Chapter 18 Kiss Me
Leah’s POV at 18 years old
After Jacob and I went swimming, we decided to head back to the statue. The sun was drying off our naked skin and we were sharing a mango enjoying a quiet moment between the two of us until Jacob broke the silence by saying,
“Kiss Me.”
“You’re all sticky!” I told Jacob. I was referring to the fact that he just ate the mango so sloppily by having some of its juices all over his lips and chin.
Of course that didn’t matter to him so he responded with,
“So what? Kiss me.”
I smiled at his silliness but yet I still went over and kissed him. I tried to pull back when he held my head to his.
I told him, “Stop, I can’t breathe.”
“But I don’t wanna stop.” Jacob responded back.
I then leaned back against some grass and Jacob grabbed the mango and squeezed its remaining juice onto my face and neck.
I squealed out a little because of the juice hitting my body and asked him, “What are you doing?!”
I began to giggle when Jacob decided to kiss off the juices that were on my face and neck. I couldn't help but giggle nervously. I may have told him to stop, but I wasn't sure I wanted him to
Jacob pulled back a little after kissing all the juices off. He still had a giddy smile on his face but he had a confused expression on his face while watching me intensely.
“My stomach feels funny and my heart is beating really fast.” Jacob commented.
My stomach felt like it was doing somersaults and my heart felt like it was pulsating out of my skin.
“Me too.” I told Jacob.
I felt like something was pulling me to Jacob. We ended up kissing again. The only difference this time was a feeling that overcame us was unlike anything we had experienced before and we never wanted to stop.
In between the kisses, I hugged him while gently cascading my hands down along his back.
He was gently stroking my hair while leaving my lips momentarily so he could kiss my neck. I felt like I was floating when he did that.
I was feeling all tingly when I felt his hands exploring every crook and curve of my body while his mouth was doing its own exploring alongside my neck and mouth. I realized that the tingle was flowing all the way through part of my body that Jacob never paid attention to until now. I felt Jacob’s body weight brush against me. I was a bit leery when my skin came into contact with a part of him that was throbbing with pain but he hadn’t screamed out. I rubbed myself along him and he was doing the same in return to me.
I was gasping between each breath for what we were doing. It felt wonderful, spontaneous and exciting all in one motion. I didn’t want to stop and I knew Jacob was feeling the same.
Our bodies seemed to be rushing towards something breathtaking, something almost scary like we were bad for doing what we were doing but yet had no problem doing it. My inner self was telling me to go faster just to see how far I could go. The only way I can describe it is if Jacob and I were having a swimming contest to see who would outdo the other.
I could could only compare the experience as thrilling and exciting like cliff diving . It started off slow, like the climb up the rocks of the cliff. At the top, I took a running start until it felt like I was falling in thin air. Then suddenly, before I knew it, a giant wave overcame me.
A loud sigh brought me back down to earth when Jacob let out a ragged moan as his response.
Before I knew it the sudden rush was over, I was looking up while out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Jacob was sitting next to me and looking into my eyes. I didn’t know what to do so I started to smile and giggle. Jacob also started to laugh and we became one again.
I placed gentle kisses down his chest and traced his lips with my finger.
He gently stroked my hair and rubbed my arm affectionately.
In between swimming, eating, and sleeping we had found another way to keep ourselves occupied.
One day we decided to go swimming after our time together. We came across two turtles. One was on the other turtle’s back and I thought it was like Jacob and I if we were animals.
We swam far out and came across a cave. Jacob decided to climb up the rocks of the cave to the very top and jump down into the water below where I was waiting for him.
Later that afternoon I was sleeping peacefully in a makeshift hammock. I felt a light caress from my toes all way to one of my bumpies. When I opened my eyes, I saw Jacob looking down at me with amazement and wonder.
we kept glancing at each other and smiling as if we were sharing a secret just between us.
The following day we came across a small waterfall in one of our swimming escapades. I sat behind Jacob and wrapped my legs around his chest and we slid down it like it was a slide.
We ended up in a tide pool of water where Jacob and I kissed each other for what swimmed like hours. We swam to an even bigger waterfall when we managed to break apart from one another.
I was acting like I was showering myself with the stream of water over me. I couldn't decide if it was the temperature of the water hitting my body in certain places or the intense look Jacob was giving me.
I felt as if they were tiny icicles prickling my body and smiled at the feeling of Jacob watching me.
Jacob treaded in the water to get closer to me. He led me underneath the waterfall to a cove. He lied down and placed me on his lap while I gently helped put his head on the ground. I let my body shifted over his and then the swimming like motions we felt the day before took over. The only difference was that when the sudden rush was over, I was the one who sprawled over his body.
That afternoon Jacob was sunning himself on the shore and I was swimming in a pool of water. I decided I had enough. When I got to the shallow side, I walked over to him through the water to tell him how I was feeling,
“I’m so happy, I love you.”
Jacob gave me a back massage to express his feelings back although I know he had no problems saying I love you back. With every caress his hand touched my body, I felt like I was flying. It was firm yet gentle at the same time.
I in return helped wash the sand off his back. When we viewed each other face to face, Jacob gently touched and placed light kisses on my face.
Later that night, I wore a full length gown with sleeves while Jacob wore pants and an open red vest. We were dancing to the music box and gazing intently at each other’s eyes.
When we slept that night, Jacob held me so tightly and securely. I held his hands with my own hands with that same emotion. It showed that nothing could ever separate us, that we were officially one.
The next morning I was on the shore smiling at Jacob who was out in the water. Two dolphins showed up alongside either side of him. The dolphins and Jacob had the same start in the beginning of the swimming race. With their fins and the fact they lived in the water, the dolphins beat Jacob by a good mile away.
Jacob lost but he laughed it off while the old Jacob would have done nothing to prove that he was the best at everything. I couldn’t help but laugh along with him.
