The Emperor Who Loves Me Dearly

Chapter 26 - Part 1: Bathing in the lake

By the time that they returned to Ted's house in the forest, the sun is still at its peak. Returning home is far less traffic than going in downtown.

The last one that they should do today is to take a bath in the lake nearby before finally resting inside the house. Good thing that there is still sunlight when they arrived.

Ted is actually quite keen and diligent when it comes to building his own place. He ensures that everything in his secret lair has the basic necessities in case of an emergency.

He had always planned to build his second house near the lake so that in the event that electricity went off ( which he already knew happens even before deciding to build a small house in the woods) there will still be a way to take a bath and continue on his life.

This characteristic is what Celestia admired in her friend, even though he is not always in that house, he still makes sure that it will always be available for him, his sister and for her, Celestia.

"Hurry up slowpoke!" she shouted at the man in the back who is struggling to bypass the branches that hits his head.

"Da*n tree" he cursed silently, followed by another set of curses. Sweats started to fall down on his forehead down to his chin.

"No cursing muffin, I can hear you mumble!" the lady in front of him is now calling him muffin! Can it get any worse?

Muffins are for softies, he guessed, not knowing the real reason why Celestia decided to call him that.

After venting out Celestia's, 'pretend' anger at him on the bus, she started to turn the tables around by teasing him continuously. She's been calling him 'muffin' 'first-kiss stealer' 'lover boy' and other terms he could not comprehend. Certainly, he knows what a kiss is but he never heard the term 'lover boy'.

'Weird woman' he shakes his head with a small smile as he continues his bloody fight with the trees.

Now that he thinks about her weirdness, it's the part that he likes in her. Her quirkiness, her peculiar attitude, the way she moves and everything!

Every part of her...he likes, no stronger, but he cannot name it yet, this kind of feeling, surreal and intoxicating, he can't help but follow her like a lost puppy!

He is da*n sure he never felt this way heck, he knows his real self without those stupid memories, he knew his heart years for her presence. If that's even possible, as far as his knowledge serves him, a heart is just an organ used for pumping the blood throughout one's body.

However, when he kissed her earlier, he can't help but indulge to his d.e.s.i.r.es. His heart was filled in adrenaline, each second pounding harder than the last Her lips were soft and pinkish in color. It fits in his mouth like hers was meant to be for him.

He doesn't know what heaven feels like but at that he was sure, he felt heaven.

His only plan was to make the people inside believe that they were 'exclusive' for each other and it is no use to keep on nagging them to come, he decided not to be rude nor arrogant in front of Celestia yet he can't help it when he caught the other girl by reflexes trying to hurt the lady in his arms. He was livid.

After kissing her the second time, that's when the plan backfired.

Who would've thought that he will get addicted to such a trivial thing like kissing?

"We are here!" Celestia's excited voice woke him from his thoughts, they are indeed in front of a lake but what surprised him is that there is even a waterfall!

What a majestic sight!

Clear blue skies, fresh air, and the glistening water! You can see your own reflection on the lake's water that is connected to the falls.

The birds are humming and the sound of falling water are the things that can be heard, and you know what completes the scenery?

Celestia, taking off her wig, revealing her long golden-brown hair, everything in slow motion as she turns her head toward him, smiling and saying, "Beautiful right?"

'God, you rock my world Celestia'

He marveled at the sight for a few seconds before finally responding, "Indeed, it's priceless".

He is still in awe when he came up with something. This time, an evil thought entered his mind, he started running towards the target.

...

"Kyaaaaaaaaah!" Celestia shrieks. Birds flap their wings afraid of the sound that the princess produced.

She's wet from head to toe!

She may just kill a man right now specifically a man named Adam.
