7 Chapter 7: Deluge

"Good morning." Delf was sitting by the study table doing something with his phone. He was putting up a smile. I don't know it it was fake or genuine. He seemed kind of odd today.

"Good morning." I told him quietly.

"You were asleep all night." He put both of his hands on his knees as if to say something important.

"Do you have something to say?" I raised the blanket to see if I still have clothes on or anything. I'm still clothed--I don't know if not doing it with him yesterday was good or bad.

"The Health Services checked on us a while ago. I told them that you were still asleep. I told them that something already happened to us. The conversation was fine until they told me that they know that nothing happened. I asked them how did they know that."

"Did they told you anything?"

"It seems that during your operation they might have put something inside your body that once a fertilization happened, a tracker instantly feeds the information to their database."

"What? Do you mean that they are observing us even in this room?"

"No. That's not the case. I already roamed around the room to see that there are no cameras inside this room. They just put vital trackers in our bodies. They might have checked our temperature and vital signs."

"I don't know. They may have been watching us. I'm afraid. Are they putting recorders in the house? I'm really…"

"Shhhh. They gave us a warning. Although it's not that grave. Many of the pairs haven't consummated yet too. They told me the details. Everything."

"Delf. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. What else did they told you?"

"As soon as you wake up, we're going to do it."

"What? I mean. Can we just eat breakfast first or wait until it gets dark?"

Delf shook his head.

"At least a bath wouldn't hurt right?"

He nodded and stood up, "I'm quite nervous and excited you know. It's going to be my first time with a person who is inexperienced. I can't wait. I'm going to bathe downstairs. You can use the bathroom here."

He enjoyed my dumbstruck expression and winked at me as he exited the room with a towel. I took a towel and went inside the bathroom. I didn't even protested.

I cleaned everything, bathed in the hot tub, soaped three times, showered, washed my hair two times, rinsed and showered again. I combed my hair and dried it thoroughly. I brushed my teeth three times and mouthwashed twice. I applied perfume, deodorant, some lotion here and there. I thought I was ready until the scars on my sides throbbed. I quickly wrapped myself in my towel to get my medicine in the bedside.

Delf was already there sitting opposite to where the door of the bathroom was. He was naked. No cloth was covering any part of him. His towel seperated his skin from the bed sheet.

"Hmmm. Ella, can I look at you now?"

"No. I'm not yet ready. I'm still getting ready. I'm taking my pain medications first."

I quickly walked towards the bathroom again to drink my medicine. It tasted bitter so I have to brush my teeth again. I put some make-up and I sprayed more perfume. I put my hair only to one side. I smiled on the mirror when he came knocking at the door.

"Ella, are you done?"

"Yes."

He opened the door. He was standing there naked. The bright lights of the bathroom highlighted his brown hair, tensed muscles and porcelain skin.

I was speechless for a couple of seconds.

"I was going to get outside though. I'm just fixing some... " he held my hand and lead me outside the bathroom. He closed the door and pointed at the bed.

"Sit down. Let's talk first before we get things done."

I nodded.
