chapter 31- I Love You, That's Why.

Earth POV:

when I woke up looking at Wu laying next to me in bed I was relieved for some reason.

Why am I so relieved to see Wu?.... Who else could it be?

Like always, his face was beautiful with a clear and fair skin, his thin lips pink and seductive, his nose straight and in the perfect size, his jaw emphasizing his masculinity and his long pointy ears were twitching lightly, probably picking up the sounds of my movements. All of this was framed by his long, hazelnut colored, shiny and silky hair, falling around his face and body perfectly.

Hazelnut color? That's way to normal for him...

We were in an unfamiliar room and for some reason I was wearing Wu's shirt.

What's going on?

A huge headache suddenly hit my head, making me squeeze my eyes in pain as memories from yesterday started flooding in.

That man! He tried to-... He almost-...

The trauma I got yesterday was a huge one, and as the memories came back, so did the realization of what could have happened to me if Wu hadn't came in time. Fear and shock spread through my body, making me shiver and my eyes to sting as they were threatening to tear up. I covered my mouth with my hands, trying to block the sound of sobbing from coming out of it.

"Did you remember yesterday's events? Is that why you are crying?"

Hearing a deep, sexy but soothing voice beside me snapped me back to the present, making me realize Wu had opened his eyes and was now watching me. The green eyes that were usually full of mischief and confidence, were now filled with pain as he lifted one of his hands, gently brushing his long beautiful fingers on my cheek and wiping my tears for me. He showed me a gentle and worried expression as he did so, making something deep inside of me stir. After just this little interaction between us, I couldn't stop the tears anymore, letting go of all of my defenses and showing Wu just how weak I really was.

"I was so scareeeedddd."

Hearing my words and seeing me cry, Wu sat up picking me up into his lap. He wrapped his strong arms around my body, showing he was not willing to let me go anymore. Normally, I would have resisted having such intimacy between us, but right now, all I wanted was the sense of security and the love that this person is always giving me. His strong chest looked comfortable and I buried my head into it, crying my hearts out.

"I thought he was goiiinnnngggg to rape meeeee! I was so scarrreeeedddd!!!!!!"

"I know sweetie, I'm just glad you are ok. I was so scared when he took you, I thought I might never see you again."

I lifted my face up showing him my miserable, pathetic and snotty appearance.

"Don't be stuuuppiiddd!"

"I'm not being stupid. I couldn't even stop you from going with him, and...and he told me he made you forget about me as well...."

He looked at me dejectedly.

I still couldn't talk properly, but I wanted to make my message clear for him to understand. I took a few deep breaths trying to calm myself down and pushed him with my hands a bit so I could look him straight in the eyes.

"Yesterday, he did manage to make me forget about you and even the reason I was having a journey with you, but-"

I took another deep breath trying to calm myself down despite the painful memories that were streaming in my head.

"-but when he wa-...when he was touching-"

My voice wavered when I said those words and Wu's face contorted in anger, probably remembering the scene he saw when he entered the room yesterday.

"-all I could think about was that something wasn't right. He smelled wrong, his touch was wrong, he wasn't the person I wanted to touch me."

Wu's expression switched from anger to pain when hearing about how I felt during this experience. I grabbed the sides of his face with my hands, making sure he was listening to me clearly before I spoke.

"Waking up next to you this morning felt natural so his magic is probably all gone from my body now, but-"

Wu sighed in relief.

"I se-"

"I'm not done talking."

I cut him short, making him blink in surprise at my sudden aggressiveness.

"As I said, yesterday I managed to realize that he wasn't the person I wanted to touch me. But now, looking at you, I realized something much worse. Do you want to know what I realized?"

He nodded his head quietly, seemingly afraid of what words I might say, but instead of speaking, I did something unspeakable. I pulled his face down while pulling my body up, making our lips collide. His eyes opened wide in surprise and his body went stiff in confusion, but I didn't care. His honey like taste in my mouth and the smell of flowers he had, filled my senses, making me drunk. I let his cheeks go and warped my hands around his neck, closing my eyes. This was different then any of our kisses before. It was passionate but comfortable and tender, consuming us like fire, drawing us in with no escape while giving us a fluffy and warm feeling inside.

Suddenly, I felt something wet falling on my cheek, making me open my eyes in wonder. The scene I saw when I opened them was an amazing one....Wu's eyes were full of tears!

His beautiful face that normally looked very manly and confident, now looked weak and fragile, so full of emotions any man will be shaken to his very soul looking at him. I broke our kiss and looked him in his teary eyes.

"Why are you crying? I thought you will be happy."

He didn't answer, instead he bit his lower lip and avoided my gaze.

"Hey silly, look at me...."

Tears kept streaming down his face as he looked away, still refusing to meet my gaze. I shook my head at him in dissatisfaction, but when I was about to reprimand him he opened his mouth to speak.

"Why-"

His deep voice wavered as he spoke. I was confused at his question so I just tilted my head, not answering him.

"Why?"

"-Why did you kiss me just now?"

His voice was small, as if he was afraid to get the answer.

This guy...

I sighed and shook my head in disappointment at his density.

"For a smart guy you sure ask stupid questions..."

He looked at me confused, tilting his head and his pretty face looking very cute all of a sudden.

Well, at least you're pretty....

"*sigh*...I'll only say it once, so listen carefully, ok?"

He nodded his head.

So even Wu can be this cute....

I wiped the tears from his eyes using my thumb, earning myself some extra time in order to gather my courage. I took a deep breath and spoke.

"It's pretty simple....I love you. That's why."
