The next day of the discovery I finally noticed that she was the attendant of the dessert counter both breakfast, lunch and dinner and that she was the one baking all the sweet things with the help of another older woman. It was surprising how many things I didn't saw just because of my hurry every meal. She noticed me too because I started to take for breakfast and dinner everytime a simple piece of cake and I decided that maybe, instead of going out of the trees and interrupt her while she was dancing, it was better slowly know her here and see if she enjoyed my presence.

To me her presence started to become precious and also I started to see day after day her strong "will" come out at precise moments. Like Lee, I could see the Spirits of the people around me, their energy or their true form, it's hard to find a definition, but normal people usually don't have it or someone can have it but small, without form or active only at times. This was the case but more special and I was truly fascinated: she had a strong and big will that showed when something unfair happened into the kitchen it seemed. And also it showed when she was dancing alone there into the nature … I didn't keep going there because I didn't want to take from her that private moment anymore. I decided that if I wanted to see her dancing again it would have been when she would dance for me.

After a week of her simple smiles and "Thank you" as response I decided to ask her more and to hear her voice say something else from the usual cordiality of serving a big Champion of the League.

"The usual simple cake please … can I know your name?" I asked gently but directly.

She remained surprised by this, her kind face showing clearly her emotion: she must have thought "What importance have my name to such a great person?" and "How should I respond?". Finally she spoke and finally I can start to know her, I hope.

"My name is Lhiea, I am really happy that my cakes are good for you … sir."

Being called "sir" gave me the cold chills, I hated that and I realize how polite she was. I don't want that, I want to be called by her with my name.

"Can you call me Udyr please? I really enjoy your cakes and your decorations so much that I'm starting to become addicted to them" and for the first time I tried to smile at her. I'm not really a smile person but it came naturally and she … watched me with big eyes surprised and smiled at me back, and not a courtesy smile but such a warm smile. That sent the right chill to me in one second.

"Well then, I am sorry but I'm not going to make less delicious cake. But I can keep on making them and always have a slice for you …" she said and started preparing one.

She responded to me joking and happily. That was astonishing.

"Thank you so much" I said and returned at my seat happy.

So at mornings and at evenings we would chat a bit while she prepared a slice of cake for me, I started to know her and to talk more after the dinner, even if not everyday because of my duties. I always tried to be the last on the room to take a dessert so that she would have time for me. She was from Ionia but had a grandmother from the Shurima desert, she loves baking but had others jobs where she lived so she took the opportunity and became a cook at the Institute to try make her passion her only job. She was polite, simple but playful and smart. I was sure that what I was felling was strong strong attraction, I loved every move and word of her and she seemed to feel curiosity towards me too.

I also started to miss seeing her dancing, while working she always wore the employees clothes while when she was alone she was dressed most of the times with a white dress without sleeves and with a long skirt with two cuts to show her long and beautiful legs that seemed so soft. I wanted to see more of her. I wanted to hear her voice say my name.

So one day I asked her "Lhiea, would you like to go to a walk at the central garden together after your turn of work?" and she stopped cutting the slice. She smiled at me like I loved to see and kept preparing the plate. Maybe I did too much? I thought to myself… This was the only way to get closer… I did the right thing, I had to try.

She handed the plate over to me and kept smiling, she took longer for it and then when I took it she turned around and started cleaning. I was really confused and went to my seat, that was for sure a "No" and that hurts. I watched my plate and finally I saw it, she made a small write on the plate with a red firm cream near the cake: "Yes, wait for me".

She arrived at my table and she came closer to me, other Champions were still into the room and I saw someone of them watching her. It must have been a strange picture me being approached by an employee.

"Lhiea … aren't you too much tired? Otherwise another time it's ok" I said to her strongly while standing up.

"No it's all fine and a relaxing walk would really help me" she was happy and I could see it clearly.

We walked out of the meal room and did some corridors with big windows, it was a nice late evening and the sky was clean. We exit from a big stone archway and took the main path that lead to the center of the park, I had to listen to her thought about the newest discovery of a new race in Ionia and I understood clearly how she was a peace lover and hoped for a better future for everybody. I think I should have expected that given how much righteous she is.

"I am really grateful Udyr…" she said without warning and I stopped walking. She said my name and it sounded so good.

"All ok? Did I do something wrong …?" She asked quickly and worried.

"Not at all, I … I waited more than a month to hear my name said by you" I reply sincerely and she looked confused and embarrassed.

"Why… why is it important?" she hesitated "I thought … Is there a strong meaning?"

"I really enjoy staying with you Lhiea and I want to pass more time together and know each other better and …" I concluded with confidence "… closer"

She opened her eyes with surprise and became a bit red, her face was illuminated by the last light of the sun and she was beautiful. She opened a bit her lips but didn't say anything.

To calm her down I said "What about we reach the center and we sit there for moment?" and she nodded.

She looked embarrassed but not worried, just a little thoughtful and lost in her mind. I started walking again and she did the same, staying close to my shoulder and I couldn't stop watching her. She watched me back and her eyes were so clear: happiness, curiosity, unsureness but serenity were there in her green eyes.

We sat down on a bench under a tree and a magic light and I spoke again "Those words surprised you?"

"Yes they did, I … I am nothing special, just a baker and normal girl and yet you, a special man, are interested in me?" she said confused but directly. She was really a strong woman, she didn't avoid the discussion and she is here asking quietly her doubts.

"You are special, from the first moment I saw you I remained shocked" I stated.

"A month ago, you said early …" she looked curious ".. but we meet two week ago almost"

It was right, she didn't know about me and Lee Sin watching her and how I searched for her, I explained everything to her. How I knew her and how I went to watch her dancing until I found her, I wanted to be honest with her. And when I finished she was red all over her face watching me timidly. I smiled at her. And that shocked her, her face changing in sudden surprise and it worried me.

"Why are you shocked?" I asked concerned because the fact that I watched her secretly didn't had that affect at the beginning.

"You don't smile at all, I only saw you smile at me two times with this and it was really …. Really special and exciting." She said lowering her tone by the end of the phase.

She feel the same way for me, I was sure of it now.

"I feel the same way when you smile at me sincerely" I stated at her directly "But I also like how you smile when you dance. So … can I ask you out like tonight some other times?"

"…" she remained silent and then "How about also you come to see me dancing in that secret place all the time that you want?" She said coming a bit closer smiling. She was testing me and I didn't backed at all, I waited too much.

I learned towards her too and I moved my hand to her face, placing it on her cheek. It was the first true time I touched her and she hesitantly hummed at it, moving a bit into my palm. I couldn't resist, I moved fast and before she realizes we kissed, feeling her lips on mine was wonderful. She was sweet and hot. I had close my eyes but then I opened them to watch her and she had the most exciting expression I have ever see. Her eyes were merely open and her cheeks red, I interrupted the kiss and kept watching as she watched me back and moved her lips apart to breath, an "Ahh" escaped her.

"Can I keep going?" I asked holding my breath and keeping our lips close.

She smiled at me and that made my heart race. "Yes, please yes..." watching me with her green eyes.

So we kissed again and again, with even more passion and I loved how she was submissive and let me have full control of everything. I started to open her mouth and explore her. Her tongue jolting when I put mine into her and a moan welcoming me. That simply pushed me to keep going, all myself and my body enjoying her and pushed to do even more … but I had to stop. Even if I would have already gone further maybe this was all too much for her, and taking things slowly maybe was for the best. So I departed a bit but, to my surprise, only to be chased and kissed quickly. She truly was fantastic, she watched me worried but with hot and lustful eyes.

"So I assume you feel the same?" I asked with a light tone, curious to hear her response to my questions remained unanswered.

"I fell the same and I would really like to pass time with you Udyr and know you better …" she seemed like to say something more but too much worried to say it out.

"Tell me Lhiea, don't be scared."

"Tomorrow you can come if you want and we can pass time together there" She finally said with decision to make me understand how much she wanted to. This all wasn't too much for her and finally I could see her dancing for me, my heart raced and I felt happy.

"Then I'll come for sure" I said with a low lustful voice and she smiled brightly at me.

Then a dark thought stroke me " Lhiea … aren't you a bit intimidated and scared of me… mostly for my physique?"

She looked perplexed but immediately responded "No why would I? I … I like how you are … I like you and … you … being so manly and strong really caught me off guard both at the beginning and now … in a really good way I mean … I mean …" she was panicking a bit because of the embarrassment and she was looking at the ground at her feet, a bit red on her face.

I laugh and smiled at her "Then I am relived …" I said bringing my hand over to hers, she kept them over her skirt "I like you too, thank you" I concluded.

"Why do you thank me?" she joked and we kissed deeply again and it was the best. Her hands over my shoulder and mine around her hips, finally getting closer with our chests . Her smell, her softness driving me crazy for more. My clothes hiding how much excited I was and I decided to depart sadly from her again.

"So tomorrow there at the hidden place?" I asked happily.

"Mhh mhh" She said as a yes and I propose to her to go back as she must have been tired.

I didn't want to rush things. I needed to be patient and careful, I couldn't control myself if we stayed there longer hugged. I wanted to do all the things right for her.
