Primordial Soul's Rebirth

The clouds are an accumulation of tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. They are something that we can't touch, like gas.

We can't see across them, but if we try to touch them, all we feel is moister in the air.

So, is it possible to lay on the clouds?

Traditionally, no. But with magic and mana, everything is possible.

Right now, Alex was lying on the clouds with his head resting on Ann's lap as Ann continuously combed Alex's smooth hair with her fingers.

Alex didn't do anything special; he simply made a platform of air just above the clouds.

Making it possible to sit right above the clouds.

The gaseous cloud was all around them, giving them a cool and pleasing feeling as they enjoyed the silence until Alex spoke.

"You like the view?" Alex asked with his eyes closed.

"Yes, it's lovely and soothing at the same time…." Ann replied as she looked at the sun going down on the horizon, giving a last peek at the world before it went down.

They were sitting above the clouds, looking at the view below.

They were currently in an area filled with mountains and the peak of those mountains almost pierced through the clouds.

The sun that was setting also seemed to be peeking at them from between the mountains.

Unlike the noises of people and the cars that you will find below, above there was calm and quiet.

Occasional sounds of birds passing by just made the atmosphere more natural.

"How did you like the date then?" Alex asked with his eyes still closed.

"It was the best day of my life," Ann spoke as she looked down at Alex's face with her eyes gently looking at Alex.

"Good to know…" Alex muttered.

Unlike Alice's date which was like a date, anyone would think of when they hear the word date, Ann's date was a bit unique.

Ann wanted to visit the highest peaks of the Orange Country.

Alex just raised a brow at her demand, but he listened to her nonetheless.

Ann, however, was in the mood for some thrill since she jumped from the highest peak toward the ground once they landed on it.

"Help me!!" She would shout like that as if she fell, and Alex would just go and save her.

Ann wanted to feel it more, but Alex stopped her.

"If you just want to do something like that, then allow me to help you."

Ann agreed to Alex's offer as she wanted to see what he had in mind, but she was left wide-eyed when Alex did what he wanted to do.

Alex started flying with Ann, and it was not just flying like he usually does, he was moving really fast.

He was moving so fast that Ann forgot to count how many times they broke the sound barrier.

But she did feel her blood rushing, just like she wanted.

No one knew about it, but Ann loved speeding and heights.

She wanted to become a pilot, but the gates appeared and everything went haywire.

Even after that, she hoped that she could somehow awaken a flying skill, but she didn't, so she settled with the assassin profession.

Ann's reminiscence about her past came to a halt when she heard Alex speak again.

"You know…." Alex started before he opened his eyes and looked into Ann's eyes which were looking right on his face.

"There are many things about me that you don't know…." Alex said with an unreadable expression.

"I know," Ann replied with a smile.

"But I still l-love you…." Ann started confidently but by the time she reached 'love', she stammered and averted her eyes with a rosy blush on her face.

'Huh?' Alex was shocked for a second.

'Wasn't it my job to say that?' Alex thought inwardly.

[She sure is daring….]

Sophia commented causing Alex to chuckle.

But then he noticed Ann fidgeting with nervousness.

He didn't reply to her, after all.

She somehow proposed to him on the spur of the moment but now she was dying from nervousness.

"Thank you for loving me," Alex spoke with a smile.

He decided to tease Ann a little, but then he saw her eyes tearing up, so he sat up straight and quickly pulled her in a hug.

"Just kidding, just kidding, I love you too, Ann. I just wanted to tease you a little.

I am sorry, really…."

Alex hurriedly explained himself, while hugging Ann tightly.

He didn't think that his joke would have such effects.

'Ah, this is all new for her as well….'

Alex then realized it.

Ann might not be shy like Alice, and she might be more mature than Alice, but she is still inexperienced in love.

He continued to pat her back as she clung closer to him.

Alex didn't need to guess how much effort it would've taken for Ann to say those words, and now he felt guilty for trying to tease her like that.

"You are really sorry?" Just then Alex heard Ann's muffled voice.

"Yes," Alex replied instantaneously.

"Then say it again," Ann muttered as she moved out of Alex's hug.

"Say what again?" Alex questioned.

"Say that you l-love me again…." Alice muttered as she looked into Alex's eyes with her teary eyes.

"I love you, Ann, I love you more than you can think of, and my love for you will never decrease, only increase more and more-" Alex sincerely confessed to Ann, but his words were cut short as Ann jumped on him.

"I love you too!" She exclaimed before she hugged him tightly with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for coming into my life…." Ann muttered as she kept hugging Alex.

Alex waited for a while for Ann to calm down as he patted her back, when Ann finally calmed down, he lifted her head by holding her chin.

"I still feel lucky to have met you, Ann, and I would always feel the same, so I should be the one thank you…" Alex spoke softly, causing Ann to smile gently.

They kept looking into each other's eyes before they started closing in, and before they knew it, Ann was sitting on Alex's lap with her legs coiled around his waist and her hands around his neck.

While Alex was hungrily devouring Ann's lips as his hands started roaming over her body.

But then Alex stopped kissing by resting his forehead on Ann's forehead, causing Ann to freeze, and tears were about to well up in her eyes.

'Am I not good enough-'

However, before Ann could come up with some conclusion on her own, Alex spoke up.

"I need to tell you some things about me first…"

'Ah…' Ann sighed in relief when he heard his words.

"Oh, ok," She just smiled as she still remained seated on Alex's lap with her legs around his waist.
