Chapter 4
Camus was looking at Jane straight in the eyes.
- Marie?
- You still remember my cosmo after all these years?
He embraced her, surprising everyone, and said:
- How could I forget? We need to talk, let's go.
Without saying anything else he took her to the Aquarius temple. There Camus said:
- What happened? During all these years…
Jane didn't let him finish, putting a finger over his lips.
- Calm down. Let me explain. Those men took me to England and named me Jane Thompson, the name I use now. They made Marie disappear from the face of the earth. Over these 13 years I always knew what was happening with you. I don't know if that was their idea of torture, but everyday until now, they would tell me what you had done that day.
- But why didn't you give me some signs that you were alive?
- Because they didn't let me. And with time I convinced myself that it would be better that way.
- What? How could you think that way? For years I've tried to find you, but I never did! So I started convincing myself that you were dead! Do you realise the pain it was? You were the only person I had left!
- I know that! I suffered too!
- Then why didn't you tell me who you really were when you came yesterday?
- Because I thought, and I still do, that I have no right of being part of your life anymore.
Camus was shocked when he heard that. He got closer to her, touched her face and said:
- Please don't say that! Promise me that you will stay here with me!
- I can't.
- Why?
She let her tears fall.
- Because over the years, my feelings for you didn't change!
He looked at her with loving eyes and said:
- Neither did mine. That's why I'm asking you to stay with me.
She looked at him surprised and started saying:
- Camus…
But he didn't let her finish and kissed her on the lips. They were so entranced in the kiss, that they didn't realize that the Goldies, the Bronzies and Saori arrived in that instant. They were agape, with the exception of Aphro, who was smiling. Since Aphrodite didn't want to ruin the moment, he took the others out of there.
When they stopped kissing, Camus said in a smooth voice:
- Je t'aime.
She smiled and said:
- Je t'aime aussi.
He kissed her again and then he said:
- Stay here. Please, don't go.
- I signed a contract with Athena so, I'll stay here as long as she wants to.
- Good, but I mean here in my house. I want you to live here with me.
She was speechless, Camus smiled and said:
- Please say something. Say yes.
She recovered, smiled and said:
- Yes, I'll stay.
Camus embraced her tightly.
- I'll call Aphrodite to warn him and to tell him to send your clothes. I know he went to get them last night.
- Thank you. May I ask something?
- Sure.
- I don't want to ruin the dress and I really need a bath, so…
- You can take a bath, and you can use any of my clothes. Feel comfortable in doing what you want. Now this is your house too.
- Merci. But I don't want to touch your things without permission.
- Well you have my permission. My clothes are in the closet, you can chose whatever you like. The towels are in the bathroom closet. Oh, and the bathroom is in the bedroom.
- Okay thank you. I won't take long.
He kissed her, she went away and he called Aphrodite:
- Aphrodite, I'm calling to warn you that Jane is going to stay here in my house.
- Great! I'm glad for both of you!
- Thanks. And I'm going to ask you for a couple of favours.
- Sure, what is it?
- First, can you tell Athena–sama and the others, without too many details, what is going on?
- Sure, but I have to warn you, that we all saw both of you kissing.
- What? I didn't…
- I know you didn't sense us. It was obvious. Milo and the others wanted to know what was happening between you and Jane, so we went to your house and we saw you kissing her. I took them away, but they were more curious then ever. So it will be good to clarify to them your relationship with her.
- Okay. The second favour that I wanted to ask you is if you mind bringing her clothes here.
- No, I don't mind. By the way where is she now?
- She's taking a bath. She doesn't want to ruin your dress. By the way, you did a great job with her today.
- Thanks, but I'm going to tell you something that I didn't tell her: My goal tonight, was that both of you ended up together. So I made everything in my power to make her sexy for you.
Camus was speechless but then said:
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
They hung up, and a few minutes later Jane's clothes were in the Aquarius temple. Sometime later Camus was in the living room reading when he heard a female voice saying:
- I see you still like reading.
He turned and saw Jane wearing one of his shirts that in her looked like a mini dress, but a very sexy one. He blushed slightly.
- Wow!
She smiled and got closer to him.
- Do you like what you see?
He grabbed her, sat her in his lap and said:
- Yes, I like it very much.
- Really?
- Yes. By the way your clothes are here.
- Oh, thanks.
- But please, wear my clothes more often.
- Why?
- Because you look really sexy with them.
She looked him straight in the eyes and said:
- You think I'm sexy with your clothes?
- I think you're sexy with whatever you wear. I even think you're sexy without wearing anything.
This made Jane to blush and Camus to smile, then he said:
- Why are you blushing?
- Because of what you said.
- Are you embarrassed?
- A little.
- Don't be.
He kissed her passionately, she put her arms around his neck, and he picked her up, heading towards the bedroom.
Sometime later, they were both lying in bed and suddenly Camus spoke up:
- Today you were amazing on stage.
- Thank you. I'm glad to hear that from you.
- You're welcome. Marie?
- Yes?
- Please don't leave me again!
- I won't. I promise.
He pulled her closer to him and gave her a peck on the lips.
- You were also very beautiful in those costumes. But, then again, you are always beautiful.
- Thank you. Camus, can I tell you something?
- Sure, what is it?
- Your friends are little perverts.
He turned to face her with a frown.
- What do you mean?
- Well, yesterday as I was passing through the temples, some of them started to flirt with me.
- What?
Camus was a little angry and jealous and was thinking: "I know she's beautiful, hot and sexy, but she's mine! I'm going to freeze whoever did this!"
Meanwhile Jane was trying to ease him up.
- Camus calm down.
- Who was it?
- I'm not going to tell you, unless you calm down! You don't have any reason for being jealous! I'm here with you!
- I know that. Okay I'm calm, now who was it?
- Deathmask and Aiolia.
- I should have imagined! What did you say to them?
- I was trying to be polite, so I said that I don't mix duty with pleasure.
- Okay, but if I hear anything from their mouths that's somewhat related to you, like what happened in the party where Aiolia said you look hotter… I'll freeze them!
- Alright, but now relax. And if that happens, remember how we are now. I'm in your bed with you, not in theirs, not with them. I made love to you, not with them.
- I know. I'm sorry for being like that, but I don't want to lose you again!
- You won't.
She kissed him passionately and before anything else could happen, they felt a cosmo get closer to the temple and Camus stated:
- It's Hyoga's cosmo.
They got up and started to dress. They reached the living room in time to see Hyoga entering the temple. When he saw them together, Hyoga blushed and said:
- Master I'm sorry for evading your temple this way, but I wanted to ask if what Aphrodite said was true.
Camus looked at Jane and said:
- Yes, Hyoga it's true. Why do you ask?
- It's just that it's odd seeing you with someone. But I'm glad for you master!
- Thank you Hyoga.
- Your welcome. Oh, and I'm glad for you too miss… Err… Should I call you Jane or…
- You may call me Jane.
- Oh, ok. I'm glad for you too miss Jane.
- Thank you.
- Well I should get going. Bye.
They both said:
- Bye.
Camus looked at Jane and said:
- Do you really prefer being called Jane?
- No, it's just that only you can call me Marie.
