"What the heck is she doing with those juniors?" Kelvin asked with a pained expression.
"It's not too good but I don't see anything wrong with that," Nux said with a shrug. "It's not worth getting worked up for."
"Easy for you to say, tsk!" Kelvin mumbled and clicked his tongue. He left the food he was eating and concentrated on Elina who was enjoying her quiet time with Zion and Aria.
Some juniors there where surprised, some angered that it wasn't them that were given the privilege to spend time with a senior, a damn pretty one for that matter, while some also wished for a moment like that to come to them.
Meanwhile, Zion could feel all the negative feelings being directed at him by almost everyone in the hall. He knew the reason why they were staring at him like that but on second, he didn't actually cared about it. They could stare all they want, it wasn't his business.
He was more interested in the pretty senior, he wanted to know why she joined them, disregarding the hot topics arising.
"So, senior Elina, can you tell us why you joined us?" He asked her. He had found out that she was mute but didn't want to use hand gestures or whatever to talk to her, especially now that they were in public. He was afraid if letting other juniors find out about it.
Elina didn't reply and focused on finishing her meal, after that, she took out a piece of paper from the small pouch she was carrying and scribbled down something on it. She handed the paper to him after she was done and then stood up, and left the hall.
After she had left, Zion opened the paper only to find two words on it. 'Behind the hall'
He understood the content of the message but it made him wonder why she wanted to see him. Nevertheless, he was going to meet her.
After he was done eating with Aria, he told her to return since he had something to do. At first, she didn't want to go because she suspected that he was going to see Elina but then, she remembered what Zion told her from the beginning and so she reluctantly left and returned to her room.
Zion made sure that no one was watching him and then he went to the back of the hall. There he saw Elina waiting for him while sitting on a small boulder there.
Walking up to her, he asked. "Senior Elina, why did you want to see me?"
Elina looked up and saw him, a smile spread out on her face which surprised Zion because she didn't look like someone who could smile that way. She made a hand signal to him, telling him to come and he did.
When he was close enough, she gave him a paper with something written on it. He collected it and began to read the content.
After he was done, his face darkened and he squeezed the paper in his hand without knowing. Then Elina gently took his hand in hers and made him look at her.
'So this is why she could no longer talk!' He thought inwardly. 'How could her father do such a thing to his child?' He growled inwardly. "I can't believe some men can be so evil!" He mumbled. "You know what, you can confide in me. I will help you get your voice back, it's a promise!"
Elina's eyes glittered as she gazed at him. Since the day she left her father's house and escaped from his clutches, this was the first comforting word that someone ever said to her.
It seemed as though a light had appeared at the end of the tunnel for her. It was not easy to obtain the light, and this light... She would grab unto for the rest of her life. She had decided to trust him since the moment she set her eyes on him, and she was certain that it wasn't a bad decision.
Maybe for him, she was willing to speak again. For him, she was willing to voice out her first word again.
"Th-th-" She tried to speak but it was difficult for her to do so. Tears gathered in her eyes and she was prepared to look away but Zion grabbed her jaw gently and leaned over, bringing his face close to hers.
"What do you want to do?" He asked, softly. "Don't even try to shed a single tear because you are not allowed to do so."
Her eyes glittered as she gazed at him. Then he used his index finger to wipe the tears away from her eyes. He studied her face carefully and that's when he noticed the small mole by the side of her upper lips. No one would notice it from a far distance, unless they come closer to her just like him.
Seeing the mole, he thought she looked so pretty, especially under the moonlight. Using his index finger, he gently brushed her lips, they were pink and soft.
"Can I kiss you?" He whispered.
Elina didn't reply and fixed her gaze on him. She didn't know what to say to him.
"If you don't want it, I can leave," Zion said and was about to let go of her but she grabbed his hand instantly and slowly nodded her head.
Gaining her approval, Zion leaned forward again and kissed her on the lips. Feeling the softness of her lips against his, he Desired for more. Thus, he began to suck on her lips. He sucked her lips for some time before deciding to move forward. He slide his tongue inside her mouth and began to suck her tongue. What surprised him was that though timid, Elina's tongue responded and the two began to dance around.
His hands didn't stay idle as he helped her to her feet and then pulled her to himself. He had her breasts pressed against his chest. Then, slowly, he brought his hand to he back and slide his hand under her short skirt. Her skin felt very soft under his touch and he loved it.
He pulled her more closer to him and grabbed her butts with his both hands, as soft as they were, he squeezed them roughly.
She could have moaned but she could not talk, still, Zion knew from her body movements that she was loving it. As such, he pressed forward.
He stopped kissing her and gazed at her face, her cheeks were red and her eyes dreamy. Sje craved for his touch.
Zion took his hands to her top and unbuttoned it, he was about to remove it when she suddenly grabbed his hand, stopping him from advancing.
"What is the problem?" He asked her gently. As he gazed at her, he noticed that she was frowning, not only that, she was looking scared. "Do you not want me to continue?"
She bit her lower lips, she didn't know how to tell him what her problem was.
"I told you that you can trust me, isn't it? You don't have to be scared of anything ," Zion whispered to her. Seeing that she was still reluctant, he then leaned and brought his face to her ears. "I know you have your difficulties and I am not the one to judge you," he whispered to her eyes. His voice was gentle, sending shivers of desires down her body. "I swear, I will do my best to take care of you. Every touch of mine will wipe away the horrible memories your scum of a father created for you and when I'm done, you won't be able to remember what he looks like. It's a promise baby."
He traced his hand to her left ear and caressed it. "Open your heart to me and I'll give you a reason to be happy once again."
