Hey, wake up!!! Beauty!!! Beauty!!! Beck called her, as he slapped her cheeks a bit to wake her up, she had fallen from the tree when she saw the tiger and Beck fighting, the sound of fall, had distracted the tiger and Beck was able to stab the eyes of the tiger and he had run away with the injury, Beck, only sustain a scratch on his hand.
Hey, wake up!!! She opens her eyes slowly.
Handsome... She murmured.
Yes, so open your eyes, you are always fainting on me. She hugged Beck as soon as she open her eyes. Hey, you don't want to choke me to death.
Stop being mean. She hit Beck slightly, he smiled and sat, and her eyes look around.
What are you looking for? Beck asked. I saw a tiger, yes, you were fighting with the tiger, didn't you get hurt, where is the tiger? Didn't you...
Just this. Beck said pointing at his bleeding hands, she hurry from him. Where are you going? Beck asked as she hurry to get that same leaf that Beck used earlier on her.
Relax, let me apply it.
What is that? He asked as Alexia applied the liquid from the leaf, he closes his eyes, since the wound is a bit deeper and it's painful.
Sorry, it will stop the bleeding, remember it's the same leaf you applied to my wound.
Oh! Thanks. He said when Alexia stopped.
It's okay, I am happy you are safe. She hugged him again.
With the way, you are hugging me, your boyfriend will think that you are in love with me. Beck said she pushed him from herself.
You are mean, I am just happy that, you are safe, I wouldn't know if I could survive without you. She said pouting.
Don't worry, I am not dying till I bring you back home. Beck said resting on the floor of their shelter.
Do you think, they will find us fast? And the tiger, is it going to come back? She asked as she remembers their experience and her family, they must be worried about her, what if that tiger had killed the man with her? How would she be able to survive without him?
She remembers how difficult it was for dad to agree to that ship marriage, although he is a man, he is softer than her mother. He must be heartbroken, probably crying behind closed doors for her mother not to break down as well. Mom must have had a heart attack, knowing that her only daughter is nowhere to be found.
She can't believe that she is sleeping outside in the cold, she has never been involved in any outdoor activities, like hiking, so this whole thing, is new to her and the possibility that, the tiger might come back, is what is making her more scared.
Even though she had dreamt of doing this with Jessica and Xander, she will pick somewhere safer than this place where they are prone to danger, today is a wide animal, what about tomorrow?
Beck looks at her, he understands her, and this might probably be her first time, sleeping outdoor. To him, this is not the first and not even the second, he had lost count of the number of times, he had slept outside in the open.
Yes, you have nothing to be afraid of, I am sure, they will look for us, and while we wait for them, I promise to try to keep you safe. He notice her glum face when he said to keep her safe. What are you thinking? Did I say anything wrong?
Promise me, you will not put yourself in danger. Beck smiled, his grandfather is the only one that is worried for him, no one, except his grandfather, and now this little thing here. Please, I don't want anything to happen to you, I might not be able to survive knowing that you are in pain.
Don't worry, I have nine life like that of a tiger, so I not dying yet, because I love seeing your beautiful face. Beck jest to make Alexia feel better, she laugh as she facepalms, Beck was enjoying her view, he likes it when she smiled, when she is happy, it makes him happy too.
Handsome!!! Alexia calls him, he looks at him. Don't you think we should go round to see what the place is all about?
Hm! Adventure, so you like adventure? Beck asked, she twitched her mouth and reply him.
Yes, don't you like it, we could tell our family about what we saw here, don't you think so? Alexia said winking at him.
I don't think we should do that, cause we have no idea what the jingle had in stock, knowing that we just encounter one issue, so I will first check tomorrow before bringing you with me.
No! We are partners, so we should go everywhere together, what if something happens to you? Don't you think, it's best that we always stick together, I don't want to just sit here and do nothing, what if the tiger comes back?
She knows that Beck wants to protect her but with what just happened, she is not going to lose sight of him, it's best that they stick together. Alexia move closer to him and grabbed his hand. Please don't leave me behind, I might get caught by that wide cat. She look at him and pouted, Beck smiled inwardly, trying to make him let her go with him.
Fine, I will let you go with me but you are going to follow my rules and regulations.
Yes! Sir! She said cutting for him like a soldier will do to her superior, Beck laughed, and she ran towards the sea.
Where are you going? Beck asked.
To bathe, you should bathe too, it's very hot and that awful ordeal, you should wash the memory away. Come on, we should go up to the valley to bathe, come on. She pulled his hand, right now, they are inside the water, she throw the water at him.
Beauty!!!
Stop calling me, you should enjoy it, you are too serious for my like, you should learn to smile, often, it looks good on you. She throws at him, he too throws the water at her. The water is refreshing.
Don't go far, aren't you scared?
Why should I; when you are here? Alexia said as she throw more of the water into the air and also at Beck. After a few hours in the water, Alexia and Beck come out of the water, it's getting late so Beck asked Alexia to get out of the water, right now, they are sitting close to the fire, to get warm as they roast the fish.
Did you know I saw a merman when I was bathing? Beck looks at her, he is surprised, he was with her but how come he didn't see that? Don't look at me, I saw him.
Hm! How come I didn't see him? Beck asked.
Probably because you are a man...
Really? He asked making up a crooked smile with his lips lopsided.
Come on, he is really handsome and super tall like a god; his shoulder...
Broad, very manly, his hair is very long and his waist is like that of a fish, with his cute tail, that is covered with scale and color is golden, shining brightly...
Did you also see it? Alexia asked as she hugged his hand and rested on his shoulder.
No; I guess that is what you saw and you probably fell in love with him. Alexia hit his shoulder.
Stop teasing me. She said as she lie on his lap, Beck look at her. Did you know dad used to say that I am naughty?
This means he is not going to miss you.
Who told you? She asked as she raised her head and supported her head with her palm. He will, I might be troublesome but I can be lovely at times; even you, are you not going to miss me?
