I have been staring at her since I woke up… probably… two hours ago. I didn't feel the time pass. I was too amazed by her clean and smooth face. She moves about when I move a little farther from her skin… I do not want to provoke myself… When I'm content from the little space that separates us, I close my eyes and then I'll feel her body brushing against mine again. She even snuggles more closely than the last time.
I sighed in defeat. I've been trying to contain myself of hugging her to death because of the hormones rushing inside my body. I felt her hand on my waist, I stiffened… her hand curved through my waist, and her palms were on my back… she pulls me closer, her other hand on my chest.
I don't know what this woman has that no other I've ever met or seen compares to her… or even level up to what she is. She has a strong will; do what she pleases without second thoughts, strong mind; understand things in her own way, strong heart; she doesn't cry, a strong magnetic force that magnetize people to her… and a strong charm… an irresistible one.
She's very different as I can see for the past weeks that she have lived with me…
I think she's a woman with a though courage to break… she even had the courage to stood me up! The highest ranked monk! Well, a corrupt one… and a very not-very-monk-like…
She moans… and snuggles to my chest… I haven't notice earlier, her head was currently resting on top of my right arm.
I can't think of any answer to my questions… the question was 'how' and 'when' and 'where' she had easily gotten my trust, my words, entered my life… entered my entire being and even my very soul.
I lifted my hand and brushed it to her face. I wonder how the hell she could have made me like this… when did she have tamed me… and where did she made me give up my walls…
Most of all… How, When and Where she melted my ice barriers… the barrier that had been up since the death of my master… the barrier that helped me to battle enemies… the barrier that I never allowed anybody to trespass to… but she did.
I rounded my left arm around her waist and called her, "Hey… Wake up." I whispered.
Her eyes slowly opened, she stared at my chest and, I think she blushed, looked straight into my eyes.
"Hi." She greeted me with a crooked smile.
I leaned closer to her and let my wet lips brush with her dry ones. She arched a brow and her eyes were enormous…
"Hn." I replied with her greeting.
"What was that?"
"A morning kiss."
"I know… but why?"
"I don't know… I just felt like it."
"Oh… What time is it?"
"I don't have an idea."
"Should we get up?"
"We have to go to the village market."
"Whai?"
"Because… I have to buy you new clothes."
"Oh. But I really don't require to buy… I'm all right with the robes and—"
"No. I insist. I never take no for an answer. Monks don't take you dangerously because they think you a Tony."
"A tony?"
"Yes."
"Do I have to prove them that I'm not a 'tony'?" She moaned.
"Well… no, but I want you to. Come on."
She sat up and I followed her. I was the first one out of bed and I walked to the bathroom. I touched the door's frame when she called me…
"Sanzo…" I turned to look at her…
"Why do I have to be dangerous?"
"You have to be dangerous so that nobody will dare touch you and you'll need that in order for them to take that I'm bedding you…"
"Oh…"
I entered the bathroom and I heard her shriek, "BEDDING?!"
"SANZO!" She shouted at me and I heard her footsteps nearing the door. I grinned.
"I'll be out quickly. Then you can take your turn… Or do you prefer taking bathing with me?" I grinned even more… She was silent…
~~~~~
As I said, I quickly finished bathing… I wore a black loose pants and a blue tee shirt. She goes in without looking at me, she was still blushing and she came out after twenty minutes.
"What are you wearing?" I asked as I investigate his clothes from head to toe and back. She was wearing a knee length skirt and a pink-loose-long-sleeves blouse.
"It's what I was wearing when I first came here." She explained and I mouthed 'o'. I approached her and she smiled at me. I slid the door open and let her go out first.
~~~~~
We walked past the looks of the monks…
Gossips quickly spreads… even the village might know.
She was holding onto the crook of my elbow… both hands were slightly gripping my arm… and she was hiding behind me… I sighed. I never expected this…
~~~~~
As we got out of the temple, I heard her sigh… a very relieved sigh. She lets go of my arm and walks by my side. She glanced up at me and smiles… I nodded at her and we proceeded on going down the steps of the temple…
Luckily, when we got into the village… nobody stared.
I picked out a store where I heard was a famous store of women's clothing.
I opened the door and we went in.
I looked around.
"May I help you sire?" I looked at the source of the voice… It was a young woman. From her physical, er, structures… she was at least the same age as her…
I pushed her into the young woman. "Anything that will fit and look good on her, either formal or informal." The young woman nodded at me and I think she even winked at me……… Women.
I spotted a chair and I sat down…
I waited…
Waited…
Argh… waited.
"What do you think?" I heard a voice and I looked up. It was the young woman and I looked at the one beside her.
I think I was drooling… who wouldn't be? She's wearing a 'short' shorts and tight fitting sleeveless, which is showing her cleavage…
I looked up to her eyes… there was hope and waiting on her eyes. "You look perfect." She smiled gleefully. She then bent down and picked up four bags of clothing.
"It's too much…" She told me.
"No, it's not much… I believe it'll only be sixty pieces… and you need more… and put those down."
She did put the bags down and looked at me. "It will be brought up to the temple so no need to carry them." I explained and she nodded with a smile.
"Let's go." I offered my hand to her and she took it. Then she turned to the young woman.
"Oh, and don't even think of winking at him again… nor anything that has to do with him." She smiled. "Let's just say he already has things to take care of." She turned to smile at me.
I sighed… a very happy sigh.
~~~~~
We've been walking around the village and we haven't decided where to stop for a while… I was totally exhausted with those men slobbering, looking intently, staring at her legs and eventually going up to her br--... I should leave that at that.
"Where do you want to stay for a while…?" And as if she read my thoughts… she glanced up at me.
"I don't know… I was hoping you would tell me." She nodded.
"Let's go to anywhere with food." She stated.
Somehow,… she wounded like someone I know… "Of course."
I lead her to a famous restaurant… it wasn't elegant but it has great quality when it comes to food.
We seated at the center of the place… it was the only table vacant. I pulled her seat and let her be comfortable before I sat on my own.
A man soon came and, again as much as I hate it and want to prevent it, he was looking at her… with lust. I was just about to bring out my gun when…
"Please stop looking at me or you could keep staring in exchange for you eyes being pulled out by me. Choose." She smiled at him and he turned pale. I nearly smiled at that.
"I'll have two beers." I told the man in a very irritated voice.
"I think I'll have that too…" I looked at her.
"What?!" She asked me… as if she didn't know why.
"I do have a right to drink."
"Whatever."
The man came after a short while, he placed the beers in front of us and two glasses.
I poured the beer into my glass and she did too. We placed the bottles down and took our glasses. She was intently staring at it.
"Have you ever drunk alcoholic things before?" She looked up at me and smiled… she then stares back at the glass… I take that as 'no, I haven't and what the heck is this thing? It looks like slime. Eeew.'.
~~~~~
"Let's go back to the temple… You're drunk!"
"I am not."
"Yes, you perfectly are."
"I said, I am not."
"I said, let's go back to the temple."
"Will we continue drinking there?"
No. "Yes, we will."
"Then let's go!"
~~~~~
"I thought you weren't drunk?" I quizzically looked at her.
"I am not. I'm just dizzy coz it'z my firzt time to drink."
"That's the same."
"No it's not."
"Where are you taking me?"
"I'm taking you to take a bath."
~~~~~
I looked at her as she played with the bubbles on the bathtub. I was crouching down so my face was just the same level as hers.
She turned to me with serious eyes.
"Truthfully Sanzo, I'm really not drunk. I promise." She smiled at me again.
"Whatever."
"Sanzo?" She looked down into the tub.
"Thank you for taking me in… and buying me clothes… and being nice to me…"
Nice? Since when have I been nice to other people?
"And for taking care of me."
"It's nothing…"
"But… why did you take me in?"
"I felt like it."
"Oh…"
"And thank heavens I listened to that feeling."
She looked up to me and smiled. "I'm glad you did."
Then I felt her arms around my neck… hugging me close… I wrapped my arms around her waist and closed my eyes…
I felt the how's, when's an where's filling up my mind again… Like… How ever did this woman made him so… so vulnerable… When did she made him feel like this was forever… and Where was the spot that she touched that made me so soft…
"Are you nice to me because you want to bed me?" She suddenly asked, I pulled my head from her neck and faced her.
"No. I'm going to bed you because I'm nice." She chuckled at that reply. "and,"
"I'm going to bed you because I want you to be mine."
