The Cruise of Love

Day Three: Words Like Swords

Lett was walking on the side with Natalia. While Natalia was confident about having her as her 'girlfriend', Lett seemed uncomfortable. 

"What are we doing?" Lett asked.

"Nothing," Natalia turned away, her grin getting more expansive.

"Natalia," she glared. "What are we, seriously?"

Natalia took her to her room and eventually made a move with her, kissing Lett passionately. Lett fought back by kissing her back, their hands on each other's bodies.

Lett pulled away and stared into her eyes, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing?" Natalia answered. "Just... spending time with you."

"You know what, enough. I do not want to spend more time with you right now," agitated Lett, leaving the bed and sitting on a couch. "I need to take a deep breath. It's my third day on this ship, and I am now upset. First, I lost my fiancé, and now I'm linked to you."

"You'll never know what made me decide to do this," Natalia sighed, sitting beside her, "You will never know."

"If you tell me what is going on, I will lend my ears to listen to you." She held Natalia's hands, but the latter let go.

"Lett, this is not happening. You will never understand why."

"If you weren't tough and stubborn with me, I would have understood," Lett held her hands again, but tightly.

"If you weren't resisting letting me love you the moment I held you in my arms, I wouldn't be as stubborn as you thought!" She raised her voice.

Lett never held back; she moved away from her "lover", fiddling with her hair. "You're right. I was stubborn. I don't remember you giving yourself time to figure out what you were doing when we first saw each other."

"So?" Natalia stood up again behind her.

"So what, Miss Agent, are you letting this sit for a day while we are on this ship?"

"No, please hear me out," Natalia begged, walking closer to her.

Lett faced Natalia. "I'd be willing to listen to you at this moment."

"We need to make good decisions while we are here." Natalia toned down.

"What kind of decisions?" She asked.

Natalia touched her chin, much to Lett's confusion. "Please, allow me to hold you and to love you. I'm a male stuck in a female's body because of a curse. I cheated on someone, and I regret everything that I had done."

Lett never said a word but released a sigh.

"Now, I tried to lure you with the words and actions in hopes of ending this curse. I wanted to go back to what I used to be."

"It isn't you?" Lett asked, caressing her hair.

"No, it's not me." She answered. "This female person is not me."

"Okay." She finally breathes out.

"Will you love me the way that we desired?"

"And leave me like anybody else?" Lett added. "No. It can't be happening. Stop lying to me, Natalia."

As Lett turned away, Natalia said, "Your words hurt like many swords."
