Chapter 53

Tip. Tap. Tip. Tap.

The rain poured out continously as Alex watched it from inside the worn down cabin. Droplets of rain had kept pouring from the broken roof, slowly filling the floor with puddles.

Robbie, on the other hand, had been frantically dialing the buttons of his phone but the signal kept dwindling. Whenever he was able to reach someone on the other side, it would be cut off and worry started to enveloped him.

It had been two hours since the rain started to pour. They were not expecting it and had been enjoying a wonderful time together as they hiked up to the small hill and discovered the little worn down cabin when suddenly it rained.

Their clothes had already dried up from all the splashing in the stream, but now they were more worried that the water from the roof would fill the whole place.

"This is all your fault," Alex said, annoyed. "If you just stick to the trail, we would not have gone here. Look now!"

She pointed to the rain from outside the window in frustration as Robbie glared at her.

"Alex, this is not the time to blame me. We need to find a way to come back to the campsite."

"You know there was no signal from up here," she sighed. "So much for being too adventurous."

Robbie chuckled and shook his head. He pocketed his phone and walked over to Alex.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Ever since they found the cabin, he saw how nervous she was. He could feel her body tensed as he approached her.

"There's nothing wrong, Robbie. I'm worried about Sasha," she replied, trying not to look him in the eye.

"She'll be fine. There is something you're not telling me," he said as he moved closer, closing the gap between them.

Alex took a deep breath. Her whole body was shaking from nervousness. She was well aware how close they were to each other and how the rain was not helping from what she was thinking.

Her body shivered a bit from the cold coming from the draft of the window and had longed for warmth coming from her partner.

"Are you cold?" he asked.

She nodded and he pulled her closer to him. Her eyes stared at his lips as different images came to her mind.

"What's on your mind, Alex?" he mumbled as he leaned closer.

Alex bit her lip as she felt the sudden warmth caused by their bodies. Her hand held the collar of his shirt. She unbuttoned the remaining two buttons and ran her finger inside the opening.

"You're having ideas, don't you?" Robbie teased as her eyes went back to him.

"What if I do? What are you going to do about it?" she replied, as she bit her lip.

"Damn, Alex!" he cursed as his eyes focused on her playful lips. "Don't tempt me!"

Alex smiled seductively as her eyelashes fluttered. She leaned her head towards his lips, readying herself for a kiss, breathing heavily on his face as her eyes lifted towards his. He met her gaze.

She snaked her arms around his neck and pulled him closer as their lips joined once again. Robbie tightened his grip on her waist as he deepened the kiss.

The drops of rain faded behind them as they share a passionate kiss. Despite of the cold outside, their bodies began to heat up as their minds focused on one thing: SEX.

It was probably not the right place to do it since sooner or later the whole place might be flooded and yet they could not help the sudden emotions they were feeling. Being alone, away from all the distractions... no one to interrupt them... it made them realize that finally they could get into it.

But reason kept Robbie at bay as he let go of her lips.

"Sht, Alex!" he cursed as his eyes closed trying to stop himself before his body explodes out of control. "T-This is not the best time."

"Really?" and she kissed him again, trying to convince him. She knew he would never resist her. He tried this before but she always won.

He kissed her back, delving his tongue into hers in which she received openly. He forgot everything he needed to do and focused himself on the goddess before him.

It was as if their minds had entertwined the moment he had said those lovely words and yet, he still was not sure what Alex felt.

"I love you, Alex," he blurted out as he let her lips go once again and hungrily dove his lips on her neck.

His whole body exploded and he did not want anymore reason not to give in. He had restrained himself for days... and every interruption just made him longed for her.

She moaned as he continued to trail his lips on her neck. The urgency inside of him made him hotter than ever, and he knew anytime he might get rough on her.... in a good way.

He wanted to prove to her how much he loved her and that she would eventually changed her mind... That whatever doubt she had would be replaced with security... and let her know she was the only one in his heart.

No one else.

Funny how Michael's words kept him going no matter what. He was glad he followed his advice. Otherwise, they won't come to this point.

Alex did not know that this was all part of his plan. To take her here... away from everyone.

"Tell her how you feel, Rob. Show her how much you loved her ever since... I know a place where you can spend time alone... away from everyone," Michael had said.

"But how about Sasha?"

"Don't worry about her. Toni and I can get her distracted. Also, you needed some release. We both know you can't resist each other."

"Why do I feel like you're making me sound like a pervert?"

Michael laughed.

"This is your best bet for now to prove to her you're not gay."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Believe me," and he smirked. "That's how I got Toni."

"Sht, man! You did it there?"

"No, but, that's where I proposed."

"I see.."

"And yes we did it," and Michael laughed so loud.

"Mike, you perv!" said Robbie laughing.

He stopped for awhile, breathing heavily on her neck. He had one purpose in mind on why he took her here. It was not supposed to end up like this.

It was not in his plan to hold them off more than two hours in the cabin, all soaked and cold.

Though the rain gave them the mood, still he did not want them to be left alone here freezing.

The image of them naked on the wet floor was not a very beautiful scene in his mind.

He wanted to give her the best experience after several years of being apart. Though it might be good to quickly release some steam, he still did not want her to remember it that way.

He felt like the next time they go "all the way" should be somewhere it was more romantic... and this definitely did not look romantic at all.

Alex opened her eyes and stared at him as he let her go suddenly.

"What's wrong?" she asked as she saw him walking away from her. "Robbie.."

"Sorry..." he said, his breathing was fast. His body wanted to do it desperately but then, his mind reasoned with him.

"Robbie, why are you saying sorry?" and she moved closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck once again. "Don't you want it?"

"I-I do but... sht!"

Now, he hated himself as she saw her face changed. He didn't want to make her feel like he rejected her. He just wanted to let her know, she was too special for this kind of scene.

"Alex, you just don't know how much I desired you. But... I just felt this scene was not the best place to do it. I mean..."

Alex laughed. "I've done worse than this, Robbie."

His eyebrows crossed, suddenly remembering Miguel. He hated how he felt jealous all of a sudden with that stupid jerk. He was Alex's first time and he treated her like any other girl.

A plaything added to his collection.

"Robbie..." and his eyes focused on hers. "I don't care where we do it... as long as I can do it with you."

"Sht!" he cursed again.

How did she make it sound like its no big deal and yet, wonderful in his ears?

"I'm not a virgin, Robbie," she whispered as she kissed his jaw. "Don't treat me like one."

"Alex..." his breath quickened and he gripped her waist. "We-we haven't done this for years... I just felt like.. you deserve better."

"You are just too sweet," she mumbled as she kissed his neck. Robbie let out a hot breath. "That's what I liked about you."

"You liked me?"

She stopped as he gazed at her. She fiddled with his collar.

"I had a crush on you when we were kids," she admitted as she bit her lip.

Robbie was amused as she looked like a girl who confessed to a boy for the first time. Her cheeks were rosy red and her eyes lowered like a shy girl would do.

"You had a crush on me, too?" he teased, grinning.

"Yes... remember when you told me I'm cute? We were probably six that time. I think, I have liked you since then."

"But it didn't last long, did it?"

She shook her head.

"Was it because of the signs?"

She nodded. "Yes... I saw how you mimicked Aunt Bernie. Dressing up like him on halloween... I mean..."

She released a deep sigh and focused on his collar.

Robbie chuckled. "But you know that I'm a goof ball. I always want to cheer you up."

"I know... but..." and she ran her finger inside his collar. She did not want to ruin the mood by asking him about Kenneth so she just kept quiet.

At the right time, she would ask it again and hopefully she would get the right answer.

Because deep inside her, she knew she did not want him to think that she was someone else.

That he was totally just hers.

"What about now, Alex? Do you still like me?" he asked and she looked at him.

"I like you more than that, Robbie..." she told him.

"What do you mean?"

"I... I might be falling for you, too."
