C368: Absorbed

It should be a romantic setting with a romantic gesture but it looked like a wrestle from a bird's-eye view. Saga sighed as he groam. He was trying to carefully and gently remove Ole's hand from his neck but as everyone knows she had the strength of a bull. If Saga did not underwent a training under Ophir then his neck have snapped by now.

"You can let me go, now." Saga commanded it was firm but gentle.

Ole positioned herself to be aligned eye to eye with Saga. The gesture made Saga flustered as Ole looked straightly in his eyes.

"NO!" It was not a yell nor a reply. It was a gentle whisper that is begging.

Saga averted his face to side to break free from Ole's eyes. It was one of the features that had him fascinated and enchanted.

The black gleams but the deeper he get drown from her lense it tours him to a deep warm of brownness.

Saga felt a wet drop fall at the tip of his nose. He face forward and saw Ole tearing up. Her face are turning sour. Saga just can't help but pull her into a contorting embrace.

"Hey don't do this to me." Saga whispered as Ole started to hiccup as she halt her sobbing. She inhaled her nose liquid since she felt shy having it stains Saga's shirt but with all her might it failed. Ole started to tremble in dismay. She tried to get up as Saga loosened his hand. It was an awkward sight since her mucus turned in to web and string that connected her nose and Saga's shirt.

Ole felt embarrassed as she instantly snapped it with her hand but Saga tried to muffle his laugh but it burst out. Ole hope that the roof would just swallow her. She wiped her nose like a kid and faced Saga with her puff up face.

"Stop laughing! It was embarrassing." Ole whipered as she fidget with her shirt and bow her head. Her her got messy from the wrestle. The wet strands were glued on her face. Saga reached out to brush of those strands.

"Sorry, I was being mean to you. It's just awful for me. I don't want to be in this kind of set up. Cherith is a good friend of mine and so are you. You are both important to me and.. I don't want to force my self in between you." He admitted as he tucked in the strands he gathered behind Ole's ear.

"I.. know that. And I am really serious about this. It's true that Cherith and I have mutual feelings but we both agreed to choose being a family. I am not using you as a rebound... well maybe at first but.. now I.. I really am doing my best. I am certain of you." Ole replied as she pressed on Saga's knee scared that he might suddenly get up.

Saga was tempted to use his gift of sight to examine her words but that will be going overboard.

"Why are you suddenly certain of me? Is it because your father said so?" Saga raised he knew that he already asked that question before but this time he wanted to be sure.

"Yes. And when I learned that I name you wrongly. Sorry about that." Ole answered.

Saga just scoffed. Her answer did not change. Was he lucky that Ophir appeared to tell her that? Saga knew that his next demand is going to be out of the line but he wanted to make sure.

"Oh, then if I demand for a kiss will you give it to me?" Saga smirked as he believed that Ole will surely punch his face. Ole's hand raised up mid air. He knew it he might wake up with a dislocated nose tomorrow. Saga shut his eyes to avoid the beastly impact.

Saga uncurtained his lashes when the hand he was avoiding gently land on his face and Ole leaned in for a kiss. Saga froze, yes her lips are gentle and sweet but he will surely be dead if Ophir ever finds out that he dared his only daughter for a kiss. Saga got immersed in the moment and allowed the sensation to last. Ole parted from their knitted space and whispered as she established another eye contact.

"Is that enough? Will you please take back what you said."

Saga blinked. He just stared at her eyes and asked.

"Which one?"

Ole tilt her head as the ribbon shape stars turned into a background that highlighted her beauty.

"The let's end this..." She trailed.

Saga nodded and recited.

"I am taking it back."

Ain announced the plan he had and the gang were happy not because of the assignment but because of the vacation. Agsus can't believe that no one sided him.

"Seriously, can anybody even one will be fine." Agsus tried one more but everybody was busy preparing for the vacation.

"Sorry Agsus but this a brilliant idea." Fur stated.

"Yeah, we need this. It was thanks to your designs that we end up having this trip.That is well appreciated." Kahieli hummed.

Agsus just gave up and helped out in gathering all the things they needed.

"How was the online registration?" Ain inquired as he sat beside Agsus.

"I got in. I will be number 13." Agsus assured.

Fur volunteered to drive as Urchin sat at his side. Cherith and Nimrod are consuming some chips. Selah, Sycamore and Kahieli are at the end row while Ole and Saga are seating on the opposite side of Agsus and Ain.

Ain were watching the videos he sent towards Kennan and Ophir. His eyes seemed to have been tantalised by the icon. It's not his voice nor his wings, but there is something with this guy that made Ain suspicious.

"Ole, Ophir mentioned that after this trip you will visit him for some thing valuable." Ain suddenly spoke.

Saga instantly got stoned in his seat as he recalled what he has done.
