Joanna was lost in the intensity of his gaze. As she stared into his passionate eyes her face subconsciously drew close.
With her eyes fixated on his, the two of them felt a strong force pulling them towards each other. They both had no control over this strange force.
Joanna closed her eyes ready to feel the warmth of his tender lips against hers. She was eagerly waiting to feel the sweet taste of his addicting lips when he let out a loud groan.
Arrghh***
His screams made her eyes fly open. "What... what's wrong?" Joanna asked, her worried eyes centred on his.
Kayden's eyes fluttered open. He released his reddened lower lips. "It hurts... so will you let go," Kayden twitched his cheeks where her fingers were pressing hard on.
Joanna pulled away from him when she realised what she had done."Sorry.. sorry it wasn't intentional...,"
"Of course, I know that," Kayden said confidently. He extended his hands and held her hand and brought them to his bare chest.
He lifted his eyes and made sure they were locked in hers. "I know you could never hurt no matter what," His confidence while saying this was on another level.
She tried to pull her hands away from his grip but he refused to let her have her way.
"What always gives you this confidence and assurance. I an I don't recall ever giving you that assure...,"
"Your eyes of course or where did you think I got the confidence?" Kayden's face lit up as he continued staring into her eyeballs.
There is a strange feeling he always had whenever he looked into her eyes. And this is why he always misses those strange yet amazing feelings each ti he doesn't see her.
"My eyes? What do you an?" Joanna touched her eyes hoping to find what he was talking about.
"You won't see it now no matter how hard you try but I assure you, you will understand exactly what I an when you fall in love with too" His smile never left his handso face as he spoke.
Joanna threw away the used cotton wool and sat down close to him. She stared at him in the eyes, "What does it an to fall in love with soone," She demanded in a subtle tone that carried endless gentleness.
"Love?" Kayden repeated as his lips curled into a beautiful smile. He cleared his throat, stood up and got ready to give her the answer she wanted.
"The feeling of being in love and receiving love in return is the most amazing feeling in the world...," Kayden trailed as he looked up at the starry night which seed to be shining just for his sake.
The mory of the day he confird that he was in love with Joanna cropped up in his mind.
He could still recall how amazing he felt that day. His smile shone brighter than normal. His temperant took a new dinsion.
re looking at her picture fra hanging in his bedroom made him feel full. His life never remained the sa again after he confird the doubt he has been having about her.
"When you are in love with soone even though that person is right before you, you will miss him. Doesn't that sound crazy?" Kayden stared at the lady who was gazing at him intently.
Her purple orbs followed every movent he made.
"As crazy as it sounds, that is how I often feel. Even though I spend 24 hours with you it will still feel as though that isn't enough...,"
"That is madness," Joanna spat out the words without thinking. She folded her long legs and relaxed her back.
"And I am gonna make sure you join that league of thousands of mad people in the world...,"
"Your wish," Joanna rolled her eyes as she spoke.
"Of course, it's my greatest wish for you to fall madly in love with just like I am with you so I don't think you need to remind about that," Kayden winked naughtily at her.
"Shaless," Joanna muttered. Her pouty lips almost made Kayden burst out laughing.
"Ok, I won't tease you again so back to what I was saying," Kayden's mischievous look vanished and was replaced by his seriousness.
"When you are in love with a man, seeing him hurt will make you feel twice the pain. If he is in danger you would wish you could replace him in that situation. It is the feeling of being full rely seeing her eat even though you haven't eaten for a day...,"
"Why does love sound so complicated?" She shrieked.
She has heard a lot of stories and saw a lot of instances where those in love do crazy things for the sake of love.
Although she doesn't understand what it ans to love a man romantically she finds so of these things barbaric.
Why does love have to be so complicated?
These things lead her to question the real essence of love.
"Love is the purest feeling in the world," Kayden started. He strode to the trunk and sat down.
"Love itself is not complicated but it is people who make it sound and look complicated".
Kayden stared into space as he sat there. Her question made him recall the past.
When he was still a kid he never had the privilege to spend quality ti with his mother.
He was raised by his father for as long as he can recall.
Kayden can still vividly rember what his father always told him whenever he asked why their mother wasn't with them.
"Mummy loves us. She is just too busy working to make sure that you have a worried-free future?"
Back then he always foolishly accepted what his father said but as he grew up he no longer believed that bullshit.
Kayden was lost in his thoughts and didn't see Joanna turn to look at him when he didn't utter a word.
rely looking at him she could read sadness on his face.
Just then Kyle's words echoed in her head, "Even those who smile the brightest might be silently crying for help".
Joanna tapped him on the shoulder. She bead when he turned and gave her questioning glares. "If you are sad then you can lean on , I have got you covered," Joanna tapped her left shoulder.
