Chapter 24: Longing.

What???

“Master, are you alright?” Fiona asked as she saw me spit out my water.

“Wait for real?” Caden asked.

“That's bad”. Mirabell said with a terrified tone.

“I was just joking”. Fiona said flatly.

“With a straight face? That was not a joke! ” Joan, one of my friends spoke.

“I just didn't want to stop calling Master, Master”. She said.

I got up feeling full already from the drama.

“We'll be leaving now. Come on fiona”. I said dragging her by the hand to the training ground.

\~~~~~~~~~

Even after the break I had, I still wasn't able to perform the wind magic. What was I doing wrong?

I tried and tried again but nothing worked.

I even tried to copy Fiona but nothing happened.

I was beginning to become frustrated.

“Breathe Luana, close your eyes and feel the air around you”. Massimo said with a gentle voice.

Somehow, that soothed me and I relaxed a little.

I closed my eyes and tried to relax, to feel the air around me.

I thought of ric. How he must be doing? Was he doing alright?

"Impressive! You've done it". Massimo said as he clapped.

"Well done master". Fiona said, also clapping.

I opened my eyes to see I had lifted the rock.

I was so caught up in the wind and thoughts of Ric that I didn't even notice.

I laughed.

Who knew Ric could have such an influence on me?

"I knew you could do it". Massimo said placing a hand on my shoulder. I smiled.

"Thank you Master Massimo, it's because of your guidance that I was able to pull through"

He patted my head. Somehow, that felt oddly familiar. Why?

"Have we met before?" I asked. The Sense of familiarity was too much to ignore.

"Why do you ask, my dear?" He asked.

"Well..i..i don't know, you seem familiar, sorry for asking". I said with a nervous laugh.

He was about to say something but we got interrupted by Madam Margaret's call.

"I have to go now". I said walking away, waving.

He waved back.

"See you tomorrow Luana!"

\~~~~~~~~~

For the next couple of days I excelled at wind magic. Massimo was patient towards me, and Fiona my biggest cheerleader.

One night, back in my room, I was practicing my air magic and suddenly remembered the vision or illusion we saw back in the forest of Illusione. Why would my mind go there?

I blamed on stress and decided to rest for the day.

"Tap tap!"

Taps from the window woke me from sleep.

Could it be rain?

"Tap tap!" I heard it again.

I decided to check who it was. I walked to the window, my lantern in hand. My jaw dropped at who I saw.

"Ric?! Is that you?" I asked taking a closer look. It was him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, opening the window.

"I came to see you". He said, as I helped him get inside.

I chuckled.

"You miss me already you couldn't wait to se..."

He pulled me into a hug, cutting me off. He smelled like fresh daisies.

"At night, all I could think about was you, Emerald. Your laugh, your smile even the times you wanted to kill me".

We both laughed.

He looked at me, his hands cupping my cheeks. He looked so fucking handsome. His long hair was a little messy, his shirt had some buttons undone.

"I missed you". He said, inching closer.

"I missed you too Ric". I said, barely a whisper.

He crashed his lips onto mine. It was hungry kiss. We were both hungry. He pushed me backwards slowly, gently until he pinned me against the wall.

I ran my fingers through his hair, feeling the softness, his hand was on my waist, caressing it slowly. My body burned.

A knock came startling us. We paused and looked at the door.

"Luana? Can I come in?"

Shit! It was Madam Margaret.

"You have to hide". I whispered to Ric, dragging him to the side of the bed. "Get down". I said.

"Hide under the bed?" He asked in a hushed tone.

"Well yeah. She might want to come inside and if she sees you, that's going to be a big problem".

"Luana? Who are you talking to?" Madam Margaret asked.

"I'm coming!".

I opened the door and tried to comport myself as best as I can, but I knew I was a wreck.

"Who were you talking to?" She asked.

"No one. I was training". I lied.

"Training?"

"Yes, I was".

She looked like she didn't believe me but didn't want to push further either.

"I just came to tell you that Massimo and Fiona won't be coming tomorrow, so no training tomorrow". She said.

"Great! So no need to wake up early in the morning?" I asked with puppy eyes.

"Yeah, no need to". She ruffled my hair. "Alright, get some sleep". She said and turned to leave.

"I will, good night".

I closed the door, locking it with the room key.

Ric was already behind me, planting kisses on my neck.

"Who is Massimo?" He mummered.

"My tutor". I said, my mind hazy.

He turned me around and picked me up bridal style and lay me gently on the bed.

"I believe we dropped off somewhere?" He smirked.

"Yes, I believe so". I wrapped my arms around his neck

His lips found mine, sucking and nibbling my lips, then he pushed deeper, his tongue playing with mine. It was so sexy and good.

His hand caressed my shoulders and stopped at my chest. He pulled away from the kiss, staring at my breasts.

I wasn't wearing a bra in my nightdress so my nipples were hard against my dress.

He looked at me, as if asking me for permission. I just whimpered, his stares were doing something to me.

He pushed down the hand of my nightdress, half of my breasts were showing now.

"Luana....may I touch you?"
