Fortuna is a fickle woman, her mood changed as fast as the wind, and shr was most fickle when it came to love affairs. She had many suitors but no lover, even when she was mortal, she would cast away a man for anything that bothered her about him. Except this kid who was the first to take control from her.Usually most of her suitors and favoured would do anything they could to take all they could from a single meeting, almost announcing the bad things about themselves, things that they hid from her with all their might. However the one that made her meet him thrice already was totally different, he did not mind showing his silly and idiotic side, he was direct about his intentions and most incomprehensibly he told her he was cheating on her.
She has been watching him for a long time, she new about his life more than he knew about it, yet she found herself dragged into dancing to crickets and frog noises, she was kissed a most romantic kiss, without the kid even knowing what he did. When she met him a second time, he was paying back a debt, of grat.i.tude, although he was in her embrace, he never let go of the girls beside him, and that made her jealous.
It didn"t matter before how many women her suitors had or what they did, because they acted the most innocent when with her, thus she knew that after a single meeting, it was over, however this kid made her jealous by telling her the truth, even with her, he kept his grasp on the ones that mattered to him, something she never seen in men before, because they either sacrifice everything for love or just drown in their l.u.s.t and sacrifice everything including love.
Yunan told her to meet him, almost like an order, he did not say anything about intimacy between them even when she brought it up, and she did not know why, all she knew was that she wanted to be held like those girls, held so tightly no distractions can break their relationship. And now she was looking at him fidgeting before what looked like a house, trying to will the moon to rise so he could see her.
She had a smile on her face, wondering if he had learnt about flirting like she told him to, and if he would lie about who taught him. she did not wait for the moon to rise, but walked to the one who made her meet him every two months, so that she would not be bored of him, a lie she told, yet he never questioned it and gave her exactly what she wanted.
When she released her lucky cloak, she was standing in front of him, smiling like a silly child, he however wasted no time in wrapping his arms around her waist and embracing her tightly, kissed her forehead and then led her into the portable house. There was comfort in their silence, she thought any words he could say would just ruin the moment, but as he led her to the living room and helped her sit on the sofa, he told her "It always feel like a dream when meeting you, I know it"s the cheesiest line but I do feel like i am dreaming, having you all to myself is a bit beyond my comprehension".
Fortuna had the sudden urge to kiss this boy, there were no lies in his eyes, no l.u.s.t, only happiness, she heard herself say "then show me what dreams you have about me". She watched as the boy turned beet read and stutter his response "b-but th-that would ruin the p-plans i made for ou-our d-d-date". "How adorable!" she thought as she put her hand on his chest feeling the frantic beating of his heart.
After taking a breath the boy said with a very serious tone "we can do both, as long as you promise to stay here longer than just one night" his smile was the most childish one she saw in her lifetime when he saw her nod at the notion. She still could enjoy the smile on his face as he carried her princess style into his bedroom, and threw her on the bed, helped her off her clothes, but instead of doing anything further, he picked her up again with that smile and took her to a misty bathroom and eased her into the hot pool with him, he made her lean against his chest, head on his shoulder, and his hands on her hips.
" I always wanted to share a moment like this with you" he said as he looked in her eyes, she could not help but blush at the notion that he chose to get her naked for a bath instead of flirting, the man was either an idiot or a simpleton, either way he was an adorable one.
The bath was fragrant and refreshing, she did not know what kind of herbs were mixed in, but it made her feel both relaxed and rejuvenated, she looked up to him and he was closing his eyes, enjoying being close to her, as their bodies relaxed with each other, they could both feel the tension dissipate from each other"s bodies as they huddled closer and closer. She made a vow to herself, "if this is what he dreams about me, then i need to teach him how wet dreams worked".
An hour or so later, Yunan led Fortuna out of the bath and helped dry her, she could not help but smile at the gulping noise he made when he touched her chest, however he did not go beyond drying her up and dressing her in a very comfortable satin robe, and then put a fluffed cotton robe on himself, his moves were steady and practiced, it showed he did not have nude bath with his lady friends just for fun. He then led her to the kitchen where she sat on a bar of sorts.
Yunan opened a cabinet full of wines but took out some grape juice instead, he poured her a gla.s.s, and explained himself "I don"t like being drunk, so I do not drink at all, but i would say we can drink later on, when all the things i need you to be sober for are done with, is that okey?", She took the gla.s.s from him and took a sip "what is it exactly that you think it"s alright to do to me while drunk? I must say, you are really a bad influence on my chast.i.ty". Both laughed at the joke.
Fortuna watched with interest as Yunan started preparing for dinner with a painfully obvious newly learned cooking skill, as they chatted about Yunan"s life since the last time they saw each other.
