Thanks to all of u who reviewed ^_^
My body felt slick and refreshed as I held Sorbet's hand back to our cave hideout. This was to be our new home so when Sorbet and I got home we had a serious talk about making this place more livable. Sorbet agreed to remove yesterday's rain water and that she would wash out the cave of dead leaves and grime.
Since my skills with fire magic were rendered unnecessary at the moment, I was assigned to gathering firewood and breaking a small hole in the side of the cave to be a window and remove smoke from our fire.
I kissed Sorbet good-bye before I headed off to collect broken limbs from trees. She was my baby girl and I was never going to leave her.
I didn't stay far from our cave but kept open ears in case sorbet was in trouble and needed me to protect her. Damn those wretched pirates! I freakin hated them so much, I clenched my fists at the thought of them touching her.
I found the dry branches and grabbed them in heavy armloads. I tried to find the ones without leaves so they wouldn't make too much smoke in our fires.
While I was gathering I silently began to wonder if we would ever get off this forest planet together. The thought kind of bothered me but then I started to think about it more…
Me and Sorbet trapped somewhere forever… I began to think greedily. Sorbet was my weakness… I was very lustful for her and her beautiful ivory toned body. I just wanted to touch her and have her.
Sex. It was something I commonly thought about when Sorbet came to mind. She teased my senses and made me feel like I needed to have it. I wouldn't ever admit that to anyone though. Sorbet was way too young for me to be thinking those greedy, awful thoughts about using her body for my own self pleasure.
I wouldn't ever do anything to Sorbet unless she wanted me to. I felt like I needed to protect her, I don't want anything bad to ever happen to her and if I was the source of her pain that would make me want to kill myself.
With my arms exploding with firewood I headed back to our cave and placed them in the corner with a noisy clutter.
"Oh, your back," Sorbet sounded excited as she came around a corner and stood on her tiptoes. She placed a delicate kiss on my cheek and I swear she made my heart flutter like a bird being trapped in a cage. I smiled.
"Hey you cleaned up the place pretty good," I said wrapping my arm around her ribcage. She giggled and I felt her ribs rumble from beneath my palm.
"So what do you wanna do now?" She asked batting her dark eyelashes at me like twin black butterflies. I looked outside towards the orange setting sun. Sorbet followed my glance and she walked over to the edge of the cave expecting me to follow her.
I stood by her side and we sat down next to each other. Her smooth arms wrapping around me giving me an everlasting hug. Together we watched the sun drop over the trees and we both enjoyed sharing our nostalgic thoughts that night.
In the back of my mind I tried forgetting those pirates. They were evil and if they so much as even thought about trying anything I would destroy them. But I forgot these thoughts and listened to Sorbet's gentle voice sing a sweet unrecognizable song into my ear. It kind of reminded me of something my mom used to sing to me when I was little. I hadn't seen my mother in forever though…
My mother had long dark brown hair and fair skin. I had inherited her green eyes. I hadn't seen her since my father had left her when I was a child. When she left I had missed her a lot more than I would admit, I cried as a young boy. But I shouldn't miss her… It wasn't like she cared about me that much anyways. She could have taken me with her instead of leaving me with my idiot father and his foolish fantasies for fame.
Sorbet knew the story of my childhood. I had shared it with her long before. Sorbet always seemed to be able to get me to open up even though I tried to keep my past about my mother a secret.
Sorbet's family was well… ordinary. Her father was a weak business man; his business wasn't working out so well right now though. Sorbet's mother was an aged, once beautiful woman who worked at some sort of Fabric Company making minimum wage. Sorbet was lucky she still had both parents to care for her. Sorbet's family was perfect…
Now it was my job to protect Sorbet. I placed a kiss on her soft forehead and rubbed her smooth hand with my callused palm.
"Pico? What if we never get out of here?" She whispered.
I sat and thought about how to word it carefully.
"I'll always be here for you. You're my girl," I said feeling like I was making a promise. She smiled flashing me the tips of her white teeth.
"I love you Pico and I don't want you to ever leave me," She snuggled in closer to my torso trying to get warm.
That night Sorbet and I made our beds of thick green leaves with white fuzz growing on them that I figured would keep us warm.
Long story short; the forest was so cold at night Sorbet ended up morphing our two little beds into one big one where we huddled together for warmth. I woke up and found my arms wrapped around her small body that was snuggling deep into my chest.
I hope this chapter is good
