They are One

Clutching the damp towel in her hands, Aisha uses it to dry her wet hair. The humid air this night is far too muggy and hot, and she always hated using hairdryer to dry her hair. She hated the heat of it, making her feel slightly sweaty even though she just finish her bath. Aisha was sitting in the vanity of Aeron's bedroom patio, one foot is resting on the railings while the other one dangles in the air. A maid under Aeron had given her a nightie to wear, however, the material is too short and thin for Aisha's liking, so she borrowed Aeron's robe.

Aisha had a faraway look on her face as she dries her hair absentmindedly. Her eyes fixated on the direction of the city. The city is far from the Abyss famiglia's manor, making the lights in the city seems like a stars in the sky, but one star stood out the most. It is the El Grande de Casino. The casino is lit up with different kinds of colors, giving everyone the impression that the auction is near, and everyone must look forward to it.

Hmm, an auction, Aisha thought, everyone thinks that it will be just an ordinary auction like before, however, this time will be different.

It will be a war.

Aeron stepped out of the bathroom, a small towel resting around his neck. His blue eyes wondered around the room, finding where Aisha could be, and then his eyes stop at the direction of the glass door leading to his patio. The door was opened and the curtains danced as the air blows them.

Once Aeron stepped into his patio, the first thing he noticed was the way Aisha's lean and flawless legs was peeking at the slit of his robe, before realizing how dangerous her position was. He frowned, and then walks to her direction.

Aisha had already noticed Aeron, and wondered why did he seems upset. But as Aeron's strong and muscled arms encircles her waist, and pulls her off of the railings, her eyes flash in understanding.

"There's no need to be worried," Aisha consoled, both of her hands in Aeron's biceps. "It's only fourth floor, I won't die if I fall." I will just suffer with broken bones, crush organs, a bleedind head, and possibly disabled but not dead.

Of course, Aisha didn't say her last thoughts, in fear that Aeron will get angry. But her words have no effect for Aeron's frowned deepened even more.

Aeron stares right into her calm violet orbs, and then sigh. He removed Aisha's hold in him, and snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Aisha had a subtle smile in her face, both of her hands in Aeron's chest, the side of her head is leaning on the part where his heart is located. She can feel the fast beating of his heart, calming whatever discomfort she has.

She didn't know how he did it, but after he said that it always been her, it fills her heart to the brim, making her happy and contented. And it feels that they are closer than before, and it wasn't just physical contanct, it was more than that, like both of their emotions and souls are one.

Like they are one.

Aeron heard a sigh of satisfaction from Aisha, snuggling closer to the warmth only he can provide, and he have a smile on his face. Leaning down to her head, Aeron could smell the addicting scent of Aisha that she alone have.

"Aisha," Aeron whispered in her hair which Aisha responded with a hum. He couldn't help but to widen his smile, he thinks that Aisha is acting like a lazy cat in his arms, not that he is complaining. "Say, are you really jealous of Adrianna?"

Aeron feels her stiffen in his embrace, and when he thought she would lash on him, he hears her grumbles in a soft tone, barely audible but with his superb hearing, he heard it loud and clear.

"Why would I not be jealous?" Aisha bit her lips, and raised her head to look at Aeron in the eyes. "You always insinuating that you like me, ask me on a date or just to accompany me using underhanded manipulation, and you are so nice to me so I couldn't help but to think that maybe... there's this something that we both have and then when I thought of the possibility that you also did all that to an another woman... I... I..."

Dàmn it! Aisha had always been a straightforward person, she could easily admitted or say what she thought but she can't bring herself to admit to him that she was hurt, or that she love him.

How badly she wanted to say it, but it was as if there's something that's blocking her mouth to utter those words.

But to Aeron, it was more than enough. Seeing Aisha's struggling look, Aeron dipped his head towards her and claim her lips passionately. Aisha closes her eyes and moan, her arms going up and wrapped it around his neck as she kissed him back, just as passionately.

The kiss went on for a good while before Aeron pulls off, his finger lightly grazing her swollen lips. Both of them had a small smile on their faces.

"I understand," he whispers. "You don't need to say it because I understand."

Hi, everyone! I really wanted to express my gratitude to those who condolences me but in our culture it's inappropriate to say "thank you". You get my point though. Hope you all like this chapter and Happy Valentine's (Hearts) Day ♡♡♡
