Immortal Ballad *ON HOLD*

Love?/Deal or No Deal

LOVE?

"Brother!" Alecxa yelled. "Irial!"

"What?" he yelled back from his room. "What is it?"

"We need to talk." she entered his room and laid next to him.

"About what?" he asked. He put his arm around her. She turned on her side and got closer to him until her back was to his chest. He tried not to smile it but couldn't help it.

"Father. He is trying to separate us."

"Yes so what?" he tried to act cool. "I thought you were bathing."

"Obviously I'm not. So what are you going to do about it?" she asked.

"Niente." He brought her closer to him. "What do you wish me to do?"

"I don't know!" Alecxa turned to face him and leaning on her left arm to get a good look at him. "Tell him about us."

"What is there to say?" he sighed. "That we've been fooling around? Making out, touching each other? Do you really want him to know this?" he touched her arm. She pulled away mad.

"Yes! Tell him you want to be with me and i with you. Tell him we love each other!"

she practically yelled at him.

"Calm down sister."

"Why don't you ever call me by my nome? Its always 'sister'." The change in topic was refreshing.

"I don't know... maybe because i have always thought of you as my sister."

"Just your sister nothing else?" she sat up and looked down at her hand.

"Lately... as something more but that does not change the fact that we are brother and sister. Your father thinks I'm good for nothing and my mother thinks you should be a courtesan in the street." Alecxa couldn't imagine herself as a courtesan. The only man she wanted was here next to her.

Alecxa laid back down and said, "I only want you." Irial smiled and kissed her. Again, it became intense. His arm went around her back to pull her closer. Her fingers gabbed a hold in his hair. With her hand she pulled him closer to her, making there kiss truly breath taking.

For ten minutes they kissed, stopping every few minutes to catch their breaths. The moment Irial moved on top of her, her heart pounded faster. For the longest time she had dreamt about the day he would make her his. Every night that their parents left them alone, she would picture them lying in bed together. She never got the courage to actually invite Irial to her bed, but it seemed the Gods wished it today.

Lorenzo entered his room the moment Irial placed his hand on Alecxa's thigh.

"Irial, have you see- " Lorenzo had been carrying a bag of groceries. When he saw them, he dropped them, making Alecxa jump. "Get off of her now!?" he yelled. Lorenzo pushed Irial to the floor away from Alecxa. "What do you think you are doing?!" he exclaimed.

"Padre!" Alecxa looked at Irial. "Stai bene?" He nodded.

"We weren't doing anything, sir." Irial said as he stood up.

"I know what i saw!" Lorenzo walked in front of Alecxa and asked, "Are you OK? Did he hurt you?"

"Of course not Father!" she had never before yelled at her Father. "Irial could never hurt me." Alecxa drew a deep breath and continued, "We were merely kissing." She saw his arm go up to slap her, she closed her eyes and turned away.

"Lorenzo, don't you dare hit her!" Irial exclaimed loudly. "Or by all the Gods i swear you will pay." Irial's face was filled with rage and passion. Alecxa had never seen so much hate in his eyes. Lorenzo lowered his hand and stepped to where Irial was. In a flash, Lorenzo's hand strike him down.
