~*~*~*~
In the master
bedroom of the Gi Seng Jib, we see two figures embracing each other. They
weren't naked and they weren't sweaty, however they were turned on as heck.
Zel, understanding how Lina felt just went as far as necking and frenching, and
other romantic thing that substituted oral sex and the actual intercourse. Lina
was glad of that. She sure wasn't ready for it at all.
Lina looked up
at Zel and smiled. "Thanks for you know not going all the way…"
"It's fine with
me."
"Although…I have
to admit one thing." She grinned impishly. "You are a darn good kisser."
Zel blushed and
stammered, "Whatever. You were too…for someone with not that much experience."
She playfully
shoved him and scowled at him. "Me? Inexperienced? Oh give me a break. What do
you take me for? A little girl?"
"…" Zel
chuckled. "I never said you were a little girl. If you were that little and not
a girl, I wouldn't even give you a first glance!" Yeah right. Even if she
was young, I'm sure she'd be attracting everyone's attention with that fiery
attitude of hers.
"So what do I
call you from now on?" Lina smirked. "Because I am not gonna call you Mama or
any of that formal junk here."
"My my. Someone
wasn't brought up right here." He noticed how she seemed to hate all these
formal stuff. She's unusual. She doesn't bow to elders or nobles, or me for
that matter. She is way outspoken and she uses profanity at me! I wonder if
something happened when she was younger or something…
"Oh shut up!
Like all nobles are bred well!" Lina spat out bitterly.
"…" Zel had no
real comments to that. That is true. Some nobles here are brought up so
wrongly that they just make me sick. Like Xelloss…
"So what should
I call you?"
"Just call me
Zel. Simple enough for you?"
Lina snorted.
"So you think I'm not formal, just because my mind is simple?"
Zel realized
that he just made another psychology move without knowing it. He decided to
play along with it and see what the outcome is. "You said it, not I."
"…" Lina stood
up scowling more. "Fine then! I guess I have to prove to you that my mind is
more complex than you think!!"
Zel sat up.
"Alright then. Let's see how formal you can get."
Lina backed away
and stared down at him. The moonlight was shining through the sliding door. The
soft lights covered all over her and that made her look more delicate and
lovely than usual. Zel took in that image and stored it in the back of his
brain. Damn…she did look beautiful with the moonlights surrounding her.
Lina continued
to look down at him for a few more second. Few lights that escaped past her,
shadowed him in the dark and that made him look enigmatic. Even though Lina
didn't find him as the enigma type. He really does look sexy…he got that
slim figure, which, that stupid nobleman outfit is like hung over him. Why do
they have to make those outfit so baggy and all…
She raised both
of her arms, and brought her hands to meet together. The hands went in front of
her face and she started to bend downward. She kept going downward till the
bottom parts of her, met the floor. She soon just bended her back and bowed to
him. She stood up slowly, her hands never leaving in front of her face.
Zel almost
forgot to motion her to sit down. He did it hastily. And she sat down slowly.
She smirked at him. "So what you think?"
"Wow…where'd you
learn to bow like that."
"Peasants learn
etiquette too you know!"
"…" He sighed.
"Sorry. Didn't mean it like that. But wow…you bow better than most of the women
at the palace."
"I do?" She
raised an eyebrow. "You have got to be exaggerating here."
"No I'm not." Okay.
She has got to have some kind of noble descendants in her…
"So tell me."
Lina leaned over. "What's it like at the palace?"
"Boring."
"Now you have to
be definitely exaggerating on this one." Lina rolled her eyes. "If that's true,
then no wonder you and that friend of yours always sneak over here for some
midnight fun. Which I think is very stupid, but let's not go there."
Zel laughed.
"That might be it. But trust me. The palace is boring all the times. I get
dragged into a lot of conferences and all we do is debate on the stupidest
things. I sometimes ask myself, how much more stupidity is there on earth. Not
to mention Xelloss, who's the Dae Gam drives me insane. He wants me to marry
his daughter and there is no way in hell am I gonna marry her!"
Lina giggled.
"But there must be something that keeps you sane. I mean I don't think the
whorehouse can keep someone sane all the time."
"Yeah. Two
things keep me sane. Valgaav and the courtyard."
"Ah. Val? The
other guy?"
"Yeah. My best
friend."
She nodded. "I
see. And how does a courtyard keep you sane?"
"Simple. It as
But Ggoch everywhere." As he mentioned 'but ggoch', Lina's eyes gave off
dreamy, faraway looks.
"Wow…I'm
originally from the south…so those happens to be my favorite flowers."
"So that's how
you know about those…I was wondering about that."
"If you were
wondering, why didn't you ask?" Lina teased.
"Because…I
didn't want to be rude!" Zel smiled widely.
"Formality is
always with you eh?" Lina shook her head and smiled.
"Yep." Zel
played with her fingers. "So…want to get some sleep?"
"Yeah…" Lina "I
am tired…"
"Well lets get
couple hours of sleep. I have to leave before dawn breaks. Val and I have to
sneak back in."
"No problem with
me. After that I'm leaving this stinky whorehouse." Lina grimaced. "Why did I
bother coming here…"
"Where you going
to go?"
"Somewhere. Been
migrating since I was 10."
Zel raised an
eyebrow and stared at her. She can't be more than 16. Does that mean she's
been on her own since 10?
Lina laid down
on the mattress. "Enough talking and more sleep."
"Zel was about
to nod, when he heard light snoring sounds coming from her. He sweatdropped. She
must have been tired. Then again so am I…
The last thing
Zel remembered, was falling onto the mattress next to her…
