Undine part III - Dalliance

Who could have known we ended up seeing each other every night? well not really really every night, there were days Lawrence had to go to another kingdom to do something. I didn't really know his job actually, all I know that he's a knight. He ever told me about some wars, but I knew there hadn't been any recently, so I guessed he's just delivering message to the other kingdom, or maybe buying things for the king.

It's not that I'm materialistic,but I loved it so much whenever he brought me gifts from the other place. He ever bought me a necklace which pendant was a white heart swirled with green strings. It was made out of diamonds and gemstones. lovely isn't it? He said that the heart was mine and he was the green strings which looked like mint who would always keep my day freshened.

He ever gave me a piece of white flower which smelled lovely, he asked me whether I knew that flower or not and unfortunately I didn't know what it was although it looked tremendously beautiful. he told me to asked the dryad and I did exactly as he said and guess what, my friend Khelrish,the super attractive dryad jumped when she saw that flower.

I wondered why and she told me that the flower's name is arbutus ( as known as arbutis ) people wouldn't be able to look for it, in the flower shops, in the fields, anywhere. As some said that flower was a sacred one, kept and bloomed in the Persephone's garden. And only people who was completely in love would be given the chance to have one. And unless he gave it to the one he really love, the flower shall die. Did that mean he's really in love with me? From that story, who wouldn't fall for him? My heart melted and I couldn't stop smiling all day long.

Although he gave me all of those beautiful gifts, still, they hardly covered my pain of missing him, every time he went to those other kingdoms, it would take 3 until 4 days. And it always made me sad for not seeing him for days. The feelings i couldn't bear, missing him, wanting him, needing him, sometimes those gifts weren't worth enough.

Okay, enough with the gifts. I just love being with him. He could give me those warmth affection, feeling of being completely secure, the feeling of being needed, he gave me all of those feelings a girl would need. He was my drug, my addictive heroine, my dope who made my day, the esctasy which gave me spirit. He was the sweetest thing in the world that I ever got, he was the sun in my bright sky, my sweetest dream which made me want to sleep all the time, my water in my ocean, the wind which I used to breathe, the soul in my empty body, the lyrics in my song, the incubus in my nightmare, my thunder when my whole world is raining, my shining star in the deep dark sky, he was my everything.

It was another night we spent together. He had just came back from those unknown kingdom or what so ever they called it, I'd been wanting him for days, he came with a bouquet of white roses and of course Peter is with him. Sometimes i missed that blithering horse, sometimes i thanked him too remembering unless he didn't lick me, Lawrence and I wouldn't be together right now.

Lawrence started our night by telling his journey, he said there were lots of gypsies there. Jokers, jugglers and et cetera. Well it sounded nice, and he said, in the last kingdom, there were a garden of labyrinth. The king made a competition, the first one who could get out of that labyrinth will be given a luxurious prize, a prize which the king got from Shiva, the goddess of ice.

Lawrence entered it and it was hell of a competition. Lawrence said that the labyrinth was really tricky, you know, he got lost for a few times, not few, lots of times. If you took a wrong step, you will start from the beginning again. And of course, as you all have guessed, he won! He got out of that amusing labyrinth after 2 days being stuck in it.Well I asked him what the prize was and he wouldn't answer. There he goes, playing secrets again. But I didn't really care as long as he's with me now.

Twilight had passed hours ago, the stars sprinkled the sky with their sparkling light. A cloudless bright sky, the wind chilled slowly, the candles were getting dim and it was a romantic night. He sang a song, love song, and he read me a poem. And he whispered me something "If your heart was a house, I'd be home. And if my house was a compass, you'd be north. I love you" I loved it. I loved his sweet words, I loved his poems, I loved his voice, I loved every little piece of him, I loved him. We kissed and as we did that, the sky was rained by lights, there were meteor shower. Lines of bright light glittering the sky, made the moment even more perfect. As the meteor was still raining,and I was still mesmerized by it. he took my hand and put something on my finger,when I realized a blue-topaz ring is on my finger, he whispered on my left ear,"will you marry me?"
