"Hey babe, it's me, calm down". A familiar voice came from the person holding me in his arms. A voice I needed. A voice I needed to hear so bad. I let him hold me and wrapped my arms around his neck while a smile formed on my lips unknowingly.
"Damn it, you scared me, don't do that again!" I lift my hand up and rest it on my chest to smooth up my breathing. "Alright, I'm sorry.. are you ok?" He asks.
"Yeah don't worry" I roll my eyes. "Baby~" He sings for me, knowing very well that it always makes me smile whenever he gets a bit cheesy with me. "Come on, stop it", I try my best suppress my smile. "My princess~" He keeps on going while chuckling. I finally smile now and give this boy what he wants.
"Damn that pretty smile~" He makes me blush like always he does just by voicing out few cheesy words. I hit his shoulder playfully.
"But Andrew, what are you doing here?" I asked curiously, he never came to pick me up before . "I just missed my girlfriend, did I do something wrong?" He replied in his husky voice. "No, I missed you too" . I smiled.
"So.. should we head towards the park? Or you wanna fresh up first?" He asked. "It's ok, I just want to be with you". I replied back without any hesitation. Being with him is what I live for. "OK" . He smiled and pinched my cheeks while walking with me in his arms towards our spot where we meet everyday.
"So.. will you go wherever I take you honey?" He asked in a teasing tone, smirking at me. "Yeah.. I mean why not? I trust you, love." I smiled at him, tightening my grip around him.
"Well then, there is a place I really want to take you to.. " he slightly chuckled, his voice deepened. "What place?" I asked. He leaned in towards my ear , his nose slightly touching my earlobe, his hot breathe brushing through my skin, nervousness took over my body. He just knows how to make me feel shy.
"You visited my house several times, but you never saw my bedroom babe, how about I take you to my bedroom?" He whispered, his raspy voice giving me goosebumps. And oh my heart, please control.
"Shutup Andrew! Put me down now" I said, hitting his chest in a playful way. Hope he won't see how hot my cheeks are, must be red. "Alright alright babe, I'm sorry I was just kidding". He laughed. His laugh is just like music to my ears, just contagious. I can listen to it all day without getting bored. His laugh is just like water which can bloom those wilted flowers, buried in a corner of my heart. That raspy silk like voice, is all that I need.
I raised myself a bit to nuzzle my nose in his jawline. In which's response he sniffed my hair and placed a gentle kiss on my nose.
"We're here" he said. "Shall we take a walk?" I hummed in response. He held my hand tightly, intertwining our fingers against each other. We both started walking taking small steps forward. Enjoying the nature and absorbing the positivity this place had.
We both didn't speak anything. There was silence. But silence between us was never awkward. It was very peaceful. Like we are still talking. Like telepathy.
His hand in mine is just the moment I wait for all day. His every touch makes me feel alive. His every effort of love towards me arouse me to have more of him. We've been together for 3.5 years now. But still I can't get enough of him.
I want to squeeze his hand. And so I did, unconsciously. He smiled and lifted our intertwined hands up close to his lips and kissed the upper surface of my hand. I blushed at this feeling.
"Will you be there during my surgery?" I asked him. "Offcourse, I really can't wait for you to see me. You're finally getting your eyes back lady" he replied. "I can't wait for it too, I'm so excited" I grinned widely. "I'm also" he said. "But I'm a bit scared, what if it doesn't go well Andrew?" I frowned. "Don't think like that, happy days are waiting for you Raquel. It will all be alright". He replied making me bit relived. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah baby, I just hope you don't find me ugly" he chuckled. "Shutup Andrew, never, it won't happen. And how can I judge you when I'm ugly already!" I scoffed. "No princess, you're the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I really mean it. And yeah, with your eyes or without them, I will always love you sincerely" he pulled me closer to him. Sincerity in his tone already visible. "Just stay with me" I said. "I will".

[ 2 weeks later ]
I was sitting in my room snacking on some peanuts coated with spice. My surgery was just in 4 days. I was so happy. Much happy than the last few years of my life. I was getting my eyes after 6 years. These years I spend without my eyes, were horrible. It was all pitch black, everyday felt like infinity. It was horrible. I'm so glad that finally those years passed.
The surgery, it was a sign of hope to me. We could find a donor for my eyes. And after all these years, I guess my prayers are finally accepted. I will be happy when I'll get my eyes back. Without eyes, life is a whole different world. I'm a bit proud of myself that I survived these years. And the credit goes to my boyfriend too.
On the other hand, I was feeling very nervous. I was scared. Scared that it won't go well. This feeling was disturbing me alot. Something just feels off. Something isn't right. What?
But I will let it slide and let the feeling of happiness overpower it. Just like jimin said, it will all be alright. I'm waiting for my happy days.
