[Ellis's PoV]

"I KNEW YOU WERE HERE."

I heard someone speaking behind me, but I didn't look back. Why would I? I already know who it is. It's Haru…

I went here at the hill near the meadows with bright yellow flowers the moment I left the dome. It was actually my hidden place of sanity. I always go here when I don't wanna stay at the hotel.�

I once Haru brought here and he remembered this place.�

"So?" I just said.

He stood in front of me. "Why did you leave the match early?"�

I turned the other way and didn't give him a stare. "Do I have to watch it? It's not required, you know."

"Why can't you look at me?" Haru asked.

"Is there any reason I should?" I stood up and ignored him, but I felt his hand on my arm. He's grabbing it really hard.�

"Why are you avoiding me? Is there something you wanna tell me?" Haru confronted.�

"Nothing," I removed his hand and walked.�

"Come on, Ellis…" I heard him whisper. "What did I do to make you angry at me?"

"Nothing," I replied, but I didn't look at him. I continued walking.�

Well, the cold treatment is a classic move to keep your man go gaga over you. See, it still works.�

But I'm not doing it to make him run circles on the palm of my hand. He needs to realize what he's done. On his own. And I'm not gonna feed him anything.�

"Ellis… Let's talk," he shouted.

I kept walking on a pace that he could still catch me.�

"Machiavelli!" he yelled.�

I smiled. He really likes calling my long name.

I still walked, until I heard footsteps fast approaching behind me. Then, I felt both his hands on my arms.�

"Is it because of Fenna?" he whispered directly in my ears. His breath left a tingling sensation in my ears, that turned me on. Shit. He's attacking my defenses.�

I faced him. "What about Fenna?"�

"You're angry that I'm still talking to her," he answered. See, it's just a matter of probing the right questions.�

"Well, I can't stop you, can't I?" I said with an unfriendly tone.�

He sighed. "She's a friend of mine, and believe me, nothing is happening between us. Besides…" he stepped backwards. "Why am I explaining this to you in the first place?"

Oh, shit. No, no, no, honey. Since when did he learn how to turn the tables?

But I won't back down.�

"Yeah, why are you here in the first place talking to me? Go away," I tried to drive him away, but I hope he won't leave me.

"Is that what you want?" he asked.

"Is that what you want?" I returned the question to him. Hah! He may be intelligent, but I am clever. Does that make sense?

"No, because I wanna talk to you and I don't want you to be mad at me," and I'm back in the game. I still got him.�

I just scoffed and started walking away.

"Baby, if you walk out of me one more time, I promise I will never talk to you again," he said in an uncompromising tone.

But wait…�

Did I hear it right?

I faced him and walked towards him. I hit his body hard and shouted, "Baby? Why are you calling me baby? I'm not even yours! We're not even together! I don't know what we have, but you don't call me baby! D-O-N-T."�

He grinned. "You forgot the apostrophe."

I looked at him directly in the eye and murmured, "You're so full of shit."

"You're a shit yourself," he retaliated.�

"You're worse than shit," I said.

"You're shitty as hell," he replied.

"You're a f/ucking shit," I clapped back.

He scoffed. "I'm a… What? F/uck you."�

"I dare you," I said quickly. Unconsciously. Excitedly.�

Both of us remained silent. We're just reading each other's eyes like we would want to find out how we feel towards each other. There's so much tension between us and it's so overflowing…

And it did overflow.

Simultaneously, we both moved towards each other closer and enveloped our lips together. Yaaaaaaaas! I've been waiting for this for such a long time.�

This is the very first time we kissed. In full throttle, bitch! His lips are so soft yet so firm, it felt like I'm kissing a gummy bear! His saliva's kind of sweet too!�

He's kissing me so hard that I forgot my middle name. Girl… This is insane!

He cupped my face with both of his hands. Then, he moved closer, as he made me feel his authority, his masculinity, his power. Shit, shit, shit!�

"Damn, Ellis, what did you do to me?" he said as he was catching his breath. That was an intense kiss!

"The same thing you did to me," I responded.

"What?" he reacted.�

"Nothing, just kiss me again," I said, as I moved towards his face, but he resisted.

"Ellis, I…" he cleared his throat. "I don't know… I'm not sure… Ugh, I can't do this."

"You f/ucking piece of shit!" I growled. "You call me baby, you kiss me passionately, then you drop me like it's hot?"�

Haru got confused. "What are you saying?"�

"You know what I'm saying. I'm tired of being a slam piece, Haru. I don't wanna be the one who gets hammered in the night and thrown like trash in the day. You think I'm too easy? That I enjoy being used over and over again? This is—"

I stopped talking when he locked his lips again in mine. This time, it's sweeter. It's not the intense kiss earlier, but a gentle, reassuring one. Like it's telling me that he won't leave me.�

Then, he moved his lips to my neck. He even put his tongue out and brushed my skin from the side of my neck to my ear, as he nibbled it lightly. And then again, his warm breath was touching my ear lobes and leaving that tingling effect again.�

"Oh, motherf/ucking shit…" I moaned.�

Of course, my years of practice won't be hidden in the bag. These tricks should be applied right now, bitch.�

I pulled the buttons of his shirt and there exposed his sturdy chest as I licked between it. He twitched, but I don't care, bitch. He must take all of my tongue.�

After that, I pulled the shirt as it's a big hindrance to my tongue exhibitions. His pinkish nipples were delectable. So, I delected them! Is there such a word?

Haru moaned silently like he's holding his feelings back.�

"What's the problem?" I asked.�

"We're out in the open," he whispered.

"I'm out in the open," I said, then he winced.

I held his hand and… "Come with me."

I just thought of one place that no one in this dome would see us. Of course, I brought him there.�

"Camo," he murmured.�

I nodded. "Now we're in our own world. What else do you want?"�

He waved his hand and a puff of a rainbow-colored cloud appeared in front of us. He then carried me, newlywed-style, which I was caught off-guard, and all I did was to put my hands on his neck. Then, he gently lie me down on the cloud, as it slowly soared above.�

Literally, I'm on cloud nine. Well, I'm not sure if cloud nine has a rainbow color. But, whatever, we're finally doing it, bitch! This is the gag of the year!

He then brushed his lips against mine and I did not object. I loved it so much. It's so… fantastico!�

He moved on top of me, which I really like. I didn't realize he's a buff. Behind those shirts that he always wore, it looked like he's just a guy with an average-sized body, but when you're this close, oh, bitch, he's like a blanket that can cover my entire body. If I ever have a blanket like this, I would never want to move out of it.

I felt his weight but it's not heavy. It's comforting, actually. It's not light, but I can feel his skin against me and it's so hot…

He went down to lick my nipples this time. I howled like a wolf! He giggled and licked it again like a cat slowly sucking the milk out of the cup. I don't care what animal sound I would make. I'm in great heights, literally.�

"You're too loud," he reacted.

"No one would hear us, baby," I said, checking if he would notice.�

"Shit, why does it sound so hot when you call me baby?" Haru said.

"Because I'm hot," well, that's a no-brainer.

"Call me baby again," Haru ordered.

I just bit my lip. Learn from this, bitch. You must not bring out all your cards at once.�

"Hah, if you don't call me baby one more time, I'm not gonna take all of my clothes off," Haru commanded.

"Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby—" I said it nonstop, bitch!�

But he stopped me with his lips. He kissed me again, roughly this time. He's moving as he's unzipping himself… Pulling his belt and pants… Pulling his boxer shorts and…

I felt something really warm between my thighs. It's heavy. I'm not sure if it's up to what length, but…�

"Boy, you're naked," I said.�

"You called me baby eight times, before I kissed you. Here's your prize," Haru changed his position. Right now… He's on top of me… But I'm not facing his face, but his…

"Holy motherf/ucking shit of it all…" I uttered.

What a rod he had! That wiener is a winner!�
