22 Kisses

I sat down on a wooden bench as I watched Luke carry a duckling.

Should I tell Luke my dream? But that's too embarrassing. Maybe I should leave the important parts out. But I still can't do that!

"You look troubled, Vio."

I raised my head and looked at him.

"I.."

I paused, should I really tell him?

"I was wondering about the scar."

In the end, I just can't bring myself to tell him.

"Scar?"

I nodded. I looked around to see if there were some servants around but it was a good thing that we were alone right now.

I slid down the cloth on my left shoulder and showed him his bite mark that looked like a scar.

"This one. I tried healing this a few times but it won't disappear."

He sat down beside me and stared at it for a while before I finally felt his warm touch on that scar. I felt shivers run down my spine..

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I just thought that maybe because you're in a higher rank than me that's why I couldn't heal it."

Yes, that must be the case.

When he stroked that part, I felt it burn which made me flinch. "Brother."

He looked at me before he pulled back his hand.

I raised the cloth back to my shoulder and fixed my dress. "Anyway, lets head back, shall we?"

"Can I still ask you for a dance?"

I blinked a few times. He still in it? I sighed, I guess there's no wrong in allowing him.

"Okay."

He stood up and offered his hand to me which I happily accepted as I stood up.

He twirled me around which made me giggle before he caught me by my waist.

We danced there inside the barn as he hummed some random tune.

"Say Luke..Is it possible to fall in love with a person in a dream?"

That man in my dream, I really feel so attached to him. Giving him my instant permission means he's someone important, right?

"Why do you ask?"

Fine. I will tell him about that man. If I won't let this out, it will continue to bother me for the following days and I can't allow that to happen.

"I dreamed of a man.."

I saw a smirk on his lips. "Is it me?"

I rolled my eyes. "If it was you, I would have know you in an instant."

He chuckled. "Okay, okay. So what about this man?"

"I fell in love with him.."

Luke stopped which made me stopped from dancing as well.

"Come again?"

I lowered my head, I don't want to see him look weirdly at me. "I said that.. I fell in love with that guy."

"How can you say that you fell in love with him? How can you be sure that it's love?"

Right, how was I able to know?

"He makes me happy and he gives me this warm feeling I never experienced."

"If that's true, this is your first time falling in love with someone, are you sure those feelings are love?"

I nodded. According to the romance books I read, it should be love, right? The way they described it, I was feeling the same thing in my dream.

"I can't allow that~ My cute little sister is being stolen from me by a guy in a dream. I feel jealous." He hugged me.

I giggled and raised my head to see his face, he was pouting. "I can't allow my pretty sister to love another guy other than your amazing brother."

"You're being childish right now you know." I giggled.

"But I'm being defeated by a random guy from a dream." He huffs. "Violet, you can't fall in love with any random guy, understand? What if he's actually someone dangerous?"

"He's just a guy in a dream, there's no harm in falling in love with him, right? I can always wake up once it turns into nightmare.. but brother.. I don't think he'll harm me. I feel like I know him."

" Other than me, who's the other person that you love the most?"

I blinked a lot. "Daddy? Eww! No! It can't be daddy! There's no way I'm going to kiss that old man on the lips! I'm his daughter!"

He laughed. "Hahaha! I didn't said anything about that. I was just asking who are the people you love."

I pouted. "How mean! You're playing with me!"

He was still laughing, he looked so happy tho. He pulled me and we started dancing again, taking big steps around the barn. "You're too adorable, Violet."

I puffed out my cheeks, although I still followed his lead in the dance.

"You said earlier that you won't kiss father, that means, is it okay if you kiss me instead? You won't mind that?"

"You're my brother!" I pouted as raised my head and looked at him.

His grinned at me. "Your brother wants a kiss, won't you give him one?"

"In your dreams! Hmpf!" I turned my head, ignoring him instead.

"Ah.. I guess it can only be in my dream." He chuckled.

We came into a stop but he still won't let go of me from his hug.

"Eww brother, I'm not into incest you know!"

He blinks a few times. "There's no wrong on kissing a brother on the cheek, right?"

Eh?

A mischievous smirk came out from his lips. "Oho~ Are you thinking of kissing me on the lips?"

My face started burning upon realizing what he said. He never asked for a kiss on the lips, I was assuming too much and it's embarrassing!

"I don't mind if it's from my adorable Violet~"

This playboy, trying to make a move on his sister too eh?Isn't he satisfied with the other girls? I think I spoiled him too much.

"How about kissing my fist, BROTHER?"

"Come ooon, are you sure you want to ruin this handsome face of mine?"

Hmm.. he does have a point. I admire beautiful things and faces, I don't really like ruining them.

He leaned down, making his face close to mine. "Come on. It's a kiss on the cheek, right?"

My heart started racing.. Am I nervous? No. So why is it beating so fast?

"Fine.." I sighed.

"Then my other cheek, oh, kiss my nose and forehead too, okay? Hm, where else? Ah! My chin!"

This guy.. (=_=)

I huffed. "Fine!"

I didn't mind it since he was my spoiled brother anyway.

I kissed him on his cheeks, his nose, his forehead and lastly, his chin. "Happy now?"

He smirked. "You left a place."

I frowned. "No I didn't."

He tapped his lips with his finger. "Here. You didn't kissed me here."

...That's it.

I stepped hard on his foot before I turned away and left him limping in the barn.

"Violet~!" I heard his whining voice in the barn.

Idiot brother.
