Dimensions

[ Benedict POV ]

I'm preparing our food and I'm thinking 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 lunch time already. While getting near at 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 all side of her. I'm not satisfied with the view of my shots where I only get her side view since she is currently standing in the shore where half of her toes is reach by the water. I can't go in the front view cause I'm wearing pants it will get wet, so I decide to call her out then ready my fingers to take a snapshot the moment she turn around.

And the work of art has been made, I got what I want. But she realized what Im doing and tried to snatch the phone from me, I quickly raise my hands up. Her expression look like a child where you took something from it.

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

Then suddenly she drop her hands and jump while her hands pulling down my shoulders, that was a good trick cause she almost got the phone so I quickly moved my hands, I hide the phone in my back. But I did not anticipated her cleverness, she successfully took the phone from me with a smug in her face. She search the phone and look over through my photos, now I regret that I did not set up a password in 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 cause it's hard to take some photos of her. She is not the type who use to take a selfy of themselves appreciating there beauty's which is, without a doubt she's more deserving to display her appearance in social media. So I did expect her reaction cause I never seen her taking pictures of her self 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 from her, I catch her without delay. She hid the phone in 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 of I will pull her up, we both fall down 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 our self lying in the ground while I'm on top of her, she was laughing hard that it so contagious makes me laugh with her. But due to our current position I got a closer look in her face. She look so lovely where her hair spread out in the sand, and in her eyes I can see the reflection of the sky that gives more clarification of the details of her hazel eyes.

I was so into watching her that I 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 to breathe properly.

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

I moved quickly to start getting up and offered her my hands which she reach and we both stand up. I shake off the sand that was stick in my pants. I notice she's struggling to shake off the sands in her back so I help her out. I shake it all off then I notice the phone still lying in 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 look at me with her eyes narrowed, might be guessing what condition it might be then she give 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 a pictures will always bring back the memories. With the happy thoughts I put my hands around her shoulder and act like a girl beasty, 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 foods where I supposed to do in the first place, cause it's already past three o'clock, it's quite late already for lunch. We took four hours ride from the city to got here including the traffic. I held her to sit down at the top of the hood beside the food then I sit in the other side. I pick up the bake mac which I know her favorite where I learned to like also, and hand it to her. She smiled sweetly after praising me. I pick up my own food from what she packed but she handed me back the half of the bake mac, that's what I like in her the most, her selfless gesture that she usually make it a habit around me whenever she could. We both enjoyed the foods. I don't know if, it's because where hungry or the scenery added savor in our foods that brings a booster in our appetites. We finally devoured all our food and make our stomach satisfied. She slide down and start cleaning the empty containers and stock it all back 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 the dry part of sands.

We sit close to each other, just the can's of beer putting space in our body. We were both satisfied with the sound of the waves and time to time we hear the sounds of some birds passing by, some are hunting foods. So to add with the amorous ambiance, I play a music in my phone. When I drink off my two can's I lay down with my both hands at the back of my head. Feeling the mood I sing a long when the next song tuned in "Make it with you" while singing out the lyrics I turn my head towards Layla whom decided to lay down too, eyes were close. I change my position facing 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 now airing, she might be expecting that I will continue singing but I'm to focus on her that I do not mind the song anymore. She open her eyes and look my way, that's when she notice me, looking at her. She turn her head back facing straight into the sky not saying any single words. I signed and lift my body back to sit and turn to her again.

"I think I'm good.. lets go..?" I attempt to broke 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 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, that my body just go on with her plan, she pull down my collar and she tip toe to get closer in my face then I heard her sniffing. I almost got a heart attack with her sudden gesture that I did not anticipated. My heart beating wild that I could even hear it's rhythm, then she finally moved back and release my collar and even fix it back in place. It's still not registering in me what just happened so I freeze even though she tap me to stand straight already. Then I finally hear her calling out my name while she's 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'll pass in the passenger side I open it first for her then turn to the driver side to hop in. I buckled my seatbelt then wait for her finnish hers before I started the engine, then I drive silently still thinking of that moment. I can't move on cause I actually think the other way, I expect a 'kiss' than a 'sniff' and the thing I really wonder is why do I even expect a kiss. Since when did I start seeing her passionately. 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 moving, I decide to open the door in the passenger seat, but still she's not moving. She is usually a deep sleeper but today she might be tired that make 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 key. I well just gather later our things.

I had carry her all the way to the condo and still she's sleeping, good thing the door lock can be open by finger print to unlock. I carried her all the way to her room and slowly put her down in her bed. I removed her sandals and slip her in, inside her blanket. I feel envious of how deep sleeper she is, that she could even sleep what ever her position is, while me just a a little noise can make me wake in no time. I turn on the AC. I'm about to move when she move sideways that she almost fall, so I take off the blanket out of her and lift her again to move in the center to be sure she will not fall down when she move sideways. I don't know what she's dreaming that when I removing my hands out of her back, she moved towards me and slam her hand around my neck that cause me pull down in bed with her. Our face where so close that I can feel and smell her breathe. The moment awhile ago in the beach, flash back 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 him.

Hug and kisses in the cheek's are already normal to them since she's a sweet type specially when she's asking for a favor and you grant it you will earned her sweet gesture's.

Before he could think farther his body do the initiative, his head lowered down for his lips and touch hers. A single kiss would have been enough for him but suddenly she open her mouth that give him more room to explore, his hands that was under her back pulled her closer for a hug, and his other hand that seems like having it's own mind holding her neck, to support on her head. My kiss got more access can't get enough of the softness, she even responds in my rhythm that giving me sensation and my arousal is getting awake by her sweet moan, I almost thought she is already awake and by that realization, with my whole strength I pulled my self up and slowly remove her hands in my neck and pulled out my hand underneath her. I almost give out all my control, I put a blanket on her and check if she still sleeping or had been awake for my outburst intrusion. When I confirmed she still sleeping, I hurriedly go out in 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 a trousers and slip in my sneakers, I need a drink. I don't know how to face her when she wake up, so many 'what if' running in my mind. I went out and take a taxi to a bar.
