Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 54: A Kiss!?

After I left the side hall I went directly to my room. I was very tired. Emily helped me prepare a bath which I was very grateful for. I stripped my clothes off and slipped into the tub all the way up to my neck. The hot water made all the stress of the day wash away. It was very relaxing. I was glad I got to deal out a bit of punishment to that Princess Bitch. After ruining my meal and almost causing Sid and Claire to get hurt it was really a bad time. Ruth, probably already contacted the castle and had someone pick her up. Hopefully, she will stay away from Forelonia for a while. To be honest, dealing with royalty is not something I wish to do. You never know when you will be dragged in front of the king only to hear: "Off with her head!" This was truly something I never wished to hear in my entire life.

After soaking in the tub until my fingers pruned, I had Emily help wash my hair before getting out and drying off. I slipped on a long white shirt that was a bit too large so the collar fell down on one side over my shoulder and the bottom only reached to the middle of my thighs. If I recall correctly, Ruth bought this for me and told me to wear it to entice her son. Although I would never use it for that I did find it rather comfortable. 

I let my hair down as I walked back into my room, only to hear a knock from the door leading to Able's room. "Come in." 

Even though Emily was here, I still felt shy without Alissa being here. Able had been much more hands on as of late. Not that I minded. He was still very gentlemanly. He would hold my hand and just last night gave me a hug and a kiss on my cheek before going to bed. I might be dirty minded but sometimes I wonder what a real kiss was like. It shouldn't be too strange to want to kiss your fiance right? Just these thoughts alone were making me blush.

"Rei, are you okay? Your face is red." Able walked up to me and put his hand to my forehead.

His action made me blush even more, I could only lower my head and shake it. as I answered: "I just got out of the bath." 

Brushing his hand away I sat down on the couch and went to dry my hair. But Able stopped me and took the towel from my hand. "Just sit still, I will dry your hair for you." 

This was a first for me. Not the fact of someone else drying my hair for me but having a boy my age do it for me was somewhat embarrassing. I have to say Able's hands were very gentle. He took the utmost care not to pull my hair. I do admit it does feel good. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes as I enjoyed the moment. 

"Rei, can I ask if you have accepted me yet?" Able's voice floated into my ears.

"That should be obvious right? At first, I was a bit uncertain. I was not sure if you were wanting to marry me because you saw me naked or not. But this past week that I have spent time with you, you have treated me very well like family. If I said my heart wasn't moved then I'd be struck by lightning for lying.

" Able I am not sure if I love you since I have no clue what it feels like to love someone in that way. But I will say that I do like you and I want us to work out if possible. But this same question can be said about you as well. Do you like me, love me, or just find me interesting? I fear that one day you will eventually fall in love with someone else and I was just a passing moment for you." I worried that one day he would fall in love with Alissa. I hoped this would never happen and I know I have said I would fight to stay by his side but this wasn't just up to me. Able's feelings came into play as well.

I heard Able sigh before I felt something soft touch my lips. I opened my eyes wide to see that Able had leaned over and actually kissed me! It lasted no more than a few seconds but he actually kissed me on the lips! My cheeks instantly went red all the way to my ears. "Rei, have faith in me. I will never leave you behind no matter what. The girl I wish to marry is only you and can only be you. This kiss just now is my promise to you that I will always be yours. When we graduate from the Magic Academy I will ask you to marry me once more. I hope by then you will say yes from the bottom of your heart."

If I said my heart wasn't beating fast at this moment in time then I would be lying. His words really made my heart flutter. I lowered my head to try to hide my embarrassment. I nodded my head as I spoke softly: "Then I will be waiting for that day."

After saying good night to Able, I went straight to bed and laid there staring at the ceiling. I brought my fingers to my lips and blushed just thinking about how Able kissed me. My first kiss! In my two lifetimes, I finally had my first kiss. I know this will be a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life.
