Chapter 5: Cooling Down
A hand caressing my face brought me back to reality. It was her hand, this woman’s hand. It was so soft, it felt smooth in mine “You really are lonely, aren’t you?” am I that obvious? “Maybe” is all I manage to say.
We drifted to sleep after those words, she comprehends me…she knows the feeling. The feeling of being alone, when you’re in a crowded room…being solitary…being lonely.
For the first time in forever, I was able to sleep without interruption. There was no nightmares, no wicked dreams, no panic attacks. Even if it was just one hour and I was already late for work, I don’t ever want to get up from this bed.
I opened my eyes, and found her wrapped in arms, just like my own teddy bear. She was still sleeping soundly, probably this was the first time she has ever slept in her life. I wouldn’t doubt that. She must have it really tough.
I try to free her from my arms but she moaned protesting my sudden action and pulled them closer to her. Maybe I was like her teddy bear too…
She is so beautiful…
“Scarlet! The color of your hair! That way I’ll never forget!” “Scarlet…I love it!” “C’mon! Let’s go, Erza!”
“Scarlet…” the gloominess that the memory of her brought made tears whelm my eyes. ‘Why didn’t you save her Jellal? Why were you so weak?’.
It’s all in your head, Jellal, it’s all in your head, I repeatedly told myself but to no avail. My head was right, she was killed because of me and I did nothing to save her.
Sudden movement beside me broke me off my suicidal trance. You have noticed I go out of reality a lot right, well I’m crazy so don’t judge me.
The woman in my arms moaned while stretching and I caught the cue to release her from my arms. But still she didn’t hop off the bed like she done before I asked her to stay the night.
I on the other side got off the bed in search for my pants. I heard her chuckle and turned around, without realizing I hadn’t got inside my pants “You do have a lot of energy, don’t you?” oh please don’t tell I got an...I look down, yep got it.
I give her my back but it wasn’t a good idea either “Nice ass” she says. This was so embarrassing!
“Don’t you have something else to do?” I turned my head to look at her “Not really” and then she laughed. I chuckled, it was fun being with her. It was so different than what I’ve been like all my life. I never thought a woman could be so much fun to be with, apart from…well sex.
“You’re a mess” I smile at her so she knows I don’t mean it and she surprises me by making this hot pose and biting her lip saying “A HOT mess please” she winked. I felt my face starting to heat up, why she has to take everything I say and make it sound so dirty!!
I think I might get even crazier if I spend more time with her, or rather pay her to spend her time with me. You get the idea, us together, bad for my health.
But still I laughed and she did as well “I’m taking a shower” I said heading to the shower totally expecting her to say something like ‘Let’s save some water’ then she would walk to me like the night before and start pushing me towards the bathroom while making that sexy face she does. She will push me inside and lock the door behind her always looking into my eyes with her naughty chocolate ones, ordering me to get in and start the shower, I turn on the cold water so we could freshen up as our hot bodies collide with each other in a fierce battle for dominance.
Entering the shower she smiles biting the corner of her lower lip just a little, she will walk to me and slam my body against the wall and getting to her toes to reach my lips we started making out, the heat of our bodies combined with the cold water falling from above made her skin raise in goose-bumps like a tsunami and she untangled our tongues to laugh at her body’s reaction and I do as well.
We continue savoring each other and proceed to have hot shower sex and we end up tangled on the floor breathing heavily and laughing at dirty comments she would make about how I make her LITERALLY ALL WET and I won’t stop blushing and she will tell me I’m cute so I would try to give her my most badass-look but would only make it worse and she’d just mock me even louder.
So yeah, that never happened.
Instead of having my hot shower sex fantasy she just said “Have fun” and immediately went back to sleep, like literally in an instance she was out, I stared for a while incredulous and after a moment a smile started forming in my mouth and I chuckled walking to the shower.
I turned the shower on and close my eyes, letting the water cool me down.
My mind relaxed and took me to the time I was a slave and when I bath with my love Erza, obviously we didn’t have hot shower sex you perverted minds but instead we just showered together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. It was weird that they gave us a chance to shower, because we’ll just get full of dirt the next day but believe me when I say it felt like glory.
“Miss Erza Scarlet would you promise to shower with no one but myself for every day of your life” “I do”
That was just one part of our ‘marriage’ vows. I remember then all but I’d rather not so…
I opened my eyes and the lone tear that ran down my cheek got lost in the thousand drops that fell in my face and rolled down my body. I rubbed my eyes to stop any unwanted tears that dare to come and just breathe in and exhale slowly.
I bet she has showered with other men.
