Chapter Twenty-Eight

Two Weeks Later

"Already? No...no I got it. Yes, double everything. I-of course I have enough creds! I'm not king of the richest planet for nothing, you know!"

I watched with amusement as Asurah argued on the headset, his long white hair curled up into a bun on the top of his head. And I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face as he placed his hands on his wide hips, annoyance crossing his features as the other person said something to him.

The past two weeks have been nothing short of amazing. Asurah has been even more comfortable about our relationship than ever before, even going so far as to kiss me on the cheek in front of his visitor, who was the king of some planet, or whatever. It was a huge step for the both of us, being able to display our affections for one another in front of an audience, and while Asurah was still shy about it, I, on the other hand, was completely over thrilled. I had been the happiest I've ever had been in my entire life. Asurah was still sweet and naive as ever, more so since we finally announced that we were in a relationship. Nothing near marriage, though, hopefully we would be together long enough for that to be made possible. I wouldn't mind spending my life with him. He was just that lovable.

"Ugh! I hate it when the freaking shipment people ask me if I can "afford" double shipment. Like, really? Does the title King not mean anything?" Asurah huffed, plopping down next to me on the hovering couch, leaning his head against the back of it as he stared at me helplessly.

I couldn't help the way my eyes trailed over the expanse of his pale neck, down to his perfect collarbone, lower to his pale chest that was on display by a half-jacket. His legs were also on display, thanks to his bottoms, the sides slit up to his hips, giving me a view of those pale thighs of his. Asurah snapped in my face, making my eyes snap away from those perfect hips of his.

"Eyes up here, Jo."

I snickered, leaning back as I crossed my arms over my chest. "Wasn't that the first thing you said to me when we met?"

Asurah paused, his brows pulling down until they rose back up. "Oh yeah! I think so. Gosh, that seems so long ago. It's only been a month though."

"And look at us now." I smiled, watching as Asurah blushed and nodded.

"Leave it to a human to finally get me out of my "love is evil" shell," he laughed, making me grin as his face lit up.

I smirked, scooting closer to him so that our legs were touching. "Well, of course. That's how these things usually go in movies."

Asurah snorted, whacking me on the arm. "Movies are just moving pictures based on some demented dude's head. Although...I admit...the few, and when I say few, I mean very few, movies I watched, they weren't actually that bad."

I pointed to the albino, making him raise his eyebrows in inquiry. "We need to get you addicted to movies. Lucky for you, I am a movie hoard, so when my Ma's ready to board the ship, I'll let her know to bring a few movies."

Asurah nodded, standing up as he stretched, my eyes on him like a hawk as the slim muscles in his stomach shifted. Gah, I couldn't keep my eyes off of him! He was such a beautiful man that I couldn't keeps my eyes from him even if my life depended on it.

Instead on dwelling on my dirty thoughts, I instead watched with curiosity as he placed his hands onto his hips, turning to face me as he cocked his hip to the side. "So...ah...what do you want to do today? We could go shopping again, or we could just hang out...or..." He paused, wrinkling his nose. "What do people who go out do? Is it the same things that friends do? I've never been in...well...an actual relationship before, so I have literally no idea on how to go about this."

I stood up, walking over to him and pulling him to me by his waist. His hands rested on my chest, my arms around him as I smirked. "Well, I can think of a few things."

Asurah's eyes went wide as a blush dashed across his pale cheeks. He smacked me in the arm as I laughed, clearly embarrassed at the underlying meaning. "We've been together for only two weeks. You can keep it in your pants a little longer. Besides..." his blush darkened immensely as he looked away, embarrassed, "I'm not ready for that yet."

I nodded, pressing a kiss to his forehead. "I figured. That, dear Ash, was my failed attempt at flirting. You're not the only one new to relationships. Or, well, I'm not used to one so serious."

"I'm not used to them at all. I've never even had a crush on anyone before."

I raised my eyebrow in shock, though my mouth was twisting into a teasing smile. "Wait, really? Are you serious? Not even a little crush?"

Asurah shook his head and shrugged, tilting his head in an adorable manor. "Not really. I've been king since I was seventeen. I didn't really have time to be crushing on anyone. Not to mention, it didn't help that I had sworn myself away from love. And see how that turned out?"

I laughed, giving him a sensual kiss on those perfect lips of his. He gave a content sigh as he kissed me back slowly, our lips mingling as one. I pulled away for breath and admired the way that a stray strand of white hair fell in between Asurah's eyes, making him look utterly precious. "Well," I said, continuing on our conversation, "I'm glad I'm the one that was given the ultimate privilege to thaw out that icy heart of yours."

"Ha. Overconfident much?" Asurah winked at me, making me bite my bottom lip and go in for another kiss.

We pulled away once more when we both needed to breathe, our arms still wrapped around one another as we stood alone in the room. "So, we could go out to eat, or something. At a restaurant. You were saying how you didn't know what people in a relationship do, and that's what they do. Well, a small part of it, but we're still in the early stages." I suggested, making Asurah glance at me curiously.

"You just eat? That's kind of boring, isn't it?"

I snickered, patting him on the cheek and making him purse his lips adorably. "Oh honey, you have a lot to learn. Any places here to eat?"

Asurah nodded, absentmindedly playing with the hair at the nape of my neck. "There is a town not far from the palace. I'm sure there are a few restaurants to choose from. Do you like spicy food? Or does spicy food not agree with you? What? Don't give me that look, I've heard stories, you know. Not everyone can handle spicy food."

"I can handle spicy food. I can't handle seafood though. Something about the taste makes my stomach churn all weird-like." I said, making Asurah giggle, snorting when his giggling got a little out of control.

I stared at him, mouth open in amusement as Asurah blushed, covering his nose and mouth. "I didn't mean to do that." He said quickly, making me laugh and press a kiss on his forehead.

"That was the cutest damn thing I have ever witnessed in my entire life. You should definitely do that more often."

"I sound like a dying pig, how the hell is that cute?"

"Pigs are cute. What you speak is blasphemy."

"You humans are so weird, you know that?"

"That's what makes us awesome."

Asurah laughed and pecked me on the lips, rushing away with a giggle when I tried to deepen the kiss. "Catch me if you can!"

I snorted, my hands held to my sides. "What are we, eight?"

"If you want to go out to dinner, you must catch me first," Asurah responded with a smirk, his hands behind his back as he walked backwards. "Unless you're not fast enough."

My mouth went agape. "Are you...challenging me? Well, if that's the case..." I bolted towards him, making him squeak and begin running.
