It was time for me to get ready, the dinner was already prepared. Ashton wanted to talk to me for a minute about the recent event of him kissing me out of the blue. His kiss didn't feel new, it was as if we had kissed for a long time or perhaps that was what Lucia felt?

I looked at myself in the mirror wearing the gown Ashton's mother asked me to wear, I think this is too appealing because it's just a family dinner. Perhaps his mother has something to announce, I don't know that much.

I tied my hair into a lovely braided style, it was just a simple hairstyle.

( I love this braid but it's not in black colour, too bad :'(. However it should give you guys an image of how her hair looks like )

I was already prepared and Ashton knocked on the door, asking if he could come in

I was already prepared and Ashton knocked on the door, asking if he could come in. He came inside and as always, he looked shocked looking at me, was I really that shocking?

He blushed and turned away," could we have a small chat on the way to the dining room? I need to explain to you about my rude behaviour before, I didn't mean to umm...let's go." I chuckled at him and thought about what he did, my cheeks burned a little, I was embarassed too.

We were on our way to the dining area and he asked," did it surprise you? The uhh.. the k-kiss", and he stared at the ground while walking. I replied," well I wouldn't say surprised, I was shocked, how could you do that to me?"

He felt guilty and held my hand, he apologised to me for what felt like a hundred times already. I laughed and said," Ashton oh Ashton, what I meant was how could you do that to me, I thought no one would ever kiss me. I am a witch afterall, right?"

He stared at my eyes and asked," I thought you said you were a nymph? also, you're not a witch Erisia, you just bewitched me." I shuddered from his words, it was mesmerising, I blushed harder. I shrugged it off and asked," so what made you kiss me?"

He blushed and said," well uhh... it came all of a sudden, the urge to kiss you on the uh... lips, but it felt more like I was forced to. I don't know how to describe it!" He said and scratching his head.

I laughed at his effort and said, " It's not that big of an issue, I was just shocked about it that's all. That was my first kiss by the way, I never kissed a man before. Most of them ran away from me thinking I might cast a spell on them because they all say I'm a witch." I looked down and a bit sad , but he grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

I looked at him and he was staring at me with warmth in his eyes," I've never kissed a girl before either."

Everything went silent , thank goodness that we were already near the dining room, we went inside and they were already waiting for us. His mother stared at me with sharp eyes, looking at me as if I was a mystical creature. Crimson was there and mouthed at me saying that I looked ," Lovely."

We sat down and dinner was served, their dishes never cease to amaze me, I could feel my mouth drooling over the delicious delicacies. We ate the dishes silently and I struggled to eat elegently, it was far too delicious for me to eat silently. His mother asked a question out of the blue," Ashton, when will we see her again?"
