-Chapter 2
When Erol and I got over to my place, I set his suitcases next to my couch in the main room. I live in a high class appartment near the Baron's palace. It's pretty decent. Erol went over to the leather couch, sat down, and sighed. I sat next to him, and turned on the TV. We both at the same time relaxed. I scooted over closer to him. "How are you feeling?" Boredly, he said, "Weird. I don't have anything on my head. So used to having that helmet on my head I forgot how it felt for air to freely pass through my hair." He said smiling, trying to be boring and funny at the same time.
I smirked and laughed a little bit from the funny remark. He then put his arm around me so I could be real close to him. I curled my legs onto the couch and leaned my head against his head and shoulder gently. My heart was beating because I've never been so close to him like this. It's that feeling you get when you really love somebody. We've all felt it. His wounds seemed to have suddenly healed immediately. It must have been the herbs I put on him. They don't heal the flesh wounds completely until after a couple hours.
For whatever reason after a few minutes cuddled up togeather like that, he took the remote, and turned off the TV. I looked at him wondering what he was doing. Still leaning on his shoulder, he leaned his head on mine. "Laona.. I have a few things to say to you." "I'm here to listen." I said softly. He then closed his eyes and sighed. " When I saw you coming after me after when I ordered you to get the shipment of eco out of there, I was worried, angry, and happy at the same time." My heart sank. " But I am very greatful now that you came for me. You saved my life back there." He started stroking my hair. I knew what he was trying to say, but I just denied myself because nobody's actually loved me, but I couldn't help but think it.
" I like being around you. No.. I love, being around you. And.. Quite frankly, I don't feel like 'Just a friend' anymore. Laona..." I knew he was going to say it. So I just got closer to him a little more. "I... I Love you." He paused. "You're the best thing that's ever happend to me. I.." He paused thinking about if he's going to end up having a lover, or a big red print of a hand from a very hard smack. But he then made his choice taking the risk. " Oh come here!" Then I got something I DIDN'T expect!
He kissed me smack dab on the lips! My eyes wide open in surprize, with his closed. A couple seconds went by, and I closed my eyes and responded, kissing him back. His other hand held firmly on the corner of my shoulder. About 30 seconds later, Erol broke the kiss. We departed slowly, opening our eyes at the same time, slowly."I love you too..." I giggled. There was a hint of him blushing on his face. But then he smiled weakly. "...Another thing I want to tell you.." I was very curious about what he was about to say. I couldn't think about anything else but what he just did. "Happy Birthday." He smiled and then kissed me again briefly. I double blinked in imbarrasement and blushed. "How stupid can I be.. I forgot my own birthday!" I said feeling dumb. Erol smirked and laughed. "Well I reminded you now, didn't I?" We both laughed.
I yawned, looking at the clock. "Shit! Man it's that late?" I said in disbelief. He looked at the digital clock, "What.." he said boredly. "It's like, 2:00 in the morning!" I said slightly angry at myself. "Oh." He then layed completely down on the couch, hogging up the whole thing. "The better reason to get to sleep." I looked over at him, smiling half way. I then pretended he wasn't there then yawned, and I layed down right ontop of him playfully. "Hey!" He laughed. I moved myself next to him, closest to the wall. There was a small opening in the wall above the couch. I reached into it, and grabbed a blanket and two big pillows. In the meantime, Erol sat up and took off his shoes, and shirt, only wearing some pants and a white sleveless T-shirt.
He shaves his arms and armpits and puts on deoderant, so it wasn't all hairy and smelly as you would expect a guy to look like when he almost never takes off his uniform. I did the same thing, but my shirt was actually a tank top. I then extended the couch to form a queen sized bed. We both got in it and snuggled up to eachother. Then I lifted my hands and clapped twice. All the lights went off. Erol then said, "Wow a clapper. That's useful.." I scoffed, "Yea!" Then about 10 seconds later he said, "..Laona?" I moaned, "yea?" My face was covered from the pillow. "Where's the restroom?" He whispered.
That morning... Erol was holding me in his arms. He woke up first, just staring into nothing, just waiting for me to wake up. He doesn't like to inturrupt things like that with me. When I finally woke up and joined conciousness, everything was just settled. Almost nothing motionless. I found his hand and held it. "Morning.." Erol says, stretching. "Morning." I smirk. " Yesterday was just strajomowmmmphh..." I made no sence when I was mumbeling. I just dug my face in the pillow and clung to Erol. He laughs and says, "What?" I uncover my face and look at him with one eye open and smiles looking like a little girl slightly, " Nothing."
For whatever reason after a few minutes cuddled up togeather like that, he took the remote, and turned off the TV. I looked at him wondering what he was doing.
