With such important information, we went back to our room, on way back Valeria told me that she will go take a shower and that we will meet in the room, but I went with her because I wanted to take a shower too. We came into a shower room and locked the door, we did not want anyone to bother us. I pressed a button on the shower and hot water began to flow. I started to undress and Valeria was doing the same, when we were done, she came to me and said with a blink in the eye.
"What about we go into the same shower, to not waste water, you know."
"We could do that but only if you locked the door, we have to be careful as Julius said."
Valeria checked the door and then came to me.
"The door is locked, shall we?" She asked.
We stepped into a shower, water was hotter than I expected so it burned my skin a little bit, Valeria was right behind me and when we were in the shower she dived her head into the water flow, I was standing and watching how water was falling on her body, I liked it. When she showered head, she came to me, kissed me and dragged me under the water flow too. Now we both were under that water flow and were laughing, after a couple of minutes heard someone knocking on the door, we stopped the water and ran out of the shower. We both took a towel and wrap it around a waist, before unlocking the door. Behind them we heard a group of upset girls who wanted to take a shower too, they were shouting and were very angry at us.
After a while of listening to their shouting we opened the door and ran out as fast as we could, Valeria even managed to flip a bird on them, which made them even angrier but they did not run after us. When we were away from them, we stopped and started to laugh like hell.
When we came into our room, we again did not know what to do. I took a book into my hands and was looking on it, Valeria noticed it and said:
"This is Odyssey, I read this one to you yesterday but you fell asleep, do you wanna start again?"
"Yeah, sure we can read it if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't. Let's get into it."
We laid on the bed and Valeria started to read.
She was reading until afternoon, then we realised that was lunch time, so we put the book away and went into a canteen. On the way, Valeria told me that she could make me a hairstyle, which I found very pleasing.
In the canteen we were as first, no one was there yet, we set to the same table as in the morning and were waiting for others. We took water and we just talking, about Citadel, about how it will look like there, what kind of people will be there, what will do after the two years which we have to spend in the Citadel itself. We came to that, that we both would like to become healers, because we would be able to help people and I would find support to my cause among them. First, we would work for some existing pharmacy and over time we would open something on our own, it would be great to have a pharmacy or even a hospital.
As we were talking more and more, I was realising that both of us are now more focusing on the future together and not about my revenge and I was thinking about it, I came to that, that I am very selfish, until now I was thinking about myself, not anyone else and that was a mistake.
I came to the outcome: I should more focus on the presence and future than the past, I have spent past two years by looking into the past and now is time to move forward.
