27. Begin

And after that came the part "I'm still too young for marriage, although if you're willing you could wait a couple of years for me and maybe something could happen between us." Those words left him momentarily stunned. Was that perhaps some type of proposition? Or was it just a joke?

Calixto thought: "This girl actually mentioned that she was too young for marriage but at that age most of the ladies were already married and some even had children, this is not an expression."

Calixto felt lost about that and without knowing how to react, with a complicated face he thought

—Then I'll wait for you. Even though Emma didn't hear it, she understood the message.

. After thinking for a while he panicked; What was the first option first, the first option was stolen from him and he kept the second.

He continued to think that Emma was just playing with him, his low self-esteem was making him erratic since he, like anyone he knew about his history; He will believe that now he only had loneliness for life, he laughed at himself for even thinking about something like that, it was obvious that in his condition, loving relationships were practically impossible.

Especially with this girl Emma, ​​she was so beautiful that he would surely have many suitors running towards her like bees to flowers for some reason he felt disgusted when thinking about that scene.

He felt a strange sensation in his chest and under her gaze, her eyes dimmed, losing the little shine they had left.

Maybe and just maybe it was love? He didn't know he had always been alone.

He focused on Emma's soft touch that was like a kind of comfort to him, and he forgot everything, that was precisely why he hadn't moved; to not do anything that would end the pleasant moment, in his eyes only she and him existed.

Calixto thought that this would probably be the only time they could be together like this; that they would be so close to her so he wanted to appreciate it for those moments well.

While Calixto thought too deeply; Emma was relaxed, staring at him, feeling that it was fun and refreshing because he was so cute, Emma felt that Calixto would be her husband or wife, not even she felt good at the moment, the breeze blew and she felt a little cold but she continued in his place without moving.

Emma saw how Calixto's face changed continuously, his countenance changed a few times, Emma did not know how much Calixto was thinking and she could only watch him carefully, trying to guess what he was thinking in his mind, she gave up after a moment that It seemed like an eternity.

When she saw him looking down with an expression somewhat similar to desolation, she couldn't help but put her palm on Calixto's red hair, caressing it gently, although she didn't know him well and was barely a stranger and it was her second meeting with him. Emma didn't want him to feel alone.

The closeness with him was nice and he didn't seem to mind, but she still made sure not to do things that could be considered improper or inappropriate that could then get her and her family in trouble.

It was fun to make fun of him, but she still didn't forget that he was the villain and shouldn't cross the line no matter how much she wanted to play make fun of him, she sighed internally. "If only you weren't the villain" he thought between sighs with sadness in his eyes "If you weren't the villain, we could be truly happy, ahh more importantly even if we weren't in this fucking novel where everything seems to revolve around Aela everything would be perfect Even if you were a villain, just thinking about the future gives me a headache.

Emma continued with those thoughts; She didn't realize that her desire to help Calixto also cursed her and Calixto at the same time.

Giving birth to a blessing based on the curse;

Calixto couldn't be with anyone other than Emma and Emma couldn't be with someone if she wasn't with Calixto.

But she didn't notice anything. Not because she can't but because he is worth it; she does not care! She is happy with Calixto.

Ahh why does she have to be like that? Because while some suffer others have the opportunity to have it all without suffering even a little? "Emma was lost in her thoughts, her expression was worried but at the same time there was a cold shine in her eyes.

When he returned his attention to reality, he looked at Calixto who was still kneeling on the ground with his eyes gently closed. He realized that they were both still in the same position, everything was silent and they only saw each other when they heard the slight noise of the animals. close and the slow breathing of both of them.

It was a strange form of perfection full of imperfections and that was perfect and would remain perfect

In a rare moment Emma leaned in unexpectedly and hugged him tightly.

"I never want to let you go, even if everything revolves around Aela I don't care"

And she continued babbling incoherently without rest because she didn't realize that she was the true protagonist and that everything has a cycle.

Calixto's curse was strange and different for each person.

Calixto opened his eyes and responded dryly: "no matter what, I want you to be with me" which Emma heard well and told him.

"If you want to be with me, just make the promise," Emma said, thinking and looking at her beautiful red eyes.
