The New Home (2)

The next day, Sarra and Tarou prepared themselves to go to the market while Aaron decided to stay by his mother's side.

- Are you sure you won't come with us?

- No, I will stay with mom... Aren't you glad, Sarra?

Replied Aaron while smirking.

Sarra smacked him on his head right away:

- Why would I be glad? He is as annoying as you.

She turned around and headed to the door where Tarou was waiting.

- I didn't know that I'm annoying to you.

Sarra became surprised that he heard that, but then she sighed and kept walking:

- I shouldn't be surprised anymore. Just keep going and you better pretend that you didn't hear me.

- Alright...I get that.

- I will use my magic to take us there.

Tarou approached her:

-This time I will give you a ride.

Then he carried her in his strong arms and flew.

- WAIT! I CAN GO ON MY OWN, PUT ME DOWN.

- Shut up and hang on.

Sarra wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. Her heart was beating so fast and her face was blushing. She found herself, out of a sudden, in Tarou's arms without being prepared for such a thing.

" What situation is that? We are very close, I can feel his breath. I must act normal to not expose myself "

- You are not having a heart attack, are you?

- Why are you saying that? Why would I have a heart attack?

- I can hear your heartbeats. It feels like your heart is going to burst. Are you okay?

Her face became redder. She couldn't handle her emotions or her heart.

" Damn it, I can't even hide my heartbeats from him! "

- IT IS BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS, ARE WE THERE YET?

- Yes, we are almost there. Hang on.

Tarou landed in a secluded place so that no one can see them.

As soon as he put Sarra on the ground she wanted to kick him so badly, but he managed to avoid it. He could predict her actions easily:

- Come on, don't be angry! Didn't you have fun?

Sarra ignored him and headed to the market without saying a word.

- pfff...Hey, wait for me!

Meanwhile, Aaron was helping his mother. He tried to do everything on her behalf so she won't be tired.

- Mother, please sit...I will do everything just tell me.

Anna had her doubts:

- Did Sarra tell you something?

Aaron kept silent, he couldn't lie to his mother.

- That naughty girl, I told her not to say a word.

- We have the right to know. You can't keep something important like that to yourself, we are now by your side and you can lean on us. Trying to hide your sickness made us even more depressed.

Anna hugged her son:

- After, finally, seeing you, I don't mind dying anymore.

- Don't say that! I will never let you die.

When Tarou and Sarra arrived at the market, they started shopping.

Sarra showed him some stores:

- So, what do you want to buy exactly?

- Some furniture for the house, new clothes for mother and as much food as we can.

- Do you have enough money?

- Since I didn't have any plan for staying here, I only brought some golden coins for emergencies, I think it's time to spend them. Besides, aren't you a witch?

- I'm a decent witch, don't use me for things like that. Replied Sarra while glaring at him.

- Fine, fine, I got it, you, decent witch. I think this amount is more than enough anyway.

Sarra hesitated for a bit, then she asked him

- You don't hate me anymore?

Tarou smiled, then he patted her head:

- I don't carry and fly with someone I hate. You are quite clumsy, but I like that in you.

Sarra couldn't handle that bright smile:

- Let's keep moving, we don't have much time.

" Did he say he likes me? Or, he said he likes me being clumsy? I'm going crazy. Just stop thinking about it, I'm afraid he will listen to my thoughts to"

Aaron finished arranging the house with his mother.

- Everything is clean, We have to wait for Tarou and Sarra to come back with the new furniture.

- I will prepare some food, you can go outside and enjoy yourself for a bit...

Aaron went outside to have some fresh air.

Suddenly, a woman's scream came out of the forest.

- What is this? Someone is in danger in that forest...
