I look at him and say
"Why did you save me exactly?"
He looks up at me and stands up. His tall muscular frame overshadows mine as he quietly whispers
"The first time I met you, you were drowning, abandoned by the people who were supposed to protect...
He looks at me softly and rests his forehead on mine but the moment soon gets interrupted by his phone ringing. He tries to ignore it but I say "You should take it" He moans while kissing me and whines "I don't want to!" I laugh and say "But you have to, it could be David" He sighs and says "Your right" He picks up the phone and we both see that it's David. He look at me while I throw him a 'i told you so' look at smirks before answering the phone and putting it on speaker "Hey Xerxes, we arrive in three hours" Xerxes nods and says "Very well, we will come to pick you up" David says "Oh and by the way, I brought a dear friend" Xerxes sighs and says in a warning tone "David!" David however, hurries up and says "No believe me! I know this person since she was a little girl and she is a good friend of Hiraeth" Xerxes looks at me and I look back at him confused. I say aloud "Hi David. I don't know what you mean? I was locked up for the majority of my life. What friends could I have made there?" David chuckles and says "You will see dear" I give Xerxes one last look at he says "Very well then David, we are on our way" They say their goodbyes and Xerxes hangs up the phone. He gets up and takes out the small suitcase filled with documents and weapons. He gives me my kitana blades and takes his gun. He looks at me and nods while saying "Small protection" I nod
Later
We get out of the temple wearing simple evening attire. I wear a beige shirt dress and Xerxes wears a normal white shirt with a like four unbuttoned buttons.

We leave the temple and walk through the forest for another five minutes. I take time to look around the forest and can't help but admire the life inhabiting it. I can hear hundreds of birds chirping and a few deers walking around. We continue to walk but I feel a sudden grab on my hand. I turn around to see Xerxes pull me close to him and embrace me. His bits my lip and I moan leaving him the access he wanted. The kiss goes on for a good minute before I get the chance to breath. God! This man knows how to take my breath away. Literally. He looks at me and whispers "After all of this is over, I'm going to love the fuck out of you" I laugh as he leaves me small pecks on my lips. We continue to walk to village while holding hands until we finally arrive. It's about 10 pm at this moment so nighttime has fallen and people are starting to prepare for the celebration that happens at midnight. Apparently they love partying at night. Once we arrive, we see Noal and Miza sitting on the table and I smile as we approach them. Miza gets up and gives me a nice hug, one which I gladly accept. She smiles as we sit next to each other on the bench and Xerxes sits next to Noal. He says "Hey, we need to go get them now, they arrive in like 2 hours and fifty minutes now" Noal nods and says "Cool, let's go" We get up and head towards his taxi car. Noal sits in the driver seat while Xerxes sits next to him. Miza and I sit next to each other. She says "So what's the plan after we get them?" I look at her and say "To be honest, I have no idea. Dr.David said that he had a friend in Greece that nods all about this so I truly do believe that we will have to go there eventually." She nods and says "If you go, can I come with you?" I smile and say "Of course, I don't see myself going through this without you" She smiles and says "Thank you Hiraeth" I smile but our thoughts are soon interrupted by Noal saying "My love, I'm not sure we can go" Miza's eyes lower as she becomes incredibly saddened by his comment. I step up and say softly "Noal, please reconsider. Miza is not only my friend but an oracle, her visions can be extremely useful" Noal growls and says "You told them" Miza says pleadingly "They are like me!" He sighs and says "Hiraeth, if she goes I will accompany her as well..." I smirks be cross my arms as I say "You say it like it's a bad thing. Besides, Xerxes is going to need a right hand man. You fit the requirements" Xerxes burst out laughing as does Noal. Miza looks at me thankfully and Noal says "Well then it's up to Xerxes" Miza and I look at Xerxes while Noal keeps his eyes on the road. Xerxes seems to be seriously considering this. It's quite understandable why actually. He is used to being a lone wolf, it would be a big change to have a right hand man. I slide my hand on his shoulder and then down his chest and I feel him thicken. He looks at me through the mirror and sees me pouting, he says "I would have no probables with you being my right hand man" Noal laughs and says "I see you finally got the forbidden fruit" Miza, Xerxes and I can't hide the embarrassment his comment got us and yell in unison "Noal!"
