Does this mean forever, or just tonight?~[Valo]

Nai’a glanced over at Valo when he moved, seeing his facial expression change from one of satisfaction to that of a serious pleading man. It seemed the man was about to cry, though he held it back. Nai’a was confused, not understanding how her question could evoke such an emotion from the scarlet haired man. His eyes looked to be like gleaming emeralds and they made her soul ache for him. She had a weak spot for this man, and she felt like he was exploiting that weakness, as if he somehow knew.

His words seemed to fuel her temper slightly, her calm exterior began to shake and slightly crumble, rage danced in her eyes, but only for a brief moment before she inhaled a deep breath and calmed herself, and she looked into those pleading eyes of his and spoke her heart, ”I mean, what does this all mean for me and you Valo. Are we still just friends, or are we something more? Is this just a one-time thing, or is there more to come before us?” Nai’a cleared her throat, slightly flustered she had to explain herself to this man, but she continued on, ”I know that is a question that you may not want to hear, but I need to know. Do not spare me, please just be honest to me Valo,” Nai’a’s eyes this time turned into pleading ones, as she spoke the last word softly, ”Please.”


Nai'a was prepared for what ever he had to say, she had placed a guard upon her heart, expecting the worse so she would not be too hurt if he did indeed say the words she dreaded he would.

He was taken back as rage flared in her eyes. No doubt rage at him. For perhaps she realised already that within this prescience moment he would let her down substantially. That the gentlemanly shroud would be uncovered and beneath she would find a man no better than others. A man who had no exquisitely pure morality, for it seemed that morality it self was subjective to him. A man who was weak and perhaps cowardly at his very core. That man was precisely what Valo was. For beneath that meticulously crafted persona of his lay a fool who was so very susceptible to the charm of a woman. That rage in her eyes stopped his breath and hacked away at him, for in all honesty it was not his intention to hurt her. But hurt her he must.

She didn't really have to spell it out for him, for even the fool knew precisely what she had meant. He wished to tell here there was more to become of them. He wished to announce his love for her, deep and passionate, much like the intimacy of their encounter. He wished to lay her down on a bed of roses and kiss her and adore her like a woman of her nature should be adored. But if he was to do that, than he'd be a dishonest man. A profoundly dishonest liar of a man and that was precisely what he begged him not to be. For perhaps there one day could be, perhaps what future had in store of them was a deeply romantic relationship that would end in a marriage and children and the pair of them growing old in satisfaction of what their life had been. Perhaps they would develop a love so profound that even death could not tear them apart.

But what Nai'a was to him now, essentially, was a stranger. And despite this warm feeling inside his chest, that he had become so very fond of her in such short a time, the fact that he barely knew her dawned on the artist aggressively. Strangers is what they were and strangers they would remain until that was changed by interaction. Only then could the blooms of love entice them, only they could a true romance blossom. He was no rich man. Hark, he was not ready financially or mentally for such a commitment. Not when his mind was preoccupied with issues of a different magnitude, more earthly ones. Not when he had yet to reach such simple goals. Insufficient, is how he felt. Relishing in the prospect of perhaps a future relationship, he grew in the reckoning that indeed he was insufficient.

The artist pulled him self from the warmth of the bed, the warmth of her embrace and the joy which grew grey with the second. His head, buried in his palms. That scarlet shroud of hair now draped over him in surrender. And the emotional man he was, Valo took a moment to compose himself before speaking. A tremble of apprehension in his voice. Apprehension as to what would come of his words for honest is all he intended to be. And he faced her, maintaining a distance between them so that if she was to slap him he'd have the means of a swift escape, for that was precisely what she should have done.

It seems such an easy thing to do; to not sleep with another. How was it that he managed to fail so spectacularly? How, precisely?

"I..." he paused for a moment. Only a short moment in which he bit down on his lip, needing the sharp surge of pain to summon the courage as a prerequisite to those words of his. "I really don't know Nai'a."

Oh how she wanted to hear the sweet words of a man who cared about her, maybe loved her. But Nai’a knew that this would not be. For they only just met, and in reality (a place she was not fond of), it could not be so. She felt strongly for this man, with his exotic hair that seemed to set fire to his head when the sun hit it, the deep green of his eyes that reminded her of the dark greens that awaken in the land during spring. He was truly a beautiful man, inside and out. The cold hard truth is what she wanted to hear from those soft lips he had, it was hard to imagine such cruelties to ever come out of a mouth as sweet as his, but she needed it, she wanted it.

Nai’a let her emotions rule her this day, something she vowed she would never do again. Why did she get in bed with man she barely knew? She would never know the answer to this question. Mayhap it was because he was so kind and gentle towards her, something she was not use to receiving from a male. Mayhap this man captured her heart and she had yet to realize this. Whatever the reason to such a sinful act, Nai’a did regret acting on her emotions so soon, though she did not regret the act. No she regretted that there was going to be pain shared between them, a pain she never wanted to feel, or to make another feel. They had acted like young hormonal teens, with one thought on their minds, one need and want to be sated. Neither thinking nor relishing on the consequences that would surely ensue on such actions.

Nai’a was quickly dismissed these thoughts that plagued her, as his sweet voice stroked her ears, or so she thought sweet, when in reality it was like a sweet poison. “I really don’t know Nai’a”

She sat there, looking at the man, a look of coldness on her face. She could not help but curse him in her head, wondering how he did not know. She knew, he knew, why not vocalize it and make it true. She asked, no begged, for him to be honest and yet there he sat lying to her, like a coward. Nai’a inhaled a deep breath, banishing the anger that wanted to come out, and got up out of the bed. She just nodded her head and she put her clothes back on slowly. After about ten chimes, she faced the beautiful man sitting before her, a mist of tears that so wanted to escape in her eyes.

”All I asked was for you to be honest, since that was so hard for you to do, I will do it for you. This meant nothing. Nothing at all. It was the actions of two individuals who stupidly acted upon emotions that they felt towards the other. A warmth to be shared on a cold night, that was all it is and all it will ever be.” Nai’a cleared her throat, swallowing the lump that had formed from holding back her tears. ”I think it is best that I leave now. No reason to cause one another anymore pain then we should. I hope that… In the near future… We can possibly still be friends… Even if that is all it is, and even if that is not what I want, I would rather have you in my life, then not at all.”

After her rather long ramble, she bit her bottom lip and gave a quick nod of her head and turned to leave, she walked slowly to the door, looked back at Valo and gave a small sad smile. She quickly opened the door and shut it behind her, pressing her back up against it as the tears began to fall, the sob shaking her body. She wanted to fall to the ground in a weak pile, as her knees seemed to be weak, not wanting to hold her up, but she just leaned up against the door letting herself have a good cry before she tried to walk, walk away from this night, leaving it all behind.
