If only it was an Illusion!

Chapter 18 : Can the jungle end ?

He pointed towards me " Because I have no right to rule over you. You are no one to me in this jungle just like you said ", he placed his hand in his pocket " Not my girlfriend, not my wife and not my sister, why would I want to push my opinion on you. Every one of us possess freedom of expression and choice "

"Right! ", I agreed dissatisfied.

"That's what I said, I am always right ", he messed his hair "So if you now agree, let me take the lead. Just follow me ", he kept his attention straight. I knew that I had seen enough of his good side last day and night and I was eventually prepared for this. We walked silently for a while, my slippers were losing its grip since they were definitely not meant for trekking.

"There's a lake there ", he pointed towards it, his eyes shined in the sun and his cheeks showed a shade of redness due to excessive exposure to heat. He looked adorable even in this dirty white teared up shirt.

"I see ", I turned my attention towards it " But its okay, we can tidy ourselves up after we reach home safely ", I commented

He pouted "Are you always this dumb Miss Waters, we can drink water from this lake ", I looked away embarrassed on my blonde statement.

"Come on now ", he pulled me towards the lake. He sat on the big rock placing his ass on it, he washed his face with the water and continued the same with his hands and legs. The water didn't look very clean to me so I just stood there. He joined his palms, filled water in them, and drank it.

He raised his brows "Are you not thirsty ", he stood up finally and sighed. He looked refreshed and relaxed. I shrugged showing confusion on my face.

"This water is quite muddy though ", I filled my palm with some water showcasing the mud.

"If being a billionaire, I can have it for survival purposes then why not an ordinary girl as you drink it ", he never failed to blab about his wealth but this time he actually made sense but I didn't want to express that to him.

"That doesn't mean ordinary girls drink muddy water ", I filled the water in my palms and took a sip of it "To every ordinary girl " I tossed. The water tasted salty but fine enough to compromise for the condition. I smirked at Mr. Reynolds and drank another sip of it . "can I confess something honestly ?", I interrogated.

"Yes ", he nodded signaling me to carry on.

"Do you hear some noise ?", I generally questioned.

"No. What does it sound like ?", he questioned back so I pointed towards my tummy "You hear the growl, do you?

His facial expressions turned worse from the bad . I definitely needed to work on my lames when in Mr. Reynolds's presence. I never ever thought before speaking until it created serious circumstances . This quality was passed on to me from Francis, Gina always objected at our lames but ended up laughing anyway.

"If you can shut up for a minute, I can think something ", he wiped off the sweat from his face. The weather was very humid and moist, the sun shined brightly on top of my head causing it uneasy for us to walk.

"yeah, take up the lead ", I directed him to move ahead. "Don't forget I am hungry ", I confirmed first that my face was turned towards his back before commenting.

We walked for a while but then I stopped "Oh my God Mr. Reynolds, look up there ", I grabbed his hand preventing him from walking anymore. He looked towards the tree where red apples were hanging.

"They're way too up ", he tried jumping to behold the apple but failed miserably. He continued doing it but there were no successful results obtained through his actions.
