When we got outside the gate we didn't stop running until we reached the junction of the street where the hospital was located.
We finally stopped to catch our breaths hiding under a shade in a narrow street by the express.
The street we were in was a bit lonely. People passed sparingly though but it was better than being on the express.
My hands were on my knees as I panted but my eyes were on his.
There was a smile on his face that I absolutely adored as he rested so smoothly on the wooden pillar of the shop as if he hadn't just run miles with me like wild careless children.
After about three minutes I was finally calm and breathing like a normal human being again.
I rested my back on the wall and smiled as I stared out into the street.
The street was like many others in Warri it was all muddy with boreholes.
Luckily for us rain hadn't fallen so recently otherwise we would have been very dirty.
I looked at my feet to see brown sand gathered at the tip.
"You look beautiful smiling like that." Scar complemented forcing my eyes back to him.
"What has gotten into you today?" I teased, cocking a brow up.
"How do you mean?"
"You've been complementing me since this morning. Did you just realize that I am beautiful or is there something you want." I winked.
Scar laughed a bit and I joined in. "Maybe I just want to make you feel better seeing that you are barely visible in that gown."
"You Bastard!" I cussed, throwing my head back in laughter.
I started to walk over to the pillar where he was not wanting to be so far away from him. Almost there my ankle twisted a bit but scar held me by the waist preventing me from falling.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"You like teasing me huh?" I added with a smirk.
We were barely inches apart now and I was looking up at him with my best smile.
"Of course I do." He chuckled lightly.
"You never get used to it or expect it and its so beautiful to watch." He caressed my cheek softly as he spoke with a wide grin on his small red lips.
"You know what we did was insane!" I giggled, feeling my heartbeat pace around a beat as many tiny creatures played in my stomach thanks to his eyes and hands on me.
"I love insane!" Scar replied with a smile of his.
He pulled me closer to him so that our faces almost touched. Then he tilted my head up so he could kiss me.
I was almost carried away but I remembered that we were in a public place.
When did I become so confident enough for a public display of affection? I wasn't.
I was not confident enough to kiss Scar in public. Even though I didn't care about what people said, there was still a part of me that cared because I knew my mum would.
Scar noticed my hesitation and placed a chaste kiss on my forehead. "I'm sorry babe I forgot that we were on the road and you are a mummy's girl."
"No it's ok. I'm the one who should be saying sorry." I smiled and kissed his cheek then pulled away almost immediately.
"And I am not a mummy's girl." I laughed, knowing that what he said was a bit true. I just respected her a lot and that didn't make me a mummy's girl did it?
Or whatever?!
"A part of me cares about what people say because of my mum of course, but I care about you more. Much more. People can go to hell with their judgements. Its my life and I'll live it the way I want to cause It's mine."
Scar smiled. "Until you see your mum and start running like a chicken under rain."
We both laughed out so loud now it was crazy. I hit his chest playfully. "You are such a tease."
He smiled and bent down so his nose touched mine. It was ticklish, I could not help but smile as he held my waist more possessively.
"Thank you Mira." He whispered, his breath on my lips. I felt a tingle run through my spine, and a smile that hurt my lips played on my face.
"For?" I asked, cocking a brow. My heart swelled at the beautiful moment we were sharing. It felt so surreal I never wanted it to end.
"For loving me." he answered caressing my face, his fingers moved from my ears to my lips, teasing me, setting me on fire.
I leaned into his hands not knowing what to say back to him.
His touch left me momentarily weak I couldn't think of a reply to give, my head was fuzzy and my breathing laboured. He was so sweet.
"My mum oh my God!" I exclaimed, jerking away from Scar.
