Sleeping with the enemy

Chapter 9

By waterbendergirl

"Can I look?" Bloom asked, annoyed that Baltor's hands were still covering her eyes. He had taken her out of her room suddenly and had promised her a surprise but she couldn't look until they were at their destination.

"You're so impatient you know that?" Baltor laughed, pushing her in the right direction. Bloom heard a door opening and felt a soft breeze against her skin. "Baltor, where exactly are we?"

"Look for yourself." He whispered in her ear. She carefully opened her eyes, not sure what to expect but she was amazed by the view that stretched out before her. A beautiful garden , adorned with red roses and irises, trees – full of blossoms and nearby a blanket spread out on the grass. It had a basket on top of it.

Baltor took her hand and guided her to the spot, he motioned her to sit down while he opened the basket, it revealed to be full of food and sweets. "I know I'm not the romantic kind of guy, but I'll try to be one – just for you."

Bloom smiled softly , her cheeks flushing light pink – Sky never had done something romantic for her. "I think you're doing a good job" she said while she bit in a strawberry.

"But you know" she started "it could be even more romantic if you added some candlelight."

She had barely spoken at the words before Baltor made a quick motion with his hand, making little candles appear around them. "I was already one step ahead of you" he smiled back.

"My, my, Baltor, I like this side of you." She laughed.

"This can't be right." Tecna said while resetting the compass again.

"I thought you knew exactly where Bloom was" Sky hissed through grinded teeth , while grabbing Tecna's under arm.

"Sky back off will you" Timmy shouted, briskly pulling Sky's grip on Tecna's arm lose – he knew Sky was worried about Bloom but attacking others physically wasn't the answer.

"I don't understand either" Flora said " the plants are telling me she walked this path, but on some point it just stops."

"I got the same problem, the compass directs us to the location Bloom is , but on some point it just turns around and directs us back to Alfea."

"Don't you recognize this girls?" Layla asked glancing around, "we've seen this in class, it's some kind of spells that makes you forget while you're heading, well in this case the compass and the trees forget where Bloom is."

"Well we don't have to say who's the nerd around here – do we?" Stella said mockingly , but no one could bring out a laugh.

"Grow up Stell" Musa shouted.

"That's it – it's a reorientation spell." Layla said.

"But how can we avoid his effect?" Stella asked.

"I think I have an idea" Flora smiled.

"So I flew across the room, straight into the wall." Bloom laughed – she was telling her silly anecdote again , the one where a spell backfired , making her smash into a wall.

"You're not serious"

"Yes I am, and I'm forgetting the worst part – If this would have happened in private lessons it wouldn't be so bad but this happened in groups class, in front of all the others. I didn't dare to show my face for a week." She laughed, swallowing down the last bit of apple pie.

"You have some , um, wait I'll whip it off." Baltor said as he leaned in to whip the small piece of pie on her face.

They were dangerously close to each other, Bloom looked down - if her cheeks weren't red from telling her embarrassing story they sure were red now. Baltor lifted her chin with his finger and right when he was about to plant a soft kiss on her lips a raindrop fell on his cheek. They both looked up, seeing other raindrops falling to.

"I didn't count for this to happen" he said as he helped Bloom to stand. "We better go inside before were completely wet."

Hand in hand they hurried inside, unfortunately Baltor had chosen a quiet spot, far away from the mansion, when they had reached it they were wet to the bone. Baltor closed the door rapidly behind them, not wanting to get any more rain in.

"That was refreshing" he laughed, he turned around, surprised to see Bloom standing so close behind him. She stepped closer and placed her hands on his chest – you could clearly see the outline of his muscles now the material was wet. She moved her hands up to cradle his face.

"Let's continue what we started outside" she whispered in his ear before planting her lips on his. Baltor immediately responded, placing his hands on her hip and on the small of her back. She moved her hands down, to pull of the wet blouse. Baltor smiled against her lips and moved so he could buckle her knees, picking her up bridal style. He moved towards the bedroom, to do something he had wanted to do for a long time – their lips never parting.

"You're sure this will work?" Stella asked.

"I don't know, our fairy dust can do almost anything so normally it will help us to locate the exact point of the spell." Flora said , reassuring her friend.

"Enough talking, let's do this now" Layla said.

"Fairy dust" the five girls screamed together.

Bloom awoke by the few sunbeams – making their way through the window. She turned around, expecting to find a certain someone lying next to her, but the spot was empty. She looked up to find her lover standing in front of the window, he seemed lost in his own thoughts.

"You're up early" she spoke when she climbed out of the bed, stepping towards him. Baltor was amazed she wasn't afraid to show her own body as she walked towards him naked.

"Come here" he said, while pulling her against him and wrapping the sheet , he was wearing around his upper body, around them both. He nuzzled his face in her hair, inhaling her sent.

"I love you"

Bloom pulled away a little, gazing into his eyes.

"It's okay if you're not ready to say it back" he said, while playing with her hair. "I can wait."

"No , it's okay" she whispered "I think I'm falling in love with you too."

Baltor pulled her even closer, embracing her – as if their bodies could melt together. Bloom leaned into his touch, enjoying the warmth that was radiating from his body.

Suddenly Baltor stiffened. He felt his spell weakening. They were here.

Well , seems that the winx found Bloom, will she go back with them or will she stay with Baltor, guess you'll have to wait and see. I'm sorry to inform that I won't be uploading in 2 weeks because I'm going to France.

Sorry :x
