Esong walked closer to the flowing river and she followed him. She tried to get around him, hoping that he would look into her eyes and see her as she was now and not the woman that used to be there.
As she tried to get around him, she slipped on a small trail of mud. Her left foot went out first, pulling the rest of her body with it and gravity did the rest because she almost fell down. She would have fallen into the water if he did not grab her by the back of her shirt and lift her up. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
While he did save her, Scarlet was not a fun of the way he was lifting her up. It was similar to a small kitten being carried in the mouth of it's mother. Adler too had carried her this way once. Why did they keep lifting her up in the air with one arm as if she weighed nothing?
"Be careful." Esong told her.
"Hehe," she laughed, "Can you put me down now?" she asked him.
She closed her eyes in anticipation of being tossed onto the ground like garbage. However, she felt herself gently being placed down and she opened her eyes. She looked up at him with surprise in her eyes.
"You did not drop me this time." she said.
"I did not intend to do so the first time either." he answered.
His eyes were no longer on her, they were on the clear flowing water. It was so transparent that the little pebbles beneath were visible.
She looked down into the water and wondered if this river had any fish or water creatures. To satisfy her curiosity she squatted down and run her hands through it, suddenly slapping the water in the hopes of attracting the attention of anything.
She had been squatting but when he sat, she found herself copying his action and she sat down too.
"I...." she said and paused, "I am not quite sure." she finished her sentence with a vulnerable look of worry, fear and helplessness on her face. "All I know is that I do not want my life to implode because of whatever we decide to do." she looked at him and she said, "Our lives, we are in this together after all."
"And what if I don't want to compromise?" he asked her.
She lay down on the ground and looked up at the sky. It was so glaring and it caused her to switch to her grim reaper vision. Things were brighter but she could control the light when she was using it.
When Esong looked down at her, he saw that same gold rim around the pupils of her eyes. He found himself raising his hand just like before, and he almost touched her face before pulling his hand back and clenching it into a fist.
"Your eyes glow with shades of gold sometimes." he said to her.
She turned her head to the side to the look at him. Was that a compliment? she wondered.
"Thank you." she replied with a shy smile.
"Why do they do that? I have never seen anything like that before." he asked her.
Blue eyes, green eyes, black, grey, red, he had seen eyes of so many shades but never gold. And it wasn't complete gold, it was a partial gold.
"I don't know, nature." she answered. "I could be the beloved daughter of the Gods, sent to this world to stop it from self destructing." It was a mixture of truth and lies but he would never know.
"Whatever you are, I still intend to have you more than once." he leaned over and his face hovered hers as he said this suddenly. "I will compromise on whatever you want, but that one intention stays true. Come to my room tonight and we will discuss those compromises you want."
