MY SECOND BUT TRUE LOVE #Wattys2016

CHAPTER FORTY THREE

Amarion

I remember her eyes when I had first seen her and when I compared them to the ones forth me, I was flabbergasted. The fear and dejection that veiled her eyes had disappeared. Ecstasy and endearment resided there instead. My heart felt warm to see her happy, especially because of me. I was sure I could give her what she deserved and I wouldn't back off ever. Every time I looked at her, I realised I had a purpose to live. All the splinters of my entity were hers. My voice was no longer mine, it was to please her heart and my arms were her habitat. I could see nothing in me that I could call mine. I owed her my life.

I broke our eye contact and kissed on her neck hardly. I could feel her fingers running through my hair. I gradually licked her skin and planted soft kisses. She breathed heavily and rested her leg on my back. I moved my hand up her thigh and bit on her skin. I slowly brought my lips on hers and kissed her passionately. She took my lower lip between her teeth and pulled it, driving me crazy. I pressed my body against hers harshly and continued kissing her neck.

"Amarion" she moaned. As I heard her voice, I froze. I looked at her face. Her eyes were closed and her chest was bobbing. Her angelic countenance struck a reminder in my mind. She just fixed herself and one wrong move would break her into pieces and maybe beyond my reach. I kissed on her forehead and hugged her. She kissed on my cheek and held the embrace for a little longer. I moved away and whispered "we have to go downstairs for dinner". She nodded.

I got off the bed and checked my hair in the mirror. I could feel her eyes on me. I knew she wanted to ask something but I didn't pry because I partially knew what she would've questioned.

"I liked you're hair before" she said as she got up.

"I did too but if I show it off, everyone would recognise my secret stylist" I joked and wondered if it was lame.

"Yeah and then they'd want it too" she responded while adjusting her dress. The pink top with its creme laces, looked lovely on her. I gazed at her for a while, appreciating her beauty. She looked up at me, waiting for a response. I then processed what she had said.

"Oh! but they never will" I replied in a low voice and walked to her. She raised her eyebrow at me. I grabbed her by the waist and looked straight into her eyes. "You're just mine" I almost hissed.

She smiled, "there is no one else whose I would wanna be. I'm yours" she whispered and pecked my lips. I smirked and placed my fingers below her cheek and traced a heart there.

"I'm yours too" I kissed on her forehead.

"Come out" someone knocked the door.

"Jade" I rolled my eyes.

"We should go out" Amour suggested and headed for the door.

"Yeah" I replied and stuffed my fists in my pockets, mentally cursing Jade for ruining our moment.

"Woah! You both really need to control yourself. I could hear you moan when I was in my room" Jade snapped as always.

"We weren't" Amour stammered shyly.

"Of course you were" Jade continued annoying the hell out of me.

"Shut up and mind your own business" I growled at her.

"Well, it is my business. I'm the one whose Amour staying with. Right?" She retorted and smirked at me.

"Yeah but that limits to your room" Amour replied and stepped out of the room.

"Right" I agreed and raised my eyebrow at Jade.

"You coming Amarion?" Ame asked.

"Surely" I answered and gestured Jade to step out. I closed the door and followed Ame, leaving a speechless Jade behind.

"You go first" I suggested Amour and she nodded. I watched as she headed to the dining table and greeted my mother. She held a conversation and both of them were laughing. I could even see dad smiling. Lily then came running and showed her the seat besides hers. Amour sat down and placed Lily in her lap. The four of them were beaming at each other and talking. They seemed so happy. Amour fitted with my family so perfectly, as if she had been living with them forever. A smile played on my lips as I watched them gleeful. I wished it could be a sight I'd get to see everyday. And just like that my love for her increased.

" Brother dear? Eaten already?" An annoying voice asked.

"No, I was waiting for you" I lied.

"You've fallen too hard for her and you're still falling" Jade whispered.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you" I said in monotone.

She laughed. "Of course you have to. And I won't stop you because I know she is worth it" she apprised, shocking me.

I looked at her with narrow eyes.

"If a girl can fight the fire for you, she can do anything to keep her love. You're lucky brother" Jade continued and smiled.

I stared at her as she walked ahead of me towards the table. Another smiling face had joined the happy sight I was watching. I chuckled and gazed at Amour. I couldn't be any luckier and Jade couldn't be any spookier.

"Amarion" mom called.

And just the mention of my name made Ame blush. She turned crimson as a rose, the loveliest in the garden. Her eyes wandered and searched for me. She smiled shyly and looked away when her eyes met mine. It was strange, how from a distance I could tell what was going on in her mind. But maybe that's why it's called love.

"Coming mom" I yelled and ran to the dining room where a new world was created.

I smiled as I took the seat opposite to hers, forth my enchantment.
