Page 16 of To Feel Like This Again
With every step, her hair brushes a different part of my neck, her scent wafting down to my nostrils.This is surprisingly really cool.
As the clouds emerge, the fog lessens and we get to enjoy the spectacular view before navigating our way back to the cottage. We make quite a few wrong turns in the process before reaching a key landmark — a bunch of wildflowers naturally formed into the image of a star. Almost there. Just three more Blue Mahoes to pass and then the cottage should be in sight. Well, it actually turned out to be four more Blue Mahoes. My bad.
When we get back, all the other vehicles are gone. Even the tour guide has left on his motorcycle.
Just us alone in the mountains, along with the wildlife. I feel like I should know that bird perched on the bonnet. I can see it in my high school textbook. Anyway, not important.
Walking side by side towards my car, I unlock the doors, and again she instinctively goes to the driver’s side.
“I told you not to let it happen again.”
“Oh yeah, or what?”
She smiled. I smiled.
I push the key in my pocket, walk over to her and gently cradle her cheeks between my hands. Looking deep into her eyes, my gaze drifts to her lips for a brief moment, before slowly finding its way back to her eyes.
I’ve had a huge crush on Lisa ever since I first saw her in that purple dress on the BBC.This moment feels unreal. The way she is looking at me, I can tell she’s feeling something too.This moment feels unreal.
“I told you not to let it happen again,” I say almost inaudibly.
“Oh yeah, or what?” she repeats softly, like it’s the last few words you say right before falling asleep.
She closes her eyes and inhales.Anticipating. I close my eyes and inhale.Imagining. And inching closer, we kiss with a passion I never knew could be possible again.
I’m not sure how much time passed.
“Ready for the beach, babe?” I ask, somehow finding the willpower to slow things down.
“Um yea, I’m ready,” she replies, her face flush from our kiss.
“One more kiss?” I playfully beg, while playing in her hair.
“Yes,” whispering and looking into my eyes with anticipation.
One more kiss… turned out to be a very long one.
Chapter 9

When we reach Portland in the early afternoon, it is a perfect sunny day for the beach. “Wow, this is beautiful,” Lisa gushes after getting her first glimpse of the light blue ocean. Wait till she sees the white sand, up close and personal.
I have on my beach shorts under my jeans, so I change by the car. Lisa has to go to the changing room to don her swimsuit.
Moments later, she comes out in a light green triangle bikini top and a dark green sarong.Wow. I want so badly to caress every part of her well-toned body. Starting with her neck, then her breasts, then.
“So… do you like it? ... I wasn’t sure if —” she asks nervously, her voice wavering.
“Turn around let me see,” I instruct her, rotating my index finger in a circular direction.Damn, she has a nice ass.
I close the space between us, wrap my arms around her neck, and whisper in her ear, “I love it” before gently kissing her neck and playfully smacking her ass.
“Stop it,” she teasingly demands, “people can see us.”
That’s great — Iwantpeople to see us, Iwantpeople to assume I’m banging this sexy chick.
I turn her around to face me, “Why do you think I wouldn’t like it?”
