My darling

"I have something for you" said Liam as he smiled.

"Hmm, what is it?" asked Wura as she was reluctant to let go of him, she just wanted to stay here, holding him like this forever.

"You will see" said Liam as he smiled and he looked at her as he waited for her to let go, but she did not make any attempt to do so at all.

"I cannot show you what I have for you if you do not let go of me" said Liam as he laughed.

"But I do not want to let go of you" said Wura as she frowned and Liam laughed.

"But I am not going anywhere silly" said Liam as he laughed and he kissed her nose as she frowned, she did not want him to leave her, no, not again.

"I do not want you to leave" said Wura as she frowned even more, and Liam laughed, he found her behaviour this way very cute.

"I am not going to leave you forever, I am never going to leave you darling, never" said Liam as he smiled and he gave her some more kisses as she sighed and she reluctantly let go of him as he laughed at her and he walked to his horse.

She was to reluctant to let go of him, because the last time that she did, the last time that she listened to him, that he told her to go, she regretted it with all her heart and with all her might, not knowing where he was, how he was doing, if he was alive or not was the scariest feeling that she had ever felt, and she knew that right now, she could not bear to let that repeat itself again.

Liam walked to his horse as he brought out something that he had been hiding wrapped in a brown cloth as he walked back to Wura.

"Here it is" said Liam as he smiled.

"What is it?" asked Wura in confusion as Liam handed it to her.

"Well feel it" said Liam with a smile as Wura felt the object and it felt hard, and sharp and she removed the cloth from it as she gasped.

"A sword?" asked Wura as she looked at the bright, shiny, new sword.

"Yes, a sword, you remember that you lost your old sword when the giants captured you, so I decided to buy you a new one" said Liam as he smiled.

"So that was what you were hiding on that day that you went to buy something in the market?" asked Wura as she looked at him in surprise.

"Yes my darling, I went to buy a sword for you, since I know that you wanted one so much" said Liam as he smiled.

"Oh Liam thank you, thank you, thank you so much" said Wura as she could not believe this, Liam was the best, she loved him so much.

"You do not need to thank me" said Liam as he smiled and Wura hugged him.

"Thank you, I love you my love" said Wura as she gave him another kiss, she felt like she could drown herself in their kisses for the entire day.

"I love you too" said Liam as he smiled and they both kissed each other as Wura let go of him, she knew that they had to continue on before night fall.

"My love, we should go now, if we continue on like this, we will not make it anywhere" said Wura as she laughed, honestly, she wanted to make up for all the lost time and kisses, but she could not do that right now, if she did, they would end up taking more time to reach the first city.

"I agree with you, but I am in no rush to go anywhere when I am with you" said Liam as he smiled and Wura smiled at him.

"And neither am I darling, but for the sake of the time we have already spent, we should get going now" said Wura as she laughed and she moved back, she knew that the closer she was to Liam, the more she would want to hold him close again, and honestly she wanted to, but she needed to be stern and serious with herself, or else they would make no progress.

"Are you running away from me love?" asked Liam as he laughed.

"Not necessarily my love, I just want to exert some self control, because heavens know the closer I am to you, the less I would want to let go, so for the sake of my sanity Liam, let us go away from this place" said Wura as Liam laughed.

"You are right my love, we should go" said Liam as he laughed and Wura nodded her head as she got on her horse and Liam did the same.

"Thank you my love" said Wura as she smiled and Liam smiled at her.

…

"Oh no, I forgot" said Malcom as he sighed and he shook his head.

"What is it Malcom?" asked Mero as he looked at Malcom as there were many people moving around them.

"The people here are moving to another city, which means that we will not be allowed to move any further, those are the rules" said Malcom.

"I see, then we will just have to stay here for the meanwhile then" said Mero.

"That is true, I wonder if the others will meet us here, it is highly likely since this is one town that I am sure we will all have to pass through to get to the first city" said Malcom.

"Well then, in that case, let us just hope that we will meet them here" said Mero.

"Oh and also that Lily and Liam will be together already by the time that they return" said Malcom as Mero just looked at him and he shook his head as Malcom smiled.

"You know Mero, I am starting to understand you, you are not as cold as you seem to be" said Malcom as he smiled.

"And as for you, you continue to be as annoying as annoying can be, I regret not asking Dothan to come with me" said Mero as Malcom just laughed.

"Oh you know that you enjoy my presence" said Malcom as he laughed and Mero just shook his head.

…

Wura could not help but smile as she rode her horse, she had passed through nothing but pure bliss these past few days being alone with Liam, she never wanted them to end, no, not at all.

"Liam is the best, how could I not love him when he is just so sweet, so considerate, so himself" said Wura to herself as she sighed and she kept on thinking, her mind kept on moving back to their many kisses, it made her feel weird just thinking about them.

She never knew that loving someone like this could be so sweet, she always knew that love was a wonderful thing, she had seen that first hand with her parents, and her aunt Tessa and Uncle Richard, but now experiencing it for herself, she now knew just how much you would not do without your lover.

"Oh Wura, stop thinking about things like that you are being too much…" said Wura to herself as she sighed, she felt like she was thinking too much, and she did not want to end up ruining this special moment that they had between them.

"My love, it is going to get dark soon, we will have to stop" said Liam as he called out to Wura and she looked at him.

"And I wonder whose fault that is" she said as she laughed.

"Well it is partially both our faults, but I am alright with it" said Liam as he laughed and Wura laughed at him.

"Do you want to have your own room or stay with me?" asked Liam as he smiled.

"You already know the answer to that Liam" replied Wura.

"I know, but I want to hear you say it, that you want to stay with me" said Liam as Wura stopped her horse as she turned to look at him.

"There is no other place that I would rather be, than right here with you, so yes, I want to stay with you, always and forever Liam, you do not need to doubt that" said Wura as she smiled and Liam smiled at her reply.

"I do not doubt you darling, not at all" said Liam as he smiled and Wura smiled at him.

"You are so childish" said Wura as she laughed.

"And you love me despite my childishness" said Liam as Wura rolled her eyes as him and her horse started to move, she was giving him too much attention, he was getting too confident, she needed to bring down his confidence a bit.

"No kiss for me?" asked Liam.

"To much of a good thing is bad" said Wura as she replied and Liam laughed at her, of course it was.
