Chapter 12

It was a strange walk up the hill with cayos silence.

" Hey, why are you suddenly silent, it's making me feel awkward" I asked honestly.

" Nothing, I just said something that I shouldn't have said, so it's getting a little bit embarrassing for me" he said honestly.

" Hey common, you are making me uncomfortable, really, let's change topics, tell me more about your Nona Rosa and your life here" I asked.

" Oh that, it's been years now, but my memories here are as fresh as yesterdays memory" cayo said with a smile gracing his lips as he recounted all his childhood memories to me, and I couldn't help laughing.

He might look nonchalant and quiet, but there is a mischievous side to him, and an even funnier side of him, and now am witnessing it and loving all bits of his characters.

Soon the sky started to darken and the wind became stronger, it's going to rain, yaeeey, I squealed in excitement in my head.

" Hey let's hurry up and reach the house before it's starts pouring, otherwise it would get hard to continue moving" cayo said pulling me.

Okay cayo, for now I would let you pull me, but once it starts pouring, nothing would stop me from enjoying myself in the rain and dancing.

We were very close to the house so we soon arrived. It was a small one bedroom hut, with a tiny bed by the edge of the room. But the house was very dusty and dirty. Thankfully they were brooms in the room so we got on cleaning.

Soon the wind became even more intense and it started drizzling.

I allowed the rain to get a little stronger before I ran out of the little shelter into the rain. The feel of the raindrops on my skin was a magical moment, it felt truly amazing.

I didn't care about anyone or anything, I mean there is typically no one around except for cayo, and I don't mind him seeing me dancing in the rain.

I was busy dancing in the rain for a long time, but cayo neither said a word nor came out, strange, he also loves rainfall as much as I do, right?.

I looked towards the house and there I saw cayo sitting on the ground by the door of the house with pencil in his hand, he seemed to be drawing, drawing me!.

I moved forward towards him to get a better view, and he was indeed drawing.

" What are you doing now cayo" I asked him, even thou I can see.

" Am drawing, my masterpiece, I did tell you that I have a feeling that today i would draw my masterpiece, did I not," he replied looking into my eyes, before he shaded something again in the book.

" If you don't mind, please do me a favor and continue dancing in the rain, it's an ethereal sight, and I want to draw ever moment of it" he said looking at me.

" Okay, since you insist, it would be my pleasure to he drawn by you, that to as a masterpiece" I said flirtingly and he just smiled at me.

I continued dancing, ofcourse closer to him, so that he could draw me.

About 10 more mins, I saw him go back in, so he is done isn't he?.

But he surprised me by coming out into the rain and joining me. As the rain wet his hair, and ran down his chin to his body, he looked like a walking Greek lord and he looks absolutely charming, my breath hitched for a minute there.

But he was bent on surprising me more by pulling my waist and drawing me into a dance.

" cayo, what, what, what are you doing?" I asked with a hitched breath as he pulled me into his arms.

" Why, it's just a dance, do you mind?" He asked in such a magnetic voice that it completely took my soul away from my body.

" No, I don't, not a bit" I replied with a smile, why would I mind, dancing with someone I love.

We slowed dance in the rain, and I swear, my heart and soul had never felt this peaceful and at ease before.

" I want to tell you something Luna, I hope you would lend me a listening ear, and whatever I say, weather you agree with me or not, I hope it won't affect our relationship" he said. And I think I can sense what's coming.

" Am all ears cayo, and I promise you, even if you asked me to commit suicide, then it won't affect our friendship, thats how much I trust you" I replied from the bottom of my heart.

" Luna, I love you, from the depth of my soul, from the first day I laid my eyes on you, my heart was stolen from my body. I didn't want to act on my feelings, I wanted to get to know you first, and see how compatible we are, and weather or not you have someone in your life. And when I started spending time with you, and getting to know you, I realized just how special you are, and how sweet and pure hearted you are as a human, and now, I know more than anything that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I want to be with you forever, only if you let me ofcourse. And if you don't feel the same way about me, I really hope you would let me be your friend, forever" he said and my heart melted.

" And what if I told you I feel the same cayo. What if I told you that the feelings are mutual, what if I told you that my heart was also stolen from my body the first time I met you. At first I was running away from the feelings l, but now I know no matter how much I runaway, I would only fall harder for you and I would not be able to to to stay away from you or hide my feelings as well, I love you cayo, I also really love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you cayo" I replied cupping his face.

We looked into eachothers eyes, for a while, not saying a word, but our eyes did all the talking, and it talked directly to our souls.

" Do you know what's more cayo, when I first saw you, I fell in love with your eyes first. Someone said loving someone's eyes isn't love but lust or admiration, but do you know what I think? I think falling in love with someone's eyes is because they say, the eyes are the mirrors to the heart, and only a heart knows the language of another heart. I think I fell in love with your eyes because they talked directly to my soul, and conveyed words beyond what my ears could comprehend. I think I fell in love with your eyes, because when they look into my eyes, then our souls recognize eachother and communicate, there is a deeper feeling that's is been conveyed through the eyes and I think that's just what I fell for. Now I love all of you, but I would always love your eyes more, and I want to keep looking at them till the day I breath my last" I said gazing more into his eyes and I could see such a sweet smile on his eyes.

He leaned down and our foreheads touch one another, and right there, nothing else mattered.

A few minutes oassed and our completely drenched bodies started to shiver because the rain had stopped and only wind was blowing.
