chapter sixty four

- AURELIA JONES -

It happened.

It finally happened.

As I lay next to a sleeping Shoju who was snoring softly, my mind raced with every single thought and feeling I just experienced.

We had sex for the first time and it was absolutely amazing. The love and passion was so real and my heart is so full.

I truly love him, and it's stronger then anything I ever felt for Jace.

I had a triumphant smile on my face, my naked body pressed against the bed.

Deciding to leave him be, I peeled myself off the sheets, pulling on some shorts and his t-shirt.

Rez and Ollie were still outside working in the heat, whilst Gwynn sat on the porch ogling them.

I rolled my eyes at her and fell into the couch. "Hey, where'd you come from?" Angel smiled, appearing from the kitchen.

"The bedroom." I smirked.

She raised an eyebrow, "Anything interesting happen?"

I shrugged, "Maybe." On the inside I'm bursting at the seams to tell her. But it's fun to keep her on her toes.

"Oh yeah?" Angel trailed off, staring at me. "We had sex." I said.

Angel squealed and sat herself opposite me on the couch, "Tell me everything!"

So I did. From what I said to Gwynn and the lead up to us actually doing it. Her mouth was agape the whole time, hands squeezing mine.

"That sounds Uh-MAZING!" She yelled, "I wish Rez would do stuff like that to me." She frowned, huffing as she sunk into the couch.

I laughed, putting my legs on hers, "You feeling better?" I asked.

Angel seemed confused for a second until she nodded, "Yeah, much. Thanks."

There's something she's not telling me, I know it.

Deciding to ask her about it later, I left it alone. "What do you wanna do for lunch?" I asked.

She blew out a deep breath, "Something edible?"

I frowned, "So nothing."

Angel nodded, "Pretty much."

"We need to build a vegetable garden!"

"I suggested that to Rez, but he said with winter approaching, there'd be no point. Besides, how would we find seeds and that to plant?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "There's a plant and garden shop hidden between two big stores not far from here. I'm sure I could convince Shoju to take me and we can check it out."

Angel kicked her feet up on the coffee table, "You can always try. But if you do manage to go, see if you can snag a eucalyptus plant or something."

I laughed, "Why eucalyptus?"

"It's good for burns and other health related things."
