Note from the writer:
Dear readers,
I'm --dolphin--/dolphinUSA. Most of you know me as dol. As GHSP comes to an end, I wanted to share this last OS with you. This is the only forum where I've been that active when I was active here. It had become a part of my daily routine...to come here and interact with all of you. Although I've not watched the show in almost a year, I still hold it close to my heart. So as a goodbye post, here's my last OS on Maaneet which I wrote on Nov 10th 2011. I don't have an account on IF anymore so asking my dear friend to post it for me. Goodbye GHSP! It was nice knowing you!
Lots of love,
~dol~
OS ---THE FIRST KISS
She got up from where she had fallen with a thud and dusted her rear while looking at him with narrowed eyes. He found it amusing and couldn't help the grin that formed on his face much to her annoyance. She turned around and stomped forward on the uneven ground only to fall again, but he caught her in time this time around.
"Let go" she commanded in her typical loud tone to which he only raised an eyebrow. Even amidst the dark unlit neighborhood, she could see his expressions without having to squint her eyes. They weren't too far from the village...she had only taken a few steps into the woods where he had deliberately pushed his leg forward to make her fall. The light from the full moon was shining bright like a tube-light above them.
Instead of letting her go, he tightened his arms slightly around her waist where he was holding her. She struggled in his arms...
"Let...go...of...me..." she stressed each for him in case he didn't understand the first time. And he let go...by simply releasing his arms. It didn't give her any time to straighten up to hold a steady footing on the ground, and thus, she couldn't prepare herself to fall on her back once again. Before her rear made contact with the ground, he caught her again. He saw that her mouth had fallen open...he wasn't sure if it was because he had let go of her, or because he had caught her again. Actually, neither did she...
This time she made sure to stand on her feet alright before struggling in his arms again. Again, instead of letting go, he tightened his arms around her pulling her closer to him, all playfulness having disappeared from his face. He chest was inches away from being crushed to his now, which made her even more nervous for she had already noticed her heaving chest. Her eyes closed as she swallowed hard in between her deep breaths.
He blew all over her face then and she flung her eyes open. All nervousness vanished into thin air as anger rose in her once again. She started struggling again and this time he jerked her in his arms. "Stop it, Geet. How long are you going to run away from this?"
"I'm not running away from anything." she bit out even as she looked away. They both knew she was lying. She was a bad liar.
"Oh really? Then why don't you look into my eyes and say that." She didn't. Her eyes closed automatically as her lips parted when he pulled her further close...his chest touching hers.
Given how strong he was, he held her in place with an arm around her waist while his other hand came forward to tip her chin in an attempt to make her face him. She felt herself slowly melt in his arms when he rubbed his thumb against her soft skin. She was burning...but she enjoyed it as well. He smiled at her reaction...
As if she read his mind, she took this time to get out of his hold successfully and started to run deeper into the woods. She had barely ran a few feet before he caught her around her waist again and went down on the ground...with her underneath him. She raised her hands to hit him on his chest but he was faster...and pinned her hands near her head on the ground with force. He wasn't sure if it was the pressure of his hands on hers or the pebbled ground that had dug into her skin, he saw her cringe. Even with a pained expression she looked gorgeous...more so in the natural light of the night.
Not being able to hold it any longer, he lowered his lips to suck her neck. She resisted at first...trying to throw her chest against him to make him pull back. She even tried kicking with her legs while screaming and threatening to report him. But the softness of his lips against her skin even while he was forcing her still made her submit to him. Within a few moments, she found her entire self relax as his ministrations moved from one side of her neck to the other. She felt heat enveloping her body and thought her mind was abandoning her as she felt lightness in her head.
When he was satisfied that he had covered her entire neck, he pulled back and looked at her face. She had closed her eyes but now opened them. She helplessly asked through her eyes for him to let go but he simply shook his head. They looked deep into each others eyes for several moments before he broke the silence between them, "I can't take it anymore, Geet. I don't have the energy to fight this anymore. I want you and I want you bad. And I know you want the same. Stop running away from me. I cannot stay away from you."
She had managed to look away while he spoke. She didn't have it in her to hold his gaze while he bared his feelings in front of her...after all the hesitation and all the inhibition that had allowed them to insult and avoid the other. Somewhere deep down in her heart she had known that she was uncontrollably attracted towards him...but she kept delaying the inevitable.
"I love you, Geet!" he told her in a single breath before he changed his mind. All this while, he had kept his feelings under check from fear of rejection, but distance from her was something that he couldn't deal with.
She looked back at him with moist eyes when she heard that. She had imagined times innumerable hearing those words from her prince charming, but never had she ever thought it would sound so beautiful in reality. They stayed there like that in silence for a long time, just looking into each others finding answers to questions they didn't know they had. A vulnerability took over her over time and she looked away as she whispered the three words back to him...making it barely audible to him even.
He let go of one of her hands to free his own and turned her face. She didn't resist, but merely kept her eyes closed. He gently kissed her forehead, her eyes and her cheeks before finally sealing her as his own. His lips were soft and gentle over hers. She reciprocated after a few moments. And then, the same thought ran through their minds...There's nothing like the first kiss...
~lots of love~
