254 Come Closer (1/2)

It was a beautiful, bright day in the Swiss Alps. Delicate snow flurries began drifting down, adding more to the mountains' natural beauty. Fortunately, it wasn't too windy so the temperature was bearable with the proper winter attire.

Iris and Jin Liwei's date consisted of walking around downtown, appreciating nature, and taking photos together in such a breathtaking place. However, they didn't stay outdoors for too long because Iris needed to protect her throat and vocal chords from the cold.

They headed inside the mall to warm up. They didn't do any shopping but just continued walking around while holding hands. Iris was very distracted because she kept thinking about how she was going to confess to Jin Liwei. She didn't know why she felt so nervous.

'Just say 'I love you'. What's so hard about it?' she challenged herself, but she still couldn't stop herself from feeling jittery.

”What's wrong, baby?” Jin Liwei asked, noticing her restlessness.

She shook her head and asked him instead, ”Are you warm now? I want to bring you somewhere else.”

”I always feel warm with you. Hot, actually,” he said with a sexy smile.

Her eyes darkened with desire. Unlike when they just first met, she could now understand some sexual innuendos. She grabbed his head for a hard kiss in the middle of the mall. The people just glanced at them in amusement before returning to mind their own business.

When the kiss ended, they were both panting.

”How about now? Do you feel hotter?” she whispered.

”Boiling.”

She giggled and then pulled his arm. ”The flurries have stopped. Let's go before it starts snowing again.”

”Okay, baby. Lead the way.”

They rode another shuttle bus to their next destination. It was a natural park just outside the downtown area.

When the two disembarked, there was a roaring sound from a distance. It was also colder in this place. There were other people besides the two of them, mostly hikers. Some of them would probably climb all the way up to the glacial region of the mountains.

Iris dragged Jin Liwei, almost bouncing in her nervous excitement. The roaring sound grew louder as they followed a footpath deeper into the woods. Finally, they reached a clearing and a stunning multi-tiered waterfall appeared before them.

The rushing glacier waters sparkled under the bright sunlight like pristine liquid crystals. It wasn't a large waterfall but was enough to impress people with its beauty, emphasized by its unspoiled surroundings.

”It's beautiful,” Jin Liwei breathed, but she still heard him despite the roaring waters.

She smiled, pleased that he liked the place.

Then he looked at her. ”But you're more beautiful.”

Her smile widened and her heart beat faster.

”Liwei…”

”Yes, baby?”

”Come closer. I need to tell you something.”

He leaned to her.

”Closer,” she urged.

Bending his head, he leaned closer until his face was only inches from hers.

She used her hands to gently turn his head to the side so that his ear was directly in front of her mouth.
