Eric

In the past 24 hours I was cut with a pocket knife and made out with Odette. To say the day was bizzare y would be an understatement. My heart tighten hearing her open up to me the sweet fairy I thought was innocently living in the forest had a dark past and I winced at the fact my father killed her parents.

There was no way I could ever admit who I was now. She'd hate me completely. After Odette cried we fell asleep in a comfortable position with her on top once again. It just felt natural having her close to me. Her friend Alice was quite scary and I could tell she wasn't a fan but it was understandable seeing I am a human roaming the enchanted forest

Odette awoke from her sleep and leaned in to kiss me

"Good morning" she said before sticking her tongue in my mouth 

I had no idea what to say as I closed my eyes deepening the kiss. I was getting lost in the kiss, I couldn't help but drag my hands down her legs. When I heard her moan I retreated my hand and pulled from the kiss

Odette licked her lips and cheesing, "happy new year" 

"Happy new year" I nervously said

"I don't mind you touching me" Odette said looking at me innocently as she laid on her side stroking my chest 

"I... it's ummm... indecent of me to do" I cleared my throat to say

"Are you ashamed because I'm a fairy?"

"No! It's not that at all" I spoke quickly 

I didn't know how to tell her I'm the son of the evil king everyone hates. The guilt was spreading through my body and she tempted me so much it was hard to hold back

"Okay" was all she said before leaving the room

I could tell she was little taken back from my action as she left quietly. I let out a groan as I didn't give her the wrong impression. Odette was getting attached to me and though my heart jumped with joy this couldn't happen... if she knew who I was... everything would change

                                                                                               ...

Odette

I couldn't believe what I did. Standing in the kitchen I began to prep breakfast my mind kept going back to this morning. It had been a few days since I told him about my past and he hasn't treated me any different. I thought expressing my feelings was the right thing to do in the moment but he didn't say anything after

But I couldn't understand how he felt about me... maybe I'm overthinking his kindness. He is a noble man after all soon, he'll return to the human kingdom and probably marry a noble women

"Odette"

I didn't hear anything as I was lost in though

"Are you okay?" I jumped when I felt Erics breath on my neck

"Yes!" I cheered turning fast to face him 

We were inches apart and memory of our kisses filled my brain. I hadn't noticed him even move from the couch. His arms were wrapped around my waist as we stared at each other

I was slowly becoming embarrassed from my past actions as he probably doesn't have feeling for me and here I am wanting to kiss him again...

"I was asking you to teach me to cook" he finally spoke 

"oh... of course" I answered stepping to side breaking from our intimate position 

"You can cut those mushrooms and crack the eggs" I ordered pointing to the other side of the counter

"I've never cooked for myself" Eric said rubbing his neck

I softly giggled to myself from his confession

"Never? Were you that noble your parents had servants?" I laughed 

"You could say that but it's just something I was never asked to do more so"  walking over I stood beside him as he began to start the eggs

"Well first don't get shells inside the mix" I said taking out a few pieces 

He nodded his head and followed my directions. After he finished those I passed him the mushroom, "now mince these" 

Walking back to the stove I went back to cooking the vegetables there would be a few painful grunts behind me. I only gave him mushrooms to cut so taking a pause from the stove I moved over to him and gasped seeing

"Eric! Are you okay?" I yelled making him drop the knife and bloody mushroom 

"Yea, just a small cut" he said giving me a smile 

If he tried to cut another mushroom I think he would have lost a finger. Three of his fingers had cuts and the mushrooms were barely minced... 

Shaking my head, I quickly walked to the sink and opened the cabinet underneath. Fairies don't typically use bandaids but I had some for emergency purposes. Grabbing the brown box, I walked back over to Eric and grabbed his right hand 

He bruised the index finger pretty bad but nothing ointment couldn't fix. Opening the green substance I placed it gently over the cut and blew on it before adding the bandaid

"Sorry about the mushrooms" he quietly said watching me wrap his middle finger 

"It's okay, I'm just happy I checked on you before you lost a finger. I'll finish cutting, you can help with the table" I offered 

We both cracked a smile and I finished cleaning his hand. Eric threw away the bloody mushrooms and I instructed him to just set the table. It was a simple task and safer for Eric to do after witnessing his cutting skills

He moved quick and began placing our plates on the table. I went back to check on the food, everything was almost done and I just had to pour the eggs in

Opening the oven I pulled the tarts I had pre-made in the frezzer. They were raspberry and baked perfectly, I honestly outdid myself this morning. Smiling to myself I brought the tray to the table and Eric quickly grabbed it from my hands placing it on the table 

"These look amazing" Eric complemented my food 

"This is just the start! I got an omelet coming up and some bacon" 

Though we don't eat meat much out here I was able to get some bacon for Eric because I read humans in the kingdom ate a lot of meat

"Bacon?" 

"Yes! I got it for you because I assumed you miss eating meat everyday"

Eric just started at me almost shocked from my words. I left the dinning room fast when I began to smell the omelet 

Oh, I hope it didn't burn. I thought to myself checking the stove and seeing the cooked egg. Everything was ready now! 

"Breakfast is ready!" I cheered carrying the food to the table 

Eric stood up fast from his chair and took the hot bowls from my hand placing them on the table. Smiling at him I found my seat across and scanned the meal I prepared 

We had bacon, eggs, raspberry tarts, vegetables, fruit, porridge and my homemade bubble berry tea! 

"Wow, this all looks amazing" Eric said looking at everything I made 

His compliment warmed my heart and I quickly picked up his plate and began to put a little bit of everything on it

"You don-"

"It's fine Eric... I want to" I answered cutting him off 

After plating his plate I started on mine and soon we were both enjoying the meal in silence. The food was so good we couldn't even speak
