Laurence was always a flirt, calling every maiden he sees, "The lost pearl from Atlantis". It was infuriating. I might have only been a tavern wench, but watching these poor women think that he loves them, just for him to flirt with another woman just the next day. It was sad.
Laurence was a common customer at the tavern, but normally I would be off cleaning tables. However, today just seemed to be different.
"Ah! Hey ho Laurence!" The tavern owner spoke. Everyone in the tavern turned heads to stare, even the men.
"Hello Mike!" Woman in the tavern began to laugh, and men begin to glare. "How's business going today?" Laurence asked, leaning his sword against the counter top.
"Oh you know, booming as always!" The two men laugh, as they told their inside jokes (that weren't really jokes, just things that they think are funny.)
I roll my eyes as the woman at the table I am cleaning stare at the man. "Ahh.. He's so handsome."
"What do you think, Y/N?" One of the woman asked me, turning her attention to me.
"Ah, well I mean.." I looked up at him, and started to notice his features. The way his armor rubbed against muscles. I guess after years of training, that happens. I also noticed the way he ruffled his hair, while keeping a calm look on his face. I began to wander my eyes slowly up and down his body.
"Well? What do you think?" The woman turned her head back to him. "Finally starting to notice his features?"
I blinked eyes fast, moving my attention from Laurence to the table. The table looked very lovely this time of day.
"Well?" The woman turned her eyes to me, keeping her body pointed towards him.
"He is.. handsome." I spoke quietly, as if one word would ruin my world.
"Correct!" The woman spoke loudly. "Now go get me another one of those ales, will you love?"
I sighed, and took my leave. I began walking towards the entrance of the tavern, where the bar stood, and where Laurence was seated. I looked over to him for just a couple seconds, when my foot clipped the sword that he had propped against the bar. I face planted into the ground, and dropped all of my supplies onto the floor.
As I began to sit up, I feel hands cup around my elbows, and almost immediately I know who it is. He helps me sit up all the way, and then kneels down to help me pick up my dropped supplies. All while I just sit there and stare. Staring at the handsome man that sits in front of me. Younger me would've been screaming at just the thought.
"Well, it would seem you truly "fell" for me!" He winks to me as he finishes picking everything up.
"Well thank you for the help." I stood up and quickly grabbed my belongings out of his hands, keeping contact with his hands for a moment.
////
I was locking up the tavern for the night, by now it was late night. maybe early morning. As I finished locking the doors I felt a hand on the back of my shoulder, without hesitation, I spin around a strike the person behind me with my right hand. Only to realize it was Laurence.
"OH MY GOD! IM SO SORRY!" I drop my belongings and begin rummaging through my pockets for something to stop his bloody nose.
"It's quite alright, I probably should've warned you." He gave a little chuckle at the end speaking, rubbing his nose. "You have quite a strong hit, have you ever trained with a sword?" He asked me, as I had finally found something to control the bleeding from his nose.
"My father would kill me if I tried to wield a sword." I spoke, while dabbing the cloth to his nose.
"Well then why should he have to know?"
////
Me and Laurence stood at the foot of the forest surrounding Metelli, preparing swords for him to teach me how to wield one.
"You know, I'm sorry for earlier. Punching you and all." I said out of the blue, startling him from his trance.
"Oh, well I guess we're even for earlier today then." He smirked at the painful thought of me falling and landing at his feet.
"Haha, sure."
"Alright, got the swords ready. Wanna start?" Laurence said, standing up from his crouching position.
"Yep!" I stood up from where I was sitting against a tree.
"Kay'."
We got into position, and I braced myself for fighting the old head guard of Metelli. In a matter of seconds, he charged at me, however it was slow enough that I could stop the attack. I spun around, however this left me open for a blow to my side. I quickly adjusted myself, but I guess I was too quick, because I began to slip to the ground. I braced myself for the fall, but my trip was stopped by hands wrapped around my waist. I opened my eyes to see his blue eyes just inches from my own.
...
"May I kiss you?"
...
"Of course."
