(PREVIOUSLY ON DARKNESS BEFELL US)

I pressed her down on the bed and I pulled away a little she looked at me like she was confused,

"Why did you stop?" she asked slowly putting a strand of her hair behind her ear,

"I don't want to rush us, we have just been together for a few weeks and I think this might be a major step," I said looking in her eyes,

"I know it has not been a long time but I want to be with you Farath I am ready for the next step, I don't want you to hold back because you think you are rushing me," she said and smiled,

"Really? You want to do this?' I asked just to be sure,

"Yes I am sure I want you to be my first Farath and besides we have an etocrite problem, when do you think is the right time mmh?" she asked,

"You mean you have never been with anyone, ever?" I asked a bit in denial,

She nodded and smiled, "You?" she asked looking in my eyes,

"It is not my first time," I said, yes I did not believe in love but that did not mean I did not have my fair share of sexual pleasure

(NOW)

Santi (narration)

I looked up at Farath and he was sleeping his light snores just made me smile, yesterday was just wonderful, Farath made me his and I have no regrets he was so nice the whole time he cared for me and after we decided to stay in bed for the rest of the day until today, I rested my head on his chest and decided not to wake him up I wish I could stay like this forever, naked in sheets,

I was still thinking when I heard a beautiful deep voice,

"Good morning beautiful," I smiled and looked up at him,

"Good morning hotness," I said and he laughed a bit,

"How are you feeling?" he asked touching my hair,

"Am a bit sore but I am okay," I answered smiling,

"We have been in bed so long we need to take a shower," I added kissing his gorgeous lips, and he nodded,

He carried me to the shower room and put me down, I tried covering myself but he stopped me and smirked, "I have seen everything already,"

"Come on," he said as he held my hand and led me to the shower,

I joined but I was afraid the water was cold until it came down on me and I was relieved, he got the bathing liquid and squeezed in his palm, he brought his palm to my head and started massaging my head while cleaning my hair, I turned around and looked up at him he was really tall, he was so concentrated on my head and it made me smile, I wanted to massage his head too but he was so tall I could literally be on the tippy toes just to wash his hair,

I got the liquid and squeezed some in the loofah and ran it down his hot body, I put a lot of emphasis on his abs, Lord they were so damn hot, I just could not stop staring,

When we were done the water washed off the foam and we got out of the shower room

. . . . .

Farath had gone for a meeting with Karth and I could not stay in that room alone so I decided to move to the kitchen maybe Nen could be there, I was in the long hallway from Farath's room when Noth stopped me and he was smiling I must say I was surprised he would always just walk past me like I was nothing or more less nobody to him, he knew I was Nen's friend but still he treated me like trash, something so below,

"Santi how are you?" he said and I looked at him like he was not in front of me, before I would have been so happy that he finally noticed but no I felt nothing, it felt like I was talking to just another person,

"I am okay Noth thanks for asking," I replied, he scratched the back of his head and looked like he wanted to say something,

"Would you like to get something to eat later?" he asked looking at me,

"Actually no, why don't we just go back to when you thought and acted like I did not exist," I said looking at him almost smiling,

"It is not like that Santi, maybe everytime I saw you I was too busy for a talk but now am not," he said and I could not help but laugh,

"Yes it is exactly like that and I have to go see Nen she must be waiting for me," I said lying about the last part but he did not have to know that,

"Oh okay I am sorry for wasting your time," he said and I just walked off, I could not believe it, before him just saying hi or smile at me I would have melted but I see Farath has made sure to make all that fade away,

He was no longer the man I longed for, I had loved him for so many years that I could have done anything just anything to get his attention and I had always under looked the one that cared for me, the one that would always talk to me despite having a bad day, the one who treated me like I was the most precious thing to him,

But that changed just a few weeks ago when I got to know that he wanted to be with me, I must admit at first I was using him to forget about Noth but as time went on I actually realized that I loved him, I started to see that I wanted to see him all time, he made me laugh, when I realized that my mind was made up I wanted to be with Farath and with that I did not even realize that he was slowly making my feelings for Noth fade away,

I wanted to be with Farath forever, he was like the air I breathe everyday

. . . . .

I walked to the kitchen and found Nen and Tora sitting at the island seeing something on Tora's acbook,

"Hey," I said and their eyes left the acbook and smiled at me,

"Hey, look who appeared huh," Nen said and I just smiled at her,

I went and sat next to Nen and Tora smiled and said a little hey, I looked at what they were seeing on the acbook, they were just seeing some video, and Tora got up and left Nen and I,

"I found Noth in the hallway," I said looking at Nen and she shot her eyes at me,

"And?" she asked smiling,

"He talked to me Nen can you believe it after all these years of being ghosted he actually talked to me," I said and drank a sip of my water,

"Oh my God it actually took him all these years to grow up," she said laughing,

"Yes but it is too late, do you know when he talked I could not believe it I looked around thinking he was talking to someone else even though he said my name I could not believe it Nen," I said and she laughed even more,

"I actually feel sorry for him yes he is my friend but he lost his chance and he had made up his mind at the last moment," she said and looked at her cup of tea,

"And only the Lord knows what he will do when he realizes that he lost his chance to Farath," she added looking at me and I looked back at her worried

"What do you think he will do Nen? " I asked slowly,

"Well I don't know but one thing is for sure he will be very angry... That I am sure of, " she said laughing at the last part, well I don't want him to hurt Farath, but I know Farath can take care of himself,

"But anyway besides that tell me about Farath huh I didn't see you around yesterday the whole day, " she added smiling at me,

"Well we finally did it, " I replied and hid my face in my palms,

She looked at me shocked, eyes widened and smiling from ear to ear then all of a sudden she pulled me in for a hug, she pulled away and wiped away fake tears, well she can be dramatic

"I cannot believe my best friend is growing up so fast, " Nen said wiping more fake tears and touching her chest with both her palms

I looked at Nen and I just cannot believe how much of an over dramatic queen she can be and just smiled at her,

"Oh come on Nen why do you have to be so dramatic, " I asked her and she laughed so hard,

"Okay okay Santi tell me tell me everything I want to know everything, " she said after catching a breath,

"No no Anensia you know I cannot tell you everything I can just tell you that Farath was very gentle and he took good care of me I know you are not going to believe this but I love him like I really do, " I said looking at her seriously but with a hint of a small smile,

Nen looked at me and then touched my cheeks, like I said my best friend is so dramatic, she kissed my forehead and smiled,

"Look I always thought you would be with Noth but I am also happy that you ended up with Farath he really is a good man and I know he will take good care of my best friend," Nen said smiling and I couldn't help but smile because she actually approved of Farath and that was enough,

When she turned back to sit on her seat, I looked at the door and saw Noth standing there emotionless, when Nen saw me look over her shoulder she turned too and saw Noth but when he saw that we noticed him he left immediately,

Nen turned to me and touched her forehead, "I think he heard everything we were talking about," she said giving me a sad smile and I heard nothing to say
