After an hour of talking to Gina over the phone, Kamou came back to the living area. Juho was already into deep slumber on the couch. He must have slept waiting for her. She went up to him and shook his arm a little.
"Juho Honey, come I'll take you to your bed." She held his arm, trying to wake him.
"Uhh.." Juho groaned waking up and slowly walking to his room with her.
Reaching his room, his body instantly feel on the bed. He was tired from all day of work; it was already late and he was struggling to keep his eyes open again. He drifted off to sleep again and Kamou covered his body with the blanket. It was November end and the weather was getting chilly.
Completing her night time routine, Kamou got in bed with Juho. Her back was facing Juho, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Minutes later a hand made its way to her waist, spooning her, Juho came close.
"I thought you were sleeping." Kamou said not bothering to open her eyes.
"I was but my arms started feeling empty without you in them." he said in his deep husky voice.
A peaceful 'hmm' escaped from her mouth as she slept in Juho's arms.
*********************************
The next morning:
Juho came into his bedroom after preparing their breakfast. Kamou was still sleeping peacefully in the bed. Juho went up to her, hovering over her he started planting gentle kisses on her face.
"Good morning love, wake up. We need to leave soon." Juho said whispering to her.
Kamou slowly opened her eyes to find Juho's face close to hers, hovering over her. She smiled happily at him, pulled him into a hug, "Good morning."
The two snuggled for a while, before finally getting up. Juho went to set the table for breakfast, while Kamou was in the washroom for her morning business. Soon she emerged from the room in Juho's oversized clothes.
Kamou took her seat in front of Juho and began to eat. Juho had prepared tuna sandwiches, egg rolls and strawberry milkshake. Kamou happily started eating, she loved Juho's cooking.
"Did you sleep well?" Juho asked initiating conversation.
"Yes, I feel so refreshed."
"Good we have a long day ahead. Once done with breakfast get ready, we are going out."
"Out? Where?" Kamou looked up at him confused.
"A trip, away from the city." Juho replied.
"A trip? But I have to work tomorrow." Kamou hesitated.
"We will be back by tomorrow morning." Juho assured her.
After breakfast, the couple got ready and drove off to the beach. Juho wanted to take her to a quiet place, where both of them could enjoy without worrying about being seen. The drive to the beach took them almost three hours, once reaching there, they were guided to a private villa. It was almost lunch time when they arrived. Getting settled in, they went out to have lunch.
After their lunch they strolled down the streets and ended up buying alcohol for themselves. It was five in the evening, they finally hit the beach. Finding a desolate spot, they sat there, enjoying the ambience. Drinking they were both deep in conversation.
"It's so peaceful here, away from the city hustle." Kamou said looking at the ocean waves.
"You like it?" Juho asked looking at her. She peacefully looking at the waters, her eyes shining.
"Yes, I do. I don't remember the last time I took a break like this. I was so busy in my work. Thank you for bringing me here."
The breeze was getting colder as it was getting dark. The sky shone with bright stars. Seeing that Kamou was at times shivering, Juho quickly went in their villa and got some wood to light a bonfire. They both sat near the fire, feeling in the warmth. They had been drinking for quite a while now and slowly the alcohol was taking over them.
"Kamou..." Juho said after a while.
"Hmm.." she looked at him to complete.
"I am going to be very busy because of my new album. I wanted to spend some lone time with you before getting back to work. There would be days when we won't be able to talk properly. For days like that, please remember I am always thinking about you." Juho explained looking deep into her eyes.
Maybe it was the alcohol talking, but Juho wanted to express what he felt. Till now he didn't get a chance to tell her how deeply he was in love with her. He wanted to make sure she heard it from him.
"You don't have to worry; I am also getting back to work and would be occupied. Working in the same industry I understand." Kamou gave an assuring smile.
"I love you. I have loved you from a long time Kamou. No matter how busy I am, I am just a call away. Please don't you ever leave me, I plan on marrying you one day. Just stay by my side and I'll take care of everything, I will give you the happiness you deserve. I will work even harder for us." His eyes sparkled as he said these words.
He meant everything he said, Kamou could see it in his eyes. She got up from the ground and sat on his lap. Both of them facing the fire. Juho wrapped his hands around her shoulders.
"I am here to stay. I won't be leaving you." she said getting comfortable in his arms.
Juho leaned forward to her neck, gently kissing her. He pulled her closer, her back sticking to his chest. Both of them sat there for long, quietly enjoying each other' company.
'I still can't believe I have you here in my arms. We are together, I haven't been this happy in my life. You came in as blessing to me and I could give up anything just to have you here like this forever.' Juho looked up at the stars praying.
