NE'ZULA LEFT HER TENT, LOOKING FOR LO'AK.....

she didn't know why, but she knew she wanted to spend time with him.

as she was walking towards his māori, she encountered tey'lar.

"hey" he said standing in front of her. she look behind his shoulder to see if lo'ak was nearby, but he wasn't, so she looked at him.

"hey" she smiled.  he took her hand and dragged her somewhere. she felt uncomfortable to his touch for some reason, but followed.

"so.. where are we going?" ne'zula inquired.

"the place i wanted to show you" he said like the information was obvious or something.

"ah okay." she smiled.

the two headed towards the ilus and mounted them. tey'lar asked her to follow him.

after some time, they arrived at three large rocks.  the look on ne'zula's face was priceless.

the two dismounted the ilus and tey'lar took her hand. she didn't know why, but she internally cringed at the touch.

"these are the tree brother rocks." he said while looking at her. he smiled at the sight of her being absolutely captivated by the beauty.

"ne'zu, follow me" he said

"ne'zu?" she asked politely. to be honest, him calling her a nickname didn't feel right to her at all.

"yeah." he turned his head to look at her. she quickly plastered a smile and followed him.

the two arrived at a area full of lush trees, a little further than the three brother rocks.

"i thought this would maybe remind you of home." he said, while gazing at her.

she thought the place was beautiful, and thought the gesture was sweet, but something still felt wrong. she chose to ignore that feeling.

"i don't know what to say... it's amazing." she approached tey'lar and gave him a hug. he stiffed up at the touch, but then immediately hugged her back.

"glad you like it." he said as she moved back from the embrace, still in very close proximity.

the two held eye contact for a second, and ne'zula knew what was about to happen, so she broke the eye contact and looked at the floor.

he scratched his head and approached her. he held up her chin and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

she felt her cheeks heat up, but not from being flustered, from being embarrassed. she didn't know why though. she smiled at him a giggled, trying to make it seem like she enjoyed it.

"so, now that you've given me a nickname, i think it only fits that i should give you one too." she met his eyes.

he smiled. "oh yeah?"

"yeah." she replied. she thought for a good minute.

"tey." i think that's good.

he chuckled. "it's cute."

"more like, tey'k your nasty ass far away from me" ne'zula thought.

"nezu?" he asked.

"hm?"

"i was wondering... uh... you know...." he nervously said. "i was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend."

"i'd like that" she said loud enough for him to hear. he had a big smile plastered on his face.

"i have to go get something, would you wait here?" he asked.

"yeah, of course." she replied. as he walked out of sight, she took her head in her hands and sighed.
