14 14. The Vision

I quickly pulled up my pants, grabbed my other shirt and went after her. Then stop when she gasp as she opened the door revealing Florence and Walter. She had an amused expression, while Walter was looking a bit mad.

But why?

I quickly put on my shirt, when I noticed that Florence was smirking obviously knew what had just happened between Shani and me.

Then Shani awkwardly let everyone inside, while Walter was still tensed.

"Shani, I see that you're getting yourself quickly acquainted with him...."

"Walt baby..." Florence tried to calm him down.

"Walter, I do not like how you addresses my future wife." I eventually said when he was being disrespectful towards her.

"I believe that you should get to know her first before you hit the sack!" Walter was coming closer to me, obviously wanting to fight me but for all the wrong reasons.

From Shani's story I gathered that Walter was being an overly protective big brother.

"My darling, how would you like me to proceed with this nuisance?" I asked my future wife calmly, making him more irritated.

"You should do nothing. I've known Walter for years, he's just not used to seeing me with a man. Walter, Florence please take a seat while I make some tea for both of you. Arkael, would you help me in the kitchen?"

"But I'm a man, I should sit while woman waits on me?" I asked her feeling confused. But then she let out the most beautiful laughter, making Walter looked at his mate. I guessed he had never hear her laughing so freely, and I guessed that the future has another different manner for a woman waiting on her man.

"I'll help you..." Walter quickly got up, but then I told him to sit, if she wanted me then I'd do it.

Then Florence and Walter were whispering a bit too harshly, while she was still trying to calm him down.

"I think, they're having one of those lovers quarrel. I don't think it's you." I whispered to Shani, then she quickly cast them a glance and agreed with me.

"Shani I'm sorry for this, we will talk later...Arkael, you have my permission to do what's necessary with him." Florence said abruptly, while walking to the door leaving Walter behind.

Then he grabbed her hand roughly, making her winced and teary. I didn't know their problem, but I do know that he was hurting her.

"Get your hand off of her. She is to be treated nicely, and you're making her cry." I was by her side quickly.

He eventually took his hand off of her, with a realization that he had just bruised her with his tight grip. Then she was looking at him, while he was doing the same.

But then she eventually backed away from him, and I was shielding her from Walter, Shani was taking Florence then embraced her warmly.

I told him to calm down and give her some space. "She's safe here. Let her sort out her feelings?"

"Flo baby, please come home with me..." he was asking her one last time, but she shook her head at him then Shani whispered her caring words, and she breakdown in her arms and Walter finally backed away let her stay with us.

I eventually leave them both to their privacy, while I get back to the kitchen and finish my tea. Then after a few moments I decided to go to the back garden, and continue on my dragon sculpture.

I had a lunch break an hour later, when Shani called me from inside the house. We had a quiet lunch, while Flo was still crying in the guest bedroom.

"I'll take her lunch later, she's really in a bad shape. But I think she's going to be just fine. They just needed a break from each other..."

"Are you okay?"

"Why? but, yes I'm good..."

"You left the bed in a hurry, it was your first and you were uncomfortable when we start..." I caressed her cheek, making her smile shyly at me.

"I'm good, thank you for asking..." she answered. I pulled her in for a hug and kissed her temple. Then we parted, as I went back to the garden and she was going back to the guest bedroom.

It was almost dark when Shani came out of the house, and find me still working on my dragon sculpture.

"Arkael, come.. dinner is ready and Flo is waiting for you."

I washed up and join the ladies at the table, we had a nice dinner and ended it with a light conversation.

"Arkael, I'm sorry to interrupt your private time." Flo said as she pass me the coffee.

"It's alright, you had helped me more than I could repay. This is nothing." I smiled warmly at her and caressed her knuckles, in a friendly soothing manner.

But she tensed a bit, then looked at Shani. And Shani nodded at her.

Damn it...what now?

"What? What did you see?" I asked her knowing that Florence is a Clairvoyant.

"You're going back to hell, I don't know why or when..." Florence said when I cut her statement, asking Shani and waited for her answer dreadfully.

"And you knew about this, didn't you? You knew and didn't tell me anything?"

I asked her again, but then all of my feelings were coming back, all the pain that was going to be inflicted as I fall down to hell. But above all else was the feeling that I won't get to see her. I called her my love already, since the feeling had been there for her. Still there.

And I to have to leave her...

Damn it! Is this one of her elders fucked up games, is this how they're going to toy with me?

"I'm sorry, I'm done with dinner." My voice croaked, as I excuse myself from the table.

I didn't wait for her answer, honestly the great old king of hell is a wuss, and he didn't want to hear the bad news. So, no news it is.

I went to the back garden, and decide to calm myself down by finishing off on my sculpture. There was nothing I could do until that exact moment arrived.

I took a deep breath and carry on carving the wood. It was forming nicely, it reached just above my chest. The moonlight provide me with enough lighting to carry on with my work.

It was couple of hours later, when she came for me. My mind was at peace and I faced her calmly.

"Arkael, come you need to wash up again." That was all she said, and I went with her willingly.

My shirt was thrown to the laundry basket, my pants were pulled down. She was undressing me, then herself and pulled me into the shower.

She didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to ask. I didn't want to know the truth, I was focussing on prolonging my stay with her. There was a pinch on my chest when I look at her, knowing that one day we will be parted.

I was kissing her slowly, cherishing her body and loving her truly. There were no rush, as we did everything in a very slow pace.

I was bedding her with all the love that I have for her, as if it was our last night together. Florence couldn't tell me when, so it could be anytime including tonight.

She melted in my arms, she moaned and whimpered as I cherish her and took her to ecstasy over and over again, until my seathed shaft entered her and thrust slow and deep. I was keeping the pace to her liking, I didn't know if I was going to have her again after this.

I was groaning, and grunting intimately in her ears. She was squirming under me, and clenching me hard until we came simultaneously. And at that time since hundreds of years of my existence I felt love. The feeling was flowing, it was like a surge throughout my body. We looked into each other's eyes knowingly.

I pulled her tight in my embrace, after discarding the condom. I was giving all my love, and somehow I knew she realize it too without even hearing it. Cause somehow I was also feeling her love. A feeling of calmness lulled both of us to sleep.

I need to be ready.
