Dimensions

[ Benedict POV ]

I'm preparing our food and I'm thinking about where to place it, we forgot to bring a picnic mattress. So I decided to just place it in the hood of the car then. Everything is in place so I went to call Layla to eat first, were so late for lunchtime already. While getting near her, I notice she is not aware of my presence and a naughty thought kicks in, so I take out my phone and set it up for taking photos, I take snapshots of all sides of her. I'm not satisfied with the view of my shots where I only get her side view since she is currently standing on the shore where half of her toes are reached by the water. I can't go in the front view because I'm wearing pants it will get wet, so I decided to call her out and then ready my fingers to take a snapshot the moment she turns around. And the work of art has been made, I got what I want. But she realized what I'm doing and tried to snatch the phone from me, I quickly raise my hands. Her expression looks like a child whom you took something from it.

"that's so unfair..! Said her while her hands is on her waist, throwing child-like tantrums at me. It made me laugh more, she look so cute doing that.

Then suddenly she drop her hands and jump while her hands pulled down my shoulders, that was a good trick because she almost got the phone so I quickly moved my hands, I hide the phone behind my back. But I did not anticipate her cleverness, she successfully took the phone from me with a smug in her face. She scroll the phone and look over through my photos, now I regret that I did not set up a password on my screen. I saw she found the photos and started to check the delete options, I tried to get close to her to snatch back my phone, afraid that she will erase what I took from her, it was so epic because it was hard to take some photos of her. She is not the type who use to take a selfy of themselves appreciating their beauty which is, without a doubt, she's more deserving to display her appearance on social media. So I did expect her reaction because I had never seen her taking pictures of herself how much more taken by someone without her permission and I think I'm not an exception. She started running when I approach her way thinking she could get away but since my steps are bigger than her, I catch her without delay. She hid the phone behind her back and struggle to get off in my grip, with her movements she successfully free herself from me but unfortunately she did not keep her balance intact so she swayed down to the ground, I attempt to hold her hands which I didn't expect she will pull my hands instead, we both fell and knowing she will hit in the ground I automatically put my hands at the back of her head, to prevent her head to be hurt from the impact. We found ourselves lying on the ground while I'm on top of her, she was laughing hard and it was so contagious made me laugh with her. But due to our current position, I got a closer look on her face. She looks so lovely when her hair is spread out in the sand, and in her eyes, I can see the reflection of the sky which gives more clarification of the details of her hazel eyes.

I was so into watching her that I am no longer aware she also stop laughing. We both stop moving just watching each other. I even forgot that my position is giving her a hard time breathing properly.

"I can't breathe.." she voices out.

I moved to get up quickly and offered her my hands which she gladly reach and we both stand up. I shake off the sand that was stuck in my pants. I notice she's struggling to shake off the sand in her back so I help her out. I shake it all off then I notice the phone still lying on the ground, it might had fall when she stand up. I pick it up and check the photos. She came near me and see what I'm doing, her eyes get wider again and demanded me to delete it, she even tried to snatch it from me again when I did not follow what she said. Seeing she will not stop until she could wipe out those photos I agreed with a condition. I voice it out to her and wait for her response, she looks at me with her eyes narrowed, might be guessing what condition it might be then she gives up and ask me what is it.

"live one picture for me... just one picture please.." I said acting cute which I know she can't resist!

"Fine..! " she finally agreed.

So I delete all the photos and keep the one I love the most and showed it to her, I know she will check it over in my files before she handed me back my phone. But to be honest I secretly back up the photos before I delete it, hehe! naughty me but I can't just let my effort be in vain. It's not as if we can always bring back time so having pictures will always bring back the memories. With happy thoughts, I put my hands around her shoulder and act like a girl beauty, but instead, I appeared like a gay where I successfully earned her smile but she slightly shake her head.

I tagged her along towards the food where I was supposed to do in the first place because it was already past three o'clock, and it was quite late to eat lunch. We took four hours ride from the city to get here including the traffic. I held her to sit down at the top of the hood beside the food then I sit on the other side. I pick up the baked mac which I know is her favorite and I learned to like als and hand it over to her. She smiled sweetly after praising me. I pick up my food from what she packed but she handed me back half of the baked mac, that's what I like in her the most, her selfless gesture that she usually makes a habit around me whenever she could. We both enjoyed the food. I don't know if, it's because we're hungry or if the scenery added savor to our foods that bring a booster in our appetites. We finally devoured all our food and make our stomach satisfied. She slides down and starts cleaning the empty containers and stocking it stocks them in the basket. She bring it back inside the back set, and when she came back she handed me the two cans of beer.

"let's go sit over there.." I suggest and pointed to the dry part of the sand.

We sit close to each other, just the can's of beer putting space in our bodies. We were both satisfied with the sound of the waves and from time to time we hear the sounds of some birds passing by, some hunting for food. So to add to the amorous ambiance, I play music on my phone. When I drink off my two can I lay down with my both hands at the back of my head. Feeling the mood I sing along when the next song tunes in "Make it with you" While singing out the lyrics I turn my head towards Layla who decided to lie down too, her eyes were closed. I change my faction to face her, I saw she smiled when I hit the bridge of the song where I put curls & extra sweet tone in the lyrics and the song ended with fading instrumental. After a while, the next song is no and w airing, and she might be ting I will continue singing but I'm so focused on her that I do not mind the song anymore. She opens her eyes and looked k my way, and that's when she notices me looking at her, she turns her head back facing straight into the sky not saying a single word. I signed and lift my body back to sit and turn to her again.

"I think I'm good.. let's go..?" I attempt to break the awkward silence.

"Are you sure..?" she mentioned before holding my hands to help her stand up.

"Yap! I think ..hehe, it's getting dark we better start going. " I reason out.

I started to walk but I slow down my pace for her to keep up, then suddenly she pulled my right shoulder stopping me, so I turned my head towards her. Did not expect what she will do next, and my body goes on with her plan, she pull down my collar and she tiptoe to get closer to my face then I heard her sniffing. I almost got a heart attack with her sudden gesture that I did not anticipate. My heart beating wild that I could even its rhythm, then she finally moved back and released my collar and fixed it back in place. It's still not registering in me what just happened so I freeze even though taps taps me to stand straight already. Then I finally hear her calling out my name while she was waving her hands in front of my face, with a feeling of embarrassment I fix my posture and started walking fast towards the car and since I'llpasts on the passenger side, I open it first for her then turn to the driver side to hop in. I buckled my seatbelt and then wait for her to finish hers before I started the engine. I drive silently still thinking of that moment. I can't move on cause I think the other way, I expect a 'kiss' than a 'sniff' and the thing I wonder is we even expect a kiss. Since when did I start seeing her pass? onately? When I turn to glance at her way she already sleeping, I signed, at least I now have a reason not to open a topic. I silently drove back to the city, but my mind is in chaos it's getting harder now to be immune to her charm, a simple touch of her can make his nerves unstable.

We arrive home around seven o'clock, I park the car in the parking area in the building. I already unbuckle my seatbelt and get off in the driver's area. When I saw Layla still not decided to open the door in the passenger seat, b, use the wall,l, she was not moving. She is usually a deep sleeper but today she might be tired which makes it worse. So I just unbuckle her seatbelt for her and I lifted her out of the car and close it with my back then press the lock button in the car will just gather later our things.

I had to carry her to the condo and still, she's sleeping, good thing the door lock can be opened by fingerprint to unlock it. I carried her to her room and slowly put her down in her bed. I removed her sandals and slip her inside her blanket. I feel envious of how deep a sleeper she is, that she could even sleep whatever her position is, and wh just a little noise can make me awake in no time. I turn on the AC and am about to move away when she moves sideways and she almost falls. So I take the blanket off of her and lift her again to move in the center to be sure she will not fall when she moves sideways. I don't know what she was dreaming when I removed my hands from her back, she moved towards me and slam her hand around my neck which cause me to pull down in bed with her. Our faces were so close that I can feel and smell her breath, the moment while ono on the beach, a flashback in my mind again. And this time it's not only my heart beating so fast, but also there's an urge feeling when my eyes focus on her lips tempting me.

Hugs and kisses on the cheeks are already normal to them since she's a sweet type especially when she's asking for a favor and you grant it, you will certainly earn her sweet gestures.

Before he could think further his body do the in and initiative, and his head lowered down to his lips to touch hers. A single lip kiss would have been enough for him but suddenly she open her mouth which gives him more room to explore, his hands were under her back pulling her closer for a hug, and his other hand that seems limited mind holding her neck, to support her head. My kiss got more access can't get enough of the softness, she even responds to my rhythm that giving me sensation and my arousal is getting awake by her sweet ****, I almost thought she is already awake and by that realization, with my whole,e strength, I pulled my self up and slowly remove her hands in my neck and pulled out my hand underneath her. I almost give in all my control, I put a blanket on top of her and check if she still sleeping or had been awake for my outburst intrusion. When I confirmed she still sleeping, I hurried to go out of her room and go into mine I go straight to the shower to wear off my arousal that almost lost control. I put on a white shirt and trousers and slip in my sneakers, I need a drink. I don't know how to face her when she wakes up, so many 'what if' running through my mind. I went out and take a taxi to a bar.
