I've always admired you because you were smart keva". He touched her lips. " They are soft" he murdered in a hoarse voice that made her feel insane.
" Do you want to taste it?" She asked him with a sly grin. " If your answer is yes, mine is yes too". He quickly made a bargain.
" And what is that?". She asked without hesitation. " He brought his nose closer to hers, in a whisper he asked. " Would you say, the duplicates lived at the edge, or the top?". His hands graze her neck and she gulped hard. " At the bottom or…?"
She chuckled " No Alvah ".
" Your answer is no" he pulled back slightly to look at her but she didn't let him off this time. She was fast enough to hold him as she caressed his hair. Alvah closed his eyes hard. Moving her hands through it loosening his horse tail. As his hair laid loose onto his face his eyes opened and they were red.
" Has anyone told you, you looked magnificent" she couldn't help but admire him. His body, his energy. The feeling he gave her, she did not want this night to end.
" What is your answer then?" His voice deepened impatiently and she could hear it. " On a map, not on the edge, nor the top nor the bottom". She spoke ever Soo slowly. She lifted her hands to touch his exotic hair. " But a circle" she drew a circle on his cheek bone. " Mid point " she touched his lips. She could no longer resist herself from devouring his lips.
Alvah glared daggers at her and before she could close in on him they heard a soft voice cracked.
Keva was angered by the sudden interruption. She was dying to get him who dared to end their moment abruptly. She was jaw dropped when she saw Zillah and Daivik looking at them.
Zillah's face was lost. She didn't know what to believe, what she was seeing or what her betraying partner had promised her.
" Zillah". Alvah called her but she quickly ran away. Keva got up from the bench. For the first time Daivik saw guilt in her eyes but that didn't matter she was caught. They were both caught in the act.
Before Zillah could take five steps Alvah had appeared to her. He was as fast as a cheetah. With his Elysian speed combined. He could teleport together with anyone but would appear before them.
" Zillah ".
" Alvah " she dragged his name in tears, snort filled all over her face. Apparently, Alvah had suspected earlier upstairs that someone was watching them.
Turns out it was Daivik all the while. He was keeping a strict eye on keva and ended up seeing the both of them together. Following them again this night to find them almost kissing.
He and Zillah were shattered. He knew keva wouldn't even speak a word to him so he left in shackles.
He didn't get to the room when he crashed out in the hallway. He clearly heard her words. " She had fallen out of love for him". She no longer found him loving and attractive in her eyes. He felt Soo stupid to love keva since from the beginning. He felt betrayed.
He never thought her feelings for Alvah were ever true because she had told him she never liked Alvah. What happened now. She had even stabbed him earlier just to get rid of him that fast.
Thinking about all this made him scatter in shambles. He yelled out in pain, anger and sadness.
Zillah on the other side had crashed out she was losing consciousness. " Zillah , Zillah " Alvah called her name but she wasn't responding. He checked her pulse, it was faint.
" Zillah what are you doing giving up on me ?" He asked speaking to her but she wasn't hearing him. He sat on the ground cuddling with her so tightly. " Zillah please respond to me" his voice cracked almost in tears. " Zillah please".
" You lied to me Alvah " a faint voice sounded in his ears and he dashed to look at her. " Zillah… Zillah I never lied to you. You have to stay awake, you need to hear what I have to say" he lowered his voice.
" Keva, Alvah you kissed …" her voice cracked and her tears poured down from her eyes. " Don't touch me, don't talk to me".
Gasps escaped Daiviks mouth with breathless sounds. Was he giving up too.
Her eyes squinted attempting to wake up " You're awake " Cristal was woken up with the voice of Aeron and his eyes staring at her while she slept.
" You need to eat something. You must be tired". He picked the bowl of porridge on the table. " I am not hungry". She didn't have enough energy to speak.
" Don't stress yourself too much Cristal just eat something for your health sake". He grabbed the spoon dipping it in the food and brought it closer to her mouth.
" It's a bit cold. You took longer time to wake up". She paused looking at the meal. She opened her mouth, eating the food off the spoon slowly.
He got up from the chair, flapped his finger indicating for her to scoot in so he could sit on the bed too and be closer to feed her to avoid stains.
She did just that and he fed her concurrently.
" Zillah trust me". He begged but she didn't listen. " Don't say words like this to me Alvah, do you really mean them, do you?".
Alvah had no choice but to teleport with her to the bedroom. He held her tight in the hug that she can't teleport and he stroked her back calmly while she continued to sob lightly.
