804words
No! Stop assuming my sanity, you hoe! I'm not a slut like you! In no world can I make love to Lord Akagi! Akagi shouted.
Eh? Melissa looked confused.
I-I mean—
Well, he spoke for me. Vierne blew a cloud of smoke and coughed.What the hell! This body is so weak!
Stop smoking. I will die! Akagi snatched the cigarette from her.
Well, demigods can purify their bodies so cigarettes won't work on us, sir
Why don't you just keep him to yourself? Lict whispered to Melissa.
Nah, dirty romance is always entertaining when it's happening with others. Melissa smiled.
After the dinner, Akagi started moving to Vierne's room with Lict.
Why are you coming along? Lict stopped.
Why? Can't I go to my own room? Akagi asked.
Yes, go to your own room! Vierne pushed Akagi away. Melissa grabbed Akagi's hand and pulled him to his room. Lict covered Vierne with the blanket and switched off the lights.
Goodnight, Milady. If you need anything, just call for me, He smiled and got up. Vierne grabbed his shirt and pulled him down,
Aren't you gonna sleep with me? She looked into his eyes.
You refused me to do so, Lict looked away.
Then I'm saying this to you now. Sleep with me! Vierne ordered.
Yes, Milady, Lict said. Vierne smirked,
Lict, She spread her arms and looked at him, Change my robe,
Milady, are you okay? You seem unwell Lict said.
I'm completely fine! Lict, you're my butler, so you should dress me up once in a while. Show off your dressing skills. Vierne said.
On second thoughts, sleep alone, Milady. Goodnight.
Why are you such a mood killer? Vierne clicked her tongue.
Because I don't like it. Lict turned his back towards her as he stood at the door, You give mixed signals. At one point you are like I mean the world to you and the next you are like I don't exist in this world. Do you like me or you don't? Tell me so that I can be sure of my feelings too. I want to love you too and hold you and stay with you. I have been waiting for you to turn eighteen. But when I see your lack of interest, I feel like giving up. And then you raise me up again. You don't let me give up. Tell me, do you like me?
'Oh look, what have I got myself into? What should I say now?' Vierne covered herself with the blanket again, Goodnight Lict, She heard footsteps and suddenly he rose her blanket and got on top of her.
'Oh no, not right now!' Wait, Lict—
I want to hear it from your mouth. Move your lips, Milady. Tell me, do you like me? Tell me that it's not just me. I was so sure of you before but now I'm not. I always feel like you're hiding a part of you away from me. And it hurts that you don't trust me enough because I trust you with my life. Why do I want you—I don't know. But I know it was fated to be you and I want it to be you till the end. I would never hurt you, Milady. Would you hurt me?
Vierne looked into his eyes, 'Oh damn.'
I won't
Then?
'I wish someone would love me like Lict loves Vierne. Melissa, why can't you be like this?'
I like you too, Lict,
'This is what Vierne would answer, I guess. Well, fuck it! This is what I want her to answer!'
I can't read your mind, Lict looked into her eyes.
'Well, because I'm not your master.'
Really?
I wonder why. Given how much of an overthinker you are, it's strange. He chuckled and moved away from her and walked to the door. Vierne put the blanket back over her, Milady,
Yes, Lict?
Can I imagine a future...with you and me?
I guess.
He smiled gently, Goodnight, Milady.
He closed the door and the room was dark. Vierne lay quietly at one place and looked outside the window, I should stop messing around. Now is my chance. She got down from the bed and walked towards the huge cupboards of the Vierne's room. There was nothing to his importance. He was about to give up when something fell from the upper shelves. It was a pocket watch that opened and had a photo inside it. Two women and one man, She looks just like Vierne. These might be her parents. But who is that other woman?
