"You can put me down."
"You know that you'll miss my arms the moment I put you down."
"Ah! Cocky man, please put me down." Karmale faced palmed as Ryxel obliged.
"Thanks!" She limped as if almost losing balance. Ryxel was prompted to give her a hand again. He put his hand around her waist and she put hers around his neck.
"Be careful!" It was in monotone.
"Yeah!" She pushed back the hair in her face,"Thank you!" Her tone registered his sudden attitude. She tried to remove her hand from his neck but the firmness at her waist warned her against doing so.
"Ryxel-"
"The beach is that way." He shot her the same glare her eyes held, "Any complaints?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all!" She shrugged.
"Alright!" He held her tighter. She pinched him in the neck.
"Rude, baby!" It caught him by surprise but he never let go of her.
"Your fingers are inside my flesh, Ryxel."
"So should I let you fall?"
"I'm not going to fall!" She laughed.
"There is no fun in you getting hurt. Let me carry you."
"Relax! I gat this!" Karmale pulled away and he let her.
They walked forward. One step at a time.
At the shores they sat. The dry sand just before the lake was their chair.
"How's your leg, Caramel?"
"Fine! fine!" She moved her head sideways.
"Not good enough!" He smirked in discontent. He reached for her face.
"I'll be fine though." She consoled with a tight lipped smile.
"Yeah, you'll be." He pushed back the few strands lingering in her face. His gaze locked hers.
"Ahhh...umm..." She bit on her lips.
"Hmmmn!" Ryxel scoffed and smirked, "Yes, Karmale?" He stressed her name and giggles escaped his throat.
"What?"
"What? What? Not me, Caramel! Just you! You look confused!"
"Confused?" She asked clearly puzzled now.
"Relax. Just teasing." He moved away from her.
"What do you think about the water? Can we move a little closer?"
"O-okay-" they moved forward. The water would touch their shoes now. For Karmale, it was touching not only her slippers but also her toes.
"It's cold!"she curled up her legs to her chest.
"As if there is a storm tonight." Evidence for her words was shown by the strong wind that followed.
"There is no storm, baby girl. It's simply a phobia."
"Trying to trigger my fears, Ryxel?" She rose an eyebrow.
"Far fetched! Let's bet on it."
"I know this field more than you, Mister Mafia."
"What are you willing to offer if I'm right?" He challenged.
"Nothing!"
"You sounded sure. Are you scared now?"
"No. I just don't have what to pledge."
"I'll give it. I'll teach you how to swi-"
"I'll kiss you-" she interjected.
