Memory Of Love
Part 45's

After they finished enjoying her lunch, and then continued on her way, Casey spent the rest of the time on the trip with more sleep.

However, every once in a while, when Casey awakens, Aaron will surely be busy asking, and making sure that Casey still feels comfortable.

Until for the next time, Aaron finally pulled over his car, until it stopped on the side of the road.

"I'm fine" Casey said.

"You wake up often. I think, maybe because of your uncomfortable sitting position" said Aaron.

Aaron seemed forced to check the seat of the car where Casey was sitting, and almost set the backrest, but Casey immediately held him back, saying,

"Not necessary ... I've been sleeping too much."

Casey actually set the seat backrest, so that it can sit upright.

"Is it far away?" ask Casey.

"No ... I think, in about an hour, we're there" replied Aaron. "Do you want to eat something? Orange or apple."

"Orange," said Casey.

Aaron then moved to the rear passenger seat, seemed to pick something up there, and back to sit in its original place, while thrusting two orange fruit to Casey.

"I bought it earlier, when we stopped by the refueling station," Aaron said, without Casey needing to ask.

While Casey peeled off the orange peel, Aaron then continued driving his car on the highway.

"Are you not tired?" casey asked, while feeding a piece of orange to Aaron. "We can rest for a minute."

Aaron seemed to be busy chewing on the orange in his mouth, before he finally said,

"Balind responsibility ... Just rest there later. I want to see the sunset with you. Do you want to?"

"Hm ... Okay!" sahut Casey's.

"Casey! ... Did you not have a bad dream?" ask Aaron.

"No," said Casey. "Why?"

"It's okay ... I just remember that time," Aaron said, apparently bringing up the incident, when Casey traveled with him, to check out the new branch construction site.

"You don't have to worry about me too much ... If I feel like something's wrong, I'll definitely tell you" Casey said.

Aaron turned to Casey for a moment, but he said nothing, and looked straight ahead again.

***

They had already arrived at a Beach and Vacation Resorts belonging to Hamilton group, faster than Aaron had expected.

The sun was still quite high, as Casey and Aaron walked into the hotel, and got their own rooms, which were just next door.

In the room given to him, Casey only had a chance to look around the facilities for a while, because Aaron was waiting for him outside.

Plan to see the sunset, they will do, while taking a leisurely walk on the beach.

Casey's sandals, and Aaron's shoes, were then placed near two benches, which were in the shade of one of the beach umbrellas there.

And before Casey made his way to the shoreline, Aaron suddenly held back his steps.

"Wait a minute!" said Aaron, then crouched in front of Casey, and folded up the legs of the trousers worn by Casey, up to almost to the knee.

"I can do it myself" said Casey, tying his hair, so as not to get tangled and messy, because of the sea breeze.

"It's okay ... Let me do it for you...!" sahut Aaron, who then folded his own trouser legs.

"In this way, we can play water" continued Aaron, with a big smile.

"Pffit...!" Casey laughed restrainedly. "Thank you."

"How long has this place been established?" casey asked, walking slowly with Aaron.

"It hasn't been a month yet" replied Aaron, who clasped Casey's hand tightly. "What do you think of this resort?"

"Good ... Private beach, who wouldn't like it?" casey said, giving his assessment.

"Hm ... The Roberts group also has resorts like this, right?" aaron asked, then bowed, and picked up a seashell from the sand, then gave it to Casey.

"Yes ... The other one is in this town, and the other one is abroad" Casey replied, looking at the shell, which was light brown, and looked shiny.

"I once visited a resort that was overseas, with Grandpa, during its inauguration. But I've never been to a Roberts group resort, which is in town," Casey continued.

Casey was quite surprised, because it turns out that the shell still contains its inhabitants, who are seen removing their small legs from the shell hole.

"Geez!" casey said, and almost dropped the clam from his hand.

"Pffit...!" Aaron laughed, then hurriedly took the clam from Casey's hand, and returned it to the sand.

"Wait here! ... I think I saw something." Aaron then walked further towards the sea, until his trouser legs were almost wet due to the waves rolling towards him.

Aaron rolled up his shirt arm, then picked up something from the water, and looked towards Casey with a big smile.

"Batrick!" said Aaron. "Do you want to see it?"

Smiling, when she saw Aaron holding the starfish, Casey nodded her head. "Yes!"

Aaron then goes back to Casey, and shows the starfish he found, to Casey.

"What is this non-toxic?" ask Casey, curious.

"No ... Looky!" Aaron pointed, while touching the protrusions at the top of the starfish that looked blunt. "If he's a sharp thorn, then it's definitely poisonous."

"But...." Aaron then looked like he was looking for something, looking over and over, until Casey was confused to see it.

"What's wrong?" Casey then looked around.

"If Patrick's star is here, then it should be, Spongebob or Squidward are also nearby," Aaron said, then glanced with the tip of his eye toward Casey.

"Haha!" Casey who realized that Aaron was joking, finally laughed off there.

Aaron held onto one of Casey's cheeks, and stroked it slowly with his thumb, until Casey stopped laughing, and looked at Aaron with eyes.

"I wish so much that I could see you laughing like this every day" Aaron said, with a glare in his eyes.

"I will try my best so that you never feel pain or sadness. And you can enjoy your days with happiness" Aaron continued, smiling faintly, and holding his gaze on Casey.

Casey who felt awkward, then thought to tease Aaron, to stop treating Casey with such attention.

Casey then attached the starfish to Aaron's arm, until the attention of the man, immediately also diverted.

"Hey...! That star Patrick can suck blood...!" aaron said, slowly.

"Ugh? ... Really true?" casey said, flinched.

Casey panicked, then immediately tried to get rid of the starfish that had been attached tightly, by forcing it to pull it, until it slipped from Aaron's arm.

"I'm sorry.." said Casey, full of regrets.

"Pffit...!" Aaron laughed stifledly. "It's okay! ... I'm just kidding."

Aaron who was smiling widely, then hugged Casey tightly, saying,

"Even if you always try to be hard and firm, but you can't hide, that in essence, you have a soft and loving heart."

Gently and slowly, Aaron kissed Casey's lighthouse for a while, then continued saying,

"I love you, Casey...! And I have to be honest with you, if the truth is true, I'm not at all sure, if I can let you go, if you don't choose me."
