{Chapter 7: Good or Bad Decisions?}

Sleeping through the night on the comfy bed with Elsword on the other side, I get up and shower like usual. I was thinking to make breakfast for Elsword and Elesis today. It's unusual of me, yes. I wonder how she came back all of a sudden. But Elsword seems happy and I feel happy too. I go into the kitchen and found Elesis singing while cooking some omelets and pasta.

"You got up so early." I said, "Making breakfast for Elsword?"

"Yep~" She responded, "Also for you too, Eve. I don't really have an opportunity to cook for little bro, so I decided to make him breakfast." She smiled. "Will you help me?"

"Sure. I was just thinking about making breakfast, too." I grinned.

"Okay, good 'cuz it's so hard for me right now." Elesis laugh, "Hmph… You should make an omelet. I'll make pasta. Maybe I'll think of another thing to make." She winked.

I nodded, pick up eggs and flop it down on the pan. An half an hour pass, I heard the door opened as I place down plate of omelets and a plate of rice balls. Elsword then came out of the room, stared at me and smile, "Good morning~" He said, "You will make a good wife making breakfast in the morning~" He winked.

"Is that how you teased a girl, little bro?" Elesis laugh, "You gotta be more serious!"

Elsword stay silence, without looking at Elesis he bite the rice balls that is on the table. "Mmm! This is delicious! Taste like heavens." He smiled, "Eve makes this right?"

I was surprise. I thought he couldn't tell actually. My cooking skills are no better than Elesis' I believe because in the past, I cooked very badly and make everyone hungry.

"Whoa! How do you know its Eve's? That is awesome." Elesis smile, "It's fate that brought you two together."

(Like hell it is…)

He chuckle and continued to eat the rice balls. Elesis and I too started to eat. After eating in silence, Elsword is the one who broke the silence, "Sis, can you show me your sword?" Elsword smiled.

I looked at Elesis. I see her eye shaking for a moment, but she smiled anyway. "Sure, sure." The great-claymore sword suddenly appeared on Elsword's lap. He then wandered his eye around Elesis's sword from front to back. I got curious.

"Oh~ It's really pretty." Elsword smirk, "Now can I see your right hand?"

"…W-why? You wanted something, Elsword?" Elesis smile weakly.

(What is going on? It's getting awkward.) I looked at the two of them silently.

"Why don't you just show it to me? Can you do what your bro wanted you to, sis?" Elsword smiled, "If you don't do it, that means you are fake." He suddenly summoned his great sword and pointed the sword at Elesis, his own sister.

(Wait. He tries to find his sister, right? And she suddenly appears…) I thought deeply, (Shoot…)

I, too summoned my Iron knife. I suddenly remember when Elsword told me that his sister got a rune on her right hand. I looked over her hand with a sleeve covered it. "Show it," I said.

"N-no… If I show it I'll be dead by you!" Elesis cried. Her whole body turned into a black, monster creature.

"…I knew it." Elsword sigh, hold back his furiousness, "What are you doing here anyway? And why in my sis' form?"

"It's that man…" It says, "Y-you know who make me like this!"

Elsword paused, looked at me coldly and then back at that monster creature, "Your acting is very good then. Well, bye-bye." He used the flame magic on that monster creature and it faded away. All it left on the floor is black sand, and then it disappeared along.

I looked at Elsword who is looking down on the ground, gripping his sword tightly. 'It's okay Elsword', 'I'm here by your side', I wanted to say those things. Want to say it so badly.

Watching him, those expressions are showing me that he is filled with furious and disappointed. I was about to walk away when I turned around to look at him once more, he suddenly hugged me. My whole body was in his embraced. My head is in his chest and I felt dizzy with his sweet scent. It felt like he stopped me from leaving him.

"…hey, l-let go." I said, pushing him. His embrace is strong I hardly breathe. His head in my hair, he breathed near my ear, I can hardly stand it.

"I don't want you to go. Don't go." He sounded really sorrow, sounded like he's crying inside.

"But you have to stop hugging me." I said, blushing. "Even though I'm your slave…"

"Hmph…" Elsword chuckle, "That man I swear… He'll die in front of my feet."

"Hah, so you feel better now? I'll hold your hands and hugged you if you want. If it makes you feel better." I grinned a little.

After a long silence, Elsword let go the embrace and walk to the sofa. He sits on it and patted the spot next to him. I giggle and walked over to the spot. As soon as I sat on it, Elsword laid his head on my lap. I looked at him from above, he closed his eyes. "Why are you sleeping on my lap now?" I sighed.

"Hm? Don't you like it?" Elsword smirk, "Don't hide it. I already knew."

"Geez…" I grin, "but… the things that started to happen to us now seems like it will get more and more dangerous…"

"Yeah… how dare he play with my feeling like that…" he says, "I thought she was finally home…"

I look at his hair from down below and touch it. I softly patted his head, knowing that he will cry anytime soon. Elsword had a trust to his sister that no one can break. He always believes that his sister will come home no matter what. I somehow love that side of him.

"…Why are you patting me?" he sounds gloomy.

"You look like you are going to cry in a minute, so I was just…" I stopped.

"…Idiot. I wasn't crying or anything!" He suddenly sit up, turned his head to the other side.

I saw his tear running down to his cheek. I was surprise. He didn't want anyone to see. With that, I say, "It'll be okay," and pat his head once more.

"…" he stays silence.

I stood up and throw the dishes that the 'fake' Elesis make. I bet it's poison.

All left is the rice ball and the omelets. I looked at Elsword, who finally stops crying and turn to look at the food I make. A smile pops up at his face.

"It looks so yummy!" he then takes the fork and the spoon in his hand, "Bon apatite!"

I sat down next to him and watch him eat. His eyes sparkle as he did so. I smile without knowing while watching him. It makes me feel happy. It makes me wanted to care for him after knowing his story. Little by little, I wanted to make him happy all the way to his heart.

"Eve, let's go out," Elsword suddenly meet my eye and smile.

"Um, what kind of 'go out' are you talking about?" I asked.

"Business. We are going out with Novia and Eisuke, just 4 of us."

"…Again? When are you going to sign your contact?" I sigh.

"…Soon. Be patient," He pat my head and left the empty plates on the table, "go dress up. Wear the dress that I prepared for you in the closet."

"Alright," I took all the empty plates away and washed them. He ate it all, which I'm impressed.

After I showered and changed into the dress that Elsword prepared me, I went out to the living room. Elsword was already in his suit. As soon as I walk out of the bedroom, he turned around and stares at me.

"W-what?"

"Hm…" He walked over and examines me. He looked at me from head to toe and smile, "As I thought, this white dress really suits you."

"…thanks," I blush, "So… where are we going?"

He chuckle, "Casino."

"C-Casino?! Why?"

"Novia was the one who suggest it. She wanted to go there with Eisuke, but Nova said to take you and me with her." He explains.

"Ah… alright," I nodded.

"Well, shall we?" He smile, extend his arm out to me. I hold his arm like a girlfriend would.

We went down to the lobby and get with Eisuke. After that, we go to casino and meet up with Novia.

Inside the casino were crowded even in the morning. I looked over at Eisuke, who got cling on by Novia. He has an annoyed expression on.

"We have guests to greet. Stand close to me, got it?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded. We then continued to walk over to the board table where people play cards. I don't really know the names because I've never been to casino before.

"Oh, Mr. Elsword!" Says the old man, walking up from the stairs.

"Hello," Elsword waved, and then we started to walk over to him, following by Novia and Eisuke.

While they are talking, I stood close to Elsword, next to the staircase. When he finally introduces me to the old man, I immediately turn my head to his direction.

"Eve, say hello," Elsword looked at me.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Elsword's girlfriend," I bow.

"Ahh, you are really gorgeous! You two are suitable for each other."

"Thank you," He put his hand on my shoulder and pull me close, smiling. I smiled, too.

"Tch! They are getting so lovely dovey!" Novia groan, "Eisuke, hold me too!"

"…No thanks," Eisuke sigh, turning his interested to other side.

I giggle so does Elsword.

"Well, enjoy! I got to get going," the old man says.

"Alright, have a great day," Elsword smile.

The old man walked away and as soon as he did so, Novia came to Elsword and hold his arms, making me lost balance. She leans into Elsword, which it pushes me back.

When I was about to fall down stairs…

"Eve!"

…Elsword caught me before I do.

He pulled me into his arm, which I didn't expect it to happen. "You okay, Eve?"

"Uh... yeah," I blush of what happened. I stand up straight and apology, "s-sorry…"

"It's okay. I'm glad you are safe," He smile and kiss my forehead, "I can't live without you."

My head feel like it's burning. People around us turn their eyes at us with a happy look on their face. Did they feel happy just by watching me and Elsword together?

(It's just an act, calm down…)

"That's some interesting stuff right there," Eisuke smirk.

"No fair! I want something like that, too…" Novia pout.

Elsword cleared his throat and offer me his arm, and I hold it like before. While we walk, we got stares at. Elsword were pretty famous. I don't know how, but I can tell. We continued to greet guests and play casino games until the sun set. I had fun and experience new things there.

When it gets dark, we left the casino and went to Nova's office. I don't know why, but Elsword went into his office and hasn't come out for 5 minutes. I waited on the couch and so does Eisuke. After the waiting, he finally came out with Nova, shaking hands with him.

"Looks forward to working with you," Elsword smile.

"Me too, Mr. Elsword," said Nova.

(Did they sign the contract? So that means…)

I don't have to pretend anymore. I'm free.

"Eve, let's go home," He smiles at me, "Thanks for everything, Nova. It's too bad that I couldn't come to see you off."

"It's alright. I'm glad I can be of help," Nova chuckle.

"Ah… yes. Have a safe travel," Elsword smile, "We are going back now."

"Awww! We have to go…" Novia whine, "I'm going to miss you, Eisuke…"

Eisuke sigh. I giggle.

"Farewell," Elsword waved his hand at Novia and Nova and then we finish saying goodbye. After we get out of the hotel, Eisuke laugh and smile to himself. He's really happy now that Novia is gone, I can feel that.

"Thanks to me," Elsword wink, "Business is done! You can rest it easy now, Eisuke."

"Yeah… whatever now that is done. That pig doesn't have to follow me around anymore," Eisuke smirk.

"Haha, yeah. Let's go home," Elsword lead me to the limo with Eisuke follow behind us. We go back to the hotel as soon as the business was finish. While we were in the limo, I notice Elsword's expression were gloomy. He was unhappy.

The 3 of us goes back to Tres Spades at 8:32 PM. Laying in his bed, Elsword didn't speak ever since we enter the hotel. After I bathe, he still just lay there, on the opposite side of where I am sitting. I look at him in front of me, who have his arm up to his forehead, his eye close. I walk closer to him, looking at his face. I stare at his beautiful eye lash without knowing that I was already in front of his face.

(…what am I doing?)

I touch his hair gently, feeling the softness of his hair.

"What are you doing, Eve?" suddenly, he opened his eye and grab my palm, "does my hair feels that good?"

I blush, "o-of course… not."

"Eve…" He begins to speak suddenly after a long silence, "You know that you are not my girlfriend anymore, right?"

"Yes, I know. I'll gave you back the keycards and the pager and I'll also go back—"

"Who says you could do all those things?" He smirks, pulling me close, "You are still my slave. Don't think you could run away from me."

I somehow feel relieve that I got to stay with him longer. I thought he would abandon me or worst. I feel, deep inside me, a painful sensation that I cannot explain.

"Are you tired from today?" He asked.

"Yes, I am. I bet you are, too."

(Well, of course. Especially on my foot. Those high heels… I'll never wear one again.)

"Hm… if you are already tired, then why don't we do something more tiring?" He smirks teasingly, pulling me even closer.

"No thank you!" I pull away and moved away from him, "You should go to bathe already. You must been tired too, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so," after he walked into the bathroom, I grabbed out the aid kit for my foot. I don't wear high heels much. It was my first time that I have ever worn it that long.

I put the aid kit away before Elsword even sees it. I don't want him to notice. Sitting on my bed, Elsword finally came out of the bathroom, in his black pajamas.

"Ready to sleep with me?" He winks, walking over.

"Uh… no."

He sits beside me staring at me, grinning, "Can I see your feet?"

(Crap… did he notice?)

I stay silence until he forcefully grabs my foot to him.

"That hurt!"

He didn't say anything but just staring at my foot, my wound.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" He asked, sighing, "I could have come back here early."

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt much. It's just a wound. A Nasod like me are used to a much larger wound," I grin.

He suddenly press his finger on my wound really hard, I almost screamed, "Ow! Ow! W-what are you doing?!"

"It hurt doesn't it? Don't talk big in front of me," He grabs out the aid kit out and did my wound, "you should care for yourself more and let others care for you."

His words sometimes warm my heart. I still don't know why.

"Eve," He called out my name, smiling, "let me protect you, okay?"

I blush silently, averting eye contact.

He chuckle, "there you go. Tell me if high heels hurt you, okay?"

I nod. After that, he put away the aid kit and came back, sitting in the same spot, "Eve."

"What?"

He looks into my eye. I can feel his passion. He moved in closer and backs me up against the wall. My heart race due to his lovely scent and it makes me feels dizzy.

His face were 1 inches away from mine. As he gets closer and closer…

"Mm…"

…Our lips touch.

(W-why is he…)

I can feel his tongue and how rough he is. I can feel my face burning up and my head feel heavy every second we kiss. It was the first time that I have ever felt like this.

"Use your tongue more," He whispered between our kiss.

"W-wait…" I tried pushing him away with my hand, but he locked both of my hand on the wall, continuing kissing me.

It was a nice feeling. I don't feel to hesitate it either. Every second that we kiss, I feel like I started to fall for him.

He finally let go and lick his lips sexily, I blush, "W-why did you do that for?!"

"…I thought it'll be our last kiss…" Elsword grin, "You might hate me afterwards…"

(What is he talking about…)

"Y-you should have said something!"

"Why? You enjoyed that, right?" He smirks, "how about once more?"

"N-no, thanks!" I kicked him off my bed, "good night!" I turned off my lights and went to sleep with my head still burning at what happen.

"…Now I've done it," Elsword chuckle, "alright, good night."

He turned off his light and went to sleep, too. I took a glance at him and he was looking at me. I turned back quickly, blushing. This feeling just won't go away.
