Day Fifty…
~~*****~~
Abigail was surprised when she saw different items in the back passenger seat– a picnic basket containing food and drinks, picnic blankets, and an umbrella.
'He ca prepared,' Abigail thought to herself with a fluttering heart. She couldn't help but smile.
'So this is one of Nathan's romantic sides.'
"Cough! Cough!" Nathan cleared his throat to catch Abigail's attention. She was looking at the back while he was driving.
"Look at , not at the back. Don't tell you are hungry already?" Nathan teased her.
Abigail just let out a soft giggle. "Of course not. By the way, did you prepare… all of this?"
"No. Butler Li packed these things for us." Nathan lied.
Abigail raised her eyebrow in suspicion. She knew that Butler Li was enjoying his Day-Off today. She knew it because the butler inford her about it. Butler Li said he wouldn't accept any task from Abigail today because he was going to et soone.
"You are bad at lying, Nate," Abigail mumbled, grinning from ear to ear.
"Hmmm. So don't ask the obvious." Nathan shifted his gaze back to the road.
"You can sleep and take a nap. You didn't get enough sleep. I'll just wake you up once we arrive," Nathan softly said. He was worried that Abigail would be sleepy and tired during their date. He wanted her to gather so strength.
"Are you sure? It's boring to drive while your passenger is sleeping."
"I'm fine. You have to save your energy. We will do so hiking." Nathan reminded her.
But Abigail shook her head and responded, "I'm riding your back. You can carry later." She giggled naughtily.
Nathan just pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly.
"I'm going to watch you… while driving…" Abigail added. She turned to his side, observing Nathan. She wanted to grab this opportunity wherein she could still look at him like this. Once she was back as Phantomflake, Nathan would never let her do this. Nathan would no longer smile at her. All she would see was his hatred and resentnt toward her.
"Let's play so music…" Abigail suggested. She imdiately switched on the car's stereo.
"Nate, what is your favorite song?" Abigail asked him.
"At My Worst…" Nathan responded.
(Note: You can listen to the song At My Worst by Pink Sweats)
Abigail paused for a mont. She wondered if this song had sothing to do with Monica.
"Why this song?" Abigail would like to know the reason. "Is this your song for your ex?"
Deep inside, Abigail was jealous. She couldn't utter Monica's na.
Noticing that Abigail's cheerful mood disappeared, Nathan contemplated whether he would tell her the truth or not. He didn't want to ruin her mood because of Monica.
Nathan reached out and grabbed Abigail's hand, intertwining their hands. "This is our date. Stop ntioning other won."
Abigail was taken aback when she heard. She looked at Nathan in disbelief. 'When did Monica beco 'other won'? She is his beloved woman. Perhaps… Nathan started to doubt Monica's faithfulness?'
"How about you? If you have a song to dedicate for … what is it?"
Abigail squeezed Nathan's hand and she stared at him straight into his eyes. "Love Soone… that will be my song for you, Nate."
[ Love Soone by Lukas Graham ]
Nathan smiled at her when he heard that. He looked away because he tried his best to control his desire to kiss her. He was driving the car. He needed to focus. And Abigail was a great distraction to him.
After an hour, the two finally reached their destination. Nathan parked the car in the parking area near Caceres Hill. From there, they had to walk and hike three kiloters to reach the View Deck.
Nathan took care of their picnic basket and other things. He didn't let Abigail carry anything. He even used his free hand to hold Abigail's hand as they walked side by side.
Abigail couldn't describe her feelings but one thing was for sure… she felt so happy today. She wanted to seize this mont and enjoy Nathan's company.
For the first ti, Abigail experienced how thoughtful Nathan was. He was guiding her all throughout their journey, either holding her hand or supporting her waist. He was not in a hurry to walk.
Abigail offered to help him carry the picnic basket but Nathan refused.
"Nate… why do I feel like we are the only people here? I thought this View-Deck is very famous to other tourists." Abigail looked around and didn't see anyone.
Nathan just shrugged his shoulders, feigning ignorance. Little did Abigail know, Nathan spent a lot just to reserve this View-Deck for them, not allowing other people to visit the view deck today. He didn't want other people disturb their date.
Half an hour later, Nathan and Abigail finally reached the view deck. Abigail gasped in amazent as she saw the scenic view of the hill.
"Oh my gosh! This is so beautiful! Amazing!" Abigail felt so close to nature. She could feel the wind and hear the birds and other animals. The surroundings were filled with green grasses and trees. It was the best spot for a picnic.
As Abigail was enjoying the scenery, Nathan started to lay the picnic blanket on the grass under the big acacia tree. He also prepared the food so that they could start eating.
Nathan was satisfied to see Abigail enjoying the view. He was glad that Abigail liked the place. Before, he planned of bringing Monica here. But Monica hated hiking.
When he was done preparing the food, Nathan stood up to approach Abigail. She was now standing in front of the giant telescope. She was using it to have a clearer view of the things below the hill. She saw Eagles flying around and other animals in the forest near the Caceres Hill.
She was busy spying on the wild animals in the forests when she suddenly felt two large hands wrapping her waist. Nathan hugged her from behind and he placed his chin over her shoulder.
"Do you like it?" Nathan softly asked her. He nuzzled his nose on her nape, giving her a soft kiss on the back of her neck.
Abigail's heart skipped a beat when she felt his soft lips touching her skin. That wonderful sensation gave her goosebumps.
'Damn!' Abigail bit on her lower lip. 'I want to kiss him… he succeeded in tempting … But I am trying to avoid intimate things with him. How long will I be able to control myself.' Abigail closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Nate…" Abigail moaned his na when Nathan continued kissing her from behind. The tickling sensation was spreading throughout her body.
"S-Stop… Nate…" Abigail begged desperately. She might end up breaking her resolve. 'Phantom, strictly… No intimacy!' She reminded herself.
But she could tell that it would be hard especially if Nathan was the one taking the initiative… and making the moves.
"I'm hungry!" Abigail tried to divert Nathan's attention but the devil continued holding her in place.
"I'm hungry too," Nathan mumbled sensually. He had a different connotation of the word 'Hungry'. He was hungry for her.
"Nate… I'm not food!"
