Just This Once

VALENTINA

Kyros had lied to me. 

The place was far and I had a feeling we would not be back before Rowan would wake up. 

He had brought me to the festival. 

There were people dancing left and right, their faces painted and their smiles, wide 

Our faces were painted too, the ones we applied before our easy heist still there, we had changed our costumes though. 

I was wearing a colorful mid-thigh skirt, as many women were wearing, and a crop top of the same material. 

Kyros was wearing the same material as a short sleeve shirt, it was slightly loose. He had his normal pants on. 

I took in a deep breath, looking around us at the busy crowd. 

We wouldn't be able to return before Rowan wakes up.

That would make him so angry. That would put me in trouble. 

I really wasn't in the mood to piss him off but Kyros didn't seem to mind.
