Part 14: Rocking the Car
Ben never failed to surprise me. One day he came home telling me he had plans for the weekend, and he mentioned this place should remind me a lot of my hometown in Penang.
Algarve is located on the cliffs, surrounded by the sea. It is breathtaking for those who enjoy such views.
I knew I would, and that's why Ben prepared our two nights stay carefully just so we could have the best times in our lives. He even picked some of the best restaurants there for us to try.
I had so much fun walking along the beach, taking selfies of us by the seaside and panoramic photos of the surrounding. Once in a while, I sneaked a peek at him, just as he was staring at the horizon, deep in his own thoughts.
I don't know how much he planned for this, and how much he spent for the trip at all. I just knew that he wanted to spend some time with me.
"You look nice with your hair a bit longer like this," I complimented as I walked closer towards him.
"You like it?" He smiled. "I thought it'd look messy."
"Maybe not too long," I said, while brushing his brown, wavy hair with my hand. "You should keep it this way."
He would need to spend more time in the morning to dry his hair before leaving home each time. He would look like a disaster if he needed to walk under the rain while working.
"Alright," he smiled again. "Let's keep it like this."
Then, suddenly he came closer to kiss me on my forehead.
As he was leaning to kiss, I caught the scent of his cologne from his neck. I grabbed him with my arms around his waist and held him instead.
He liked it when I was being clingy. He enjoyed every bit of my childish acts, especially when I did them to express my feelings.
