Forbidden Water

Chapter 8

read to know more about aquatic chemistry of Leo and Larissa.

Leo's pov continues....

Today, I have  decided to meet Larissa; it's already darkened and I am waiting for her in nook corner of the beach !! but one hour passed away but she didn't come; still I will wait for her; she told me ,'I will come' and I saw truth in her eyes. May be ,she loves to keep me standing.

'Leooo',she rushed to me,'I am so sorry, I am late'.

'So you came, I thought you won't come', said I not showing anger for her delay.

'I would come in time,but my seventeenth birthday is approaching; I had a task left',she sighed.

'Which task?',her words made me curious.

'Today, I am tattooed, it's tradition among waterbenders to have an 'AQUA' tattoo before seventeenth birthday', I heard her words in silence,don't know what to say !!

'Oh , did it hurt much?',I said,as I know having a tattoo is really atrocious.

'It would,if I were a normal human', she paused,'But we have power of water, it's power healed my injury quickly'.

'See',saying this , She lifted her shirt to show me the tattoo; it is a Aquarius type tattoo, as if the water comes off from her navel; but the tattoo is so marvelously depicted, it shows a celestial aura.

'It's astonishing,it looks great on you',I praised.

'Yeah, girls have it on navel and boys on arm', she explained.

'Am sorry ,you had to come with this wound'

'Oh no !! I said,I'm totally cured',she showed fake rage,and stole my heart.

'Will you go boating with me?',I requested and she quickly agreed !!!

Eventually,we started hovering around in my tiny boat. She sat silently engrossed in observing the stars; the twinkling stars on dark tapestry took us in the world of dark fantasy.The silver moonbeams and dim neon lights of fisherman colony made the ocean ostentatious . The cool breeze and nearly calm Mediterranean surrounded us in the mist of love.

'Larissa, Will you show me the water bending?',I asked,' I want to see the miracle'.

'Sure; but I think you saw it once',she smiled naughtily.

'Oh that day !! I saw from from long distance and you stopped as soon as you saw me',I smiled.

'Yeah,I will show you,',she  instantly swished her hands in stupendous way and I saw intoxicating, mind-blowing swirl of waters in the Mediterranean. In the soft moonlit and dim neon lights I saw a marvel ,created in front of me,enough to make me spell bound.

'That's amazing! you are excellent !!',I praised.

'Haha !! it's nothing in comparison to what I know',she encouraged,'But you have to keep it secret'.

'Don't fear for that; I'm secretive'.

in this way we kept on flirting, confabulating and bickering in pleasure. I felt,it's the best night of my life. I don't want this night to end.

'Close your eyes', I said secretively.

'Why? will you surprise me?',she is like little girl sometimes.

'Please Larissa',I pleaded and she agreed. I took out the tiny wooden box from my pocket, in which I kept that very sky pearl. I gave it in her hand.

'Now,open your eyes'

'My God Leo !! you are so cute',so finally she opened the box.......

'It's very precious pearl Leo, how did you got it?',she questioned.

'It brought me the sign ,someone can come in my life and then I met you',I explained; she is astounded hearing me.

'Leo ,now I have nothing to give you but still I want to give',saying this she started to unfasten her bedecked head gear.......'No, no,you don't have give',I objected.

'But I want to',said she and brought out a pink small conch from her head gear. She kept the conch in my palm and I got submerged in overwhelming  joy.
