Tina further sped up the car, without caring how fast she was going, feeling every second pass over her as she hit the steering wheel in frustration.

Fast, needed to go faster; without losing time, more and more quickly

When she parked her car and got out of it, she saw the large number of people in that church…

But still, refused to believe that all those people who had told her about this ceremony were right; Nevertheless, she almost ran to catch the first plane she could to be sure of that.

And now she was here, with all came down to this point where she was in the limbo of her sanity and heart. She walked aware of every step she took, as she removed her sunglasses. She didn’t even realized when the slow steps began to be fast and now she was running out of breath to reach for her, inwardly praying for not finding her there

Everyone was sitting there, looking happy and excited to see the couple in front of them

Such a corny and silly atmosphere…

Tina continued her way behind everyone, to the end, where no one would notice of her presence

And she saw her…

Damn, she actually saw her…

The beating of her heart burst and hit every part of her body. The whole scene in front of her was like a horrible nightmare but even within an explosion of pain and betrayal that was centered in her mind; Tina was quietly analyzing this couple in front of her

She was the type who acts immediately on her feelings, but now… with everything hitting so hard, did not even know how to react, she was in shock

She wanted to reach her… She would reach her… She will…

Because this had no sense, because it was a nightmare, because everything she’d see till now has been so painful for her, this had to be a bad joke...

Her most precious person... ready at this time to be delivered to someone else

Why? What had she done wrong for this to happen?

She stepped forward, Tina wanted to yell at her to stay away from there, tell her not to marry, she wanted to run towards her, take her away from that guy and drag her to the car where they would forget this

Then her beloved girlfriend Mean turned her head and looked at her, she seemed surprised, even terrified…

But she did nothing, just return her sight until her fiancé as if she was just another of those honored guests who looked all so anxious; and she heard as Mean accepted him as her husband “…If there is anyone in this place who refuses to this union, someone who wanted to objects to this marriage... let them speak now or forever hold their peace…”

So strong words echoed throughout the church, almost as if everyone retains the breath and she could feel Mean looks over her

But she didn’t speak a word, why she was going to do it after all? Mean hadn’t refused to marry, didn’t even look guilty to see her there “If something doesn’t belong to you, you won’t be happy even if you get it.” She muttered to herself

.

.

“If something doesn’t belong to you, you won’t be happy even if you get it.”

.

“Aom is not among them. She will never accept you, because she will return to me!”

.

  “No matter what, she will always choose me over you”

.

“She will always choose me over you!”

Tina straightened, startled panting as she tried to stop the heavy and painful beating of her heart. She looked around into the darkness, searching her cellphone; it was two in the morning and despite the discomfort of the sofa where she was, she didn’t wanted to go back to sleep and have another nightmare as such “Ah... What a night! Actually… I'm already at my limit” she covered her face with one hand, and then reaches her gaze to the bed in the room “Ah, such a bad friend I have, sleeping so peacefully when I’m not… she really bothers me” she muttered indignantly “Damn! This will be another long night” She snorted and got up “"Oh well, I'll have to start preparing a lot of coffee…"

.

Taiwan, W Taipei Hotel

Aom snorted nervously, trying to calm the agitated beating of her heart as she decided to open the door; it had been embarrassing the “honeymoon gift" that Jittaleela Messrs had given her and therefore, practically had taken out of her office and carried to the airport so she could give “a good surprise” to Tina, who had to go to Taiwan for two weeks of work for a commercial fashion company, so now, with harsh work she trying to control her heart as she turned the doorknob where Tina was resting

She smiled helplessly as she entered to the room and tightened on the box of chocolates she brought for Tina, these were her favorites

In bed Aom saw her sleeping with the covers over her head and across the bed, which seemed rather odd because Tina never moved from her place. She stopped at the side of the bed and with one hand slowly withdrew the sheet to see her better…

It wasn’t Tina…

Maybe they had given her the wrong number of the room, she tried to calm down a bit …“Zee, get up now or we will be late again” Aom heard the unmistakable voice of Tina as she left the bathroom, buttoning her shirt quite naturally, by this time look up; both were surprised to see each other “Aom, what are you doing here?” Tina asked confused

Then again, Aom thought back to that person who was still sleeping peacefully in the bed and she frowned, feeling angry, disappointed, indignantly “You… fool womanizer, I cannot believe you can’t be able to control yourself!”

“What? What did you say?” Tina didn’t know what was going on here

“So you cheat on me and pretend that nothing is happening?!”  Aom pointed out that lump in the bed

Oh, so what Aom had thought... is that she had brought someone to cheat on her?

“Huh? What’s going on? Why is there so much noise around? Tina, couldn’t be a little quieter, you and that weird girl” said a sleepy and grumpy Zee as she sat on the bed; Tina closed her eyes, regretting the excess of speech her poor friend had

“What… What did she say?” Aom bothered even more

“Nothing! Maybe this dumb just keep sleeping, but she was leaving now” Tina spoke as she took Zee arm and made her get up, but then she noticed a little detail… “Tell me… Do you perhaps want me to be killed?” she complained, watching as she was wearing only underwear; T-shirt and boxers

“What’s wrong with me? I don’t like to wear clothes when I sleep, it's hot” Zee excused herself in a low voice

“You…” They heard the threatening voice of Aom

“Just get out, if you want to live, go away now!” Tina murmured

“Ah… I believe you, I’m leaving” Zee responded and quickly put on her shirt and took in her hand her pants and shoes “Sorry buddy, if you don’t survive, I will remember you sacrifice, see ya!” Zee patted her shoulder one last time and fled out the room

Once the door was fully closed, Tina swallowed heavy; Aom’s glare didn’t help her to think clearly “I swore that isn’t what it seems”

“Is that so? Then, what is? She crossed her arms

“She just slept here, nothing more” Tina denied “I didn’t even sleep, so the bed just took her, I… I didn’t cheat on you, and even less with her”

Suddenly all the anger of Aom disappeared at see how funny was, the way Tina was breaking her heard in search of coherent words, but then listened to one of those in special “Did you haven’t slept since yesterday?” she asked surprised

“Huh?” Tina suddenly stopped “Maybe… about two or three hours on the couch” she shrugged

“Idiot, you supposed to sleep at least eight hours, not two or three!” Aom reproached her

Tina rubbed the back of her neck “I’m sorry, I cannot help, it was really uncomfortable… So don’t be mad at me” she looked at her pleading and Aom couldn’t resist that look but said nothing “By the way… why are you here?” she asked with genuine curiosity

And Aom blushed “Your parents sent me” she looked down “Here, this is for you” she held out the box of chocolates

Tina took them “Is that so? Then I must thank them” she smiled “…I’m glad you’re here” she put the box on a table nearby and went to hug her to her surprise “And for what you saw… just… have a little of faith in me, you’re the only one for me” said softly in her ear

Aom clung to her more “Okay, I will…”

Tina took a deep breath “All right, now lend me your warmth” again, that warm breath on her neck sent Aom shivers, then, Tina dropped down on the bed with Aom on top and still holding her “I’m almost at my limit, I need to recharge and I just have like 5% of battery, so we need to stay like this a long time” Aom laughed at how silly her occurrences could be but without stopping be sweets

“Okay I can handle that” she said with humor

“Is that so? And what about a kiss?” she suggested raising both eyebrows

“Don’t test your luck”

“You’re right” Tina feigned disappointment and Aom was surprised that she only accept this without trying anything; and just stood there, feeling Tina’s arms around her and listening her beats as fast as her own heart that reached her ears as she enjoyed the embrace

Now Tina’s warm breath was in her right ear which caused a sweet shiver that made her to close her eyes, feeling the soft scent of her perfume inundate her completely, she gasped with pleasure meanwhile Tina approved this as an invitation to continue, and now, she softly brushed Aom cheek with her lips, kissing the soft skin to then go down by her neck to part of her shoulder, moving away part of the annoying fabric she used with one hand “…I thought you were going to take this time to sleep…” was the most coherent Aom could say, haltingly

“But I’d rather be here….” With one hand she could take Aom shirt and throwing it to the other side of the room, with some help from her “…with you…” gently her cheek and in one quick motion joined her lips with Aom’s, slowly but passionately. Aom slid her arms up to her neck, drawing her even more if it was possible; As Tina completely surrounding her waist with both arms.

Aom return back the kiss with the same enthusiasm she had, not knowing what had caused such an outburst in her, and didn’t care, as always. She just was now concentrated at this time, how moved over hers, as her tongue ran through her lower lip. At the same time, Tina gently ran her hands all the way to the soft skin of her legs that the tiny short she was wearing allowed her, giving to Aom a series of electric shocks that spread throughout her body

And even Tina herself with the pleasant sensation of touching and cause such tremors in Aom

She parted slightly from hers and Tina moaned in protest, then Aom spoke, bumping her breath against her lips “You know, it’s you who always try to say cool things, but now I want you to know… That I cannot promise you perfect relationship without bad moments how you make me feel because I am like a dictador" With that last part both laugh together "However, I can promise you, as long as you’re trying, I’ll stay…”

Tina sat up, even with Aom in her arms and looked seriously frowning “….Never forget what you’re saying to me now, because even if you regret it later, I will not let you to leave me” she warned her

“So surly, How can your fans think that you handsome and cute?” Aom rubbed with a finger her frown and Tina only complained with a groan “Huh? What is that?” Aom wonder, seeing a package on the room table

“Ah…”Tina turned her head “It’s a book, my parents sent it from a famous author who is being very popular lately, I don’t know why, I’m not a big fan of reading” she shrugged and put Aom aside her in bed

"Do you mind if I just open it?" Aom asked eagerly for her bad luck

"Now?" Tina said tired

"Come on, do not be so grumpy! I am curious” and Aom made a cute pouted to which she couldn’t resist

 "Okay," she sighed defeated

When Aom opened it, she noticed the book seemed childish, it was illustrated, full of drawings and with big letters; now she understood why Tina’s parents thought she would read it…

“Hey kid, want me to read a chapter for you to fall asleep?” she tried to tease, but only saw her smile

“If you read, I think I could handle any book”

“Is that so?” she raised an eyebrow and saw her nod “Then I think I will read a little” said smugly

After Tina handed Aom her shirt with a cocky smile on her face and Aom take it and muttering that she was the king of erts; Both lay down on the bed again as Aom moved the leaves of the book until she found the first chapter…

STORY ONE: The Bright Princess

In the dark night, the moon gave them the feeling of light their way. When they looked, they felt hypnotized by its brilliant figure, and from one moment to another, it is turned into their guide. But then ... they all wanted to have it for themselves

Between wars and deaths of several years, they tried to reach an agreement, regardless of the cost or the sacrifices they had to do, for them, it would be worth if everything was in silence

And they chose to believe that their feelings could reach the sky if these were transmitted by an innocent heart of which the moon will not hesitate to be truly honest

A cute and innocent young woman who always remained silent would be perfect; someone who had not experienced anything and who was not aware of the corrupt mind of anyone, would be a perfect mediator

Under the first next night, the young woman stood in front of the moon As the people in their homes, not daring to go out, the stars were asking for prayers and promises to take the girl like an offering by them

And above the firmament, without explanation and with no one to witness, was created a castle in the sky under the moon, where a star-filled journey between the Moon and Earth, will never fade in the Millennium

The light shining from the Full Moon that night was unforgettable; it was what people could notice when they took courage to come out at a few hours. But ... knew they would be attracted even more towards the moon, even more than anything else that exists, no matter what. It would always be like this and that terrified them, maybe ... the solution was to find the protection of that priceless treasure

And so it was. In a world filled with innumerable kind of persons dedicated to challenge the value and power against their enemies it was created a temple, closed away from war, unique…

A place that against his will the heir to the throne of an overthrown kingdom should stay forever; chosen by the people, the temple created to protect the place of thieves, the most prized possession.

The big and glowing Moon, who showed them an enigmatic light that made them feel safe in the nights, and now, whom was delivered a loyal guardian that would take care of it, whom was reflected in the crystalline water surrounding the temple and so deeply that it would touch the abyss, almost taking and paying for his mandatory loyalty; and despite that, he had not objected to live there because the bright moon had shown him an attractant light which made him feel lost and remorseless about it, even if he followed all his life.

But more than that light…

If it weren´t for the full moon on that night, he wouldn´t have noticed…

The silhouette of a girl who stole his attention instantly, appeared to have been carried into the moon as a permanent mark on it, he didn´t understand how she had reached so high and how she could stay there alone in that big castle with a smile that can look more mysterious that a night without moonlight, and thtat it was so bright, that seemed to use the moons to get that glow and so, bewitch anyone who looked at it, like him, which now fell under the seductive image, lost into the magic of that vision, with his soul totally mesmerized and his heart as a subordinate.

She descended with the star-filled journey just inside his temple and walked to the water's edge but without touching the ground, watching the reflection of the moon itself. He walked towards her unintentionally and within the sound of his footsteps caught her attention as she gives him a more extended smile “You are so stunning, it´s like a daydream, Are you a princess?” He extended his hand trying to touch her, examining her, carefully looking at her for so long and trying she didn’t disappear as if everything was a cruel fantasy

“I´m not, but surely you´re looks like a Prince, Are you one?”

“I will be what you want… my princess, because my loyalty and my heart are already yours” he bent, giving her a curtsy

“I can’t be your princess, I can´t stay here” She look down

“I know…you´re from up there up”

“Sorry...”

“It doesn't matter because you are my princess now, and I will go towards you, no matter what” she smiled at him once again

 “I know you will, and when that day comes I´ll be waiting for you and I'll show you the view up there who is so beautiful…” and with those last words, she vanished into the night, rising again among that path of stars

She was his treasure, his more important one, even at the first sign of love he already know, he doesnt need more time to fall for her…

And among hundreds of leaves fell between times, he searched and called her into miles of words and wondering how to find that princess who was at that brilliant and big castle. Crossing the distant night sky, but he can´t left the temple, he still need to protect the moon…
He wanted to tell her so many things…

The princess that won´t return, the one that he loved and the one tan he can´t have

But all he can do was divide his sense of longing into thousand pieces, then fold them into raindrops and send them to her, in hope than his wishes could reach to her, but still there was nothing…

But he was sure, she wouldn’t descend from above again, and he understood that everyone could be selfish with what was most important for each one, even the moon

And he wonders if it’s okay, if he wish that they could share a little more of the same time…

One day, gentleness and honestly and Ocean of stars were experimentally feelings, letting out whispers on him and falling like a thousand of raindrops from the sky, showing the darkness in the place. Say… in a night without moon, a moment of the time that he can finally feel just himself, if in an instant… he can let out his Selenocentric…

He closed his eyes and listen the drops of the crystalline rain that in his place, wishing to hold her hand and take her to a wonderful world where the spell she put on him last a Millennium

But like the different effects of the moon, he was One-Sided

For his princess he wanted to rescue, a windrow feelings; like a guardian, different from his mission to protect the moon, even from himself, no matter what, he was a perfect warrior who all sudden his heart burst open with just looked at her

He feels curious too, all the people say a lot of stories about that shining princess into the sky and he just was so hypnotized about her splendor hung aloft the night with a moon worn as if it had been a shell, washed by time´s waters as the stars and broke in roses petals in the wind

When he opened his eyes, the journey full of stars was shining how it had never done before and he wondered if he could climb for it

No matter in which moment in height he could fall, he just kept going, the road was as firm as solid rock

It was always this way? Or just this once? He had never before dared even to touch it

When he was above, he saw her in the window of one of the towers, singing as she looked the moon; and at one moment to another, was already opening the door where she was

“You’re face hasn’t changed a bit, I could recognize you, even form so high” said as she turned her eyes to him

But he didn’t looked at her “I know, and I could hear your beautiful voice even since the end of the world”

“Actually, I expected you tried to climb since before” He still remember the his vows with his princess, he shall never leave her side till the day of his life ends, just like with the moon

Millions of stars measured their distance away… “Why don’t you come down before?”

“It’s not so easy for me”

Not so easy? Waiting for the other site of the moon, He left so many pieces of his heart. Just a little more… and the world he create for her would have appeared, abandoned in this big place… he haven´t yet to see the moon this night.

“Is because the road hadn’t been so shining before?” asked pleading for not hear the words he would know he would hear

In a though neglect in a dark night…this bright instant remind him, that she´ll will always return to the moon; then she will become the stars who fall back down to earth again. Although It was prepared, he had to let her go… at this moment, the lightness in his heart loosened; but even still, the truth is that he feel like he had come to a place from which there will be no output.

“No, but because I’m afraid of falling from so high”

Ah… Just feeling like if the balcony in her temple is very high about the ground so he can´t get to her place to get out her of there, but he did. Because, a person who is willing to take the risk and leaving the comfort of loneliness can handles anything

 

“I understand, It was an honor to have seen you again” he made a reverence “I will go now Princess”

She looked confused with his answer “You want to come back?”

He closed his eyes, the feeling of getting heartbeats when he sees that beloved lightless one; he had such a fierce heartbeat right now when he looked into her loss silhouette and he still was worried about her being able to heart it hammering. “…Yes”

“Why?”

“Sorry, but I cannot think of being selfish, from now on I will be a good guardian, and I will do the right thing and If I have to, I will do everything to stay away from you, even if it’s possible or impossible.

It’s so hard for me to have an unrequited heart, I really lost in your glow” he looked at her “For my selfishness I was so blind, and having to go against your will because of me. So I will not make it anymore, I will hide on  a place where neither of us can see each other, where I can get the idea of not want to be with you anymore”

“You don’t want to be my prince anymore”

“I’m sorry… You will be my princess forever but just like the moon, I’m just going to see you, I will never touch you again, I’m just protect you from the distance” he smiled at her “Princess, I’m really sorry, knowing the person destined to be with us, tied to the red thread that binds us, but that is so long that the time together will be very slow and difficult; having an incredible story to eventually be happy with that important person, can be the desire of anyone...but not from you and me” he moved away from her and walked to the window

“What are you doing there? Are you crazy? You going to fall” she got scared

“I’m not afraid, but don’t worry, I’m not allowed to die” and he threw himself in the way of the long road of stars in where he slowly descended, like a feather. When he was on the road, he looked at her and yelled for her to listen him “This is the last time I will go up, and neither will you be able to get down! You know… the Princess of the Moon had a beautiful voice, with her voice she could reward her precious guardian, and he will be pleased!"

“Okay!” she responded as well

And he went out there, not daring to look back again, because despite promise her to forget her, he couldn’t do so, as she doesn’t ever dare to try to come back down…

Someone so scared than expected for all

Someone too brave who always lied

They were like a butterfly and a flower

The flower that ever was moving for expecting all, quiet always looking for what comes to it….

The butterfly, always seeking the most mesmerizing flower to land on it, and despite being always moving, returning to it, at see it, butterfly lands on it again as if it had never done, lying to itself

A liar butterfly…

.

.

Wow… what particular way of writing a story

“….This author is surely obsessed with the stars and the moon, so lame” Tina brought her back against her thoughts

“Huh? And what’s the matter with that? They really cool and so brightly, it’s not lame!” said indignantly

“And the story is silly too”

“How can you say that? Do you have nothing of romance? You’re an anti-protagonist; I don’t understand how women follow you, jerk!” she crossed her arms

“For believing this author is dumb, I’m a jerk?”

“Yes!” Aom nodded

“… Okay, here it is” Tina sighed “They were stupid, because if you want to gain something you have to make everything for that, don’t give up because that mean it wasn’t so important, and you must risk something worth the same as what you want” Aom was surprised with her answer, she really put attention in the story

“And if it were you, what would you do? Ah?”

Tina put a finger under her chis as she was thinking in her answer “Well, even if I know we aren’t meant for each other... I should run faster, shake it off the destiny because more important than anyone else… more important than anything… more important than my mind or my heart, I would think in my most important person and me, if she wasn’t by my side, then it would be pointless to fight only half just like surrender…. And that’s why those two characters seem so silly to me”

“Only those two characters? I thought you said the entire story was dumb” Aom crossed again her arms

“Well, I think if I were one of those characters…. Would be the moon and you can be the silly princess too” Tina ruffled her hair with one hand

“Don’t do that!” Aom removed her hand form her head “And why I have to be the princess and you the moon? Want me to find another prince so bad? you are really a Jerk!”

“Silly Princess I have…” she rolled her eyes “don’t get me wrong, just like the story, you and your prince would have no future, and then, I would have you in a big castle where I don’t have to share you again and you will always be with me”

Ah… That kind of answers could only come from Tina “Okay, You can be my moon” she smiled

And Tina smiled back to her “Well, thanks but I don’t need the stars or the moon, to see the most shining thing in my world, Actually, I’m going to kiss her now” she kissed her nose and Aom giggles

“You’re so cheesy” She covered Tina mouth with her hand

“Ah… really, you’re the one who has nothing of romanticism” Tina held her wrist “Oh… poor me with such coldhearted girlfriend, who also mistreats me and mocks my love words” she said with drama “Shame on you” She pricked her nose

“Hey, stop it” tried to remove her hand without success

“Make me” Challenged her amused

Then, Aom took a pillow and hit her in the head “Silly!”

And Tina had no choice but surrendered “Okay I give up, I give up; Now stop hitting my handsome face, that makes the money I earn!” and Aom did, to then hug her tight and hide her face against Tina

“Idiot, I’m not as cheesy as you, but you know…mom once said to me, that when we love someone; we would feel nervous like having hundreds of butterflies in our stomach”  Tina was silent, waiting for something more than words, but it was too much anxiety “Before, I never thought it could happen to me, until… I met you”

The beating of Tina´s heart skipped a beat “What… does that mean?”

“Hey dude! Its already late, we should go now for photo shoot!” Zee said excitedly into the room “Oh hell! I think you wanted about three more hours in this room and I don’t think I can see again in the same way that bed, what a ert” she shook her head mockingly and saw Tina’s murderous look and the confused expression of Aom who had already gotten up somewhat stunned by the interruption “I’m just kidding” she shrugged and then, stretch out her hand “You must be Miss Aom… just such a beautiful woman could ensure that this silly, settle her airhead” and she kiss Aom hand

But Tina looked serious “Keep your distance moron” and she pulled Aom hand away of Zee “Wait, I'll just take my sunglasses” and she went out threre, to the closet

Zee smiled, taking advantage of this opportunity alone with her “Thanks miss Aom that was really fun, not as often I can tease that fool” leered at her

“Huh? But what are you talking about?” Aom asked with innocent confusion

Zee approached Aom ear as she whispered “She’s jealous, she is burning with jealousy just for you; and believe me my dear… that is very unusual” and the surprise had left Aom stunned for a while

“Okay, we can go now…” Tina raised an eyebrow at Zee sudden approach towards Aom “What did you say to her? Why such secrecy?” she said sulkily

Zee smiled even more to see the sudden moodiness from Tina and shamelessly step one arm around Aom shoulders

Tina instantly frowned and practically pounced on Zee, who immediately let go Aom “Sorry! Sorry dude, don’t be so grumpy I was just trying to prove a theory to this lady” Zee instead arose and fled out of there, funny laughing about the situation

“Theory? What theory? Aom?” but she hadn’t said anything, just smiled at her with some odd reason and looking pleased as also went out of the room. Tina for the first time in her life was surprised by a person, although, when it was Aom, never know what to expect…

.

Taiwan, Taipei 101

Ah… breathe…

Exhaled, Inhaled… repeat; breathe again…

This wasn’t working. Stupid steps to remain calm, they weren’t working, Tina told herself

She heard Aom laugh about something Zee had said

Breathe… exhaled and inhaled…

Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she internally thanked for the distraction but the gratitude faded fast when she looked at the name of the call “Excuse me, I’ll take care of this” she stood up and walked to the balcony of the restaurant where no one could hear

She felt the words weren’t in her voice and the time didn’t ended as she wish “Say” responded seriously

“It’s been a while; I missed hearing your voice”

“Yes, it has been a long time…” was all she can said and Tina heard her soft laugh

“You seem nervous”

And couldn’t help but answer honestly “You make me nervous” the other voice sighed

“Talkative and gentle as always”

With her free hand Tina squeezed the railing of the balcony, reminding herself to be calm “No, it is called Cotillion training, but… why are you calling me? Do you need to tell me something important? Is something wrong?” Suddenly imminent concern she always had for her appeared

“Oh, you surely are my knight in shining armor, always worrying about me. But, it’s nothing like that… I am fine; I just wanted at least to hear you voice, because with you, all my troubles are completely disappear”

She didn’t sound to be fine “Mean…” Should she do something? Say something?

First she thought have imagined it but then, soft sobs increased, becoming deeper

“… I’m sorry, Tina. Nothing is wrong so, don’t worry about me. Just… I’m sorry…”

And she continued crying, just crying without saying anything

The times they spent together came to her mind.

....Their childhood together, innocent kisses, hugs and a pair of hands clasped of love among kids. They laughed together, and Tina also remembered always wait outside her classroom when school was ended. And yet…

As the story Aom read to her…

She knew, she lost her journey of stars

“Hey, why are you taking so long? suddenly she heard Aom saying as she arrived towards her

However; one thing was undeniable, everyone was wrong about her

She wasn’t a Prince, not a gentleman, even less a Knight in shining armor

How could they expect something so great about her when she was so numb?

“Hey! Who are you talking?” Aom asked with innocence and concerned to see her just watching her phone

So Tina decided to let it go… shut it away as she stop the call “No one, they hung the call” and Tina kept the phone in her pocket. She didn’t want more problems than she already had so she was going to live her life this way instead

“Okay, then let’s go” Aom turned around to go back but Tina held her wrist “what?”

“Don’t go back there, come on, and escape with me” She smiled at her

“But… what about Zee?”

“Well, she has to realize at some point” she shrugged “Come on! You’re going to love the place where we go, but I will not tell you until we get there, it’s a surprise, so… let’s go!” and without letting her to complain anymore, dragged her out of there

.

Taiwan, Kenting National Park

“I can’t believe you convinced me to come here” Aom said mesmerized watching all

Tina smiled “The beach is really great, isn’t it? I was reading a little when I was offered the job here, and then I knew Taiwan had a tropical paradise”

“Then let’s go for a walk by the seashore” Aom took her hand and lifted her up from the rock where they were sitting

“All right, calm down… such hyperactive girl” she murmured when she was pulled by the arm

They continued walking all afternoon on the beach, laughing and playing jokes until eventually jump into the water. Although after they had to stay in a Resort where Tina carried in her arms to Aom “My poor and tired girlfriend, are you doing this for women to stop looking at me? Because if so, this isn’t working” replied as she stared how they look at her flirtatiously and others threw kisses to her

“No, I’m really tired, but stop looking at them or I will kill you” and Aom clung more to her neck

Tina took a deep breath trying to get quickly to their room “Okay princess here we are” she said as she closed the door

Aom was still hiding her face in Tina’s neck, with her eyes closed but refusing to sleep “Take me to bed” she said so soft that Tina couldn’t help but think about weird things, although trying to make herself understood that she would leave her sleep in the bed and she heard Aom groaning unhappy “...I don’t want to move, help me change my clothes” sentenced obstinately

What did she said? Tina thought, Oh no…

Does anyone out there was testing her? Or just want to with such hilarious situations

“Think of something else, you’re changing a mannequin, touching a wall…” she convinced herself in a lower voice

“At whom you are calling mannequin? And for you I am a wall?” Aom said annoyed, Oh no… Tina hadn’t just though it, she had already said it

“Ah… “Tina cleared “If… if you’re so fine, you should change your clothes by yourself” and she heard her giggles

“Why? Are you shamed?” Aom for the first time

“No, but I’m giving you the choice to no let the wolf eat you, my little sheep” Tina smiled back at her

And now was Aom, who looked embarrassed, as the blush was covering her whole face “Such a erted Prince I have” she muttered “I will change my clothes in the bathroom!” and she ran away

“And what a cute sheep I have” Tina laughed as she shook her head and started to put on her own pajamas. Aom surely was too carefree and innocent to the point of being silly and she couldn’t help but take advantage of that

The bathroom door opened and from it came out a very cover Aom “Why the long and baggy clothes? Tina raised an eyebrow

“Because I wanted” and saw her going to bed

Tina sighed and reaches towards her “You don’t need that, it’s really hot here and you’re going to die if you keep being so stubborn… I’m your prince who will not do anything to harm my princess” again, Aom hugged her tightly, as always hiding her face on her chest

“I know that silly, but… it so embarrassing, isn’t as if I had done that kind of things with anyone before you” Tina heard her muttered and she blinked confused

Do what before with whom?

…

..

Ah…

Tina was shocked, understanding what she means and she looked at her, almost wanting her to say it was just a joke or that she hadn’t heard right, but nothing happened

Tina gulped heavy; oh… this was too much information for her weak and exhausted mind
