(One month later)
Valerie stood in front of Emil who was sitting down. She stared down at him so closely, looking for any thing unnatural about him. He couldn't but feel uncomfortable with her staring at him so closely. He feared that she might see through his cover.
"You seem fine" she stood up straight and he couldn't help but let out a breath of relief he seemed to be holding, while she was gazing at him. "You wounds have healed completely with no trace, which is strange. You don't seem to be suffering from anything and from what I have been giving you for the past month, you should have gained your memories back already"
He kept his mouth shut, if she knew that whatever she had been giving him was being thrown away, she would have his head. He stared up at her and he watched as her lips twisted in confusion, she looked so worked up and he hated seeing her that way. For the past month, he had became really close with her, while he distance himself from Brina like a plague, he didn't know why but, he could tell she hated him to the bone. But, unfortunately for her, he didn't care especially when his attention was on a certain someone standing in front of him.
"We could hit him unconscious for few days" Brina suggested from where she was lying on the bed. She really hated him!.
"No such thing will happen!" Valerie snapped and he couldn't help but smile. She looked cute.
For the past month, she had really grown fond of the young man and she was a little bit glad that he had not gain his memories, which meant that she could still keep him around for a few more days or even weeks!.
So far, her mission of finding the cure of the illness spreading around the village was successful but no one knew, it was the only reason they had not gone back to the village. Grandma Ola gave them enough time. She still had time with Emil, the thought of that bought a smile to her face.
He watched her smile and he couldn't help but, wonder if she was entertaining the idea of knocking him unconscious to get his memories back. But, she looked really beautiful when she had that satisfied smile on her face. He smiled and took both her hands in his and she came to back to reality, looking down at their joined hands.
"You don't have to work your self out. I will gain my memories when the time comes" he gave her an assuring smile and she also returned his smile. They stared at each, both lost in each other's eyes. But, they were interrupted when Brina cleared her throat loudly.
"I am hungry and there is nothing to eat" she announced.
" You could go pick fuirt, Brina" Valerie said as she moved away from Emil.
" Whatever" Brina rolled her eyes and walked out of the house.
"What is her problem, she had been quite moody lately" Comment Emil as he massage his temple, he was growing an headache.
" I don't know, she has always been moody" her eyes turned to him to find him rubbing his head. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked him confused and took a step towards him.
"I think I am growing an headache" he lift his head and was shocked to find Valerie blending down really close to his face, he could clearly feel her breath on his face. She was looking at him with so much concern.
Would it be wrong if he pressed his lips to hers?. They both stared at each other, completely lost. His eyes trace her face to her lips and it remained there. Her lips were so full and red without lipsticks and kissable. He slowly lean in, when he saw that she wasn't putting away, he slowly pressed his lips to hers.
Shocked, she was. It was her first kiss. But, was this what a kiss felt like. It was wet and... sweet. She slowly gave in, closing her eyes, melting to his lips. Though, she was inexperienced, she moved her lips against his.
Brina stopped down in her tracks as she came at the door and saw the scene in front. She frowned.
What were they doing kissing like that!.
Mad she was as she frowned deeply. She cleared her throat and they immediately broke apart, it was like they were caught doing a bad thing as they moved away from each other, pretending to do something else.
Awkward it was. But, that was not Brina's problem as she matched out of the house, completely forgetting what she came back for.
Valerie looked away from Emil, she couldn't meet his eyes, not after what they did. Why had he kissed her?. It wasn't like she didn't enjoy...it somehow felt right. But, why?. What did this mean?.
"I am going to go find something to eat" Emil said awkwardly as he stood up, Valerie was facing him with her back. He could tell, she was embarrassed.
"Yeah" she replied without turning to face him. He nodded his head and walked out of the house but, he didn't miss the heavy breath that escaped Valerie's lips.
He couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he climbed down the tree house.
