First kiss

"You know how to cook ?" she asked surprised.

" Yes it's not complicated and you Ayumi ? " She doesn't know how to cook, whereas I have learned to cook because of the time Rose and Louise spend on missions.

" I can only make instant noodles."

I start laughing then Ayumi hits me on the head then I get a bump.

"It's a good start, let's cook together."

"Yes, that's a good idea"

Ayumi goes and gets two aprons, and then she gives me one, we start making the food. I do the onions, and she does the vegetables, but she shrivels them up more than anything else, but it doesn't matter because at least we have a good time together and then once the meal is ready we admire what we have prepared.

"We managed to make curry, it looks pretty good visually" I say

" Yes, you're right, now we just have to taste it to see if it's good"

I take a spoon and then take some of the curry and swallow it

"So is it good or not ? "

I smile and have tears in my eyes

" It's that bad Ava"?

"You should try it."

I use my spoon to take some curry and then put it in Ayumi's mouth.

I see her blush, and it takes a second to realize that we've just had an indirect kiss.

"The meal is so good that it's." I said.

" Since last night I've been eating nothing but noodles, it's good to eat a real dish" she says crying

We both eat in a good mood and when we finish we get up to watch TV on the sofa.

" What do you want to watch?" asked Ayumi

"I don't know let's see what works"

We watch TV then it's a love series where the hero wants to save his beloved. I'm really focused on this series, there was a time when I often watched it with Rose and Louise. It reminds me of my childhood all over again.

Ava flashback

I and Ayumi are playing, and then we stop, and I am standing on a swing.

" When I will be older I'm going to be a mage so I can protect everyone I love, even you Ayumi." I say confident.

" I'll be able to take care of myself Ava don't worry." she is an independent woman after all.

" I'll be the hero and you'll be the one I have to save." I said laughing.

" Yes, it will be great"

End of the flashback

I think that's when I fell in love with her, I was so confident that day, I wanted to make her my wife in the future.

" He's a pretty good hero, but there is better." I say getting up from the couch.

" Please sit down Ava" she said laughing.

"Yes sorry." I sit down again.

I turn around and watch at the TV, and we see the hero kissing his beloved, I have an idea.

"Tell me, have you ever had your first kiss?" I asked with a naughty smile.

She blush and laugh a little embarrassed, but she finally answers.

" No you have Ava? " I was only interested in her before, and then I thought so much about my revenge that I forgot about love.

" No I've never kissed anyone." I admit with a somewhat generic smile, in my 15 years of existence I had never had a first kiss or a girlfriend.

" Oh I see."

"How about we kiss now?" She's not going to refuse and if she does, I'll have confirmation of her feelings towards me.

I get very close to her and I feel her heart speed up in her chest.

"Uh I..." I back up a little bit.

"Would you be tempted to have your first kiss with me." I'm going to make her crazy about me and then break her heart.

She takes her courage in both hands then she approaches me in the hope of kissing me, but when her lips are close to mine the door opens at the same time and I see a little disappointment in on her face.

"It's us Ayumi we came to see you" say Alya

" Yes, so we can have a girl's afternoon." respond Chloe

" Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow Ayumi" I said getting up.

"Yes goodbye" she adds.

I get up and to leave and Ayumi looks a little disappointed.

"Did we interrupt you?" asked Chloe

"No don't worry its nothing. "I said before walking out the door and closing it again. She looked so disappointed it was almost hilarious.

I take my phone out of my pocket and see that I have a message from Lydia.

Meet me in my room as soon as you have some free time, so you can give me an update on the mission.

I don't take the time to answer and just decide to go to the castle. Of course his hugeness will always impress me. I pass by the place Theyla showed me before crossing, as I like to call it, the labyrinth that leads to her room.

Once there I knock and hear noises and objects moving before the door opens. Lydia is standing in front of it wearing a basic t-shirt and trousers and her hair is pulled back into a ponytail.

She has no make-up on, but her natural beauty is more than sufficient and her blue eyes are always unmissable beautiful.

"You come in or you wait for me to send you an invitation" she said mockingly.

Anyway she seems to be in a very good mood today, she smiles more than usual.

"Your grace, you seem to be in a very good mood today," I said as I entered her room, she closed the door, and we were alone in her room.

"Let's just say I had a good day, you tell me about the progress of the plan with Ayumi," she says before handing me some biscuits and juice that were sitting on her bedside table.

"Well, everything's going well, I really feel like she's developing feelings for me, she even almost got my first kiss earlier," I said a little too cheerfully.

I see a smirk on her face before she approaches me, I should never have told her that, she probably finds it hilarious.

"So you've never kissed anyone," she says teasingly.

"Yes...." I say very embarrassed.

"You want me to fix it," she says flirtatiously. How can she offer me this when she is a princess?

Should I say yes or would she be offended if I said no, I really don't know what to say to that.

"I mean, I would be happy if I could offer you a kiss." She pauses. "Would you like that?"

"I....I..." I swallow, hoping she will not notice my embarrassment. "Well, I'm a very passionate kisser." She gives me a quick kiss on the cheek. I stand there, not wanting her to stop, the kiss seems to have awakened something in me.

Our eyes meet, I quickly pull her into a kiss. She wraps her arms around my waist and hugs me tightly.

She rests her head on my shoulder, I push my head on her back kissing her neck, breathing deeply. I give her another kiss and pulls her closer. I hear her breathless, her breath mingling with my breath. Kissing her passionately, I notice her breathing, her chest is pressed against mine, her neck, her whole body is pressed against me, I can feel every breath, every heartbeat, every movement of her body. I don't want to stop kissing her, I kiss her a little bit harder, I kiss her so that I can breathe more deeply.

I pull away suddenly and hug her fiercely. She leans back, breathing heavily, her body is shivering.

She catches my eye and smiles.

"That was lovely," she says, smiling a smile that is almost shy. I do not know what she means by that. I just hug her again, laughing at myself. She hugs me back, breathing heavily.

" You have to go now," she whispers into my ear, kissing my cheek again. "Remember this."
