Chapter 35: Fall

(Samantha)
There is a glimpse of lushness in the area. The valleys, a very thick fog was blanketing it. The clouds seemed to cover the sight for a bit.
“Give it a few minutes the entire view of the farm can be shown.” Gregory spoke.
I stared at him. We were basically at the veranda. I was getting a breath of the fresh air. “I thought you went sleep already.” I uttered. He was tired from the ride in the bus. He clearly was uncomfortable but still managed to still make himself be comfortable.
Gregory shook his head in return. He went closer, he stood beside me. His eyes then went to stare at the valleys below. “This place is good.”
I can say the same. The area managed to adapt to the zero visibility that happens at times. It's the kind to be a hiking mountain. I straightened my back and took another inhale.
My mind suddenly brought the thought of how I wanted to brush the cold temperature with a hot drink. I turned my head towards Gregory. “I'll grab a coffee downstairs. How about you?”
He was thinking deeply. I almost don't want to disturb him.
He was pulled out of his introspection and his eyes went back on me. “Let's have it.” He replied.
We were sitting there at the kitchen table. We were sharing the cabin with Cassidy and Chase together with her Aunt Nina and her husband Tom. The place was cozy. Lots of wooden stuff. Then there's lots of wines stored too in there cellar. The couple were conversing. They were sitting outside, drinking their own chosen beverage. While Gregory and I were just sitting in silence, giving them glances sparingly.
We stopped talking. It's like we find comfort in being in silent. Together... It wasn't awkward, it wasn't uncomfortable. It just feels right. My eyes then went back to stare at him.
“I like their house.” I let my eyes roam inside. “This home's peaceful.” I talked. Gregory agreed. He nodded his head at me.
“You want to have a house like this too?” He asked with interest.
My brows raised. I smiled at him. “You mean a house near the valleys?” My smile widened as I see him nod.
I opened my mouth again to speak more. “I always love a peaceful surrounding. A house near the grasslands. Where there are flowers and vines growing. Trees that danced along with the wind. I always consider it as a sanctuary.”
I saw how Gregory looked like he was thinking something. I took a sip of my coffee when he's cellphone suddenly rang. I eyed it before I continue to take a sip. I waited for him to answer his phone. But he was staring at it. He then brought it before he turned it off.
“Why didn't you answer the phone, Greg? It must be something important.” I concluded.
He just shook his head. “It's nothing.” He looked away after his reply.
I bask in my silence and gave him a nod. I don't want to intrude much nor invade his privacy. But I saw the name and it wasn't from a man. The name clearly is from a woman. I shook the unwanted feeling off and I turned my head then I saw Aunt Nina and her husband walking towards us. I put a smile on my face when I saw them neared.
“We're planning to go out and picked up some fresh veges in the farm. Would you like to join us?” She asked.
I stared at my own husband who's eyes were already on me. We then have an agreement. I looked back at Aunt Nina. “We would love to.” I replied.
--
“Even with the advance technology on farming. They still managed to grow crops here that is pesticide free.” I said to Gregory. I was holding out the basket while he was the one who was picking up on the fresh strawberries.
I was literally staring at him. I noticed how he looked simple. He was wearing just a plain white shirt and a black pants. But despite the simplicity he's literally unconsciously flaunting his awesome physique.
Gregory then looked at me. He was still closer to the ground. “That's what happens when one is keen with biology.”
We both smiled after his reply.
I leaned down and placed the basket on the side. “Everything produced here is organic. I like it here.” I said at him.
“The growth of the plant produce here are also attributed to the climate in this place.” Gregory uttered. He handed me another freshly picked strawberry he had in his hand.
I just nodded my head at him and grabbed the fruit out of his fingers. He's near. We spent a quite some time together. But still, I still want to unearth more in him. I wanted to delve deeper. I wanted to know him more. I wanted to know more because I am already having this urge to get closer to him. I think, I am starting to developed feelings for my husband. I'm really liking him. I like him. 
I stood. Before I brushed an imaginary dust off of my pants. Gregory was stunned too. He was looking at me with a confuse look on his face. 
“What's wrong?” He asked. 
I shook my head. I can feel the erratic beating of my heart, almost clenching it. I winced upon feeling it. I looked only to see him standing. He was checking me. He suddenly went close and now its adding up to the feeling of the discomfort of not being able to breath properly. 
“Sam, are you sure you're alright?” He reached his hands and aimed to touch the wrist. 
I suddenly took a step back. Then again my foot failed me. My eyes went big. I'm falling again because I tripped. But then again, Gregory was fast. He caught me. His hands was fixed on my waist but then the pull of gravity was strong that he suddenly tripped on his own too. His reflexes was fast to change our position. 
I closed my eyes, we fell together. A thud was heard by my ears and I landed on something rock solid, Gregory's chest. 
I opened my eyes while his eyes were closed. I then began to took notice on how think his eyelashes are and that it suits him. Gregory moved his head for a bit almsor bumping with my forehead. 
He opened his eyes. We're staring at each other, so close. Our faces only inches apart from each other. We both stilled. While my hold on his shoulders tightened and his gripped on my waist were seemed to be in sync.
