Chapter 306: Reiner - Just Like This
“Natalia...look this way,” Reiner said sternly.
Curiously, I turned around to see what he wanted. Water splashed onto my face and the front of my shirt so fast that I didn’t have time to react. I silently thanked whoever invented waterproof eyeliner and mascara as I closed my eyes and felt the water run down my face.
“Reiner!” I yelled his name as I reached down into the stream and began splashing more water his way.
“What do they like to say? Something like...you started it?” Reiner said while laughing a little at me.
The water felt so much colder on my face and body than it did when I touched it with my hand in the stream. The wind blowing against my face just made the water feel that much colder. I burst out laughing at the situation that we found ourselves in. Splashing water one each other like we were carefree children. It was so fun, and I felt so free just to be playing around with Reiner like this.
I couldn’t remember the last time that I laughed this hard. Even if it was only for a moment, I was glad that my burdens seemed to have lifted. Reiner’s joyful laugh filled my ears, and I could feel my heartache for him.
“R...” I called his name as I ran towards him and flung my arms around his neck.
He’s so tall I had to literally jump up on him to hug him like this. As expected, Reiner large hands held my waist and carried me up so that I could reach. I kissed the side of his neck softly as I wrapped my legs around his hips. The wind on my wet skin and clothes felt so cold but Reiner’s body made me feel so warm.
“Your shirt is all see through now...” Reiner said with concern.
