Recap:
"Hey, M.K… Do you want to stay now that your friend is back?" Nod whispered.
Back to the story…
It's been two whole days since he asked that. Honestly, I don't think I could answer that yet. Would I leave him just because my friend is back? She's been my best friend since I was little. Well, Yullie was my only friend. Nod just entered my life and swept me off my feet.
Ah, well. No use in dwelling upon such a topic. I mean, come on, who has time for this when I have to make sure Nod doesn't screw up things again? Yes, I did say again.
While day one was easy for Nod, he had a lot of trouble these past few days. Nod's already blown up a toaster, caused a fire on the oven, and made the computer crash. You would think he would carry around a caution sign by now.
I'm dragged from my thoughts when I hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom. At least he knows how to use showers and sinks. Apparently, they do have bathrooms similar to ours' in Moonhaven. I'm guessing most of those bathrooms are in the palace or in the guards' homes because I never saw one when I was there.
As the brush gently untangles my hair, my heart stops as I hear a song coming from the bathroom. Is that Nod? I walk quietly out of my room and press one of my ears against the door of the bathroom.
"Where the wind sweeps away the night,
And children wake at morning light.
None shall pass,
Upon these blades of grass.
Where angels' song is short and sweet,
And everyone has something to eat.
When stars shine brightly in the sky,
And no one has to say good-bye.
Rest peacefully among the trees,
And take in that beautiful breeze.
This is the most wonderful place,
Don't you see?
The people are known for grace.
Moonhaven is the land for you and me." Nod ends quietly.
I walk back to my room while his song ran through my head. Moonhaven is the land for you and me? Did he write that for me knowing I would hear him? Or was it a lullaby his mother sang to him? Either way, I feel like I invaded something precious.
He must really love me to sing something so sweet knowing that I could hear. I wonder if he was too embarrassed to sing it to my face. It took him a lot of guts to be able to sing like that. Honestly, I admire him for it.
The shower stopped while I was starting to sit down on my bed. Lovely, I hope he didn't realize I listened to him. It would be a hard thing to explain. I can't just say, 'oh, hey, I had my ear pressed against the door while you were showering. Nice song by the way.'
Nod walked past my door in nothing but a towel. Wow. I didn't think he worked out that much. He has a clearly defined six-pack and his arms are accentuated by the muscles on them. Can Nod become even more perfect than he already is?
I swear I must have been drooling. Nod started to chuckle at me and stepped in after closing the door. My eyes widened. Uh, oh, Lord help me. Nod takes a seat beside me before picking me up to place me on his lap.
"Uhm… hi.." I said with very little confidence.
"Hey, so, is there something you would like to say to me?" He asked patiently.
I thought about it for a moment before replying, "Where did you get all these muscles?" Yes, I poked at them to emphasize them.
Nod laughed, "It's called being one of the queen's soldiers. Now, are you going to say what you really wanted to say when you first saw me like this?"
My face fell and I mumbled what I really wanted to say.
"What was that?" Nod asked.
What? Was he expecting me to say it out loud? HELL, NO. I mumbled my reply again.
"I didn't hear you…" He frowns.
I growled in frustration, "You're hot."
Nod smiled and kissed me feverishly. Damn, why do I have to be so stubborn? I should have just told him in the first place. My arms quickly wrapped around him as I moved to straddle his waist. His hands gripped lightly on my hips. We unfortunately had to break for air some time though.
"I… uh… sorry… I don't know what I was thinking. Your father would kill me if he saw this after he told me to keep my hands to myself." Nod rushed out of the room after placing me gently back down on the bed.
I'm so going to kill my father for threatening my boyfriend. I mean, hello! That could have turned into one of the best nights I ever had. Stupid over-protective father!
