Jaakuna couldn’t hear anything she was saying. He was away, not in the present. Only thing he could hear was the faint whispers. He didn’t know where they were coming from. He couldn’t feel where they were coming from. Jaakuna was just so lost in himself, much like Emiri was that one time when they were arrested by Wesley before all of this began. He was remembering back all of this before he met Emiri, before he made all of his friends. His mind was going back to the place before anyone he would dare meet would be brought into his world of crazy. Jaakuna was remembering to a time when he didn’t have to be the reason his friends and loved ones would be in danger of losing their lives. And then he felt it. Jaakuna’s face was slapped as hard as Emiri could do it and he snapped out of it. He saw her hovering above him. He saw her face, her eyes, and how she was so worried about him. Jaakuna didn’t understand. Did something happen? The last thing he remembers was her telling him that Vincent had her as his guest. And then, here he was, looking at her as she did the same, but all worried like. [b]“What happened?”[/b] He asked, grasping his cheek and he it tingled. It felt like someone sucker punched him hard. Jaakuna was a little confused on what just happened. ----- They were close, they were super close. Yes, they were so close that their bodies were touching, faces were mere inches away from each other and both could hear each others hearts. Both hearts were beating fast and surprisingly, in sync with one another. Wesley was taking the charge and as Nadeline would whisper to him, he smiled at her, not before taking her hand around his face and kissing him lightly. The kiss was magical, it was wonderful, and it would get deeper. Well, not at first at least. Wesley would return the favor of him kissing her. It started as pecks, but then it would grow into something more deeper, more passionate. Wesley would embrace her as he would throw all of his emotions into this kiss. He would gently, but with confidence and boldness, lift her up by gripping her waist and hoist her onto the counter and all the while still kissing her. However, now the kiss upgraded into a make-out session. ----- As Grant would answer Savayna’s question, she didn’t expect it. Even more so, she didn’t expect that he would be so open about how he felt — or rather how he thought he felt — about Emiri. He would reveal that when his mother died from her illness and when his brother killed his father, Grant was losing control of his life. At this point, Savayna gasped as she couldn’t believe it. As he would reveal other tidbits, she put it together. Why he was so cruel to them all before? Why he pursued Emiri so villainously ? It was cause he wanted to have control in his life and that’s why he did the things he did. Savayna felt that she and Grant were the same in that aspect, but she wasn’t as bad off as Grant was. Sure, losing her brother and not hearing from him for a long time did a lot against her, but it was the countless men she fucked through her teen years and just the abuse said men gave her that really sent her over the railing. Savayna just didn’t know that Grant was on a similar boat as she was. That’s when he would ask her a question about whether she still has feelings for Jaakuna. [b]“Oh dear..” [/b] She said nervously. She ran her hands up her thighs(they were at her knees beforehand), and as they neared her waist, she slowly clenched them into fists. [b]“That’s a very complicated answer.” [/b]She stated. [b]“It’s true that he and I, at one point, were married and in love, but I guess when he left Archadia after killing his father — he did it for me by the way, but that’s another story for another time — I realized that he really did care for me. Now, of course he loves Emiri now and I’m happy for him. I guess, there’s some part of me that still has feelings for him. Hell, I might always have feelings for him, as you will for Emiri, but just a day ago, I realized that my feelings for him are more of wishing him good luck in everything and not wanting to be with him.” [/b]She continued, [b]“I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I consider him one of my best friends and as you know, best friends simply don’t cross that line.”[/b] She laughed, [b]“So, I guess to answer your question, yes I still have feelings for him, but none of them are romantic or sexual. It‘s more friendship than anything else” [/b]She admitted. Savayna would lean forward a bit. [b]“I got one for you now.”[/b] She said, [b]“Do you still think about the time you saw me in my bra and panties?”[/b] She asked, smirking quite flirtatiously.
