Riley was confused at his behavior, What was he doing. Wasn't it just a flower? Why should she wait?

His smile got wider and he placed the little white flower near her ear.

"You look cute with it."

Her face heated up more than it already was.

"Thank you." She managed to murmur despite her flustered state. Her heart was beating like a drum.

"Let's take a selfie, Honey."

"Okay."

Taking out the small phone that he had specifically designed for himself. So that people most important his wife; Riley assume of it as a cheap phone.

Placing a hand on her shoulder, and embracing her happily he smiled and placed a tiny kiss on her cheek, and clicked on the phone. It wasn't just a picture it was a boomerang.

Riley was surprised, so she tried to move out of his grasp but he didn't let her do that, tightening his hold upon her and placing another kiss on her forehead.

Riley glanced around them, some people were looking in their direction and laughing heartily. She even heard some people's voices. "Aww. How cute."

"Mindy. Stop it. People are watching."

"Let them Watch honey. We are married."

"Oh Mindy, please."

Content with how his boomerang was made. He took his hand back and sat aside. Pouting slightly.

The first boomerang was Of the kiss and how surprised Riley was Her eyes widened. And the second one was of the way she moved her head. The way Her black shiny hair swayed was funny yet beautiful. But The third one was his favorite. It was of the kiss on the forehead. It was quite unrealistic. A small petal of the flower that he had placed on her ear, had fallen just as he had kissed her. Her eyes closed and her beautiful high cheekbones red. She looked magical. They looked magical. Like they were made for each other. He smiled at the thought.

Taking a few pictures of her, When she was checking out if people were still staring at them or not. He placed the phone inside his pocket.

He was so happy at the moment. Just watching her with him thinking about the future they can have.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Riley questioned him seeing him looking at her, in a daze.

"You are blushing. Are you feeling Shy Honey?"

"Eh. I!"

"It's okay honey. We are a husband and wife. You don't have to be so shy with me."

"Come here. Honey. It's getting colder. Let's share my coat."

Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip hard, finding it hard to resist his offer. She was wearing a knitted sweater dress and The air around them was a bit chilly. So she was feeling a little cold.

Grabbing all her wits and knowing it might escalate their relationship to a new level. Slowly she turned towards his side as casual as the stars stay to the side of the moon. Tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.

Christian forwarded his arm removing the coat from his shoulder and placing her in that shoulder frame. He waited for her to adjust to the size of the coat. When she was done, he placed his hand on her shoulder bringing her to his side almost as close as his face.

His eyes gauging over her emotions, waiting for her to stop him. While making her skin tingle with nervousness.

When she didn't stop him, He placed his face in the crook of her neck inhaling deeply. Gazing at her with such intensity that her insides trembled in anticipation.

Riley's throat went dry, her mind blazing with desire.

"What...?"

Inching her face away from him, she tried to look anywhere but him.

"What are you doing Mindy?" She asked as he started showering peppery wet kisses on her neck.

"Loving you."

"Eh. What?"

"Kissing is a form of showing love, Honey. Isn't it?"

"But you should first take the person's permission before kissing someone, Mindy."

"Can I kiss you, Honey?"

Riley was dumbstruck at his words. She as dazed she was jerked her head upward, while Christian took it as a symbol of acceptance.

Sitting up at a very fast speed, he moved in closer. She felt his breath burn her face. The brown dots of his eyeballs were filled with desire. He licked his lips. Briefly, she glanced at his lips gulping inwardly before moving to look at his beautiful eyes.

He placed one small kiss on her lips and then left her for a few seconds.

Staring at her enchanting black eyes, Christian grinned and ran his thumb over her lips. Removing his thumb, he leaned forward again pressing his Chapped lips to her lips. Throwing his arm around her waist he pressed her curves to his body.
