Can we call this a relationship?

PRESENT DAY

Zion takes Cara back to Damien's mansion, she was already asleep in his arms when they got there. He took her to her room and tucked her in bed, then he went to the kitchen, made her honey tea for hangover and headed back to her room. When he stepped in, Cara is sat up and no longer sleeping.

"You are awake?" He handed the cup of tea to her, she accepts it with a smile, "thank you!"

He nodded then settled gently next to her on the bed, "are you uhm, are you feeling okay?"

"Yes!" She paused, "No! No I'm not!" She takes a deep shaky breath, "but I'll be fine, you are here with me afterall!"

Cara takes Zion's hand in hers, keeping aside the cup of honey tea on the bed drawer, "Thank you, and sorry!"

He tighten his hold on her, "always… if it's you!"

It was weird that after all this years, they are back to this stage. A decade ago, before she married John, Zion was the one she met first, he had a huge crush on her but backed away when his brother came into her life. And now that John is dead, it feels like his feelings for her have resurfaced.

Cara chuckled at the thought, "back at the goblin's den, you asked me why i was like this! you said "what about me?" And i know i've been…"

"Stop right there!" Zion interrupted, "don't um… you know how I've felt… I FEEL about you! But you loved John so much, i had to let you go. I'm sorry if i can't do that anymore, I'm not letting you go this time Cara!"

Her heart gallops, "I was not going to ask you to let me go!" She whispered.

Zion looked slowly up at her, "then, what were you going to ask me?"

"Is it okay if i um… if I feel the same?" She mumbled sheepishly.

Shocked, Zion scoffs, "are you sure you are not still drunk?"

She chuckle softly, "who knows? perhaps i am, but this moment it… it feels so right with you and i don't want it to pass. But I'm afraid!"

"Afraid of what?" He gently caressed her arm.

Cara looked away and speak distantly "Afraid of what this might become, you are John's brother and i… I could be directing my feelings for your brother towards you!"

He caress her cheek and lifted her face to look at him, "I'm not asking you to love me Cara, i just need your trust!"

"I trust you with my life Zion!" She leaned, bringing her lips an inch away from touching his, "and… i need you Zion!"

At her words, Zion pressed his lips on hers. Cara leaned to his touch and started kissing him back. In that brief moment, their souls became one. And as their tongues intertwine, she could feel the heat of their shared breaths and the thud of their combined heartbeats as they fumbled to take each other's clothes off.

Her heart was telling her to pull away but her body wasn't willing to.

That night, was the first magical night she's had since John died. Perhaps, it is time to move on.

The next morning, Cara woke up, softly groaned and tossed around thinking Zion was gone but to her surprise, he is still there and watching her sleep.

"You are still here?" She whispered.

"Do you regret it?" He asked with a stern expression.

She leaned and kiss him passionately, "uhm" he moaned softly.

She pulled away with a chuckle, "no, i don't regret it!"

Zion strokes her hair, eyes leering over her in mesmerization, "can i flaunt myself and call this 'thing' we have going on a relationship?"

"Yes!" She nodded, "let's call it that!"

Zion chuckled excitedly and pulled Cara into his embrace, she hugged him back tightly, "Thank you for last night Zion!

"Anytime!" He planted a deep kiss on her forehead and they both chuckled.

ACROSS THE CITY

Blair decided to explore Oak city, ever since she arrived, she's been stuck in the mansion. She was strolling down the street when a strange woman suddenly jumped in her face, "Hey you, are you human? You look human to me!"

Blair reflexively leaned away from her, "the fuck are you?"

"You are human, aren't ya'? The woman asks again.

"No, I'm not!" Blair frowned.

"Look, there's a secret meeting going on between us humans!" She leaned and lowered her voice, "You know the goblin's den right? Come there tomorrow at night, i will meet ya' there, and don't be late!" With those words, the woman briskly walks away, disappearing into the corner.

Blair scoffs in disbelief "What the actual fuck?"
