All Annora could do was stare at Scarlet as she felt soft lips on hers. It felt like it lasted forever, but before she could come to materialize a single complete thought, the witch had pulled away. As if be instinct, knowing exactly the type of thing that Annora enjoyed, she felt an arm around her stomach pulling her close. Then those words.. like drops of pure honey on her ears.. she couldn't control her body as her entire face turned bright red, biting her lip from the feeling of affection. She slowly looked up, eyes gazing at Scarlet through her white-colored bangs and just staring.

But this didn't feel like lust, it felt like true affection. Is this why she had been so confident about Annora's playful request? This was so confusing for Annora and the expression was painted across her face. Still, she couldn't deny that something in the way Scarlet handled the situation - it was like a dream come true.

You can't like me that much, can you?"[/color][/b] Even in her confusion and her determination to understand, her tone was still kept quiet and meek, almost like she was afraid to ask - but she [b]had[/b] to know.
