PART 88

Aurora leaned on Charlie subconsciously. Charlies heart started beating faster seeing that. Aurora was comfortable with him. They were having a normal conversation like couples. He was happy for that. He kept the towel aside.

" Do you use hair dryer princess?"

" No. It damages hair."

" That's why you have such nice healthy hair.

" Are you a girl? I have only got complements from girls for my hair. You are the first boy complementing on my hair. Are you sure you are a boy?" Aurora said to tease Charlie. But that tease backfired her.

" You want proof that I'm a boy?" Charlie husked near her ear coming closer to her. " Just wait and watch princess, I'm going to be your first in a lot of things." He whispered sensually and kissed her ear lobe.

Aurora shivered hearing that. Charlie realized that and smirked. He again came closer and whispered , " Imagining things from now darling?"

" Shut up." Aurora mumbled. She was still flustered. Charlie chuckled realizing that.

" Moreover boys have different tastes for girls. I love long hair. Your long straight hair will catch anyone's attention. This is the second thing I have noticed in you."

Aurora looked at him tilting her head. " What is the first thing?"

"Your eyes." He replied directly looking into her eyes.

" But how did you notice my hair? I have always gone to University with braid or bun."

" At the eagles club when you were getting out after setting that place in fire with guards."

Aurora looked in front and said, " Yeah I have forgot you are good at noticing girls."

" Not every girls. I'm good at noticing you. From the first day when I saw you getting bullied by Robin, I knew you are not someone ordinary. But I didn't think you would be this big and dangerous either."

Both of them laughed at that. They felt silent for sometime. Then again Charlie started talking. " You know we do many things for our loved ones. Right?"

" Yeah." Aurora said leaning on more. She was getting comfortable like that. She felt peace whenever she went to those arms.

" When we see someone dear to us is in danger our heart overpowers us and we do what our heart wants us to do and that is to save our loved ones at any cost. Brain can be selfish sometime but heart can never be selfish princess. Antonia has taken the decision because she loves you. Don't think her as someone that breaks promise to satisfy their needs. She has disobeyed you for you."

Aurora looked back at Charlie. " Since when you have become this much sensible and reasonable?"

" I don't know either. Maybe love changes people? Maybe my love for you has awaken the reasonable person inside me. I have never cared for anyone other than my family and friends princess. I have always been so carefree. But for you I have started caring. My love for you has brought these changes in me I think." Charlie said chuckling. Aurora felt her heart melt hearing those words.

" Heart doesn't take selfish decisions but why does my heart always take wrong decisions Charlie?"

" I have seen you taking decisions from your heart princess. I can surely say those were not wrong."

"What do you mean?"

" Nothing. You should take some rest. Get some sleep now."

" I'm not sleepy."

" But you are looking really tired. Lie down. I'll massage your scalp. It will help you to fall asleep."

" You should go to your parents. They are here for you. Go spend some time with them. You will not be able to see them for a long time after today. The war is knocking at the door."

" I'll go to them after you fall asleep. Now lie down princess."

Charlie made her lied down and sat beside her. He started messaging her scalp.

" Are you going to sleep with that sword? Should I keep it somewhere else?"

" No. I'll do that. Do you know this belongs to my mom. I have inherited it."

" Yeah. Mr. Mariano said you have used it for the first time."

" Yeah. Dad gave me this after I completed my training and won the first war."

" Why did you use it today?"

" I have decided whoever will touch my loved ones their end will happen with this sword."

" Will you use that for me if someone hurts me?"

" Yeah. I have told you my loved ones..." Aurora stopped from completing that sentence and looked at Charlie. Charlie smiled.

" So you have included me in your loved ones? That's a huge achievement for me."

Aurora closed her eyes. She was red already.

" You look more beautiful when you blush princess." Charlie said.

Aurora looked at him and found him staring at her with adoration. She also kept looking.

Charlie leaned down and Aurora closed her eyes. Charlie kissed on her foreheads.

Aurora sighed in pure bliss. Her heart fluttered and she felt butterflies in her stomach. What is this? Why is she feeling like this? This boy is making her weak. Making her belive in love again. Should she trust him? God why is this so confusing!

Charlie looked at her. " Don't overwork yourself princess. I want to see you in good health."

" A lot of works are pending Charlie. I don't know what to do about them."

" Can I help you with anything? You can ask me to do anything. I have to learn these things too right? It will be a good opportunity then."

" You won't feel pressurized?"

" I'll be at ease if I get to spent time with you."

Aurora chuckled.

" If you are still confused about Antonia then put yourself in her position. You will realize everything then. If I was in her position, I would give up my life just to save you even if you ordered me not to. If you were in her position and I were in your position, what would you do?"

Aurora didn't reply. But somewhere in her heart she knew she would gladly take that bullet. She would do anything just to make him safe.
