Instead of replying with words, I open the huge container I brought with me.
Soft yellow light slowly brightens the gloomy cliff as the fireflies swarm in the air.
Glyndon stares up and her phone is forgotten as she gets caught in a trance. I love it when she’s in awe, when her lips part and her eyes widen. It’s like when I’m pounding inside her and she can’t take it anymore but she still enjoys every second of it.
The yellow light forms a halo around her as I sneak up behind her. The moment she feels my breath on her neck, she startles and turns around so fast that she slips backward.
Blindingly, she clutches my chest with both hands, and her phone clutters to the ground.
“This scene is oddly similar to the first time we met,” I whisper.
“You scared me,” she breathes out, definitely not as frightened as back then.
“Do you trust me, baby?”
She pauses, her breathing quickening before she releases me. I reach out and pull her back with a hand around her waist.
Her chest flattens against mine as she grins. “Does that answer your question?”
I grind my jaw. “Don’t do that again.”
“Then don’t ask stupid questions again. Why would I stay with you all this time if I didn’t trust you?”
“My charm?”
“You don’t even know the meaning of that word.”
“You love me?”
She sighs, shaking her head. “Unfortunately.”
“Unfortunately?”
“Yeah, I could’ve picked anyone else, but it had to be you.”
“Damn straight.” I stroke her hair away from her face. “You’re here early.”
“Well, remember that unfortunate thing about how much I love you? Due to that reason, I actually miss you when I don’t see you for a certain amount of time.”
“That’s very unfortunate, indeed.”
“But the view is worth the wait. How did you manage to get all these fireflies here?”
“I just did. Do I deserve a reward for all the hard work?”
“Did you do it to impress me or for a reward?”
“Both.”
She smiles, shaking her head. “What do you want as a reward?”
“Marry me, Glyndon.”
Her smile remains frozen. “W-what?”
“I want you to marry me.”
“We’re like twenty-one and you still haven’t finished your education, and I want to continue my master’s degree. When I say what, I mean, are you serious?”
