Enos was already in the bathroom by the time I woke up the next morning. I lifted my heavy body from bed and slowly walked to him. He was in the shower, water dripping down his body as he leathered it with soap.

His back had been broad - mascular as always and I was taking my time analysing again. It's something that I frequently find myself doing, watching him, taking everything in. I was too invested to notice that Enos had turned around to face me.

"Do you want to join me," He gave me a sloppy grin as he scrubbed his tattooed chest and I blushed, "There's always room for you."

He was tasteful and I felt self cautious for carelessly studying him, embarrassed even. "You've been avoiding talking about what happened last night." I remarked.

"And what was it that happened?" Enos was either playing clueless or simply messing with my head.

"I want to put your mind at ease." I articulated, sauntering from the door and towards the shower but not entering.

Water was washing him clean as he took time responding. "I'm already at ease." Enos digressed non-chalantly.

I sighed.

There many uncovered sides of Enos and I've been unceasingly trying to take the veil off each one. He has been ignoring the matter, James was here and Enos wants to skip over that detail as if it never happened.

"I believe otherwise." I argued.

"And why is that?"

"You didn't come back to sleep here last night until early morning. When have you ever closed those eyes without kissing me good night?"

Enos turned the taps off, not bothering to grab the towel as he stepped out of the shower. He stood before me, looking down. "Stop overthinking things."

I was reckless and I did reckless things. Spontaneous, and crafty and often irritating. I still do them and that's why I said, "Did that not bother you? Seeing James here at your father's house."

Knowing fully well that he came for your girlfriend. I did not add. I wasn't that reckless.

The expression on his face perplexed me. Enos seemed substantially unaffected and he even smiled while reaching out to caress my cheeks.

"I trust you." He proudly replied. "That's enough to leave me at ease."

I was taken aback with his calmness and his confidence in me. I felt his hand touch my chin and those lips capturing mine. I intrinsically gasped, momentarily letting my lips part to his feverish gentle attack. With that, Enos inserted his hot tongue into my ready mouth, his naked body eliminating the distance that was previously present between us. Both his hands cupped my face, kissing deeper as I let him led. "I would always choose you Elisabeth," He breathly said against my lips, "You have now proven to me that it goes both ways."

I had no time to provide a solid assuring response because Enos' lips were back above my own again. My cheeks reddened, a deep scarlet tinting my pale complexion. Minutes passed with him tasting me. The hot heat was rising and the thin layers of my night gown allowed me to feel every inch of his body.

We parted eventually after running out of breath. I was uncertain whether I should discuss the issue farther or leave it as ambiguous as it has been left. Perhaps it can actually be this simple.

"I'm headed to town to get dad's medication, come with me." He offered. Walking us to our bedroom. "I was thinking we could visit some of those places we looked up on Tuesday."

I beamed,"Really? Today?"

Enos was ravaging his closet, "Of course. We have plenty of time and the summer is here. Let's start with three to four places and then visit the rest later this weekend."

"That's amazing," I may have sounded overly excited. But I truly couldn't wait.

"I see you love the surprise." He remarked and then I threw my arms around his neck, holding him close and kissing him. He was swift to respond, humming in my mouth. "Thank you." I raved. He parted from my lips and instead kissed my forehead. "Get ready."

"Hey wait up, not so fast," I connected our lips again. He moved his hand to my back, fingertips pressing under my skin, drawing circles against that small strip of my bare skin.

Enos deepened the kiss, jesting my nerves with his intensity. "Mmmh," my legs began moving backwards as he guided us forward, stumbling over things and falling on bed. I giggled as Enos hovered above me. My body curved into his naked one sensually and fitting perfectly on each other. He tucked my hair behind my ears and cupped my cheeks, swirling his tongue against mine. My tipsy fingers grabbed his hair gently while I followed his smooth rhythm.

My heart was swelling.

It was beating with a strange hymn as Enos kissed me the way he always does. With his exhilarating heart and I felt like I couldn't breathe. So I pulled away, using my left hand to free myself from his warm body, gasping for air and holding my chest. "I see you want to take my breath away." I joked, breathing heavily.

Enos moved from above me to beside me on the bed, "Sorry...I got carried away." He chuckled loudly while holding my shoulder. "Do you need air conditioning?"

I playfully shoved his shoulder, "Dumbass." I jabbered and then attempting to get up from bed but Enos wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me back. "Come here."

"No no no," I chanted while falling on his chest. "I wanna go shower."

"I'll lick you clean." He teased while kissing my neck and I quivered. He was messing with me again. I tried to break free but his muscular arms held me down and he circled one of his legs around mine. "Someone is trapped."

"Ugh...." I whined and pouted, struggling. "This ain't fair. You are too strong."

He laughed against my ear, "Then stop challenging me and give in."

"NEVERRRRRR." I digressed. "Not a chance." I was throwing my hands and swinging my body above his. I was turning red and after solid three minutes of failing, I pretended to give up and started laughing. "Okay, I surrender. I surrender. YOU WIN."

"Yeahhhh...." Enos praised himself, letting me go. And I took the chance to jolt upwards and move from the bed. "Shit!" He cursed and came running after me. I was more quick on my feet and Enos wasn't moving very comfortably cause he was naked. "Guess you're too slow." I ambled around the room, escaping his long hands and climbing up and down the bed. "Slow slow slow." I laughed. "You are never going to catch me."

Enos had this guffy look on his face as he chased me. It was fun and games until he tripped on my bra and almost fell first forward on the floor but I pulled his hand with my mustered strength and he fell on top of me, landing the both of us on the bed.

"Ouch..." I rubbed my forehead. "That hurts." His shoulder connected with my head and I swear it hurt.

"Fuck!!" He gulbed nervously, "I'm so sorry baby!!" Enos held my face and began rubbing his hand on my forehead carefully and blowing his breath on it. It stung really bad and I was waving my hands in the air. "We should get ice," I advised, grimacing.

"Yeah yeah, I'll be right back, " he got off me quickly and was almost running throw the closed door to head to the kitchen.

"Enos..." I yelled for him and he turned around. "You forgot the towel." I reminded, laughing my ass out because I swear he looked so funny with that worried face and those eyes searching the room for the towel. "It's over there," I pointed at the chair. He walked to it and grabbed it instantly, folding it round his waist.

"Why are you laughing?" He stared at me with a confused face and I laughed harder.

"Get me ice." I mustered between giggles.

"Oh! The ice, yes. Stay still okay. Don't move, I'm coming back soon." He instructed and walked out after opening the door. "Sorry again."

"Thanks." I smiled while rubbing my forehead. "Damn it hurts."

He returned in a rush, holding the bag of ice in his hand. "Does it feel swollen?" he inquired, siting beside me.

I nodded, trying not laugh again because he looked so adorable. "It doesn't look swollen." He said, "Move your hand." He guided and I did as he said, releasing my forehead.

He held my chin and lifted my head slightly. "Use more pressure." I advised as he pressed the bag on my forehead, he was focused, rubbing the ice preferably.

He worked for almost ten minutes, "Does it still hurt?"

"Not as much."

He looked sad.

"It was an accident. Don't worry about it." I cheered him up, squeezing his hand that was holding my chin.

"I should be more careful."

I took hold of his hand and kissed it.

And then I kissed it again and again until he chuckled. I smiled at him, extending my hand to play with his chin. He returned my smile and then stared at me for awhile.

I covered my face, feeling shy. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He grabbed my hands from face and proceeded to kiss them as I did his. So I started giggling because it was tickling.

"I love you."

He said.

I kissed him instantly......and he held my back with both his hands, drawing me closer to his body. I moved to sit on his lap, massaging his neck with my fingers and kissing him deeper. The Chemtrails of electricity waved through my belly as he claimed my lips strongly.

I began to breathe heavily again, my body betraying me as nerves vibrated against my skin with the way his mouth swallowed me. It felt confusing. Why was I feeling this way???

We held each other for a while and when we pulled away, I placed my face on his chest, hugging his shoulders. "Can we be this way for longer?"

"As long as you like." He kissed my hair. "Whatever you want."
