On the road 2

After a full day and night of snuggle it was finally time for us to head out.

"Heavy~"

When I go to see what's on top of me I find Sharla clinging to me. I roll my eyes before the struggle for my freedom begins.

Once free from her vice like grip I poke her lightly in the cheek and say," Sharla~, it's time to get up."

In return I got a smack to the face and," Just a lil bit-!??" Before she can finish her sentence I plant a kiss on her right cheek. Soon after her face turns beet red. "uuuuu How Can one person be so cute"

"Humph, I don't know what your talking about" she protested.

"Oh I'm sure you do" I say before leaning in to give her another kiss.

"H-hello, is a-anybody there?" I freeze I place before slowly getting up. As I creep out of the tent I take out my dagger. When I look around I spot an older looking man about five meters away.

"Is there something you need?"

"A-ah, yes I w-was wondering i-if you could give me us a hand?"

"Us?"

"Y-yeah, there's me, my wife a-and two grand kids. Our wagon got stuck in the mud. I-I'm sorry if I bothered you" he says in an apologetic tone.

"Ugh, hey Sharla what do you think" I ask.

"I don't mind" she says as she exits the tent.

"Ugh fine~, but if you lead us into a trap I'll cut off you wank, roast it, and feed it to you" I say menacingly.

When he hears this he pales and Sharla says, "Now now, there is no need to bully him. I'm sorry mister?"

"A-Aron" he stutters.

"Yes, Mr. Aron nice to meet you I'm Sharla and this is Shessefe. I'm sorry for her behavior she has some trust issues."

"Hmm~? So you do have a mature side" I say teasingly.

"Don't I always act mature~."

"S-so are you s-sisters" asks the man.

I quickly pull Sharla by the waist and bring our lips together for a short kiss, "Do we seem like sisters to you~."

Both the man and Sharla blush profusely. "Oh, honey your just so much fun to tease" I say while gently poking her now puffed out cheeks.

...

A few minutes later we finally arrived at a covered wagon with a wheel stuck deep in mud. Next to it stood an older looking woman and two young children that looked to be 4-5 years old. "So what your story" I ask.

"Hm?"

"I mean why're you out here."

"O-oh, their parents left a while ago to set up a business in Crass. We have been looking after them while their parents get set up. It's been about a year since then and we're finally going to meet up with them" the man says.

"Hmm~." I hum in response and walk over to the back of the wagon. "Here, let me help with that."

"Hey Shar, can you get on the horses."

"Sure."

"Ok on the count of three, 1...2...3..., PUSH!"

In just seconds the cart is out of the mud and is a good couple of feet away. "Your pretty strong for someone so young, little miss"

"You to old man" I say in return.

"Glad I haven't lost my edge" he says proudly. "So why are two young ladies like you traveling alone?"

"Listen here I may be young but I can take care myself" I say a little annoyed. Calming down a little I continue, "Would you believe me if I said we were running from the law?"

"Hm~, then I just might believe you~" he said cheekily. "Why might that be" I ask honestly wanting to know the reason.

"Well, I heard a rumor before we left saying there was a murder and the culprits were two girls that left just yesterday."

"Quite the strange old man aren't you" I say. To my right I spot the woman garb the two children and step back a few paces.

"Who are you calling strange" the man says in an indignant tone.

"Why you of course. You're casually talking to someone who quite possibly has killed a person before" I state in a matter o fact tone.

"Well I do admit that might be strange for a normal person but back in my adventurin days I've had to protect myself from some overly jealous and greedy party members before. Also I'm quite confident in taking down a brat or two." Everyone around us has their breath held as me and the old mans staring contest continued.

As a little extra I use my 'bloodlust' skill.

When I do this the man seems a bit surprised but quickly recovers and uses some of his own.

"Pfft, you're pretty good old man." Out of the corner my eye I see everyone let out a sigh in relief.

"HAHAHA, you're quite good yourself little lass."

"Well it's been good but I think it's time we leave."

"Oh, will we ever meet again" he asks sounding a bit disappointed.

"If fate determines it. Not that I actually believe in fate" I say.

"Well aren't you the quite the interesting little lass."

"You say little one more time I will not hesitate to do what I said earlier or do you need me to remind you." At that point I had been keeping it in but when I heard the word 'little' it irritated me to no end.

Clearly seeing me starting to get mad Sharla made the executive decision to my arm and drag me away.

"Byyyye, I hope you have a safe trip. Watch out for mud" she said as she pulled me away.

Note: hey guys sorry I didn't post last week. The remaining chapters for this week and last will be posted over the next three days.
