lovebirds.
Avirej grabbed an orange from the fruit bowl lying on the beach towel. Well, she was glad that Desmond reminded her to pack something to snack on. She used her hands to peel the orange. And pulled away a couple orange slices to consume. While she was busy devouring the orange like there was no tomorrow, Desmond concentrated on watching the calming motion of the waves crashing on the beach.
The sun started to set, and Avirej rubbed her hands on the towel. Once she had finished eating one of the oranges, she looked back into the bowl, huh, there was only one orange left. She thought there were more than that.
When she looked at Desmond, who seemed to be hiding something, she told him to show her his hands. He pulled one hand from his back and tried his best not to laugh. Avirej asked to see both of his hands, then he showed her both. She stood up and told him to do the same. He got up slowly & right close to his former spot~ a few oranges were present in all their orangey goodness.
Desmond couldn’t hold it in, he burst out laughing and clapped his hands. Avirej folded her arms and shook her head. At that point, Desmond swooped her off her feet. He carried her away from the beach and back to their beach house. The second they arrived, he placed her back down. Avirej walked to the side of the windows and closed the curtains. Desmond smiled. Avirej winked at him and told him that they needed some privacy.
Avirej then laughed and smiled at Desmond. He smiled, too. “Wait,” he said in a rush. “The fruit bowl and the beach towel are still lying on the beach.” Avirej sighed. He was right. They had to go get them first, then they could get back to their beach house and enjoy the rest of their time together. He then ran to the beach.
Desmond grabbed the fruit bowl and beach towel. Avirej clapped at his great run. “Now,” he said, after placing the items on the couch, with a twinkle in his eye. “Come here my darling,” Desmond said as he pulled Avirej closer toward him. Avirej smiled. Desmond then whispered to her— “Avirej....I Love you...and..I always will.”
Avirej placed her hands on Desmond’s shoulders. Then told him that she loved him too. She would, always. Avirej’s heart felt at peace. She was happy with Desmond. There was no other person she wanted to be with. Desmond looked deeply into Avirej’s eyes, he would do anything for Avirej. She was his anchor. Wherever she would be, he knew his heart would always follow.
Desmond moved Avirej’s hands closer to his lips and kissed them. “I want you to know that I’m yours, Avirej.” She moved closer to Desmond and embraced him. “I will follow you wherever you go, darling,” she said to him. Desmond then kisses her forehead. Avirej felt safe. She hoped that they would be together for the rest of their lifetime. Desmond felt the same way. He did not want any harm to come upon Avirej. He’d be there for her whenever she needed it. Avirej places her head close to Desmond’s chest and listened to the beating of his heart.
