Forty four

"What?" David asked as he looked at me with his cold eyes. For a moment i felt bad about everything I've put him through as i saw his sadness.

But it wasn't me. He should blame destiny for any of his struggles. Besides I just saved him. Everything else shouldn't be on me.

"These assholes." I pointed at Lyska and PK.

"What?" I ignored them and looked at him. He took a look at them then at me.

"Should I?"

"You said I should always be responsible and at least act my part. Ain't you gonna kill them?" I reminded him of his words but he ignored me too and left, like i did.

"Did you just sell us out?" PK asked with the voice of the most loyal comrade who just learned he was betrayed after a long tedious reign of devotion.

"You son of a bitch!" Lyska said with the same pain but i disregarded them.

"You sold me out way more than i can count, now screw off."

I waved my hand, expeling them out of the island before they cussed me out for ages.

"That was rude." Tiyane commented as i faced her.

"No, it wasn't. Those guys beat me up way more than i can count. Lys also killed me a million times before and sometimes my heart aches befcause of those wounds. I'm just returning the favour in the kindest way possible. Where were we?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Can I kiss you again?"

"Hhm?" She stepped back with a blush.

"That was my first kiss in thousands of years. Can i have an encore please?" I could feel myself getting creeped out by the request and growing afraid she would refuse me. But i am brave and i put a brave face on.

She frowned as i continued.

"Can i please?"

"What?"

"I know, loosing one's lip virginity isn't..."

"No, wait? Wat do you mean thousands of years?"

"I'm seven thousand years old. Now can i get that kiss again?"

"Wait, you are a seven thousand years old?"

"Yeah."

"And a virgin?"

"Yes. And why are you laughing about it?"

"As in seven triple zero, years old and a virgin?"

"Why are you making it sound bad?" I asked her.

"No, im just, flabbergasted. How did you survive the urges all those years?"

"I haven't had had them. Maybe once."

Her mouth dropped and looked at my privates.

"What you looking at?" Naughty girl. I asked covering them.

"Are they alive?"

"Yeah they alive. Whats you getting at?"

"Nothing just..." She turned and asked with a frown that did a terrible job at hidding her smile.

"For your information i am a healthy young man. I cant die except when I'm killed or around hundred thousand years old."

"Tell me you're not a complete complete virgin, you've kissed somebody and that wasn't your first kiss."

"I've kissed somebody before." Her face darkened as she asked "who and when?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I dont know. Just answer me, who and when?"

"I had my first kiss two thousand years ago."

"Two...?"

"Yeah."

"With who?"

"Kiara."

"Is she... like you?"

"No, but she died."

"I'm sorry, how did she...?"

"She was shot by her people and..."

"I'm sorry, i... didn't mean..."

"It's okay. At least i know she did love me, even though for three days she pretended she didn't and refused to date me or consider me a suitor. But i would have loved it if it wasn't an act of her last breath."

I looked at her and i saw tears gleam in her eyes and she massaged her chest.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Im okay. I didnt mean to bring up your ex you still cant forget." Was she jealous? Really?

I wanted to laugh but i suppressed it. I took her into my arms and hugged her.

"I'm sorry i didn't mean to hurt you." I apologized as i patted her back.

"I'm sorry i feel jealous."

"Its natural. But in your case its..." i looked at her, her tearful eyes melted me and made me question my decision to tell her she is probably kiara. Would she break if i told she is probably the one who broke my heart for two thousand years?

"I dont think you should apologize." She looked away and hugged me tight. "Ive felt jealous too of you. Your first love, i wanted to kill him when you told me about him."

"It was you." She whispered. She looked at me in the face and repeated. "It was you. In 2012, you saved me from being hit by a car and...I've been in love with you since." She admitted as she burried her face on my chest.

I blinked as i thought of it. Me? Save her? I thought of all car accidents I've prevented and none ringed the bell.

"I dont reme..." the last schoolday before i changed schools and left Lobatse. I remebered the girl who fell in the middle of the road and i dragged her out of it as she struggled for air.

That was her?

"The pale asthmatic girl? That was you?" I asked her. It didnt make sense. My powers worked on her. But its not meant to work on her.

"Yes. I still remember the words you told me from back then, "stay alife and life would turn into a fairy tale." I hope this is what you meant."

A circle now complete. I remembered the grand watcher's last words and lesson from seven years ago. The power of seven for guardians and gods, Karma, a circle drawn in reverse.

"Aren't you taking all this way too well?" I started to worry about her mental health.

"No. I stopped listerning a few hours ago and I'm just considering this just a scary sweet dream. That's why I'm going to do this." She pasted lips on mine before sucking my breath out of my lungs, something even space can't do.

I froze. My dick stood at attention once more but she broke off the kiss after a second a looked away. "Can you take me to the farm? I still want a horse ride.

Whaaaat?

"What... what about the kiss?" I asked once i woke from my stupor. But my head still refused to move a single gear.

"What about it?"

"Aren't..." She just kissed me and... is she gonna pretend we didn't even kiss?

"Let's go. I don't want to wake up yet." She made the puppy eyes Eun Tak always made to blackmail me. "Please?"

"Uhn, okay."

"No, wait, did i see everything here?"

"No." I cleared my head. "If you were an ant exploring a human body, you would have seen only the nail."

She looked at me as though she didn't get the comparison.

"This island exists in between the planes of existences so you can't explore even fifty percent of it."

"What do you... can we go to the farm. Its realistic. Not this place." The cracks in her psyche were starting to show from the way she was...

I listerned to her heart beat and focused on the flow of energy passing through her.

A hole opened on her heart. A hole that reminded me a lot of a sword wound and the trace of my energy seeped into the hole, filling it a little.
