Ok so I'm back with more of my Amazing-ness, It took a LOT of work with this chapter, I have a whole plan of this story but those little details are kind of difficult ,but thank you all so much for your feedback, I loved it all and am always happy to read more.
I try to reply to your reviews as soon as possible.
and I am SO SORRY for the late update.
hope you all enjoy
Gently I kiss his lips once more ,his arms tighten around me and tears fill my eyes as I tear them off of me trying not to wake him.
I hold them back best I can , taking an extra candle from his closet I light it and place it in the candle holder.
I take my shirt from off the floor and use it to wipe away the mess from his chest ,I find his outfit folded neatly in the corner and I try my best to put it on him without waking him up, I know the Ale in his system will help me with this by keeping him a sleep.
Finally I make the bed around him, taking my clothes off the floor ,I place a bookmark in his book and close it, tucking in his chair ,I take my candle and leave, erasing all evidence I was there.
I couldn't find it in myself to say goodbye to him.
After all you can't say goodbye to someone who wasn't even there...
My clothes return to there place at the back of my closet along with the sailcloth ,hanging neatly ,hidden behind at least a dozen cream dresses and different coloured waist sashes .
I take out the hair tie and pins, letting my hair fall back to my shoulders ,I brush a few stray away from my face and turn to the door.
Feeling Ghirahims cum sliding down my inner thighs ,I know I have to bath again, which is good.
I knew I was going to have to do something extremely demeaning ,but I couldn't exactly hide in my room till her left.
Reaching for the robe I used this morning ,I took a box of matches with me and silently walked to the bathing room .
Taking the box of matches I lit a few candles for light before going into Kina's bathing cupboard.
Skimming though the seemingly never ending bottles of oils ,soups ,perfumes and shampoo's, I am overwhelmed by all the different smells.
my breath catches in my throat as I hear the door open, scolding myself for being so careless,I tighten the robe on my body.
"Lin? What are you doing here?" I sigh in relief turning to face my friend.
"Sorry Kina, you scared me...I'm just...um, well I kinda spilled some pear juice on me and now I'm all sticky ,I thought maybe a bath would help."
" Don't lie to me Lin ,I know your secret," Kina tells me confidently ,taking a step forward.
"What are you talking about? I don't have a secret."
Kina smiles at me, "Come on I know your trying to impress whats-his-name .That was why you didn't want him to see you on that day, you want to make a good impression to your old friend."
"You are absolutely right. Can't lie to you," I smile tensely .
She pushes me aside , "Here let me help you," She starts looking through the selection ,naming them as she passes some to me ,"Honey soap, Lilac shampoo ,and... Ah almond bath oil."
"could we do something more..simple? Maybe just some plain almond everything?" All those different smells mixed together didn't sound like a very good idea.
I remember Zelda used to smell like lavender but only a little, she put two drops behind her ears and that was it, but it was enough for me . "Trust me Lin, if you want attention you have to stand out, besides after you use it, it wont be too overwhelming, I promise."
Taking a deep breath ,I trust her and pour some of the oil into the bath.
"I'll see you in a few hours Lin," Kina says before shutting the door which I lock behind her.
Shedding my robe I get into the hot water ,my legs are a bit pink from the heat but I ignore it and got to washing the cum off my thighs and bottom before spreading the sweet honey smell to the rest of my body.
The shampoo really did smell nice, not something I would wear normally but... I will admit I kind of liked it.
The honey smell lingers after I rinse off the suds ,and the Lilac seems to blend perfectly with the hint of almond.
I didn't want to put back on the old robe considering it had a bit of dried 'fluids' on the back, so I took the light purple one , leaving my hair down, it stuck to my neck and face.
While walking out, I nearly forgot to blow out the candles, before going into my room and collapsing on the bed exhausted, not caring that I was getting my pillow damp.
Closing my eyes I accidently fall asleep, sprawled out on my bed.
"Hello?..." I am alone in the darkness...no..wait...
"Hero.." The goddess is only a few feet away from me.
Bowing, I almost loose my balance ,looking at the floor I find myself on a rope.
"Hero, come forth to me."
I take a step forward towards the goddess, her white dress glowing brightly in the darkness.
"Link!" Ghirahim yells out.
"Ghirahim?!" Looking down I see him below me, his smile seemed to shed rainbows.
"Jump down, I'll catch you."
"But.."
"Link, do not give into him . Come forth and finish your destiny," she reaches out her hand to me and a transparent blue floor starts to appear.
"Link! don't leave me!"Ghirahims face starts to fade under the barrier .
"Hero?"
"Lin! time to wake up" I jolt up ,finding myself back in bed.
"I'm up," I yell back through the door, my throat hurts a bit.
Wiping my eyes I find them damp, along with my cheeks.
Ignoring it I yawn and stand up, stretching my arms I suddenly hear a pop .
Lazily, I throw the robe onto the floor and I pull on another dress. Taking a deep purple waist sash, I tie it in place.
I slip on my flats just as the door opens-
It had become a bit of a tradition for Kina to come in the morning and help me.
She brushed my hair and braided the two little braids that I immediately tucked behind my ear, then added a bit of darker red lipstick.
"Well lets go, we have a full day," Sighing I mentally prepare myself for the day.
We went down stairs and into the kitchen ,"Kina ,I need you to get me more pumpkins from the shed- and Lin you start taking orders and checking on our sleeping guest."
Kina sighed "Well see you Lin."
I waved and walked to the round table first to Keet who was clearly bored now that Kina left, I take his order that was plain pumpkin soup.
Next was Rusta. I smiled at the man, he always had a story to tell and never let anyone get to him.
"How are you this morning Rusta ?" I ask.
He was much more entertaining then Keet.
"Fine Lin, now how is Pumm cooking his eggs today?"
"Poached or hard boiled," I answer.
"I shall take the boiled ,and a serving of soup."
"Alright," I write down the orders for Pumm and place them on the counter.
Taking a deep breath I started up the stairs before stopping at Ghirahims, door knocking lightly.
'Please, please don't recognize me'
I take a step inside to find him rubbing his eye's sitting on the edge of his bed ,his hair is ruffled and his pants are half on his hip, his belt on the floor beside him, one of his gloves only half on his hand (apparently I didn't do a very good job of re dressing him).
"Sir?" the door closes.
He waves his hand dismissively before pulling his glove fully on, "Yes, yes I see you ."
"Would you like a bit of help Sir?"
"Huh? Oh.. No ..actually could you tell me if there was any sighting of a Skyloft boy entering here?"
I tapped my chin biting my lip," well there is Keet but he's been here everyday since I started here."
"Never mind," Ghirahim says gruffly after a moment, clipping his belt back into place.
" May I take your breakfast order?" I ask, thankful he dropped last night.
Ghirahim picks his cape off the floor and swings it over his shoulders ,surly about to give me a sharp remark he finally looks at me and pauses.
Under the pressure of his eye I awkwardly bush away some non existent wrinkles in my dress, my cheeks turning a bit pink.
"I don't eat breakfast," He says finally , walking away and sitting at his desk.
I know better then to pester him about things he clearly wishes to keep to himself, but I cant resist .
"Excuse me for this but you don't look like your from around here, are you from the surface? A traveler perhaps? Or a pirate?!" I ask faking enthusiasm.
I hold back a smile as I see him gripping his fists in annoyance before pushing the chair away turning to me abruptly.
"Excuse me, I am being uncivil. Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Demon Lord of the surface I am Lord Ghirahim though I am not fussy without my title," He takes my hand in his and kisses it gently.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Lord Ghirahim, I am Linette," I didn't want to give him Lin yet ,he might get...suspicious.
"I should probably get back to work ,is there anything you need before I go?" I ask.
"No nothing."
I give him one last glance before leaving, he's acting different then his usual self.
Stepping out of the room I ignore his new found demeanour, I mean it wasn't any of my business anymore..
The rest of the day was the same as always, I didn't see Ghirahim almost all day.
It was slow that day ,even Rusta went home early, Keet stayed a bit longer to help Kina with carrying the pumpkins to the shed but eventually went home just before sunset .
Only when everyone was gone did Ghirahim come out, he would eat an order of soup before returning.
This routine continued for three days till one night, after Kina and I did the dishes and swept up ,only after we finished did the famous demon lord emerge from his room .
"Just when I thought I could turn in early, Lin could you Please take this one?" Kina wined quietly looking to me with begging eyes.
"I'll finish up, you just get to bed."
She smiled brightly and hugged me before running off to bed not waiting to find out if I would change my mind.
"I'm hitting the sack too ,you make sure to blow out all the candles and Gently put out the chandler ."
"I'll be sure to do it as gently as possible," I assured Pumm.
After he walked out I poured a bit of leftover pumpkin soup into the freshly cleaned bowel and took a spoon, putting out the fire I then set the soup on the table in front of Ghirahim.
"I suppose you would like a glass of ail with this?"
"Yes."
I stood and watched him down his glass, just barely touching the soup.
"I thought you said you were a lord.." I said quietly .
"I am," he sighed.
"Then why are you drinking and moping about?"
"Linette ,Do you believe in second chances?"
I pause, "It depends, if the person really deserves it then I guess I would be willing..."
"Well a lover of mine didn't think so ,I lost it and he left.." He looked pathetic sitting on the barstool.
"Was he just a lover?" I ask ,my voice quivering.
He roughly brushes stray hairs from his face back to meet the rest of his hair ," Yes ,that's all he was Meant to be, but somehow I still can't get him off my mind. It's like he burned himself into my brain, every time I close my eyes he's there, he's in my dreams, I'm not me anymore ,I have tried to busy myself with work but he was still always there. It feels like he's a ghost ,always haunting me ,I wish his voice would stop playing over in my head- because every time I hear it I can't breath. It's like..." standing up abruptly he knocks over the chair.
"It's sounds like you miss him" "Yeah.. But you are right, this ail does nothing and I still have things to take care of . I will be signing out tonight."
He snaps a money bag onto the counter before walking out the door, leaving me feeling rather empty.
"This is stupid! I left him!"
"I'm glad he's breaking down!"
'Why did you try and help him?'
"He hurt me!"
'You're hurting him more'
"I hate him!"
'Then why do you hurt this much?'
"I DON'T KNOW DAMN IT!" I take the vase from the my nightstand and throw it at the wall making it shatter.
I start sliding onto the floor, my back against the side of the bed. Tears are running out of my eyes ,I try vigorously to wipe them away only to have more come faster than the last, blurring my vision.
I feel miserable, the floor is more comforting than this bed .
This isn't my home ,I am a fool for trying to make it something it isn't. Sure this was my choice but it isn't what I wanted. I know he will never truly love me, but somehow as long as I am with him, I know I will be ok.
This is something I want...
I am back.
I feel a bit light headed, I don't know if it is because I am doing something so rash or because I had cut off all that extra hair.
At the moment I don't even care because I am going home.
The clouds are dark and heavy below me and the wind is strong but I fly, hoping it will be better underneath them.
I dive from the point underneath Skyloft ,emerging through the thick gray/black clouds ,I found water pelting me as I fall .
Worried my sail cloth wouldn't work if it got too wet ,I release it just seconds before hitting the wet ground beneath me .
"Ghirahim!" I scream into the darkness of the stormy night.
I can barely see anything but a dark shadow slowly growing bigger.
I stand silent, as I stare at him, he takes a step closer.
"Link.. I want to-" I punch him.
I punched him with all my might in that one blow, his body staggers backwards.
Throwing myself forward ,I tackle him to the muddy ground, "You Bastard! you were part of the reason I became the fighter I am and just because you lost it once doesn't mean anything ,I chose this, I knew what I was getting into ,I can take care of myself."
I take a fistful of the white fabric from his shirt, I pull him upward towards me and kiss him hard before letting go, breathing heavily.
My bangs are plastered to my forehead from the wet falling water, I don't know if I am crying or if its just the water droplets rolling down my cheeks.
Ghirahim sits up ,his deep brown almost black eye's meet my ocean blue ones.
My whole body is shaking and my fingers and toes are numb, but I don't care.
Flipping us over ,Ghirahim fierly kisses me, his gloved hands sliding over my body as if to make sure I'm not a ghost.
"I missed you," He tells me over the noise of the rain and wind.
" I wont leave as long as you don't ."
Ghirahim smiles a bit kissing me again, I open my mouth ,our tongues hug each other tightly.
"I can't feel my fingers," I tell him through my shivering voice.
He shows a look of concern ,"lets get you inside ."
Snapping his fingers we are inside the living room, "Stand by the fire and warm yourself while I go get blankets and towels."
I did what he said, looking out the closed window next to me, it was amazing.
"You like the rain?" he asks.
"Rain.." that's what it's called, it never rained above the clouds so I had never scene it before.
Ghirahim helped me with my clothes and dried my shaking form, pulling a blanket over my shoulders.
I sneeze and Ghirahim hands me a tissue ,I don't remember ever being sick.
"Drink this, it will help with your cold and it should be gone by morning," Ghirahim told me handing me a mug and pulled me to the couch.
It had a bitter sweet taste to it but trusting him I drank as much as I could before I started to doze off.
Sighing ,I leaned against Ghirahims chest contently .
I was Finally home...
And that's all for this chapter.
