Chapter 265 - The Sunrise (1/2)
Robert looked up at the sky and Rachel followed his gaze to look at the yellow and orange lights breaking themselves through the sky behind a snow covered mountains. It looked so beautiful as they were surrounded by trees around them and they could see the sun rise in front of them and at this height it was so clearly visible.
Robert held her from behind tightly, his chest against her back and she tilted her head back to rest on his chest. He looked at how bright her eyes had turned which only meant she enjoyed the scene.
She looked at the sky, the yellow shades slowly started turning to only the shades of orange. The clouds slowly began to move to the sides giving way to the sun to rise up. It slowly made it's way up some parts of it still covered by the clouds which slowly began to disperse away giving way to the sun until it was completely up in the sky.
With every moment of the sun, Rachel's expressions changed, she was mesmerized by it. Seeing this felt even more special because of the person she was seeing it with because as she was enjoying the nature's beauty, she could feel Robert's gaze on her. His eyes never left her face as they took in every change in her expression, he never wanted to see the sunrise as he had watched it so many times, all he wanted to do was take in the beauty of the person with him.
Rachel felt his gaze on her but she didn't say anything as she enjoyed him watching her but his action sure made her cheeks turn red. After she was done watching the sunrise, she turned around to look into his eyes lifting her head up from his shoulder ”I enjoyed my view, how about you.”
He smiled knowing very well what she meant, he held her chin in his fingers and said ”I can never be satisfied by seeing my view, it's never sufficient.”
One side of Rachel's lip pulled up and she pushed him away lightly ”That I can see, did you come here often.”
He nodded his head to which Rachel replied ”It was spectacular, I feel like all nerves in my body have calmed down.”
”Hmm, maybe I have that effect of you.” he teased.
She chuckled ”Sure whatever makes you happy” she teased back.
Robert then brought her down on the land, she could not feel her feet for a while as she had been away from the had floor for some time, her legs were not ready to carry her weight yet as they were shaking but Robert held to her tightly and smiling he said shall we go ”Shall we go now.”
She nodded so Robert took her to the horse, still holding her firmly, he made her sit on it first and then climbed behind her holding the reins of the horse, Rachel placed her hands on his and looked back at him ”Teach me how to ride it, I want to learn.”
”Alright, hold the reins.” he replied calmly and as Rachel did that, he let go of them. Rachel panicked and began pulling at them ”What are you doing, I don't know how to do this.”
He smiled and then wrapped his arms around her again holding her hand and steadily began to pull at the reins as he slowly spoke in her ear ”It is very simple just keep yourself steady and do not move much.”
She watched his movements keenly before following them, her expression was so serious as if she was readying herself for a fight which made Robert smile but he didn't say anything and just enjoyed watching her as he slowly let go of the reins and Rachel began to ride on her own.
She followed his every step and everything was perfectly fine with her until they came to the end of a cliff, it was because Robert had brought her in a different direction to show her how the place looked from the height. Rachel began to panic as she didn't know how to stop and as a result of the change in her posture and movements the horse began to move much faster towards the end of the cliff when she finally spoke ”Stop it!”
Robert was enjoying the view so he felt the urge to tease her a little and said ”You have to stop it on your own, now our lives are in your hands.”
For this moment Rachel completely forgot that Robert had wings and that he was immortal and could not die, she began to panic as she didn't know what to do and they were inching towards the edge with every second, she shouted this time ”Rob, stop messing around and help me.”
It was so hard for him to suppress his laughter as he enjoyed the look on her face, it felt adorable and suppressing his laughter, he said ”No! I am not doing it, do it yourself.”
Rachel turned around to see the serious look on his face and when she turned to look forward a mischievous smile crept on his face. She felt that both of them were definitely gonna die at her hands and looking at Robert who was not willing to do anything, she realized it was useless arguing with him. She was prepared to die now, her heart was racing and as they came to the end of the cliff, she panicked and closed her eyes letting go of the reins ready to fall down, a loud scream escaped her throat. She waited for the fall to begin but it didn't happen, she was still seated in her place and she felt that Robert had moved even more closer to her. She slowly opened her eyes to see why they were not falling and she saw Robert holding the reins.
