He wished the ground would just open and swallow him that instant but his wish wasn't granted.
[Goddamn it! I can't believe I just flaunted my biggest assets in front of her]
Kayden stared at the lady whose eyes were still covered.
He contemplated what to do. He so much wanted to go and wear clothes but he was scared of leaving her there all alone.
What if he returned and didn't find her? What if he comes back only to realise that their reunion was only a part of his illusion?
He didn't think he could handle the pain that would come with these outcomes.
"Get going already," Joanna yelled angrily.
"Wait here. Don't move a muscle. I will be back before you know it," Kayden said. He gave a long stare at her before he vanished into the dark.
Joanna unshielded her eyes the moment he left. The memory of the scene replayed in her head repeatedly.
Her face suddenly burned red. Corrupted thoughts began occupying her once innocent mind.
Joanna gave a tight slap to her face when she realised the dirty thoughts that occupied her mind.
"Snap out of it, girl," Joanna reprimanded herself coldly.
She was still standing at the same spot waiting for Kayden when the weather suddenly grew colder.
The sky changed drastically and a fierce cold breeze began blowing.
The wind was so strong that it raised both dead and fresh leaves from the ground and flew in the hair.
Tree branches shook violently distracting the birds whose shatter was on these tree branches.
The sudden change was so great that Joanna got scared. She quickly ran away from the cliff for fear of being hauled back into the lion's den she just escaped from.
"What the hell is going on?" Joanna muttered as she stared at the sky in which lightning started flashing.
The lightning and thunder were so great that they scared away birds and animals in the forest.
From where she stood Joanna could hear birds chirping and the sound of many animals.
She has never witnessed something so phenomenal and she found it very strange.
"Don't tell me that even the universe is celebrating my return?"
Joanna smiled as she stared at the lightning flashing across the sky.
Droplets of rain started pouring.
Kayden arrived three minutes after he left. He wore a huge purple cotton overall that looked like a bathrobe.
"Come let's go and take shatter in the hut," Kayden grabbed her hand before she could say a word.
As they run Joanna stole secret glances at him. The first change she noticed about him was the fact that he had grown his black hair longer.
His long hair repeatedly tried to cover his handsome face as they ran.
[Why do I feel like his jawline has become sharper? Is this perhaps because I haven't seen him for a long time?]
Joanna quickly looked away when she saw Kayden momentarily turn and look at her face.
The rain graduated from mere droplets to a heavy one.
Just when the rain threatened to grow even heavier a hut came into sight.
Joanna was surprised to see a hut in the middle of the forest but she didn't say anything. Her main focus was to shield her body from the heavy downpour.
Both she and Kayden took shatter in front of the hut.
"Why does it have to suddenly pour so heavily? Why did it choose today of all days?" Kayden complained with a frown as he ruffled his hair to drain out some of the water in it.
"Yeah, you are right about it," Joanna muttered as she dusted off the blue denim jeans she wore.
The denim jeans and the black shirt she wore were so faded that one would mistake it for a piece of rag.
"Let's go in so I can help you properly dry your hair. You are going to fall sick if you don't dry it now," Kayden held her hand and led her inside the hut.
Stepping into the hut all they could see was thick darkness and nothing else.
"Wait here while I get my cell phone from where I kept it," Kayden said as he let go of her hand.
Not long after, the flashlight of Kayden's cell phone came on, almost overpowering the darkness.
After he switched his cellphone's flashlight, he went ahead and turned on two torchlights lying on the table close to the bed.
When the lights came on Joanna was stunned to see how beautiful the hut looked.
There was a bed on the left-hand side of the room. Two beautiful red chairs and a centre table could also be seen there too.
A medium-size wardrobe and some decorations were also present in the room.
Instead of some ugly hut like Joanna expected she was surprised to see the beauty of the hut.
"Take this and dry your hair. I will immediately take you home after the rain has subsided," Kayden said as he handed a white towel to her.
"I am not yet ready to reveal myself," Joanna said sharply. She collected the towel from him.
"Besides what is the use of rushing when I can take my time enjoying the moment".
Joanna grins evilly while drying her hair.
"What do you mean?" Kayden grimaced.
"Everyone thinks you are dead. Audrey has been mourning you ever since that night. Think about your little rice ball…,"
"I am not saying I won't ever show myself so why are you nagging me?".
Joanna looked away from his eyes afterwards. "I have a score to settle with a few people so I don't have any plans of revealing myself until I settle this score. I can't wait," Joanna smirked devilishly.
Seeing her like this made Kayden doubt whether she was the same sweet girl he knew.
"What score are you talking about?" Kayden asked curiously. He couldn't help but want to know what she was thinking because of her evil grin.
"And what exactly happened to you that night? Where would you have been if you were not dead?"
Kayden waited for her to satisfy the question that has been on his mind since he set eyes on her.
"Not now. Maybe some other days. I will tell you everything when I am mentally ready to recall the hell I went through," Joanna said with a fake smile.
"But…,"
"Your hair is still dripping wet. Take care of it first before you start asking questions," Joanna said. She extended her two hands and tried to help him dry his hair with the white towel covering his hair.
Joanna dried his long hair with the white towel. She was still drying his hair when her eyes unintentionally caught a glimpse of his bare chest.
Her mind subconsciously went back to that moment close to the edge of the cliff. This time around it wasn't only her face which grew hotter but her entire body.
For some reason, she couldn't look away from his bare chest. She gulped hard as she fixed her gaze on his fine bare chest.
Joanna was lost in her fantasy to see how passionately Kayden was staring at her. Their faces drew closer without any of them realising it.
It was as if there was an invisible magnet pulling them together.
Joanna stiffen in shock the moment their soft lips met. The softness of his lips made her recall the cotton candy she ate when she was a child.
She wanted to pull away but a part of her refused to let go of such a tasty candy.
Kayden's fiery tongue forced her mouth open and took their kiss to the next level.
The heat burning up in Joanna's lower region made it feel painful down there.
She moved closer so that the only thing separating their body from joining was the piece of clothes they were wearing.
Joanna's hands moving frantically on Kayden's body soon pulled off the overalls he was wearing.
"More… More…," Joanna whimpered in pleasure as she encircled Kayden's bare body with her hands.
