Seven

"it is so beautiful in here." sydney exclaimed looking at everything in awe.

"It's so magical, it feels like I'm in fairy-tale" embracing adam, i look at the streams of light up in the sky, adam says that it's called aurora borealis.

"thank you for bringing me here, i like it" they are currently at one of best viewing site directly standing below the lights.

when Adam kiss her, sydney no longer embarrassed instead took the initiative to respond. Adam can still taste the icecream and the fruit she just eat 2 hours ago, sweet and tasty like her lips. Both of them started to pant. This kiss became intimate and hastier than the one they have shared before.

As they keep kissing, the distance between them became intangible, only there clothes is the one separating them from one another. Full of passion... Full of desire... Full of wants.. Lust.

It was about fifteen minutes when adam started to loosen his hold to her, however he still locked sydney is his arm never letting her go.

Sydney found a cozy place, place her ears in his heart and hearing his still erratic heartbeat smile.

"Where are we going tomorrow?"

"Our tour guide says he would bring us to some boat tour tomorrow, i don't know much, but i bet it would be good"

Adam and i decided to just forego the researching, we or he just book a tour guide, make him do the itinerary of the trip and we would just go with it so I'm quite looking forward to it.

We arrived here right before dinner, and after eating smoked salmon chowder and black cod where they marinate it in soy sauce and lemon juice then grilled it and then my favourite, for dessert we have wild berry cobblers of which when we go back i like to recreate.

"We should go back, it started to snow already" adam suggested before holding her gloved hands.

Going back in to our room we just started to change in our sleep wear when someone knock at the door. We look at each other then at the door when the knocking persist. We are just tourist in here so we are surprised that someone whould knock.

"A ghost?" Sydney ask before looking at the door, the more she look the more her eyes grew big until she convinced herself that one knocking should be one.

She yelp, throwing herself to bed, even making herself a human burrito by how she put they quilt on her body.

"Silly, stop making yourself afraid because of your imagination" an unimpressed adam reproached her.

"And don't throw yourself like that in to the bed, you might hurt yourself" he continued before heading to the door and opening it to reveal lorie, sydney's sister.

"What are you doing in here?" he ask gruffly when he her.

"Is it true?" she ask, before trying to look inside.

"what's true? And what are you looking inside for?"

"That you are already married?" she look like on the brink of crying when she ask.

"Yes, i am, and why are you so surprised anyway?" i questioned her again before scrunching my eyebrow, is she here to gossip?

"Nothing, Is sydney in there? Can i talk to her for a minute?"

"No, she can't go out, her attire is inappropriate." i tell her before i close the door not minding that she would think me as a rude person, well she started it first, who in their right mind whould knock on somebody's door in the middle of the night.

And one more thing, what is she doing in here anyway? To gossip? But then my assistant really is efficient, we haven't even been here for a day yet he already release my marital status which i tell him to do. I ought to raise his pay when i go back.

"Who is it?" still hiding on the quilt, only half of her face is out for him to see.

I smile before i spat the word "A ghost!"

"eh"

"....."

"you're kidding right? Then why would you stay there for so long? and i even hear a voice of a female speaking."

"That's the ghost, wearing white dress, long black hair, pale face, bloody lips and bloody nails and she wants to talk to you." i say trying to make fun at her, one more thing lorie looks like that with her lips and nails color red, face pale and she is even wearing a white dress.

Silence reigns for a minute before she looks at me, her eyes are red, then she cry, a full blown cry with loud sound not the just whimpering one.

"...."

"eh?"

And she is afraid of ghost! She is even shivering when i hold her in my arms, her body is so cold even thought she is sweating bullets. I feel like an idiot, if i could bring back time, i would slap my past self for making her cry.

"I'm just joking, there's is no ghost, and if i ever see one I'm not going to make her talk to you, I'm just going to kick her back to where she came from so stop crying now okay?" i coax her trying to calm her down when she started to hiccups.

But instead of making her stop, she just brawl her eyes out tightening her hold unto me. I can feel my sweater became more and more damp because of her tears.

"What's wrong kitten? Stop crying now okay. Look you even started to hiccups"

"if.... If you see one"

"mmm"

"You can't kick her, what if you came closer and she is stronger and she would take you with her, then Sydney will be alone again" Came her reply when she started to calm down.

I quickly look to her face when she says that looking for a sign that she is just pulling my legs and making a joke when i see none.

I can't believe i am here, sitting on the bed, embracing her and talking about ghost in the middle of the night. And the childless reply, damn, she even address herself as a third person. She is so cute, tear stained face and all.

I just nodded when she look at me with her expectant yet still red rimmed eye, still waiting for my answer.

"I'm so sorry for making you cry, it's just suppose to be a light teasing. Thinking about it i became borderline mean to make fun of you" i don't usually ask for forgiveness but right now if she would say i should kneel before forgiving me, i would.

"It's okay, I'm just so silly for crying like that, my mother always say i look ridiculous when i cry"

"Do you hate her?"

"Who?"

"You're mother."

"I don't know, maybe, but one thing i know, is i don't care about her."

"You care about me right?" before looking at her face intently.

"uhmm"

"even if you don't care about, i wouldn't still let you go"

"sydney, you have no chance to regret this now"

Sydney did not understand it then but she still determinedly shook her head "en, i won't regret it."
