I laid my head next to hers as we both stared up at the sky, or at least we tried to. The huge trees created a canopy and shaded us from the direct blaze of the sun. I felt Roni's head move against mine and I turned my head to face her.

"Promise me that this is forever." She says and I could see the sincerity in her intense gaze.

"I promise." I say honestly before planting a swift kiss on her forehead.

I wanted to capture this moment and keep it in my grasp forever. Her lying next to me with my heart literally in her hands and my every move at her command. I let out a long sigh as I stared up at the little bit of sky shining through the trees.

Two hours later we were both full and we gathered up our stuff as we waited for the taxi to come pick us up. It was easier to just catch a passing bus but we wanted as much alone time as we dared have.

We sat in the back seat in comfortable silence on our way back. Her head was once again pressed against my chest as I wrapped her in my arms, our hands intertwined with each other. It was comfortable and normal to just sit this close to each other and become one. I forgot about how stupid the world was and its dumb rule as I focused on the best moments of my life that I was getting to enjoy with her.

She nudged herself further into me and I knew she was asleep. Wrapping my hands tighter around her I looked out at the afternoon. We passed so many trees as the road felt endless and the scenery grew timeless. The air felt so light and I felt as though I was being swept up in the moment. I had a sudden urge to cry, not because I was sad, but because I was beyond happy.

I don't know when this high would end but a small part inside of me was saying that something bad was gonna happen real soon. I pushed the thought out of my mind as once again Roni turned against me. Seconds later the driver was pulling to a stop and I reluctantly woke her before we headed back to our room.

-------------

"Today was so beautiful." Roni says as she starts to strip out of her clothing.

I nod my agreement with her as I was distracted with my phone. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, draped in my towel as I messaged my dad. He was telling me about the trip that they would be making next month to see my big project.

Each person in my class was given the opportunity to showcase what they had put together and we had the next month to get everything in order. I was almost done with mine and I was already proud of it. All I had to do was wait on my parents. I knew that if they saw it they would be blown away and once again I got excited. There is nothing more I loved more than doing what I was good at and what I felt the most aspired to do.

"Hello!"

My head snapped up as I heard Roni snapping her fingers at me. "Yes?" I say as I look up at her.

"You're not even listening!" She scolds and I couldn't hide my guilty look.

"Ugh, you are so rude."

"I'm sorry Ron, I was texting my dad, he says that they can make it to the gallery next month. I was just clarifying some information with them. What were you saying?"

"It doesn't even matter anymore." She says and folds her hands, pouting.

"No, babe! I'm sorry, you matter." I get up from my position and walk over to her.

She now had a similar towel wrapped around her and so I pulled her into a hug. "You know that you matter, please, please tell me what you said."

She pouts a little longer before she gives in, smiling. "I hate it when you make that face."

"What face?" I ask, unsure of what she was getting at.

"You know what face."

"Honestly, I don't."

"The face that cause me to do this." She wraps her hands around my shoulder as she pulls me into her kiss.

I moan as I feel the heat of her mouth. No matter how many time I kiss or touch her, I always crave for more. She made me insatiable yet satisfied all in one go and I just loved it.

"The face that makes me lose all my train of thoughts." She continues as she kisses my cheek before trailing her tongue to my neck.

"The face that makes me weak and brings me to my knees." She nibbles my ear after whispering that and slowly leads me back to the bed.

Again?! We were gonna do this again?! Damn, I loved this girl. She was my queen.

"The face that makes me oh so wet."

My feet hit against the bed and before I could blink I land softly as my head hit the pillow and a giggling Roni on top of me. Faster than lightening both our towels were gone and I held my breath as I recognized the hunger in her eyes.

"I could do this for all eternity." I say softly as she gazed down at me.

"Good." With that said she takes my mouth and my brain got lost as once more we took each other to different highs.

------------

"It's amazing how you're never satisfied." Roni says as she lightly circles my exposed thigh.

"I'm always satisfied when it comes to you... Butttt, then I look at you or touch you and once again... We're rolling between the sheets."

She was propped up on her hand and her leg was rubbing against me. Her eyes were so light from my point of view and her skin felt so soft.

Was she really mine?

"Are you mine?"

"What?"

"Are you mine?" I repeat, never breaking eye contact.

"Ahh-"

"Because I'm yours... For now and forever."

I pushed a strand of hair behind her face and held my breath as her eyelids fluttered shut and her breathing changed. I bit into my bottom lip as a form of restraint; I once again wanted to ravish her sweet delicacies but I knew she was spent.

"I don't know." She says hesitantly and I knew she was being honest.

"Why not yes? Don't you love me?"

"Yes-"

"Don't you want to be with me?"

"Yes-"

"Forever?"

"Yes-"

"So what's the problem?" I asked, trying desperately to keep the possessive and jealous sounds out of my voice.

"I-I. Carr? You do know our love is forbidden?."

Without thinking I pushed her back against the bed and spread her legs apart as I fitted myself between her. I captured her surprised mouth in mine as I kissed her with every breath I possessed. I wanted her to belong to me. I needed her to belong to me. But I not only wanted to know it, I needed to believe it. I had to hear her say it. I needed her too.

Yes, our love might be forbidden but that shouldn't change us. Shouldn't change who our hearts belong too.

I pulled away briefly to allow us to catch our breaths. Even if I had to force it out of her, I would. I might go insane if I knew her heart belonged to another. Her love was one thing... But her heart.

They were both different entities.

Her love was unconditional yes but that was without thought. Humans can love any and all things. Creatures and inanimate objects hold our love and affection and we needin think twice about it but the heart...

The heart is completely different. It is a conscious and voluntary act of giving it to those who you desire to have it. It cannot be possessed so easily and I had given her my heart since the first time I heard her laugh and saw her eyes smallen as her smile brightened.

I looked down into her dark orbs we called eyes and her gaze shifted to the right.

No! She can't not belong to me.

My heart broke a bit but I still pressed on.

"Tell me what I want to hear." I pleaded softly, my voice barely above a whisper.

I moved her hair from out of her face and my fingers lingered on her cheek that was now starting to change color.

"Carr... I-"

I crashed my lips against her, silencing her words.

Plan B.

My hands slowly massaged their way up her legs as I increased the intensity of the kiss. I heard her moan into my mouth and her back arched a bit off the bed as I slipped my fingers inside her already soaking folds.

"Tell me what I want to hear Roni." I said a bit louder as I moved my fingers achingly slow.

I literally had all afternoon and all night to do this. And I will if I have too.
