Chapter - 5

Zak drove the car under the bright light of the shining sun that rippled through the cloud, it was a beautiful day yet the mood of her had been in the dull nightery of the roads. 

"How far is it now?" Her words flew out with a cry hidden beneath. 

"Don't worry, we're almost there," Her eyes dusk down and when she opened them, the ocean welcomed her, and the waves waddled with the wind. It was so gorgeous that not even her bad mood could blemish her eyes to enjoy this lovely view. 

"It's gorgeous," she said with an amiable tone then rushed to let her fingers feel the wave that was dancing under the breeze. Zak sat down and took his rough hands off his pocket and crossed them on his lap. The wind was drowsy and some of the Bess rushed through the breeze and some saunted the trees. She walked to Zak and sat down. Soon they covered the serenity of the ocean but the wind was invariably shifting to being haughty and impudent, yet they were relaxed in a way which was improbable if you asked them a week ago. She pointed to the celestial, to a cloud that looked like a weak deer, Zak laughed as he looked at it, for him, one of the clouds was a powerful lion. She placed her head on his shoulders. There were no lousy voices and no loud music that her neighbor used to disperse the music all over the apartment. She was in shock at how immeasurably attractive and calm the place was,  there were no substances to delicate the odor of plebian foods. Slowly the sun started to dusk down, Zak rose and stood still against her. 

"What're you doing?" 

"I'm just going to grab my camera," He obliged himself to the camera as he walked to his car, the light was still all right to capture the nice scene in his camera. 

"Woah, this looks cool, but I'm not sure whether it's gonna be in the magazine as well," 

"Here, lemme see," she rose and took the camera. She looked at the pictures, it was gorgeous yet the sense of emptiness was there, in her eyes, she never thought of Zak as a good photographer and in her mind whenever she saw one of his pics even including her, the feeling of emptiness always was there, sometimes hidden somewhere and if you could try to find it then you can. She handed the camera to him with the trifling thought on her mind. 

"It feels empty," Zak looked at her then sat down, the running adrenaline in his thoughts had died and he felt the urge of giving up, yet he knew the importance of photography for him. 

"What's the problem with the photo?" He asked. 

"It feels empty once again," Zak felt her words have the heavy pecuniary. He looked at her, head to toe and the ascertain waddled onto him. 

"Hey, I want to click your photo with this view."

Lucas lingered in the forest but this time with Zak, he was there to guide his thoughts in a good way. Lately, his mind had been discordant with him which made him debilitate to feel bad. 

"What're you doing here?" Asked Lucas. 

"Well I was here just to clear my thoughts but I guess I got a partner here," he walked to Lucas and gave a smile to him.

"Shall we?" Lucas nodded and fell into a wretched state of his nerves. The leaves fluttered in a querulous manner, he was lamentable for the forest. 

"It's so gorgeous, don't you think mate?" Lucas said nothing and felt himself effeminately small. They walked and for Lucas, it seemed like the happiness of the forest scant with their every step, his face was soft to look at and his brows were up, tensed. 

"Why are you so silent right now?" Then with his words flying, it came with the refinement of serenity. Lucas kept his feet alive and didn't move his lips. 

"Oh now don't be silent, remember what you said that day on the roof?" Then the whim of Zak's reaction struck his eyes, it was scary, he was the big guy that could easily beat Lucas and he'd known about that. 

"You know what I'm gonna do?" Said Zak. Lucas leered his eyes at him, then took a deep breath, and talked to propriety, it was his Gramps's words. 

"Listen, Lucas, don't you ever let anyone walk over you, you understand me?!" Lucas opened his eyes and then surveyed Zak. 

"Are you lost?" 

"No," 

"Then keep walking," They both walked together, then Zak sat down, the wind rummaged again but this time, For Lucas, he felt the wind was for Zak, it was his territory, the small area of forest where he took him. 

"Sit down," Lucas obliged. 

"Listen, mate, I don't know who you are and what's your deal is with her but I want you to stay away from her, she's mine, I don't wanna hurt you, you understand I'm not gonna do anything to you if you understand," Lucas nodded then shifted his gaze to Zak, he stared at Zak as he rose. 

"Believe me, if you went anywhere close to her again then I'm gonna kill you!" Lucas stared at him as he start to leave him alone with the forest again, but for Lucas, it was a kick in his pride, he rose and picked up a stone and rushed towards Zak. 

The light flashed from the camera and Zak captured her in his view. Her long gorgeous leg did perfectly matched with the breeze that surpassed them. He'd clicked various pics of her but still, he felt somewhat missing in those pics. 

"It still feels not right," 

"I don't know, it seems fine to me," Zak knew the satisfaction when he saw the picture that inspired him to be the photographer, but in his pictures, it was missing from the start. 

"Can you do one more thing?" Asked Zak. 

"What is it?" 

"Can you strip for me?"
