Chapter 26 - Scarlett's insecurities

" What are you doing Scarlett ? get down . " Shu said to Scarlett not understanding why she'd do this , when she clearly doesn't like him to touch her .

Scarlett didn't answer but tighten her hug over him . Noticing that she was not in the mood to talk Shu sighed and didn't stop her , he know that she's very stubborn and if she don't want to talk then she wouldn't say anything .

Scarlett just embraced him for a few minutes and didn't say anything but after sometime Shu could feel wet around his forehead , looking up he saw Scarlett crying without any sound . Seeing her cry Shu panicked , he thought Scarlett was a strong woman she won't cry if something really terrible didn't happened and even if something bad really happened she won't cry infront of him .Then did something bad happened to him or did he do something bad ? Shu was confused he couldn't find anything bad that happened recently , his training was going smoothly even his proposal to Mia was accepted by her nothing bad happened instead everything was very good .

" Scarlett what happened , why are crying ? " since he couldn't find a answer on his own Shu decided ask her , so he tried to ask gently as not to sound insensitive .

Hearing Shu calling her so gently Scarlett calmed down a bit .

" Now stop crying and tell me is something wrong ? " Shu asked again .

Scarlett looked at his red eyes for sometime then finally said in a cracking voice " I'm sorry please forgive me and don't push away . " after saying that Scarlett hugged him tightly again .

Shu was stunned at first but then realised what's going on , Scarlett was saying sorry to him but why .

" What happened why would I forgive you for ? " he couldn't help but ask .

" I..I lied to to you , because of me you were in a lot of pressure everyday you had to always worry about your life and saty alert for your enemies that don't even exist , I wronged you ...I..I I'm sorry.... " saying till now Scarlett's words got stuck in her throat and refused to come out .

"Scarlett didn't we already got over it , I already accepted your apology then why are you still saying something like this ? " Shu asked he already forgive her for that and he understood that Scarlett was anxious to get her body .

" I already know that your getting anxious for a new body so I'll work hard you don't have to cry for that . "

When Scarlett heard Shu was thinking she was crying for a new body her mood became even more upset . And she started to cry again .

" Hey what happened , why are crying again ? " Shu wa now getting anxious aswell .

" I don't want a new body , I don't want anything , i just want you to forgive me .... I know although you're saying you accepted my apology you don't like me anymore , you're getting colder and colder towards me everyday you don't talk to me don't ask for my opinion it's like I'm just a parasite living inside your body and it's none of your concern .

Shu I like you ....l.....I love you , I was their with you when you where all alone ... I...I don't want to lose you , I'm... I'm... jealous I'm.... extremely jealous of Mia she meet you later then why do you love her so much you treat her so warmly and you treat me so coldly it's not fair I'm not willing to accept this , I want you to love me too .... " Scarlett finally vented all her frustration , all her grievance she poured her heat out and said everything she wanted to say .

Shu was astonished by this sudden confession from Scarlett , he knew he was ignoring her and in all honesty he's trust towards Scarlett hit rock bottom after that day although he forgave her for what she did that doesn't mean he forgot the event altogether . So Shu decided to only talk to her when necessary and ignore her for the meantime , and he noticed that from doing this Scarlett was quite upset but he didn't care he thought it was her momentary regret so she was feeling down and would return to the same after sometime . But he didn't expect that not only will that not happen but it will awaken romantic feeling in Scarlett instead and she'd be this devastated by his behaviour and feel jealous about Mia .

Shu now felt guilty instead not only Scarlett was sad and crying but she was even felling insecure of others trying to take him from her .

" I'm sorry Scarlett for ignoring you and stop saying sorry I already forgive you didn't I said . My mood was just not good when I realised you lied to me just like you said we've always been together so if I can't even trust you then who could I trust then ?

But I never realised you were in so much pain because of this .. I'm sorry ... " After saying that Shu touched Scarlett's face with his hand and cleaned the tears , Scarlett didn't rejected his touch this time but hold his hand with her's .

" No...you ... don't have to apologise ... I know I deserve this..but will you give another chance I'd never to something like this again I..I promise okay .." Scarlett said anxiously .

Watching this scared and child like side of Scarlett's Shu found her very very cute .He never thought the high and mighty red dragon empress would be so sensitive and jealous .

" okay .. okay.. now stop crying will you I don't like crybady . " Shu said and started stroking Scarlett's red hair .

Hearing this Scarlett immediately stopped crying and wiped out her tears . " No..no I'm not a crybady , who said I'm crying .. humph.. you're still so bad . " Scarlett pouted .

" hahahaha okay now.. let's sleep.. it's getting late . " Shu chuckles and stopped teasing her .

Scarlett wanted to say something when Shu told her to sleep but couldn't say and Shu could see that so he asked her instead " What is there anything else you want ? "

Seeing Shu said it himself Scarlett decided to show him instead of telling him , so she just nodded her head and instantly kissed him on the lips .

Shu was surprised when Scarlett suddenly kissed him , he knew she liked him she said herself but he didn't think she was bold enough to kiss him directly .

Scarlett was not experienced in kissing and it was soon clear when her teeth started to get in the way , so Shu took the lead and guided her . Since she already took the initiative Shu was not going to refuse her and Scarlett was the most beautiful woman Shu had ever seen and it was no denying .

" I want to sleep hugging you can I ? " Scarlett asked after the kiss .

" Of course you can but you have to wake me up with a good morning kiss is that okay . " Shu agreed how could he refuse to embrace a beauty for the night will he still be a man ? god would probably strike him dead although Shu didn't think god would want to take responsibility for a all out war with the dragon race by killing him .

" O...okay if you really want to then ....i.i agree .." Scarlett was very embarrassed but still agreed nonetheless .

And like that they slept peacefully in each other's embrace shareing they're warmth with each other .
