" Scarlet ,wake up . "- I heard Mark whisper in my ear .
" Why , "- I mumbled with my eyes still closed .
" Because I want to go and take my bath , "-
" Then go, "- I mumbled and tried to return to sleep .
" You won't let me go , "- he replied with a slight chuckle .
" Liar "- I mumbled and squeezed my pillow even harder .
Pillow ....
Pillows don't have flesh ! or soft curly hair either .
I swallowed hard and slowly untangled myself from Mark's arm .
I squeezed my eyes shut so he won't suspect anything and still assume I was half asleep .
" I know you're awake Scarlet , get up . " - he whispered in my ear . I stubbornly continued to pretend as he began to kiss me all over the face . I felt him kiss a corner of my lip which made jolt out of bed and ran out the tent with me breathing heavily .
I heard him laugh inside . I calmed down after a few seconds and went to take my stuff to bath .
" That did the job , didn't it ? "- he remarked as he also began packing his .
" Shut up , "- I replied with a smile and ran out again .
I began walking to the same direction Maya and Beatrice guided me through yesterday .
Oww ! - I mumbled when I felt something sting me , leaving me itchy at the spot later .
Oww ! - I yelped again when it continued .
" What's wrong ? "- I heard Mark ask as he inspected my leg .
" Some tiny insects have been stinging me , "- I answered and scratched my legs .
" Mosquitoes , I'm guessing "- he replied and sprayed a can of something on my legs .
" And what are --- mosquitoes ?"- I asked with my hand pointed to the can .
" You mean mosquito repellent ? "- he replied with a shrug then sprayed his legs too with it .
" So when they sting you , do they like cause sudden death . "- I asked with all sense of seriousness .
He laughed so hard at my question he tripped but the selfish two faced boy couldn't stand to fall alone as he held my waist and brought us down together.
" What is wrong with you ! "- I said in between laughs as I got up from him and ran to the river .
" Why do you keep running ? "- he mumbled and chased after me .
" Why are YOU following me , do you want to watch me take my bath ? "- I asked when I saw him lying under a tree .
" Nope . "- he replied with a sinister wink .
" Disgusting , at least turn around . " - I yelled and splashed him with the little amount of water I have left .
" Turn around ! "- I yelled and playfully hit him .
"* Beep * you Mark , "- I remarked pushing him further away .
He sat there dumbfounded and watched me walk away .
" Where did even learn such a word ! "- he yelled after me . Obviously calmed down .
" Is it something bad ? "- I asked lingering around the river .
" Do you even understand the --- what ? "- he asked with a shiver .
" No but I only know it's an insult since my dad used to use it a lot , " - I replied with a shrug .
