Chapter 21

I didn’t know if this was a normal reaction. But, we are friends. Eileen asked with some regret.

“Then can we try one more time?”

I wasn’t sure, but kissing between friends seemed to be in the pleasant category. So, if we tried one more time, wouldn’t we know more accurately? Richard kissed Eileen’s lips again as she looked up at him. As soon as her lips were separated, Eileen lifted her heel and kissed Richard. He looked a little embarrassed, but it was only for a moment, and he immediately accepted Eileen’s kiss.

‘This is what it feels like.’

The soft and warm texture mixed with warmth seemed like something I would never get tired of no matter how many times I tried it. The more you put your mouths together, the more it tickles your stomach.

I wanted to keep in touch with him. After several kisses, Richard raised his head. Because of the huge height difference, if he didn’t bend down, no matter how hard I lifted my heel, I couldn’t kiss him.

“Shall we go look around the tower?”

“Great.”

Eileen nodded, although she felt regretful. Richard had completely forgotten the purpose of observing herself. Eileen followed behind, but could not take her eyes off Richard. I felt the urge to pull the shaking hem of the robe and kiss him one more time, but I suppressed it.

‘I think I’ll find out if I do a little more. I wasn’t sure what I was learning, but that was how I felt.

Eileen didn’t know if she wanted to do more or if he wanted to do more. At that moment, Richard reached out his hand as if to grab it. It also tells you to be careful of the threshold. Eileen held Richard’s hand and wondered if he had noticed the pounding I was feeling. That’s how time passed at the tower. Every day was a different and enjoyable day. Eileen was completely absorbed in her life with Richard.

‘I had fun today too.’

Eileen experienced the sea for the first time today. She and Richard splashed and played together on the white sandy beach. Leaving my mark by stepping on the sand, the rising sea water.

It was an even more special experience as Richard was there to soak the feet. It wasn’t just the sea. In the past few days, Eileen has ridden a camel in the desert and visited a place called an oasis. It was truly amazing to see a large pond with palm trees growing in a barren desert. Above all, I remember how cool Richard was in his pure white robe.

‘Oh, I’m tired.’

Playing in the sea required a lot more physical strength than I thought. After finishing dinner with Richard, Eileen went straight to bed. My whole body was tired from having fun during the day, so I thought I would be able to fall asleep right away today. But no matter how much I closed my eyes, my mind was still intact.

‘It’s the same today too.’
