Part Two - New World - Chapter [047]

I started hyperventilating and quickly got of the bike. 

I took a couple of steps and fumbled. 

"Woah! You okay?!" Arslan finally noticed. 

He came by my side and lowered himself to my level. I was on my knees. 

He placed his hand on my back and started rubbing circles around it. 

I took some breaths and finally calmed down. 

I raised my head to meet his eyes.

"Can you please just tell me when you're gonna do that?!" I said my voice cracking. 

"Do - what?" He looked incredulous.

"Take the sky breaker into the air!" I shouted, a little demonic. 

"Oh? Flying you mean?!" He spoke in that incredibly cultish accent. 

"Uh-huh…" I clapped back. 

"Are you actually afraid of heights or something?!"

"Very much so, yes…" my deadpan nature cackled a laugh out of him. Dread washed over me. 

"I'm sorry - I'm sorry," he placed his hand out trying to apologize. 

"It's okay - I need to work on that anyway," I said almost crying. 

He stopped laughing and took a look at me. I must have looked like a wet cat or something. 

"Honey - baby - my love," he said all of a sudden. 

"Have you never been on an airship?" He continued. 

I blinked. 

"I have my own…" he mumbled like he regretted his words. 

"I shouldn't have said that -" he said out loud. 

I blinked again.

"You have your own airship!?" I was genuinely impressed. 

"Well - yeah - the guild has one - but I'm the one driving it most of the time," he said with a small chuckle. 

"I bet I could totally fly on an airship, flying off the ground like that just gave me a little vertigo that's all," 

"Oh you're so cute = " he said babying me. 

I couldn't help but dry chuckle. He followed suite. 

"I promise I'll give you a heads up before I do that again," he said caressing my face with his hand. His hands were clammy, his skin was hot. 

He lingered and I pushed against it with my face, closing my eyes. 

We lingered. 

I took his hand from my face, and massages his calluses. 

He just stared a me a moment. 

I looked at him for a moment and noticed he looked confused. Was this normal for husbands/inamorato's.

"You're hands are cold," he mentioned.
