Chapter 211 - 209: Prelude To Their Second Date
Gracier woke up the next day evening. She was surprised to find Luna beside her bed.
''Big sister Luna? What are you doing here?"
Instead of answering Gracier's question, Luna flicked her forehead.
Ouch!
Gracier cried of pain, pouting she looked at Luna like a bullied child.
Luna couldn't help chuckle finding Gracier's gesture cute.
''What a silly question are you asking. Do I need a reason to look after my sister-in-law?" Luna said.
Gracier was lost of words, she stayed silent, however, inwardly she couldn't hide her happiness. It took her some time before saying,
''Thank you.''
''No need for a thanks. By the way, your big brother still sleeping. I think he will probably wake up in another hour or two.'' Luna said while petting Gracier.
''Big brother,'' Gracier muttered full of worries.
''Don't worry. He is fine, I have checked him myself. If you're still not convinced you can visit him after taking a shower and eating. I'll be leaving.'' Luna suggested before leaving Gracier room.
Gracier nodded her before proceeding toward the bathroom.
....
On the other side, Luna appeared inside Alex's room, the latter was sleeping in his bed.
Caressing his face for a moment, Luna said,
''I hope you will wake up soon, we are all worried. I'm worried. I miss you too much.''
After giving him a light kiss on the forehead, she decided to lay down next to him, to observe his sleeping face, however, it didn't take five minutes for her to fall asleep as she was really tired, she didn't sleep too much because she was looking after the siblings, she may have left this task to the maid to carry but she decided to do it. She is capable of taking care of her man and his sister.
Seeing how devoted she's, the maids and butlers were happy, some say she will make a good wife. Even Luna's faction was formed, their goal is to make Luna the first wife. She has the qualities of a good wife, gentle, virtuous. Know how to take care of his man and his family, also a good cook.
Unaware of what happening inside his villa, Alex sleeps for another half of an hour before waking up.
He yawned before feeling a weight on his left arm, looking over he was surprised to find Luna sleeping beside him, she was using his arm as a pillow.
A gentle smile found its way to his face, he knew she must look after him while he was in an unconscious state. He felt loved, warmth surged inside his heart. Gently he removed his arm while placing a pillow under her head and covered her body with the blanket.
He stopped a moment to look at his lover.
As he watches Luna sleeping contentedly with eyes filled with affection, he couldn't help but move away the few strands of hair overlapping her face behind her ears and give her a soft peck on the forehead while whispering sweet words.
''I love you, I will never let you go.''
As if she had heard Alex's words, Luna smiled before resuming her sleep.
A look of determination flashed through his eyes followed by a smile.
He went to take a bath before leaving his room, coincidentally he meets his sister.
Gracier jumped in his chest.
''Big brother, I'm happy to see you.''
''I'm happy to see you two. Have you eaten?" Alex asked while carrying his sister behind his back.
While leaning against her brother broad back, Gracier answered,
''No, I haven't. I just came out of the bath. I decided to visit you first before eating.''
''I see. Let's go eat together then.''
''Where is Big sister Luna?'' Gracier asked as she didn't find Luna walking together with her brother.
''She is sleeping.'' He said.
''I see. Big I couldn't win against Damien.'' Gracier said.
''Don't worry, he is stronger than you to begin with. Next time you will do better.''
Not knowing the details of the match, Alex said trying to console his sister thinking maybe she lost.
Grinning Gracier dropped a bomb.
''I know Big brother. Next time I will beat him. This time it was a draw.''
Alex who was walking momentarily paused, like a robot he turned his head and asked,
''Can you repeat what you just said?"
Giggling Gracier recounted how her match went.
Alex swallowed hard, he was beyond surprised. Doesn't this mean if he is careless, he may lose?
He gulped once again. 'I need to train hard. My dignity as big brother is at stake here.'
While Alex was thinking he should keep training, Gracier was surprised by his silence therefore she asked.
''Big brother what's up?"
''Ah! Nothing. I'm just surprised at how strong my sister has become. It's great but you shouldn't slack off as they exist more strong opponents than Damien, stronger than me. One day we will stand at the top.''
Facing her brother's declaration, Gracier blood boiled, she declared in turn.
''Wherever brother goes I'll be there. If you stand at the top, I'll stand by you right. I'm your sister, after all, a proud Touch.''
''Very well. Your brother is happy with your answer.'' Alex said pleased.
The two went to eat before leaving for their rooms.
When Alex entered his room, Luna was still sleeping.
After taking a sit, Alex called out to Silveria. The latter appeared after a moment. She was yawning, she was dressed in lascivious négligé. Not knowing where to look as he could partially see her mature underwear, Alex said exasperated.
''Please wear something proper before we talk.''
Silveria chuckled before saying, ''I think we will need to postpone this talk because madam is waking up.''
''What?"
Silveria disappeared leaving Alex confused.
Shortly after she left, Luna woke up.
''Where I am?" She said while rubbing her eyes.
It took her something before behind aware of her surrounding.
''Alex?"
''I'm here Lû.'' Alex said before sitting next to her on the bed.
Smiling Luna said, ''It's good that you woke up. I missed you.''
She then gave him a light kiss on the lips and who Alex will be satisfied with just that? He caught hold of her and went for a french kiss.
After ten minutes, he stopped, Luna was gasping for breath, her ears reddened, her face flushed red, she was too shy to look at Alex in the face, her heart was beating like drums.
Seeing her current state, Alex almost lost control, fortunately, he managed to control himself in the end.
''Tell me what happened after I lost consciousness,'' Alex said, switching the subject.
Luna heaved a sigh before starting to recount what happened.
Alex wasn't surprised by the results as he had more or less guessed things would end up like that, well except for Gracier's and Damien's match.
Suddenly, Luna remembered something hence she asked.
''Alex can I look at your eyes?"
For a moment Alex felt troubled not because he couldn't show them but because he was afraid to harm her.
After a moment he decided to gamble, maybe he can control it. Taking a deep breath Alex removed his eye patch.
Luna was mesmerized at the momentary fear and pressure that assaulted her.
Caressing Alex's right cheek she said,
''Beautiful. You can put your eye patch back as I know how hard is for you to control it.''
She noticed Alex's struggle. Alex heaved a sigh before putting his eye patch back.
Suddenly, Luna kissed his cheek.
''What's that for?" He asked.
''Just now you look cute while doing your best to control your right eye,'' Luna responded.
Alex's lips twitched being called cute. Seeing this Luna giggled.
''Let's go on a date tomorrow.'' Alex suddenly said.
Luna was momentarily stunned as she had thought, Alex would use the two remaining days to train, none of his opponents are weak.
However, instead of training, Alex wants to invite her to go on a date. She couldn't be happier, which girl wouldn't be happy to spend some time with her lover? There is none. So, her answer was a sweet smile.
