Family of Greek Gods: Four

One year later
Nash POV: Age - 17
I stand outside the restaurant nervously watching by the window. She's already here, waiting for me. I finally managed for her to accept an invitation to come out with me, alone, just her and me. I want to confess my love for her to her but I'm too nervous. I take a deep breath and going inside I join her at the table. Her first comment, although harsh, makes me laugh.
Kelly-You're late.
-I......sorry. You look good. For the lack of enough words to give it justice.
Kelly-I already ordered for both of us. I hope you don't mind.
-Is alright, I can eat wathever I get. Is all food.
I stop speaking as she toys with a strand of my hair, the single red strand that defines me, and I smile.
-Kelly.
Kelly-I like this strand of your red hair a lot. It suits you. It is natural, right?
-It is. All of me is natural and I would like you to know me better.
Kelly-We already know each other.
-No, I mean................
I clear my throat as I hold her hand away and pushing away me nerves and embarrassment I ask.
-Would you be my girlfriend?
She sits straighter processing my words and we look at each other before I look away even more ashamed than before.
Kelly-No, don't look away.
She gently makes me look back at her and I tense up.
Kelly-I would be more than happy to be your girlfriend.
I chuckle very softly but I still ask.
-What else?
Kelly-I would have liked it more if you asked before.
-I had so many ideas. I got to look good for you.
Kelly-You already look good and the only way to look better is seeing all sides of you.
-All sides?
Kelly-You know, romantic you, smart you, mean you.
She laughs and I brush her cheek gently.
Kelly-The caring and the gentle.
-I don't like to be so soft, at least in public.
Kelly-I thought as much but you know what, that's good because that way you're my softie and only mine.
-Nothing would make me happier.
We share a kiss and of course, at first is all good and well but as we kiss my instincts kick in and so I react.
I grab her by the waist and close to me I pull her out of harm's way wich I realize almost too late that is an attack on me directly.
Kelly-Nash.
-Stay there!
I glance briefly at her and as I do I smile as she's alright but turning back to my enemy I have not a single second to think, I only react defensively until in a moment I lose my grip on my sword and I lose it further before I can get it back. I hear her scream but the words don't process but, strange enough, I think better without the sword and avoiding him and his attacks. I keep out of his reach but I need to be on his reach to knock him out and so I take the risk and on his next swing I catch his sword with my bare right hand and not using force but instinct I use my left hand and I hit his shoulder immobilizing his other arm. That makes him try and cut me deeper but I don't let him instead I push slightly to the side and as I do he asks.
?-You do know that you're just delaying your death.
-That's what you think.
I move my body sideways and I kick him on the head and as he falls I catch him from behind in a triangle choke and at first he swings his now free sword wildly. It gradually stops as he loses conciousness and when he goes numb in my arms is when I let him go and so I rush towards Kelly.
-Are you alright?
She clings to me and I hold her gently.
Kelly-Let's get away from here.
-Let's go. The police can handle this without us.
I hold her up in my arms and so I speed away and back home.

Once I'm at home with my girlfriend I finally relax on the couch.
Kelly-Are you alright?
-Mmhmm.
Kelly-That doesn't sound like you're alright.
I chuckle at that but I flinch away when she grabs my hand.
Kelly-The vulnerable side.
-Really?
Kelly-Let me heal your hand.
-There's a first aid kit on the bathroom.
Kelly-I'll be right back then.
She goes to where I pointed at and with a sigh I follow her and I find her being curious on my room. I grab the first aid kit and speak.
-I can see you found the kit and my bedroom.
Kelly-Is not like I thought but I'm not disappointed with it.
She looks at the bed and I smile.
-Go on. Try it.
I laugh as she laughs and enjoys my bed completely.
Kelly-No surprise you look good. With a bed like this you can get a very good night's sleep and wake up looking as handsome as you look. You still look good, even wounded like you are.
-Glad to know that.
Kelly-Well then, let me heal you now and then we can enjoy your room.
I give her the kit and my hand and we sit face to face as she heals me.
Kelly-How in the world do you hurt yourself willingly.
-The only pain we feel is when we make sacrifices and even then we barely feel it.
Kelly-So if I kiss it better it might actually work?
-It will definitely work.
Kelly-Later. Let me admire you.
-Sure. You can watch me all you want.
Kelly-No, I mean, shirtless.
-Shirtless?
Kelly-We have to make the most of being in the privacy of your room.
-Sure, come here, let's do something else. More fun.
I hold her hands and kissing her quickly I speak and ask.
-Would you like to undress me yourself?
Kelly-Oh. Yes please. Just an innocent erotic game.
A loud laugh escapes me and it takes me a while to calm down but when I do I look at her as she undresses me slowly.
-There is nothing innocent in an erotic game.
Kelly-I know.
She holds my wounded hand and she kisses the bandage gently.
Kelly-There is something sexy about this bandage. So very sexy.
She makes an expression that definitely sends my heart racing to my throat and I have to clench my jaw just to hold myself. I groan as I lean back on the bed feeling good at how she touches me with her soft hands.
Kelly-You're so handsome. I'm enjoying this, are you?
-Oh yeah. I don't have enough words to express how good this is.
I sit up and holding her waist steadying her on my lap I squeeze tight.
-If you let me I would like to touch you as well.
Kelly-More gentleman than you let on, I like it. You want to touch?
-Yes. Please.
Kelly-Go on.
We kiss and the kiss grows into a playful wrestling where we touch each other and we enjoy exploring ourselves. We end up in a position that gives me complete control over her. She lies face down on the bed shirtless and I get on top of her. I kiss her back making her laugh and smile.
-You're so soft. I like your body.
Kelly-Mutually felt.
I kiss her back and leaning slightly sideways I get her bra loose and I touch the newly exposed skin gently. She moves gently and realizing she fell asleep I close her bra again and I adjust her on the bed and under the blankets before I stretch and kissing her forehead I go to the kitchen and grab a snack before I get comfortable in the couch of the living room and I watch videos on my phone as I eat and eventually, I fall asleep.

Noah POV: Age - 26
I wake up one morning and finding that my wife is not on the bed with me I sit up awake now.
-Midnight.
I sigh and getting up I smile when, as I suspected, I find her on the kitchen eating one of her strange cravings.
-Juliette.
J-Hi love. Want some?
-No but thank you. You girls need it more than me.
She laughs and I sit in front of her as she eats.
J-You can touch if you want.
-Is she kicking?
J-No. She's calm now that I'm feeding her.
I caress our unborn child slightly before I just sit and watch her eat. We stay silent until she finishes eating satisfied and I help her back to bed to sleep. It takes about an hour but finally she manages to get comfortable and falls asleep and I too fall asleep immediately after I'm sure she's asleep.
A few days later we go to the family reunion at my dad's apartment, seven of us all together, five adults and two little girls. Soon is going to be eight because my wife is pregnant. As we get to dad's place I help her down from the car.
J-Thank you.
-I will never leave you. I love you more than myself.
She makes a face but we go inside and we take the elevator up.
-How is she doing today?
J-She's a good girl but I'm scared.
-Why?
J-Right now she's a good girl but what about after she's born, what if she has the energy of a tornado?
-I can control a tornado.
J-Noah.
She slaps my chest and I laugh as the doors open and she gets out and pulls me out by the hand.
-Wait up. I was joking, calm down. I'm sorry.
I pull her to me in a gentle hug and I speak softly.
-Forgive me.
J-You can control a tornado.
-I can but I could never control our daughter. Sorry for insinuating it.
J-Is passing. It was just the spur of the moment.
-Shall we go inside then? We can go home or well, wathever you want.
J-Let's go inside. I like family day.
I nod and so I knock on the door. We don't have to wait long for it to open and is my brother who opens.
Liam-Little brother.
He wraps me in a hug that I return and we laugh when we pull apart.
Liam-Is so good to see you.
-Mutually felt.
Liam-How do you feel? Is he good with you?
J-He's perfect.
Liam-Come on inside, we were waiting for you to arrive.
He helps her inside and I close the door as we go inside.

We join everyone on the living room where dad is holding my youngest niece Arunika on his arms. Rosabella is playing on the floor with her mother and I smile at the sight.
-How cute.
I brush a knuckle on Arunika's head very slightly before I step back and with my wife on our seat. Dad serves the meals right where we are on the living room and we eat as we speak. I finish my food first of everyone and I am a bit disoriented when my sister in law speaks to me.
Laura-Noah.
She snaps her fingers getting my attention and I smile holding her hand still on a stop.
L-Would you like to feed Rosabella?
-The, I'm doing what now?
L-She wants you.
-Hmm.
J-Go on. Wouldn't you want to be a good uncle for her?
-Is, I can't do it. I won't do it.
I repeat myself a few times but in the end I do it and she falls asleep on my lap afterwards. I keep her until the time comes that we all leave to go to our respective homes and places at last.
