Chapter 19: ~The cart before the horse.~ (1/2)

***Norfolk, Sarn-Valley***

I am staring at Celestial. And she is staring at me.

No idea how it came to be that we have this staring contest but it just turned out like that after we arrived back at my mansion.

Strangely enough she didn't hit me after I tried to beach her. She just told me that we would talk later and then we didn't bother to talk with each other any more.

I was just about to go to sleep when the door opened and Celestial waltzed inside with a pillow and a blanket under one arm, closing the door behind her.

Right now I am lying in my bed while Celestial is sitting beside me with her pillow in front of her.

“What are you doing here.”

“Sleeping.”

“You have your own room.”

“Married couples sleep together.”

“We are no ordinary married couple.”

“You will have ~nightmares~ again.”

“That has nothing to do with you.”

“But sleeping with someone makes them go ~away~. And you were less grumpy recently.”

“I tried to beach you.”

“I lied to you so let's call it quits.”

“I still don't get your reason. Knowing you, you must have an ulterior reason for this!”

She starts to smile. “The nights are cold and lonely in this forsaken place.”

I turn towards the wall. “Whatever. I am too tired for this.”

But a hand grabs my shoulder and I am yanked onto my back. Then Celestial grabs my arm and stretches it to the side and hugs me while using my arm as a pillow.

“I am no...”

“Shut up!”

I shut up while I consider my options. I could go to sleep without nightmares. Maybe. Even I realized during our honeymoon that sleeping with someone seems to stop my nightmares.

I could throw her out of the bed and get slapped.

I could get a nice feel from her and get slapped.

I could leave the bed and get followed.

Option one still sounds as the most compelling one.

Then I look down at her sleeping face. She is a fast sleeper! It's somehow really relaxed now. Well. Probably it's better to sleep. Just a few days until the Ball of Fellmar.

I shouldn't be tired when I have to talk to all those idiots.

…..

….

…

*Slap!*

My eyes fly open and I look at Celestial who is sitting on top of me. It seems like it's early in the morning because it's still dark, but not as dark as it would be in the night.

I touch my burning cheek and focus on Celestial. “What's wrong with you?”

“It's bugging me!” She folds her arms and glares down at me.

“What's bugging you? And how am I at fault.” -Me

“It's our eighth night. Yet you didn't even try to touch me!” She stabs her index finger into my chest. “Is everything working properly? I start to fear that something is wrong with me.”

“Hah?”

“Having a strange fetish is okay with me you know? I have seen the weirdest things so you can't creep me out.” She grabs my hand and places it on her well formed bust while placing her other hand on my forehead to feel my temperature.

Then she starts to move on top of me in a way that should probably be arousing. But I can't help it. This whole situation is creeping me out! What's wrong in her head!?

After getting no reaction she stops and folds her hands again. “Are you sure that everything is okay ~down there~?” She points down towards my groin.

I point towards her head. “Are you sure that everything is okay ~up there~?”

She stops to move and forms a fist while smiling. “Come again?”

“I just find it strange that's all. I don't understand your thoughts at all.” I pull the blanket higher to separate us.

Her expression drops. “I see. I see. You are one of that rare breed who prefer relationships with mutual feelings. Unexpected to find a guy like that in this world. But on the other hand you are reincarnated too. So you aren't really from this world.”

I shove her from me and get out of the bed. A few seconds later I have changed into my normal clothes and walk towards the door. Did I hurt her pride by not trying to do anything to her?

That's a funny thought in its own. So by doing nothing I frustrate her?

“Ascathon!”

I turn and look back to Celestial who is still sitting in the bed.

“I have decided! I will flip your switch!” She points at me with a confident expression.

While shaking my head I leave the room.

The rest of the day turned out to be really annoying. Celestial followed me on every step while taking notes on everything I did. Be it eating or working. I even had the feeling that she noted down all my facial expressions! At some point I even snapped and asked her what's that all about.

She just mumbled something about a medical record and psychoanalysis. Stupid. How does she intend to -flip my switch- by taking notes about my daily life.

Right now I am working in my lab while trying to make a simple lamp which can be used in my future greenhouses. At least Celestial is a little helpful by handing me some tools when I need them.

All those doctors and psychologists are just charlatans. How can you analyse the mind of someone without actually having a connection to it! It would require hundreds, thousands of years of experience for that!
