40 When the sky lit up (2/2)

But she couldn't pull back. She didn't want to. Though she wasn't being able to return the same sensation which he was providing and demanding, she couldn't gain the strength to deny him.

Somehow it was suiting to her taste...because her eyes were shot open the whole time.

And she could see him in front of her...Iven. She was calm because it was him. she didn't resist because she could see it was Iven in front of her. She wanted him, she knew now what had he tried to imply.

Iven would have probably eaten her up whole if he had no self control or conscience.

When he had opened his eyes and judged Seb's reaction, he pulled back slowly to give some space.

She was still shocked, trying to recover from it. But she didn't seem uncomfortable.

This time the situation was reversed.

Seb was gazing without a blink at him and Iven tried to avoid her eyes and hide his blush. He covered his face to prevent her from seeing it.

”Will you just stop staring?”, he finally interjected when nothing worked.

Seb didn't say anything. Her ears were apple red.

”Why?”, she asked timidly.

”What do you mean why?”, Iven was getting high tempted,”You could have pulled back if you didn't want it...”

Seb went on looking with pop out eyes,”But...was that my wish?”.

Iven looked back, his shy expression was fading. He walked up to Seb and said,”You still want to wish? I'll make that happen then”.

He reached out for her face.

Seb flinched.

Iven assured,”I won't do anything”.

He held her cheek and slowly nudged it up, towards the sky.

”Anytime now...”, he warned.

Seb was trying to make out his intentions when all of a sudden, a shooting start fell from the sky.

She was amazed,”How did you.....”,

She couldn't complete when another followed, then another....and in a while, the whole was lit up like falling fireworks. It was a shower which was timed tonight.

Seb watched with her mouth open and eyes bloomed. They were shiny and bright. She was totally lost in them.

Iven watched too. But he observed the star beside him more.

Her eyes were larger than ever, and it is undecipherable how they shone. He kept losing himself in them as his eyes were moving towards her open mouth with a tint smile and joy.

He decided not to look many times, because then he would lose control again.

But he couldn't help but look again.

Oh how much he wanted her right that moment...to touch her...embrace her....

The shower was over.

But Seb eye's were fixed towards the sky.

Iven noticed and said,”Belle, it's over”.

”I know”, Seb replied without looking,”But do you see the stars?”.

Iven looked up again. There were indeed too many stars that night. The sky bathed in moon and star light.

”Did you wish this time?”, Iven asked.

”I didn't”, Seb answered calmly.

Iven didn't say anything. The amusement had vanished off his face. Seb chuckled as she understood even without looking at him.

Slowly she reached out her hand beside, and held Iven's. Iven's expression changed to surprise and then a warm smile. He held back without any grab, but a rather passionate one. He entangled his fingers with hers and kept it intact. He won't let go of it anymore, anytime ever. He'll protect this person, even on his life. Her aura...face...voice...all made him want to protect her so badly. And he would, no matter what!!!

”My wish was fulfilled even before I could ask for it”, Seb let out slowly and shyly.

”So, officially my person?” Iven teased.

”Shut up!”, Seb said.

”My bad”, Iven said,”You're my girl. And know this, unless I let you go, you can't leave me. I won't let you run away”.

”Try me boy”, Seb challenged back.
