Chapter 106 - A Lifetime Of Imprisonment

Brione and Gavin boarded a rugged vehicle and set off to a primeval forest filled with life-size dinosaurs. Brione felt a thrill as they rode along and hugged Gavin's arm tightly.

"They look so real," Brione gasped. The sound effects were dark and menacing. The sudden appearances by dinosaurs, in an attack mode, made her scream.

The vehicle made some unpredictable turns and made Brione's heart drop. Gavin seemed to enjoy the ride with Brione clinging hard to him.

As soon as the tour was over, Gavin looked at Brione and asked, "How about we go to the house of horror next?" 

Brione pouted and complained, "Ah, later, let's rest a bit. My voice is tired from all the screaming. I have to sing a special song in a variety show next week and you know I always perform live."

Gavin chuckled and said, "Alright, let's relax on a slow and peaceful ride. Let's ride on that ferris wheel next."

"Good idea," Brione agreed and they walked to the ferris wheel. 

"I want to take some photos," Brione commented and grabbed her mobile phone. They were alone in one of the ferris wheel cars, so it was safe for them to remove their shades and smile sweetly at the camera.

Brione enjoyed it when Gavin gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"You kiss like a kid," Brione teased.

"What?" Gavin exclaimed, his eyebrows snapping. Brione laughed and stuck out her tongue as she made a face at him.

"You…" Gavin beamed and pulled Brione's nape to give her what she was asking for. Brione accepted the passionate kiss from Gavin and wrapped her arms comfortably around his neck as she answered his kiss.

Both of them were breathless by the time Gavin freed her lips.

"Who would have thought you were someone who once had a fear of kissing?" Gavin teased in his husky voice.

Brione chuckled and said, "Now that you mention it… My doctor actually advised me to try accepting scripts with kissing scenes so we can find out if I'm actually healed or not. It might also tell us if you are the only man whom I could kiss"

"Damn that Doctor. You should replace him this instant! Why would he suggest such a thing? Being able to kiss me is good enough to declare that you are healed. Ditch that Doctor and I will get you a good one!" Gavin hissed, his nostrils flaring.

Brione laughed and said, "Hey, Rui is your good friend. You were the one who recommended him to me. Geez, if he heard you now, you will definitely get a sound beating from him."

"Huh! He will be the one to receive a beating from me for polluting your mind with the idea of kissing another man. I should meet the guy and scold him once we arrive in country D!"

Ganin stared at Brione through squinted eyes and snorted, "You, don't you dare kiss another man or accept any scripts with kissing scenes. I will smash the face of any man who would dare kiss you!"

"No wonder you wrote about being grateful for my kissing disorder, in your journal. You are glad because I can't kiss any other man? You're so possessive, huh!"

"Yeah, your lips are mine," Gavin whispered as he touched Brione's lips with his thumb and caressed them lightly.

"These beautiful lips are made to be kissed only by me, understand?" Gavin declared, his voice full of conviction before he leaned closer to capture her lips once more.

"We're supposed to enjoy the view from up here, Darling, not kiss like this," Brione murmured on Gavin's lips.

"Kissing you is better than looking at any views," Gavin whispered as he continued to feast on Brione's lips. Brione finally managed to bring her urge under control and gently pushed Gavin to stop.

"Behave, okay. Let's just enjoy this place" she scolded him bashfully and Gavin massaged his nape. 

"By the way, about the kissing scenes, even if you don't tell me not to accept any, I'm actually uncomfortable kissing random guys. So I plan to stick with how things are right now. No projects with kissing scenes for me," Brione confessed to soothe Gavin's worry.

"That's my Sweetheart," Gavin whispered as he pulled her into his embrace and the two of them enjoyed the view of the city from the top.

"Which ride do you want to try next?" Gavin asked. He grabbed the shawl and pulled it around Brione and then put on her shades. He put on his cap and shades as well as the ride was almost finished and they would soon reach the exit.

"We can only do slow rides because you are afraid of extreme rides." Brione teased nonchalantly.

Gavin crumpled his face and said, "Let's grab some mint ice cream."

Brione's face twitched as she mumbled, "It's still your favorite flavor?"

"I think so, why?" Gavin chuckled at her unpleasant expression.

"I don't know why you like eating that flavor. It feels like you're eating toothpaste whenever you eat mint ice cream."

Gavin laughed out hard and said, "It's refreshing. So later when I kiss you again you will taste my fresh breath."

Brione pouted as they walked to an ice cream parlor. Gavin bought her caramel and chocolate ice cream while he bought mint. They sat on the bench and Brione teased him about eating toothpaste again when he suddenly winced and dropped his ice cream on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Brione asked worriedly.

She was about to ask around for help when Gavin held her wrist and whispered, "I'm fine now, Sweetheart. It's just my memory, it's coming back slowly."

"Oh my God! What is it? Why are you crying?" Brione asked worriedly when Gavin removed his shades and wiped away his tears.

She pulled him into her arms and rubbed his back as she asked, "What is it? What did you recall?"

"It was you, I mean when you broke my heart, I ended up eating a lot of mint ice cream. I remember how painful it was and I felt the heart ache from when you told me that you could never see me again or want me more than your best friend." Gavin whispered in a croaked voice.

Brione bit her lips and whispered, "I am so sorry Darling. I promise I will make it up to you. I will never give you any heart ache or make you cry ever again. I will do anything you want me to. Please don't cry. You know now how much I love you."

"I demand payment for the damages caused. You broke my heart and it requires a lifetime of payment, Sweetheart. A lifetime of imprisonment in my embrace."

Brione: "...?"
