Do You Believe In Magic? - Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Sable's POV

Oh my aching head. My mouth feels like the Army marched through it with muddy boots on. Did I really drink all that wine? What is that vise around my waist? Oh my Goddess, it's Aron. What is he doing in my bed? "HEY, WAKE UP YOU! ARON, WAKE UP. Why are you in my bed and why do you have your arm around me?"

"Oh sorry, but there's only one bed and we have to share. I was cold and so I just curled up to you because you were toasty warm. I'm sorry, it won't happen again. I'll sleep with my back to you next time."

"Next time, what do you mean next time? There won't be a next time." I stand up and realize that I'm down to my knickers and bra. "Who undressed me and don't tell me it was you?"

"I guess I've got nothing to say then."

"How dare you? Who gave you the right to take my clothes off?"

"What was I supposed to do? Put you to bed in what you were wearing? You had wine spilled all down you and I'm sure that wouldn't have been fun to sleep in. But don't you worry your pretty little head none. I will never do it again. You can be sure of that."

The nerve, who does he think he is? Men! They can't be trusted. I can't be trusted because I like the way his arm felt when it was around my waist. I'm really nervous about where my feelings and thoughts about him are going. I guess it's safe, he's not totally human. Maybe I won't make someone die this time. Please Goddess, I don't want to fall for him if he doesn't feel the same way about me and I don't think he does.

Aron's POV

What is up with her? You'd think I attacked and raped her for Goddess's sake. All I did was remove her outer clothes. It's not like I did anything inappropriate, even if every ounce of my being wanted to touch her all over. She is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. Goddess, please make sure my willpower stays strong!

"Okay Sable, what now? While you're thinking about that I'll check the backpack to see whatever goodies I can find for breakfast. Oh look, orange juice, bread, cheese, fruit, coffee; everything anyone could want. What would you like?"

"Just some juice and a piece of fruit please. Where are my clothes please?"

I put them over...where did they go? "I don't know where they are. I put them over beside you and now they're gone."

"You'll have to find them because I can't continue in a bra and panties."

"Why not?" Did I say that out loud? You ass Aron, give the girl a break. You're sounding like such a letch.

"You're a pig! Check the backpack and see if there's anything in there."

Women, you can't live with them, you can't live without them. "Here's a t-shirt and jeans. No shoes though, but yours are at the end of the bed."

"Um thanks."

She is going to drive me crazy. I'm just not sure how to take her. Does she like me or not? I wish I could read her mind. Why hasn't she read my thoughts before now? Is there a reason she isn't slapping my face right now? "Sable can you tell what I'm thinking?"

"No, I can't seem to do it in this part of the cave. I don't know why but there must be some kind of field around this section that doesn't allow me to see your thoughts."

That's a relief. I'll have to make sure I watch what I'm thinking when we leave this part of the cave. I'll have to test her and see. How do I get everything back into the bag? Oh I see it just fits no matter how much you stuff in it. I've got to get me one of these bags. Probably never need it if we don't make it out of here.
