I can't take the corners of my eyes off the piece of jewelry he bestowed upon me; it's not an ordinary ring because it's made of pearl and magnificently crafted. The ring has my name's initials on top. I never imagined I'd be able to gain insight into a scenario like that. But Raven made it exclusive for me.
"You've been looking at that for a while." We only had one room booked given that he didn't want us to split up since we were a couple. So, when did I ever agree? But, in every instance, it is his decision to make and I have no power over it. Raven takes no for an answer.
"I was just intrigued, because I still hadn't comprehended it until now." My eyes blazed. I've never had such a surprise. His brother would constantly take me to a posh restaurant or to his favorite park. I felt special, but not like this. You understand that he doesn't care what he likes as long as it is mine. "W-why did you love me?”
"That's cringe-worthy to answer, so don't find out." He played with my nose. I pouted, but I still had no escape from my heart beating like this. "Just think that I love you so much; that's the important thing." He grinned, so I couldn't do anything but follow his words.
I never thought Raven and I would be together. I mean, we're totally distinct people. We frequently disagree since we do not share the same outlook on life, but here we are uniting. My heart felt at rest whenever I was around him.
"T-thank you." I wasn't vocal, so I wasn't expressive with my feelings, but Raven taught me how to do it. I used to just smile when someone gave or did a nice thing to me, and they addressed me with an attitude that I didn't pay attention to.
"It's just a small thing," he said, kissing my lips in response. I put my lips together, and we both became happier. Everything's perfect; you know that; everything is aligned in the right position.
We lay next to one other and cuddled that night. I think of joyful memories and push aside negative thoughts since they will just end my day. I'm happy, yet I have the feeling that something is missing, but I haven't given it much thought.
Our routines at that resort are the same as usual: he prepares breakfast because he is always tired in the evening. We bathe at the beach or pool, and then we watch the sunset and the moon reflecting the sea with the stars. That was not dull on my part; it seemed like I had been doing it for years, and I never get tired when I'm with Raven.
Everything about him is valuable. I wasn't surprised that a lot of individuals find themselves drawn to him; he's clever, athletic, talented in a variety of areas, humble, nice, social in business, and dedicated to his job. He's the type of man you'd rather be with than the guys sitting at the bar, whispering and chatting about how much they adore you.
"What's your dream when I'm not part of your life?" I have a serious question. As we waited for the moon to set, we conversed near the ocean's edge.
"You should be part of my life," I pinched his side; he doesn't really know how to hold back his lines whenever we are together.
There was always an ease in my gut whenever he offered me sweet words. It seems to me that we are wed. Although that is too far, but that is what I was hoping for.
"Did I shock you too much?" He scratched his nape and awkwardly smiled. "I mean, you're so beautiful, that's why I'm reaching you. You're my only dream, Cbiara Blair," he said, as if I were a woman he had dreamed of for a long time and would risk everything just for me.
"You are melting my heart,"
"And I'm making you wet too," he sensually said in my ears. That's why I know that he can quickly warm me up and give it to me again. Instead of moon-seeing, we did it in three rounds before we got to sleep.
The next day, we thought of going hiking together, even though we would just go home the next day. I mean, we're here, so why don't we make the most of the day, right?
I simply carried a tiny backpack with my clothes and other girlie stuff because he had previously purchased some items for us to use there and gave them to his staff. But in the end, it was he who grabbed it; he even snatched my aqua flask that I had brought.
He reminded me, "My queen shouldn't bring anything," therefore the only thing I can provide is my beauty. I gave him a kind smile and walked away first.
A privilege of being gorgeous.
I wasn't carrying anything, yet when we got there, I was gathering my breath. Raven appeared to be accustomed to this situation as he remained energetic and showed no signs of fatigue. He's too hot to resist, and the only thing we have in common is his sweat, which I want to wipe and-oh no! Erase it!
"They fixed everything," he said as if he couldn't even breathe because he was thirsty, while I fvcking wanted to drown myself in some cold water. "There's a lot of food I sent in case you are hungry," without much more talk, and I went there, then poured the dishes in front of me.
I suddenly got sick, so I slapped my chest and kept on coughing. He handed me water. It subsided, and I closed my eyes because sometimes I really don't understand why I have to feel it. I mean, I was too, you know, clumsy.
It took me a few minutes to get comfortable enough to arrange the items; I can't just go in and get served. He didn't even object when I finally pushed him to help even though I didn't want to. Thus, we both give each other thumbs up and quicken our pace. He then kissed the back of my hand and my forehead. It irritates me because I can never tell what direction he will go; he is well aware of how quickly he can read me.
Eat, get some sleep, then eat once more. Then watch the sun set that is already fading. It's true that from here, the sunset vista is more expansive and exquisite. It was cool, impressive, and unforgettable—especially when you were with someone you really care about.
"Why can you look at me like that? The sunset is there." He laughed and pointed to where the sunset was, so I looked there too. "Isn't it pretty?"
"Only lucky people watch this kind of scenery with their love," I whispered in the air, "and I'm one of them."
"You were saying something?"
"No, I was just admiring the sunset." I just focused on
because I was distracted by the man's face.
Surrounding us were solar panels that abruptly sprung to life after nightfall. I couldn't help but smile because it seemed like Raven planned everything. She's trying so hard to please me, and I can tell. And I admire how hardworking he is in everything. He's a businessman, after all, and he doesn't really care this way, but here he is. putting in all of his effort, being overly kind, and taking care of me.

I considered telling him that this island would be our home. Nobody knows the true us, so nobody will judge us. We live a long way from the town where my health was severely damaged. A long way from those who turned me into this kind of girl.
However, as reality will pull us into it, we are powerless to avoid it. No matter how we hide, it will find us and we cannot run from it.
I just took in what I had, and I'll just let today's events sink in. I know I will cherish these memories, for that reason. One of the moments that gave me color when I was colorless was this one. I used to run here, to Raven, when I was sad, and find calm. Even though I repeatedly denied it, it's possible that Raven had some influence over my life decisions. It's funny how I didn't care for him at the time, and now I almost feel like I shouldn't let him away in my eyes.
"We're riding in a motorboat?" My eyes sparkled. I thought we could just go home without me experiencing this, so my heart was so happy when Raven offered a ride. "Yes!" I jump and run towards it immediately.
We are aware of our difficult destiny at times in life, yet we are still only human. We erred in judgment. And I realize now that this is all incorrect for me in this situation and that I ought to have left. But why don't I give it everything I've got if my heart is screaming that this is only the once? That's life after all, so if I get hurt, that's it.
I closed my eyes and stepped up to follow Raven's lead. I held on to him, knowing that I could make any decision as long as Axl Raven was with me.
