Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes
Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl
No, you don't know me well
And every little thing only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through
Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl
Baby, you know that dreams there for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl
I really think that we could make it, girl
Lynn was watching Carlo singing the song while playing his guitar. He was gone a while ago for a few hours, she was getting worried that he left her all alone in the rest house. She was not sure if she can get back to the city on her own. Then, he called her and asked her to go to the beach. She went out and was surprised to see a path sorrounded by lights, then it led to the beach, where she found Carlo sitting at a picnic cloth, also sorrounded by lights, and red roses.
He stood up and led her to sat down in the middle of the flowers and lights. Then he started playing the guitar and singing the song.
Lynn has seen this in the internet, even in dramas. But him doing it feels surreal. What a dangerous situation to be in, what a dangerous man he is. Her heart that has always searched for simplicity, was now beating fast than usual, watching him all charming was causing a whirlpool inside her.
After the song, Carlo took out a red box, and give it to Lynn.
"Open it." Carlo smiled.
Lynn opened it hesitantly. It was a beautiful handcuff necklace. Carlo took it out and put it on Lynn.
"Lovely!"Carlo's eyes were beaming. "Now you are handcuffed by me for life."
"What are you saying? Are you crazy." Lynn is loosing it with his words, what is she? His prisoner.
Carlo showed her his necklace. Apparently it was a pair. "Now you have me as prisoner for life as well."
Carlo kissed her. He took his time and enjoyed the moment.
Lynn felt shy, but she let Carlo have his way. And besides it was her first kisses, she was enjoying it as well. When he finally let go, he hugged her and whispered "I love you!".
Lynn was taken aback. What is love? How did he find out that he loves her. How sure was he?
Lynn tried to get free from his hug. "Are you sure?"
Carlo held her hands and kiss it. "I'm sure." He smiled and rub her cheeks with his thumb. "How about you, do you love me?"
"I don't know." She said honestly.
Carlo hugged her again. "It's okay, I'll make you love me. But make sure that you will only have feelings for me and that I will be your only man."
"I'm not sure." Lynn said seriously.
"What!" Carlo tickled her.
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding." Lynn laugh.
"Naughty girl." Carlo lay down and brought Lynn with her.
"Wow, the stars are amazing." Lynn exclaimed.
Carlo looked at the sky. "Yeah they are."
Lynn smiled while admiring the stars, the sound of waves and the handsome guy laying beside her. Life seems perfect.
"What are you thinking?" Carlo asked.
"Nothing, just wondering how small we are in this vast universe." Lynn said.
"Yeah, vast world indeed, but I happen to cross path with you, and now we are walking together going in the same direction." Carlo lamented.
"And what direction is it?" Lynn wondered.
"Hmm, getting married, having kids, growing old together, then dying together." Carlo said.
What a scary guy, Lynn thought. Marriage, kids, growing old and dying together, she was not even sure about her feelings yet.
"Are you watching too much drama?" Lynn teases.
Carlo sat down. "What? You're insulting my feelings, I've really thought of that answer for a long time."
Lynn also sat down. "Really? For how long?"
"For like a minute!" Carlo laugh. Then rolled Lynn under him.
"I mean it, I want my future to have you forever." Then he kiss her again.
Lynn closed her eyes and let Carlo kissed her with all his might. He seems to be pouring his sincerity in the kiss.
Lynn snapped her eyes open. Something was fanning her face. She was surprised to see Carlo asleep beside her again, he was facing her. His one arms embracing her. How did he get in? She remembered locking her door last night.
He was peacefully asleep, she felt guilty waking him up like last time. They slept pretty late last night after spending time watching the stars. She decided to let him be. She tried sleeping again but failed. So she decided to go to the kitchen. It's 6 AM, she opened the fridge and find something to cook. She opted to cook fried rice, bacon, eggs and hotdogs. She was not sure if Carlo was a rice person, so she toasted some breads and put butter in it. She also made coffee. It was almost 7:30 when she finished making breakfast. Carlo was still asleep. She decided to drink coffee while waiting for him to wake up. The pool seems to be inviting her. She decided to try it out. She changes into her modest one piece blue swim suit. She put a short over it, in case Carlo wakes up. She'll be too shy to display her figure, she was not confident with her body.
She was a good swimmer and she enjoyed the pool, it wasn't that deep. She was doing her third laps when something pulled her under, then kissed her.
After a minute, he brought them up the water. "Are you trying to kill us? Lynn complained while catching her breath.
Carlo hugged her waist, then embed his body to hers. "Good morning to you too." Carlo said in a husky voice.
He woke up without her in the bed. When he went out, he found her swimming back and forth in the pool, wearing a sexy swimsuit. Yes, he finds her sexy, the swimsuit seems to be modest compare to what other women wears, but it was worn by Lynn, that made the big difference.
And now he is hugging her, and can feel all her softness. She was causing a volcanic eruption within him.
"Carlo are you trying to strangle me. I can't breath you know." Lynn complained.
Carlo let go of her. "Sorry."
"I'm hungry let's have breakfast." Carlo helped Lynn up from the pool. He took a towel and helped her to get dry.
"I'll do it." Lynn protested trying to take the towel from him.
"Shhh, I'm enjoying myself." Carlo teased.
Lynn wrinkled her nose in annoyance.
"That's enough!", she said.
"Alright, let's go." He wrapped her with a dry towel. Then took another towel to dry himself.
"Hmm looks yummy!" Carlo was surprised to see the breakfast ready. He started scooping the fried rice, and started eating. He was delighted on how good it tasted. "This is the best fried rice I've ever tasted."
"You're exagerating, it's just fried rice." Lynn felt shy by his compliments.
"And this is the best bacon and eggs I've tasted" He praised , then he continued, "and best toast and coffee."
"Don't forget the hotdog." Lynn jokingly said.
"Ofcourse, how can you make hotdogs tastes even better than usual."
"Now you're lying.", Lynn laugh.
"Nope, I'm dead serious." Carlo was impressed, he didn't knew that she can cook well. Really well or was he just really in love with her that everything she does seems good to him.
After breakfast, Carlo invited Lynn to go scuba diving. He is a certified scuba diver, and it is one of his passion. He usually scuba dive with Tin and Jeff. And he really wanted to share the passion with Lynn.
Lynn got excited, she had always wanted to go scuba diving but can't afford it.
Carlo hired an instructor for Lynn for safety. Lynn was given instructions on how to use the equipment and what are the do's and don'ts. Afterwards they made their jump underwater. Lynn was astonished on the beauty she witnessed under water. It's like another world that was unlike others. It was mysterious, breath taking, and beautiful. She loved it. And she was thankful for the experience. The instructor, took a photo of the couple as a remembrance.
Lynn appreciated the experience more than Carlo thought. Their boat was on the way to the shore, she was watching Carlo talking to the boat driver. This guy was extremely dangerous to her heart condition. He is very handsome, well built, rich, a good guy, and he seems to be in love with her. He is everything that she wants for a dream guy, a man she sees in dreams when she sleeps, but not really the type she expecrs in real life.
Man, she is in deep danger of falling head over heels for him. This is not good at all.
