After washing up and getting her clothes out of the wash, Fate got dressed and left the baths with Ella. But as soon as she walked out of the girls' bath, she paused and frowned at the handsome young man leaning up against the wall just outside. His arms were crossed across his chest, and one of his legs was bent so he could rest his foot against the wall. Fate saw this, snorted, and said: "What are you a pervert? Hoping to see some skin when the door opens?"
"Just your skin will be enough for me." Aiden said teasingly. Fate blushed as she pulled her fist back and went to punch him, only for him to quickly dodge. "Okay, I'm sorry, let's go to the dean's office."
Fate snorted again and walked forward, ignoring Aiden. She tried to hide her embarrassment, but the tips of her pointy ears were bright red, showing everyone just how embarrassed she was. Images of her attacking Aiden earlier flashed through her head. At that time, she really could not control her urge to kiss the man after sucking his blood. They had kissed twice, not including the first time. The first time was an accident. But the second and third were done out of passion. What she realized about both kisses was that she liked kissing this man. Fate cheeks started to heat up, causing her to shake her head and slap her cheeks as she tried to calm herself down.
They made their way to the dean's office. "You're here, good." Dean Li smiled seeing Fate walk in with Aiden and Ella.
"I am here to get registered at the elite house." Fate explained, not waiting for Dean Li to ask what she wanted.
"Then come with me to the back room so I can register the two of you. Ella stays here." Dean Lie replied with a smile as he stood up.
Fate was confused. "Two of us?" Fate asked, tilting her head to the side in confusion.
"Mmm, you will have the fifth floor of the building, and Aiden Moore will be living with you as your personal bodyguard." Dean Li replied, causing Fate to freeze.
"Wait? Why is he living with me? Wouldn't it be better to just have Jean do it?" Fate asked, feeling somewhat panicked. Her face blushed, just thinking about being alone with Aiden. 'What if...'
Dean Li saw the blush on her face and nodded his head in approval. He felt the two of them made a good match. "No, it has to be him. He may be young, but there are not many in the army that can outmatch his skills. Except for a certain little girl who has insane stats." Dean Li chuckled.
Fate pouted and looked at Aiden with a look that said: 'Say something.'
Aiden smiled and nodded his head at her and said: "Dean Li, do not worry, I will make sure no one messes with her!" All the while giving a military salute.
Fate's cheeks puffed out. She really wanted to kick this man! Sighing in defeat, Fate gave up. In truth, she did not mind living with him. But she was nervous about being with him alone. "Fine, let's just get this over with."
Dean Li opened a secret panel on the wall that revealed a portal. Ella was forced to stay in the office, and only Dean Li, Fate, and Aiden entered the portal. When they arrived, Fate found herself in a small dark room lit up with blue lights. On the sidewall was a large machine with a plate on the front of it. "Place your hand on the plate. It will send a signal to your brain and install an automatic reflex in your brain that will allow you to access the elite house."
Fate did as she was told and placed her hand on the plate. She felt a sudden shock run up her arm and then back down it. It did this multiple times before a green light flashed. "Good, done. Now you, Aiden."
Aiden nodded and did the same thing as Fate did. Dean Li then handed over a crystal disk. "The keys to your floor. I will not see you out. The information should be sent over to the elite house in a few minutes. So by the time you get there, you will be all set to enter."
Fate and Aiden said their goodbyes before going back upstairs and meeting back up with Ella. They then headed to the elite house. On the way, Fate kept taking glances at Aiden as the two walked side by side. This continued until they reached the elite house. "Master, may I head home? I want to go back to my apartment to make sure nothing is happening with Kacey and Jessica."
Fate thought for a moment and thought this was a good idea. She was also worried about her mother and Jessica. She had no idea if anyone from Ella's family had decided to show up or not. "Okay, come back here if you have any issues. Whatever you three do, do not expose yourselves."
"We will be careful, Master." Ella said before running off, leaving only Fate and Aiden.
Fate did not speak a word as the two entered the building and went to the fifth floor. The whole floor was the same layout as Shae's floor. Once they were alone, Fate wanted to ask Aiden a question, but when she went to turn to face him, she felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace and a melodic voice entered her ear. "It is just the two of us now."
Her ear was tickled, causing her to turn her head. But when she did, Aiden took that chance to steal her lips. Fate's eyes went wide, and her mind went blank. She felt Aiden's tongue invade her mouth, and before she even realized it, she was already kissing him back. She spun her body around and wrapped her arms around his neck, allowing her true feelings to escape as they deepened their kiss. This kiss lasted until Fate was almost out of breath before they finally separated. Fate bit her lower lip and looked at Aiden with flushed cheeks before stepping forward and hugging Aiden. She didn't say a word. She was trying to calm her racing heart. Aiden wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on the top of her head. "Your not going to run away this time?"
"No..." Fate replied softly.
"Then can I kiss you again?" Aiden asked. He figured she would outright say no and hit him but to his surprise Fate nodded her head and looked up at him. "Mmm."
Aiden smiled and lowered his head and the two once again had their tongues intertwined.
