What Do You Mean?

~Three Days Later~

Sabrina and Rhett spent their afternoon at the entrance of the cave.

They watched the world outside and occasionally looking at each other.

Sabrina glanced at Rhett and cleared her throat. "How old are you? And how many siblings do you have?" she asked curiously.

"I'm 23 years old, born to a loving family. I grow up surrounded by 7 siblings. Family wise everything is good... until one day my life changed. The rest is history," Rhett replied dejectedly.

Sabrina's brows furrowed. "How old are you when you came here to the cave?" she inquired, trying to fit the puzzle together. Previously, the wolf is not willing to tell her much about his personal life, but today, she might be able to get more information from him.

"I was 13 years old during that time..." Rhett responded with a gloomy sigh.

"And...?"

Rhett was shaking his head, trying to forget something terrible that happened in the past. Everything that transpired on that day leads him here in the cave, imprisoned for life.

Sabrina watched him intensely, hanging by his every word. "Tell me what happened on the day you were sent here!" she said, trying to encourage him to reveal more about his dark past.

Rhett shut his eyes for a few seconds, trying to block the painful memories from coming back into his mind. He released a deep sigh and stared outside for a few minutes, then he fixed his gaze at his pretty companion sitting a few meters from him.

His situation improves drastically when Sabrina finally entered the cave. He was no longer lonely, he got wonderful company. A smile formed on his lips. He knows that at this very moment, she was aggressively poking at his past, fishing for information.

Sabrina sighed. It looks like he was shutting her down again. She thought that today, she will be able to finally learn about his past and understand everything that's going on around him. But based on the look on his face right now, something tells her that she won't get that information today.

"How about you will give me a kiss now? After that I can tell you everything..." he said, teasing her.

Here we go again! Sabrina groaned and shut her eyes for a moment. Then she breathed deeply. "You're not giving up right? Always Insisting about that stupid kiss!" she said irritably.

Rhett masked his guilt with his charming smile. "Allow me to kiss your lips, then we can get out of this cave safely," he assured her with a lie.

Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Never! The hell will freeze over first before I will kiss you willingly!" she said indignantly.

Rhett smiled. Teasing Sabrina always gave him a daily dose of high. "Eh? You're not willing to kiss me... but you're using my body to keep you warm every night. You're just taking advantage of me and my body!" he accused her, amusement flickered in his eyes.

Sabrina scowled at him indignantly. "How dare you! You are the reason why I'm here! You deceived me in coming here! It's all your fault! Don't you dare complain about giving me your warmth every night! You shouldn't hold it against me!" she said, throwing daggers into his eyes.

Rhett smiled and said, "Calm down... don't get mad at me!" He's getting used to her outburst now. "Alright, It's my responsibility to hold you and give you my body heat every night so that you can survive the freezing cold. I shouldn't hold it against you, my bad. I'm sorry, I apologized," he said in a serious tone.

Sighing, Sabrina bit her lip and stared outside, getting hopeless and depressed as days goes by.

Silenced engulfed the two of them.

Rhett gazed at Sabrina's face tenderly. He longed to hold her in his arms in moments like this, unfortunately, he can only hold her during the freezing coldness of the night. During the daytime, she was like a tigress, but during the night she's vulnerable and susceptible to his advances. He can easily kiss her lips, but it will be a force one, and she will hate him for doing that to her. He can't bring himself to do it.

There are times that he wanted to just kiss Sabrina's lips and be done with it. But a big part of him refused to agree with the idea. It's either he will get the kiss willingly from her or never at all.

He's eager to know what will happen after the kiss. Only after the kiss, he will know if the witch told him the truth or not. What if everything was just a big lie? And after kissing Sabrina, nothing happens...

What he's going to do next?

Well... he still has lovely Sabrina as a company for life inside the cave. Worse come to worst they will survive somehow. He survived alone in the cave for many years, and now that Sabrina is finally here by his side, his future doesn't look so dark anymore.

He looked at her pretty face intently, a smirk formed on his lips.

"One day you will agree to my kiss!" he declared confidently.

Sabrina looked at him in disgust. "No way! In your dreams!" she said, her eyes flashing with rage.

Rhett shrugged and smiled. "Tonight, when I'm holding you in my arms and you're enjoying my sweet embrace you will ask me to kiss you!"

Sabrina blushed crimson red, she looked at him disgustedly and blurted, "You're shameless!" She picked up a stone and hurled it towards him.

Rhett avoided the stone easily while chuckling in amusement. "You're so cute when you're angry!"

Furious that he's making fun of her difficult situation, Sabrina rose to her feet and leave the entrance of the cave, going to the location of the chamber.

"Hey beauty... where are you going?" Rhett asked.

Sabrina didn't reply and continue walking away.

Rhett rose to his feet and followed Sabrina to the chamber. He found her grabbing some clothes from her bags. "Are you going to take a bath in the stream?" he asked.

Sabrina turned deaf ears to his question. She left the chamber and walked towards the location of the stream.

Rhett followed Sabrina from behind, wishing that her mood will improve soon. He realized that she gets easily irritated by his teasing, but he just wants to brighten up their depressing situation.

But Sabrina hated him and doesn't want to be teased by him. She was easily annoyed if he mentioned the kiss. Maybe he should keep his mouth shut to avoid angering her again.

If she continues giving him a cold shoulder, the kiss won't happen anytime soon. Then what's going to happen to the two of them? Living in the cave for many years without talking to each other sounds horrible.

They finally reached the stream.

He didn't go further to give the girl some privacy.

Sabrina starts bathing behind the rock, occasionally sneaking up a glance at Rhett's location to make sure he stayed at safe distance.

A few minutes later, she finished her bath.

Done bathing, Sabrina left the stream going back to the chamber. She continues ignoring his presence.

Rhett followed behind her silently, keeping his mouth shut to avoid her wrath.

Inside the chamber.

After dumping her used clothing in the corner, Sabrina left the chamber, going to the location of the entrance of the cave.

Rhett was still following her, admiring her womanly form.

Sabrina can feel the intensity of his gaze, drilling a hole in her back. She ignored him.

They reached the entrance of the cave and sat on their favorite spot.

A few minutes later.

Sabrina smiled brightly. She saw Grandma Azere approaching the cave.

Rhett watched the old woman, walking slowly, carrying a basket in her hand.

"Grandma! How are you today?" Sabrina greeted her benefactor merrily.

Grandma Azere placed the basket at the top of the rock. Then she looked at the couple, her eyes lingered at her charge's pretty face. She was shaking her head while staring at her.

Teary-eyed, Sabrina pleaded, "Grandma, please help me! I want to leave this cave!"

Sighing, Grandma Azere looked at her charge's directly in the eyes. Then she spoke, "You haven't kiss him yet?" she asked in a serious tone.

Sabrina's eyes widened in shock, her brows knitted together in confusion. "Grandma? W-what do you mean?"
