The Poison Rose

Epílogo

"Do you like children?"

"Yes. Do you want a dog?"

"I've already got one."

"Really! Where?" I sat up.

"It's downstairs. It's name is Maria."

"Oh." I laid back down. "Your turn."

"Do you like grapes?"

"What? No. What kind of question is that?" I turned to face him with a confused expression on my face.

"Hey, it's Twenty-Questions. I can ask what I want."

"Whatever."

"Your turn."

"Are you a virgin?" I blurted out.

He choked on his spit. "NYRA!"

"What? You said we can ask what we want."

He continued to cough, then ran over to the edge of the boat.

I was on the floor, rolling laughing.

He turned around and glared and me, "You think this is funny?"

"Uh...Yes?"

"Fine. Fine, whatever."

He came and sat back down next to me. I was still Laying down. It was quiet for a second before he turned and grinned at me. I played with the tunnel in my ear nervously. God, what was he going to ask now?

"Nyra,"

He got up and walked to the far end of the ship and looked like he picked up something.

"What?" I asked wheb he got back.

"Do you like crabs?" He threw what he had in his hand on me and I screamed.

The fat red crab snapped its claws in my face and I jumped up, kicked it over the edge, and turned around to see a laughing Kain.

"Where did you get the fucking crab anyway?!"

He just continued to laugh.

I just shook my head and climbed the stairs the led to the upper part of the deck--where the steering wheel was.

I laid against the railng and stared at the sea.

Dumbass. He was always joking.

Soon after though, I felt hands wrap themselves around my waist.

Kain rubbed his nose up my neck and breathed down t seductively.

God, how he knew me. But I wouldn't give in. NYRA, RIGHT NOW YOU HATE HIM...do I?

What was I thinking...?

I shivered. He had kissed behind my ear in my soft spot.

Focus...!

I shook him off, but his arms remained around my waist.

"Your turn," He whispered.

"I don't want to play anymore." I pouted.

"Fine, I'll ask another question." I could hear the smirk in his voice.

I didn't answer.

"Nyra Black, will you marry me?"

At first, I couldn't process the question. Then, I didn't understand what ut meant. But, then I didn't understand how Vain little Kain could bring his ego Down low enough to be submissive.

I turned around in his arms and laid against the railing, smirking at him.

We just stood there for a second, just smiling.

"Are you crazy?" I asked him, raising my voice.

His face was hilarious; he looked very pitiful and heartbroken.

"What made you think you had to ask...?" I lowered me voice down to a whisper as tears filled my eyes.

He went back to his normal cocky self and grinned at me.

"Well, you know--"

"Shut up and kiss me."

He pressed his lips to mine and we shared our first kiss as an engaged couple, but not our last.

Defintely not our last kiss.

But, something hit me and I broke the kiss.

I wonder if he asked me to marry him today because I wouldn't sleep with him last night.

I raised my left eyebrow at him and he looked weirded out.

"What?" He asked.

I just shook my head and smiled. "Nothing."

I turned back again to see the sunset.

He wrapped his hands back around my waist and kissed my hair. He placed his head on my shoulder 

and kssed my cheek.

I grinned evilly, "You know what?"

"What?" He whispered, too in the moment.

"You never told me whether you were a virgin or not."

His breathing stopped and I bust out laughing.
