"I know," she muttered which he smiled at before capturing her lips in a searing kiss. Zilvshun has made up her mind that whatever happens she would just go with the flow, she didn't want to let go of this man, even though she was aware that she might lose him in the end but even so she decided not to push him away, from now on she would stand by him.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows and cast its rays on the two people on the bed, the white sheet was covering them but their legs which were tangled together were exposed, and as the sun rays fell on them their skin glowed while the curtains fluttered in the morning breeze.
Zilvshun eyes fluttered slightly as her brows pulled together, she yawned while opening her eyes, and she tried to turn and lay on her back but felt something preventing her from doing so. She looked at her waist and saw an arm around her waist and her back pressed against a chest, a naked chest.
Zilvshun blushed recalling what happened between her and the young man yesterday, she never knew a man can make a woman lose her sanity in bed. She moved his hand from her waist and turned around to look at him, half of his face was framed with his hair as he slept with an arm folded under his head, she got down from the bed after a while but hissed in pain the moment she stood up. She limped into the bathroom and took a relaxing bath before putting on one of his t-shirts and going downstairs to prepare breakfast.
About twenty-five minutes later, Renly woke up with a smile on his lips, he touched the other side of the bed with his hand but was met with a cold bed which made him snap his eyes open immediately, he sat up and looked around the room, seeing that her handbag and cell phone were there on the tea table in front of him, he let out a sigh of relief before getting up and walking into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
After taking a shower, he went to dress up in casual wear. He came out of the closet with a bedsheet in his hands as he walked towards the bed, placing the sheet on the armchair in the room, he took the pillows and blanket from the bed before proceeding to get the bedcover off but stopped in his track when something he never dreamt of met his sight.
"What have you done, Tristian?" he asked himself massaging his temples in helplessness as he sat down at the edge of the bed with his shoulders slammed in defeat. Why didn't he notice it last night?
Why didn't she tell him? Why could she allow that to happen when she knew? Just how much hope does she have in him? Does she not value it?
These were the questions running through his mind at the moment. He was torn between asking her these questions and more. While Tristian was lost in his thoughts, the door opened and Zilvshun walked herself in with a tray of food and water, placing the tray of breakfast on the tea table, she smiled and walked towards the young man but furrowed her brows when she sensed how tensed his aura has turned.
She wondered what happened to dampen his mood and aura, he looked defeated with his shoulders slammed and his head bowed which made the V between her brows become even deeper as she stood beside him quietly. She patted him on the shoulder thrice which snapped him out of his plight. Tristian glanced up at her slowly with question-filled eyes, Zilvshun looked into the young man's eyes with a worried expression.
" What's bothering you? " she asked him with her still furrowed brows while he stood up, taking her hands into his with a sigh of helplessness.
"Why didn't you tell me that....?" Tristian didn't know what to say as the bile in his throat was difficult to swallow, Scarlett looked at him with a confused stare.
"Tell you what? "she asked him her tone sounding confused, she didn't have anything to tell him yesterday, at least not that the whole n is hiding something. "That you have not been touched by a man before," he completed with a helpless sigh.
"Does it matter or is it necessary?" she asked him in a low tone. Does he not like that he was the first man that touched her?, Isn't he happy? Or did he simply not like it because she was a virgin? All these questions wwwermakingethem r feel dizzy as her stomach churned in nervousness.
"No it's nothing like that, I would have made it more memorable for you than what I did last night, plus what if this relationship falls apart?" he said and asked worriedly while Scarlett breathe out as relief washed over her.
"I took away your dignity without giving something in return and I don't want you to regret that. I'm very happy that I am your first, what more could I ask for? Knowing that I might not be able to journey with you forever is something I know I could never accept," Renly said truthfully. He might not love her but he knows what kind of woman she is and he would be a fool to not know what losing her means but at the same time, Renly being aware of this was too painful for him and he didn't quite understand why.
"What makes a memory worth recalling is when it happens naturally and about our relationship not holding, although I would be disappointed and sad if we go the separate paths that shouldn't stop us from enjoying what we have now," Zilvshun replied sad smile but her eyes also held reassurance.
"I won't and don't regret giving myself to you so stop beating up yourself over nothing and come eat your breakfast," she added as she dragged him towards the tray of breakfast while he let out a chuckle.
After having breakfast, the duo cleaned up the place, have their bath, and drove back to the villa. Zilvshun was exhausted from the activities of last night and this morning, she was fighting to keep her eyes open as she looked out of the window, she need some rest and she was tired of sitting in the car. As if hearing her thoughts, Renly willed the car to a halt.
They both exited the car and walked towards the entrance of the house, both releasing a sigh of satisfaction. Since it was the weekend, Zilvshun's family paid a visit to Renly's family, both families were chatting and laughing happily, if someone was to pass by that person would have surely sensed the love, respect, and strong bond both families have.
Hearing a couple of footsteps approaching them, both families stopped talking and turned to look at the entrance with raised brows as they saw their children walking in and holding hands, and as if on cue, everyone's eyes moved to their joint hands before relaxing in the couches. Azure and Colin's smirked widely.
With the way their families were looking at them, Zilvshun felt her cheeks warm under the knowing gazes of both families which caused her to move behind Renly.
Renly who noticed her action squeezed her hand in reassurance while he cleared his throat awkwardly. "Is something wrong?" Renly asked looking at their families back and forth.
"Nope, nothing is wrong" Adir replied teasingly causing his sister who was behind the young man to blush in embarrassment as she pulled her hand from his.
"I'm tired, I will just go upstairs and rest," Zilvshun's voice rang out as she automatically run to the elevator while the two families laughed in amusement. Renly sighed helplessly as he sat in the armchair facing them.
"I will just go check up on her," Mirabelle said with a whistle accompanied by a mischievous grin. Edward shook his head at his daughter's mischievous grin.
"Don't embarrass her more than she already is, Mira," Silvia told her daughter over the shoulder.
" I'm just going to make sure she's alright," Mirabelle replied with a chuckle as she walked into the elevator, Adir who heard her knew his baby was going to get embarrassed by his woman.
Mirabelle knocked on Renly's door bouncing from one foot to the other, she heard Zilvshun say "Come in, please" after a minute. Mirabelle pushed the door open, entered, and closed it behind her gently before walking towards the bed and jumping onto it, her grin widening effortlessly as she gazes at Zilvshun teasingly.
Zilvshun covered her face with her hands exasperatedly, she wants the ground to open up and swallow her at that moment.
"Jeez, sis you're glowing. Spill it," Mirabelle said with a chuckle.
"Did you guys do it?" Mirabelle continued to probe further as she stared at Zilvshun intently, she doesn't want to miss any reaction from her.
"We did," Zilvshun muttered in embarrassment.
"Damn, I knew it my brother can't wait for long because you're too sexy," Mirabelle said with a slight laugh making Zilvshun more embarrassed than she already is, goodness she was as good as dead right now.
