CHAPTER 10
AILA
It is endearing that someone like Caelon can be so sweet even if it is not in his nature. It was in the little things that I fall for him even more but I chose not to tell him that. My heart beats fast when he caress my skin. My knees go weak when I watch him cook. I feel like I couldn’t breath at all when he pull me closer while he is deeply asleep and when the sun rises, I gaze in his eyes as he opens them.
Everything with Caelon is a hundred times better and I am loving him more and more, it’s scary.
I watch Caelon as he quietly sat by the window, gazing down at the couple of tourist trekking up and down the path. I brush my hand on his shoulders and sat on top of his lap. Unconsciously, he wrapped his arms around me, not taking his eyes off the tourists. His action makes my heart hurt. How can he claim that he was a banished cupid when he is the sweetest being on earth?
“I am planning upon taking you to Italy this evening.” I touched his cheek and he smiled. “If you insist upon staying here, that can be negotiated, of course. I won’t decline your kind offer.” He sniffed my neck and I bit my lip, trying to stop my giggle as I tried to get away from him. Caelon pulled me back to him and snuggled, “I do not know why I like holding you like this. It is very unlike of me.”
“I guess you just love me more than you hate me.” I tilted my head and poke his cheek with my index finger, “You may not be aware of it yet, but your body tells you so. You are in love of me.”
“I beg to differ,” His eyes burned as he held my gaze, his hand lazily skimming the thin flimsy dress I have. “I still hate you so much that I find it hard to not hurt you.”
His gaze was so intense that I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He is speaking the truth, and though it hurts, I am glad that he is honest with me.
The rain has just started and the tourists are scurrying up the path for some shelter. Caelon was absorbed of my body as I am with my thoughts. I realize how much he changes when he is sexually satisfied. He is more calm, and happier. He is easier to talk with, and he is less grumpy. Caelon is kinder and more civil with me next to him.
He loves my body more than he hates my existence, that is for sure.
Although it hurts and most of the time, exhausting, I’d rather spend the nights with him on bed than worrying about a way to find my parents and wallowing upon what could have been. I must take my chances even if I know that Caelon will not love me. He has proposed a plan that may help me with my search yet we couldn’t discuss it properly since we are always preoccupied with things.
“I liked it when your hair is plaited like this. It’s neat and it gives me a grip,” He pulled and I shifted my head to an angle where he could easily kiss me. Caelon smiled, “You are so beautiful and I am glad that you are mine.”
“Oh, Caelon. I refuse that claim of yours. I am no one else’s possession. I am of my own, do you understand?”
“So, you are contradicting me now?” He snapped his jaw and carried me upon his waist and to the bed.
I guess, trip to Italy is postponed for another time.
“Caelon, had it ever crossed your mind that you may have conceived with a human? Considering all the sexual activities you had in the past until now, it is impossible for you not to have a son or a daughter.” Caelon shifted his arm only to cover his mouth. “What?”
The laugh that ensued from his mouth was surprising and I found myself staring at him in fascination, “Why are you laughing?”
“Because you are funny!” He wipes the side of his eyes and snorted, unable to fully stop himself from laughing. “How is it funny? Caelon, I am being serious here. You just married me. I am basically your wife so I have to make sure that I should know about these things! If you ever had a son or a daughter, you should introduce me and I will kindly care for your descendants.”
“ ‘Descendants’?Pft--!” Caelon snorted as he laughed once again. I push his head off the pillow and hit his side. Groaning, he finally said, “What you are saying is ridiculous. It could never be possible for me to conceive with a human or anyone. It is not just possible,” he laughed and I let him, watching him as he doubled over.
“How can you be so sure?”
“Well, because there have been no one to carry my child on earth or anywhere in particular. I guess the reason is that I truly not belong here.” I touched my stomach and gaze at him, doubtful of how sure he sounds. “Don’t worry. No matter how much we do it, with or without contraceptive, you are safe. Plus, we are of a different species. Work on your science, Aila.”
“Even if you argue, there could be instances,” I shifted when he caress my stomach, kissing the sides of my neck before he trails down to my breast. His lips lingered down on my stomach, which he continue to touch, gently. “Caelon.”
“Impossible. The idea alone is ridiculous,” He raised his head and a little gasp escape my lips when I caught his loving gaze, “Yet the idea is new and exciting for me, just as I have felt when I decided to marry you.”. He laid another kiss upon my stomach and crawled his way upon me, kissing me as though I am his life source.
