17 Chapter 17: Unwavering Decision 2 (1/2)
Raloz woke up when it was already near noon. He went downstairs and there he saw Selina looking like nothing happened. But if you look closer you'll see that she's not focus on what she is doing.
Razlov walk to the counter where Selina was working. Seeing Razlov, Selina was startle but manage to calm herself instantly.
”Selina I want to order a meal.” nonchalantly said Razlov making Selina slightly surprise at his attitude.
”Un” nod Selina as she keep looking down. She could not look at him in the face due to what happened but she still took a little peek at him. Seeing his reaction that did not change even after awhile it somehow made her annoyed.
”Hmph!” snorted Selina as she went to the kitchen to get the meal he ordered. At the kitchen, there she vent the feeling of annoyance by stomping at the floor many times 'What's with you! What's with you! acting like nothing happened' after awhile she realize, why was she acting like that and quickly adjusted herself.
Rosy who was at the kitchen look at her mother shock as she said ”M-Mother what's wrong with you?”
”Nothing, I was just annoyed at a certain person.” explain Selina as she continue ”That Razlov also ordered a meal”
”Okay” Seeing her mother did not wish to explain further she decided not to pry in it further. Rosy walk to the cabinet to get a bowl and started to prepare for the meal that was ordered.
Selina wait as she see her daughter starts preparing, then she remembered the nonchalant face of Razlov. ”Rosy don't put any meat in his stew and give him the smallest bread we have.”
”Why?” ask Rosy to her mother not understanding why she would do that. But seeing her annoyed expression Rosy immediately shut her mouth and do what her mother told her. 'Razlov must have done something that made mother angry' she thought as she realize why her mother was stomping her foot earlier.
Rosy finish preparing the food then Selina brought it to Razlov as she said in a angry tone ”Here's your meal, Hmph”
Seeing her attitude Razlov wryly smile then proceed to eating his meal, seeing his stew that don't have any meat and only vegetables in it, while the bread was small. Razlov could only smile bitterly but said nothing in the end. He continue his meal not bothering with it anymore.
Razlov finish his meal and leave the inn immediately since he still need to find someone to hire to get all the people he recruited to Kurlian Island.
Seeing Razlov leave, Selina heave a sigh of relief ”We cannot continue like this. I have to talk to Razlov and forget everything that happened then continue with our daily life.” as she said this there was a slight disappointment in her heart.

2 days after
Because Selina couldn't make up her mind she decided to delay their talk. Making the situation awkward to the both of them. Razlov didn't mind at all as he was giving Selina time to think things through and this silence lasted for 2 days.
When the night falls after Selina close the inn, she walk to the room where Razlov was staying. She took a deep breath 'Tonight is the time will settle things and forgot what happened'
”Knock..Knock”
Razlov went and open the door,seeing Selina he smile and said. ”Selina what's wrong in there something you need?”
”Razlov c-can we talk?” although she was nervous she still manage to say what she came for. She was also notice of the way Razlov address her without honorifics making her slightly bashful. Although Razlov has been calling her name without honorific these past few days, Selina did not bother with it as she has other things that has been bothering her mind.
”Sure, do you want to come in?” ask Razlov
”N-No, here is fine.” said Selina, afraid that when she went into his room she will not be able to focus on what she want to say because she will remember all the things that happened in that room.
”Okay, so what do you want to talk?” ask Razlov not bothering that Selina rejected his invitation.
”Razlov can we forg-” before she could finish talking, her lips got sealed with his. Razlov tongue try to enter inside her but Selina resisted, but it did not take long before the resistance loosened. Their tongue got entangle with each other. Selina loss her strength and her legs go limp because of the overwhelming intoxicated feeling she feeling right now. She cling to his neck to support herself while Razlov embrace her in his arms. As their lips separated, Razlov look at Selina with a smile, while Selina also look at Razlov with moist in her eye.
”Rejected!” said Razlov with a serious expression
”Huh?” Selina was confuse at what he was rejecting.
”I know what you want to say.” He look at her with smile ”But I reject, all objections denied. After we had s*x that night and woke up to see you in my arms I decided that you are already mine.”
Hearing what he said, Selina feel a sweet taste in her heart. All the stress and worries she felt during the past few days was like a wind that slowly fades away. Tears slowly drop on the eyes of Selina, she felt that the fog in her heart that was covering the light was now gone making her feel warmth and realize that she has already fallen for this man. She didn't know when it started but after hearing his words if felt like the sun has already shined.
”How selfish” said Selina in slight angry tone but deep inside her heart she was happy.
