Bab 30: On a walk
*****
Today I just couldn't concentrate on my class. My tutor has been pointing out how I am spacing out continuously till the class ended. But who could blame me. I mean I just can't get it out of my mind. The moment we had last night was the first ever. Although it wasn't much but it made me feel that maybe he does sees me like a woman..I guess,and not just a girl.
I reached the new private training ground room specifically organized for me. Honestly I don't know what this demon council want from me. Do they expect me to suddenly turn into Jackie Shan in what two freaking days of training.
I entered the darkly lite spaced room slightly nervous.
Lust is not present today. Only that sleepy council man and Austin sitting relaxed with his legs spread out on a chair in the corner and eyes trained on me.
"Ummm...so who is going to train me today?" My voice echoed in the room. Making me grimace on how loud I sounded.
"Austin." Elder fluke walked calmly towards me . He looked serious today as he tucked his arms under his armpit and regarded me with that piercing gaze of his.
"What? You must be kidding me!.. What about Lust? I prefer him to this man whore who wouldn't waste a moment to put his hands on me" The last part I mumbled under my breath.
"Lust is a prince and has duties and won't be taking part in your trainings anymore. Now let's begin!" Elder fluke commanded leaving no room for disapproval. He walked towards the end of the room and sat down on a seat crossing his legs.
My mouth suddenly became bitter. I felt so sour and angry inside. The man practical just commanded me?! No one ever commands me!
"Relax. I won't touch you unless you ask me to"
Austin stood in front of me with his hands tucked in his pocket. His white shirt had two buttons open and his jeans looked pretty low on his waistline.
He literally looks like a man from a strip club but without the strip and more of tease. If you know what I mean.
I scoffed" Me? Ask you to touch me? Not in this life time!"
He chuckled looking amused as if I said something funny.
"We shall see princess"
He would be sick if he thinks I am ever going to ask him to touch me. Who does he think he is, an irresistible Lord?!
"Be serious Austin!"The stern voice of Elder fluke reached our ears making me jump a little.
"Okay...chill" Austin replied smirking at the poor infuriating man.
When he turned his gaze to me, it was like i saw another person all together. He looked so serious.
He moved around the room with an air of seriousness and confidence.
"Today I am going to teach you how to teleport"
Finally! Something I actually need to know!
"Teleporting is all about three things" he spoke halting in front of me. His eyes stuck on mine making his every word sink in.
"The mind.."
He took a step closer to me.
"The location..."
He trailed his finger on my exposed arm making me shiver. I couldn't look away from his eyes. It's like I was stuck.
"And power..." He spoke in a dark sultry voice. I could feel how tense the atmosphere became. With my heart pumping eractically and with him looking at me that way. A way...I just couldn't explain.
Just like a spell, he snapped out of it and took a step back from me.
"Now are you ready?" He asked
"Yes"
"We are gonna take it easy cause you are new at this."He spoke softly.
I nodded bracing myself for what's gonna happen next.
"Close your eyes"
I did as instructed.
"Don't open them no matter what okay?"
I felt his breath on the back of my ear. How did he get there so fast? I didn't even hear his footstep.
"O-okay"
He trailed his hands on my arms and held me gently.
"Calm your breathing" he whispered to me.
I didn't even notice that I have been breathing really heavily. Well it's not easy being calm with someone breathing close to your ear and his hands trailing on your arm.
And he said I would ask him to touch me. I scoffed in my mind amused at the outcome.
I took in a deep breath trying to calm myself.
"Now think of a place you want to go. Think of an environment you are most familiar with or have been before. Try to imagine it clearly in your head. You are going to feel like everything around you is windy and picking up speed. Still remain calm and focus your energy on that location."
I tried thinking of a place. His hands calming me down. I tried and tried but I just couldn't get it.
"You are trying too hard. Try to forget your environment and focus on that place. Let it happen freely"
I took his advice and tried again. In my mind's eye, I pictured the garden and tried calming my breathing down. I could feel the tingly sensation on my skin like a rush of air.
"Open your eyes princess" he whispered in my ears.
I shook my head refusing. What if I failed? I would be so disappointed. For the first time I tried so hard. I don't want to be disappointed .
"Just trust me and open your eyes" He said softly.
I opened my eyes slowly. The sight took my breath away. We stood in the middle of the garden, surrounded by the flowers with the soft breeze on my skin which surprising I am just noticing now.
Does this mean I did it? I really did it? How?
"Yes you did princess. You teleported"
I didn't know I said that out loud. But hearing his confirmation that I am not dreaming made me so estatic. I was bubbling with happiness inside.
I really did it!
I turned around and gave him a hug. He was stiff in my arms. I didn't care if he returned the hug. Cause for the first time, I am so happy and proud of myself.
"Thank you. Thank you so much" I smiled at him.
His eyes rounded in shock, making me smile some more.
I guess I wouldn't mind him teaching me then.
He cleared his throat and pulled me away from his arms, taking a step back.
He awkwardly scratched his head not meeting my eyes.
Is he shy or something? Who is this and what did he do to Austin?!
"I didn't really do anything, it was all you, I guess,I helped show you how" He replied.
I took his hand in mine trying to express how much this means to me. It shows that I can actually do this and maybe this training isn't a waste then.
"Still...thank you" I smiled slightly, moving away about to head back into the castle.
"Mind taking a walk in the woods.....with me?" He asked.
I halted on my steps and turned back to him stunned. Now I am the one surprised.
"That's if you want to.."
He looked so awkward with his hands in his pocket and his leg making circles on the ground. Any one who sees him right now would be blown away.
"Is the infamous playboy nervous on asking a girl out?" I crossed my arms teasing him.
"Don't push it. A-and I'm not asking you out but on a walk"
He briskly walked towards the direction of the woods fast.
"He's definitely shy"
I chuckled under my breath and ran to catch up with him.
"Slow down!" I yelled but he kept walking fast as if he was trying to get rid of me.
"Not my fault you have got short legs" He shrugged still walking ahead.
'asshole'
"Hey!! I definitely don't have short legs! And remember you asked me out on a walk not a run. Slow down!" I held my knees trying to catch my breath.
I looked up and saw he was walking much slower now . A smile spread out on my face as I ran and caught up with him.
Finally,we walked side by side in silence. Normally I am not one to be comfortable in silence but this time, this was a silence I was very comfortable with.
The breeze blew as we were surrounded by greenery. The woods looked so breathtaking and refreshing.
"Tell me a bit about you princess"
I looked up at him surprised. No one has ever cared to ask me anything about me. Has Lust even ever? I can't seem to remember.
Why the hell am I trying to compare them?
Lust is definitely so much better than Austin. Austin is all about the fun in life but Lust is about commitment. I think.
But the person I am seeing now, is so different from the usual Austin.
Is that bad or good?
