"I love you. You know that right?"
A caramel skinned teenage boy said as he tangled his fingers in the girl's brunette hair. She had her head laid on his bare chest.
"Nino, you tell me everyday. Ever since we meant."
"Do you want me to stop?"
He asked fearing that obsessively saying 'I love you' was annoying her.
"Never."
She said as she scooted up to kiss him. He was the sweetest man she ever knew. Their letters were meaningless rambles compared to them meeting.
Nino looked at the beauty who laid on top of him. She wore a necklace. A necklace that was unique as her. She wore it when they first meant.
She was dressed in peasant clothes but he couldn't love her any less. When he first called her name, her heart stopped. They knew then that they would give up everything for each other.
That very night the did but the room she picked shocked him. It was a noble's room or so he thought. It was caked in shades of oranges. The door was even orange with a golden fox head door knocker. He fear the punishment but he couldn't leave her to face such a punishment alone.
He got up and walked around the room gather both her clothes and his. A wrath of the higher ranking class he knew all too well. He was whipped and chained before and swore he would never be again.
"Whose room have we stumbled in?"
He asked more with worry then with curiosity. She however was not at all worried. He thought that she must have nerves of steel.
"Volpina's room."
She replied as she watched him get dressed.
"The Priestess Volpina?"
He said, his faced flushed of any color. Not only was his safety endangered but her's as well.
"We can run. I know Prince Adrien. He can provide us with resources to hide."
He told her who just grabbed the peach colored robe off the bed post and wrapped it around her nicely figured body.
She walked over to him and stretched her arms around him.
"Your cute when your all worked up."
She stated as she kissed him before sitting down to comb her hair.
"Why are you so calm?"
He asked her and she just grinned. She grinned a devious grin. There was a knock on the door.
"Priestess Volpina, are you ready for your morning tea and caramel?"
A servant behind the door asked.
"Come in."
She ordered to her lover's surprise the servant came in and sat the tray on the table in front of her.
"That is all."
She dismissed. The servant bowed then walked out.
"Your The Priestess?"
Nino remarked feeling both relieved and betrayed. She blew the steam off her tea before responding.
"I wasn't always but the Fox tribe was in ruins because of thieves of other countries. So, I was given the chance to help so, I took it. I'm still Alya Césaire."
He put on hand on each side of her face and kissed her.
"Did I ever tell you I love you?"
He didn't know what else to say or do with this information.
"I love you too."
She replied back. Glad he took the news better than she thought.
