Maybe I Love You -Aigonorus- Part Three

Although hesitant, I followed Aigonorus to the bathroom. I couldn't believe I let him talk me into this. Maybe...maybe part of me wanted to stay with him as well? I didn't even understand myself anymore.

"You can find the bath in here." Aigonorus had suddenly stopped in front of door shaking me from my thoughts.

"Ah, yes, thankyou." I smiled and then turned away looking a little anxious. 'It's too late to back out now.' I took in a deep breath to clear my thoughts and stepped into the bathroom.

"I'll watch the door so don't worry." Aigonorus said with an indifferent expression. He must have noticed how I felt and was trying to ease my worries.

'I shouldn't have to worry about any interruptions or any awkward situations with him standing guard...right?' I did feel a little relief from the thought but still couldn't completely relax.

After closing the door I headed towards the gigantic bath in the middle of the room. It was so luxurious looking it was almost liked I stepped into a whole other world.

"This bath looks fit for royalty." I said and started to undress. I then slowly got into the bath and was surprised how warm the water felt since It never seems to empty or be refilled.

"Heh, it's like some magical bath. This is the gods house so it shouldn't be surprising." I giggled a little to myself and continued to wash my body.

"Whew. That felt good." After a most relaxing bath I finally got out. I was surprised just how relaxed I was considering I was so anxious just before. It's like it had washed all my worries away.

I dried myself off with my towel and then went to grab the clothes Aigonorus had given me.

"Huh...this can't be all there is..." I held up the skirt in front of me and was in disbelief by how short it was. "This is some cruel prank." I puffed up my cheeks in irritation but seeing as this was all that had been given me I had no choice but to put it on.

I first put on the white blouse, "Wow. This is so soft." The blouse felt really good against my skin but it did concern me it might be a tad see through. And then I picked up the skirt once more. With a sigh I reluctantly put it on. I walked over to the huge mirror and took a close look.

"Geez, It barely even covers my thighs..." I started to panic. How could I leave the bathroom in these clothes? What was Aigonorus thinking?!

I pursed my lips and stomped over to my dirty clothes and stuffed them in a bag I had been given before leaving the bathroom.

Outside I found Aigonorus dozing off by the door. I glared at him with annoyance. 'This is sooo embarrassing!'

Aigonorus must have noticed my stare as he opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Oh, you're finished." Aigonorus said and then began looking me over, "They look good on you." He seemed to brighten up from seeing the clothes I was wearing.

"You're kidding." My whole face went beet red, "Why did you give me something so ridiculously short!" I shouted in my embarrassment and leaned over in a futile attempt to pull my skirt down. This was all too much.

"What the freakin... Woman! What are you wearing?!"

"Ahhh!" I yelped and my whole body froze as I turned to see Scorpio down the hall his face redder than I had ever seen.

In my attempt to cover the front of my legs I completely forgot about my behind... 'Can I just find a hole and die now...?' I can't believe I gave Scorpio a complete view of my underwear. Oh the shame...how embarrassing...will this ever end?

"Why are you even here?" Scorpio glared at me then clicked his tongue, "Be more careful. Don't just come here and show yourself like that. I-It's...embarrassing!" Scorpio spat, trying to sound Intimidating but It was all too easy to tell he was still in shock from the embarrassment. He wasn't doing a very good job of hiding it.

"Whatever. Do what you want!" He shouted and then turned on the spot and scurried away as fast as he could.

"Why..." My shoulders slumped and I turned back to face Aigonorus. He looked a little sullen.

"Sorry..." I heard him faintly whisper before snapping his fingers. In an instant my skirt grew in length and now covered my knees.

"Thank you." I breathed in relief but was still couldn't forget the expression on Scorpio's face. 'How am I ever going to be able to face him again?' I thought and sighed.

After that rather embarrassing accident, I followed Aigonorus to the dining room for breakfast.

Seeing as the gods didn't really keep food stocked Aigonorus asked me what I'd like to eat, "Hmm, I feel like some scramble eggs today." And then he snapped his fingers and just what I wanted appeared before me.

"Thanks." I smiled and began eating my breakfast. "Mm, this is delicious. Much better than the scrambled eggs I've made."

"I'm sure yours taste much better." Aigonorus mumbled.

"What?" I cocked my head. I didn't quite catch what he said.

"Nothing." Aigonorus shrugged and watched me eat. I felt a little shy eating with him watching but I focused on my food and managed to finish somehow.

By the time I had bathed and eaten breakfast it was already late in the morning.

"I really should be going now. I appreciate everything you have done for me but I can't have you keep taking care of me all day. I need to go home." I said to Aigonorus in a gentle voice. I wanted him to understand I couldn't abuse his kindness, I need to look after myself as well.

As I headed towards the door to leave the room I was stopped by Aigonorus grabbing onto my wrist.

I let out a sigh and feeling a little pensive, after all he has tried so hard to get me to stay, I turned to face him, "Aigo... Why? I don't understand what's going on with you. Lastnight you wouldn't even look me in the eye and then you held me in your arms and even took me back here in my sleep. And now you don't want me to go...why?" I cocked my head, I was feeling rather distressed. Seeing the pleading look in his eyes made my chest hurt. It was almost too painful to keep looking at him.

Aigonorus looked like he wanted to say something but didn't know how. His eyes traced over my entire face as he desperately tried to find the words.

"I..." He began to speak but quickly stopped himself and dropped his gaze to the floor.

I bit my lip, and frowned. If only I could read his mind. I wanted to know what was troubling him so much. "Aigo?" I whispered his name and It seemed to snap him out of it and he looked back at me.

His eyes this time had taken on a certain kind of determination, he looked serious, "Elli." He said my name in a firm tone and lifted my hand up to in front of his chest, "I can't hide my feelings any longer. I love you, Elli." His sudden declaration had me reeling.

I felt weak at the knees and lost the ability to speak. My face was probably one of pure shock. My eyes were as wide as they could go. How was I to respond? What did I say...

"Elli..." Aigonorus looked worried as he called my name.

I looked at him, still in shock, "Aigo... I... I really need to go." I freed my hand from his grip, he didn't even seem to resist as he let me go.

I ran from the room and made a dash for the front door. I didn't stop, not even when the other gods called out to me. I just had to get away from there. I didn't even know why I was running. I couldn't think of anything. My mind was blank. My legs seemed to be moving on their own accord and they carried me all the way from the house all the way back to my home. I didn't even realize through that time I had been crying or the doleful look on Aigonorus face as I left him.
