Chapter 120 - One-Hundred-Nine (1/2)

My stupid brain has already given up on me, meddling words together and not thinking straight while he keeps caressing my back with his hand in smooth motions.

I try to come with something to talk about, or something to do, to-I don't know, get away from that situation b-because, because… it is embarrassing, yeah, that! We were out here in the open, it was impolite to simply start hugging you know? Getting so… lovey-dovey all of the sudden.

And yet, when I finally open my mouth to say something, my eyes meet Leonel's… and he smiles, as if knowing what was going on in my mind, a comfortable and at ease expression that affects me in the spot.

And suddenly I don't feel the need to say anything anymore, my racing heartbeat seems to slower until it settles and my anxiety fades away.

That is just how powerful your smile is to me.

”I missed you.”

”Hm…”

”I was worried about you.”

”Hum…”

”I thought of you all the time.”

”Uhm.”

”Can I kiss you?”

”Maybe…I don't know, let me think…” At that he raises his eyebrow in an amused expression as a cheeky smile covers my lips.

”Are you acting coy now my little hound…?”

”Coy, oh no, I wouldn't dare, just a little hard to get…”

”Ah, I see, maybe next time I shouldn't be this polite and ask before uhm…”

”Oh, so harsh of you, you wild beast.” He laughs at my sarcasm and closes the gap between us, his warm lips covering mine in a soft yet long kiss.

”Eww, get a room you two.” I hear suddenly from below, the red hound looking at our direction.

”Get one for us too.” Says the wolfhound, smirking to the side, only to be glared at by the red hound.

”Oh, does watching us bother you?” I ask, as she looks at me and Leonel.

”If I say yes you will keep going won't you?”I just narrow my eyes, my smile growing bigger. ” Then, no, not at all, please continue! Go ahead! There is even a good spot on the floor over there!”

I cannot stop myself from laughing… until I realize that Leonel did not understand a word she said beyond barks and growls.

Oh well.

”Who are they?” Leonel asks, but I simply say:

”Oh, them? Don't worry about them, ignoring is enough, don't bother yourself with them.”

'Oi!' Both say, making me raise my eyebrow in challenge, as if saying didn't like it? What are you going to do about it? Nothing? Nothing I see! Of course is nothing!

I've always had very expressive eyes I may add.

But we soon part from our little catch-up reunion when a woman elf approaches, I little shy at first, but once Leonel turns towards her she smiles, pulling her hair behind her ear.

Oi, bitch, who the hell are you? Why are you looking at my elf!

When she starts opening her mouth slowly, with that freaking shining eyes, she suddenly turns towards me, and seeing me stare her down makes her widen her eyes and stutter.

I pull Leonel closer, looking pass him towards her; and making sure his face was turned to the other side, coldly asking: ”What is it?”

”A-ah, wha-, is just that Helraya has finally arrived and is waiting to meet you…” Oh, alright, I see, they are waiting… wait, who? And waiting for whom? Leonel… I think, turning slowly towards him.
