Sun Heated Sand

Redamancy: the act of loving one who loves you; a love returned in full.

"Are you scared?" As soon as those words left his mouth, I looked at him with wide eyes. How could I not be scared? We were jumping off a cliff. It is supposed to be scary. At least for me.

Now I don't think I can do it now. Could I be able to risk my life just for a jump down there? My gaze went to the water shaking with what seemed regular waves. But truth is...It could drag you to a never ending black whole. And once you try to take that breath you so long for, you realize you were tricked by natures beauty. Tricked by the illusions of the currents. And you don't even know if you're swimming to the surface. Up or down, left or right. It all feels the same.

I began to retreat and go to a place where I could be safely away from the rocky shore. But his hand gently grabbed mine and stopped me. He stood closer in front of me now. My eyes did their best effort to maintain eye contact and not go to his naked chest. His skin was soft on mine and my cheeks were already going red.

"It's not that I'm scared of. The initial leap is fine. I'm sure you've done this enough times to know if it's shallow or not. But it's what might happen after that concerns me" I peeked timidly over the edge once again and continued.

"What if there are jellyfish? Any deadly creature down there that could sting? What if we land on the rocks or if-"

"The only way to know anything for sure is to turn a "what if" into a "what was", right?" He shrugged insouciantly.

My eyes widened. He must be crazier than I thought. "C/n we could die-" He quickly cut me off. "But not before we live a little am I right? Do you trust me?"

"I- what? yes C/n it's not just up to you if we die or not-"

"Do you trust me?" He repeated sternly. As I tried to stutter out an answer, C/n put his hands on my hips, dug his heel into the ground, and turned the toes of the foot upward. He sighed disheartened. I looked at him with a pout and he sighed. "Okay then I suppose we can just climb down if you want."

"really?"

"Nope."

"DON'T-" Before I could throw up my hands, C/n pulled me into a tight hug and jumped back over the brink. Tumbling topsy-turvy, we parted before hitting the cold water.

It felt like I was levitating in a dark space. I opened my eyes and saw the surface. Rays of sun barely managing to break through the particles of the salty water. I worked my feet and swam up to take a huge breath. As soon as I opened my eyes again and brushed back my hair with my hands, I saw C/n emerging. He violently shook his head from side to side like a wild animal for his hair to stop dripping so much. His laughter was as contagious as ever. Soon I was laughing and only just keeping myself up by the surface. It was hard to do it as every wave crashed with the side of my face so I kept my head up as I did so. C/n came closer and held me by the waist. It should've helped me. And it did. It was just harder for me to breath because it was that effect he had on me. I wrapped my legs around him as we both threw a fit of laughter. When we were both over it, we were breathing hard and so close to eachother. I could see his wet lashed and every drop hanging by the sides of his face for dear life. His eyes were brighter and he had a huge smile plastered on his face.

"Asshole." I said. Our foreheads were touching. We both chuckled lightly. Our noses were touching now. We were so close. I wanted to feel those lips against mine so bad. We were getting closer and closer until some slippery shit decided to brush against my leg. I screamed and started shaking by legs still wrapped around C/n's waist. "What?" C/n screamed. "Something touched me!!"

"Maybe it's a fish" he threw his head back and gave a manly giggle. "Yeah maybe." I said back.

"Who knew you were scared of such silly things." He rolled his eyes playfully. "Who's my little chicken." He pinched both my cheeks like a grandma would do their grandson or daughter and spoke in a high pitched with an exagerated expression.

"Wha-..I'm not scared at all I just didn't know what it was-..Take it back!" I splashed my arms and pushed him back a little. Now I was struggling again to stay afloat. "Never!" He started swimming to the shore and I chased after him. I shrieked as I fell when a wave crashed against my legs. He was already  nearing the dry sand and used his arms to help himself. I followed his as he crawled back to land.

I chased him and made him fall when I straddled him with my arms and legs so we both fell and rolled around the sand as we snickered and giggled. He was on top of me losing his shit. I was breathless from chasing him, laughing, having him on top of me, and because of my feelings for him. Too many reasons. We both grew tired, which wasn't long because we were already exhausted from all we'd done earlier.

"C/n stop, you're crushing me." I managed to get out a laugh despite me being out of breath. C/n's intense eyes were focused on mine. "I'm not crushing you. There's a word missing." My heart quickened and I stopped breathing. I got lost in his beautiful face.

What the fuck.

He grinned. My eyes popped open. I totally didn't expect him to say that. I was surprised but pleased by this rather unexpected turn of events.

"Me too." I whispered, and taking advantage of this rare opportunity, my hands quickly went to his hair and my lips met his. He responded right back. The  kiss was perfectly splendid. It was slow and wet. Our lips dancing together in a medium-paced tempo.  The kiss felt like it lasted forever and o how I wanted it that way. Everytime our lips parted to take the much needed intakes of breath, it just felt like we'd kissed for less than a second. I wanted more...I needed more. We stopped kissing and he stared at me and then at my plump lips jutting out. C/n ran his thump over my lips. I gasped as his other hand went to my hips which let his thumb barely get into my mouth. I wrapped my legs around his waist. It was getting hot for the both of us. C/n got closer and closer, and kissed me once more before going to my nose, cheek, and collarbone.

He planted devotional kisses on my jawline and neck. The feeling was unlike anything I've felt before. It was enchating. I pulled his hair as I reacted to one of his kisses. C/n gave me a few more kisses before stopping. He looked at me with squinted eyes. "What?" I asked concerned.  I planted my elbows on the sand so that I could get closer to him and for him not to be uncomfortable. I was scared I messed something up already. "I've got sand in my mouth."

I chuckled and threw my head back. I lightly pecked his nose and then have me a cheeky smile. He grinned and pecked my lips once more.
