Gays and Dragons

Chapter 21 - A Night With Her

"Tell me, Carreon Maddison, how can you lead the army with what you know?" The king asked me while we are eating dinner at their long table.

There's a lot of food and everything here inside is so grand. It's something like we see in movies. There are lots of guards and servants around watching your every move.

"Umm… Truth to be told, Your Highness, I have no idea, but we promise to do our best to stop that dragon at all cost." I told the king honestly, and I can see Chrys and the princess nodding their heads.

The king also has doubts about our abilities. We're still so young and probably don't have any experience in a real battle, especially with dragons.

"I hold on to that, Heroes of Sadonia. I'm faithful enough to what the Bijo has predicted in the future. And tomorrow, I will give you permission to lead and command the warriors." He stated, and then, took a sip from his goblet.

"Uh, Your Highness, can I ask you something?" Chrys asked the king and we turned our heads to him.

Then, the king motioned him to continue and he inhaled deeply.

"What are the available weapons that we can use against that dragon?" He asked and the man seemed like thinking deeply.

Mel is sitting beside her father while quietly observing and keeps on agreeing on everything we say. Yes, we really need a supportive girlfriend, or is she my fiancee? I don't know.

"I will ask captain Malik to give you a tour of the palace and to show you what weapons we can utilize for this battle." He answered and we just nodded our heads in agreement.

---

The dinner went great, the food is so delicious and the wine is amazing.

Some servants of the palace lead us to our rooms. And, Chrys is staying in the room beside mine.

This is more than a five-star hotel room. The things here look so expensive and the bed is... damn, it's enormous. There are a bathroom and a balcony in which you can see the city and beyond. It's just so magnificent. I never dreamed that I could really stay in a palace.

---

I stepped inside the bathtub to let the warm water ease the tension that my body feels.

Then, my mind wonders if where could the princess' room be? I think it's better at the witches' house because I got the chance to sleep with Mel in one room. Here, she's like someone that you cannot easily approach because all eyes are on her. The king is a bit hard on her since she's his only family left. And, he's just concern about his daughter's safety while the servants are treating her like a goddess. Now, I understand why she wants to live a normal life like the rest of us. Having royal blood comes with lots and lots of responsibilities. Your every move is supervised and you can't do things that you want to do. Lonely. I get it now.

---

A knock on my door startled me as I dry my hair with a towel that they issued. And, I have asked the servants if I could wear some of the men's clothes because it's more comfortable than wearing ladies' dresses. You can barely run with those on.

I opened the door and a young girl is standing there holding something in her right hand.

"Uh, what can I do for you, little girl?" I asked her and she gave me a warm smile.

She handed me a rolled paper and she just left. I wonder if what is this.

'Left-wing, last door.' My eyebrows met out of confusion if what does this mean.

The handwriting is awful and I just don't get it. Left-wing? What's that? Is that little girl messing up with me?

I think I'm staring at the note for too long when my mind starts to wonder, maybe Chrys knows if what's this.

Then, I decided to knock on Chrys' door and hoping that he could give me an answer.

"What's up, b***h?" He greeted and I just showed him the note.

He got the same reaction as mine earlier and he looked at me confusedly.

"What's this?" He asked while examining the paper front and back.

"I'm supposed to ask you that, but I guess you don't have the idea too. Thanks for your time, Chrysa." I told him and snatched the paper from his hold.

He rolled his eyes, and as I'm about to walk back to my room, he asked me something.

"Who gave you that? The princess?" He asked and I shook my head.

"It's a little girl about the age of ten or twelve. And, I don't know what this means, I think it's some kind of direction or… this could be a direction in this palace. Right?" I stated and I think it really is a direction. How dumb am I?

Then, Chrys just shrugged and I thanked him as I went back to my room.

---

I followed the direction on the note and here I am standing in front of a double-doored room. This is the last door at the left part of the palace, and I have no idea if who summoned me to be here. But my mind is thinking about one person in particular. Mel.

Damn, I just can't help myself to smile whenever I think of her. Is this the effect of being in love?

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I guess it's already nine in the evening. Why didn't I wear my watch when we went on that field trip? If I just knew that this would be a trip a long way back in the past, I could have brought with me a phone or a pack of cigarettes. No, not a pack of cigarettes, a ream of cigarette. Damn, I really should stop smoking when I get back to my present time.

The door slowly opened and revealing an angel without wings. No, she's a goddess. And, a smile crept on my face as I got the sight of her.

So, she's the one who sent me this note. Alright, I take it back, the handwriting is awesome.

"Hi, Car! I'm glad that you didn't get lost." She greeted me and chuckled.

If you just knew that I don't have any freaking idea about what does this note means.

She's wearing a nightgown and she looks so hot right now. Oh s**t, stop thinking about these unnecessary things, Carrie.

"Well, lucky me, my feet lead me to be here," I stated and flashed her a proud smile.

She pulled me inside her room and she checked if there's someone in the hallways, then, she shut her door closed.

She walked in my direction slowly while smiling from ear-to-ear. What does she have in mind? I hope it's not what is running in my mind right now. But that would be great if it is. Oh jeez, just shut it.

Then, our lips met as her hands explored my back. I just miss her touch and scent.

She gently bit my lower lip that made me let out a soft moan. And, I looked into her beautiful light blue eyes and they're so happy.

She kissed my forehead and dragged me somewhere else while her right fingers are intertwined with my left ones as we stood in front of a painting.

Then, she placed her hands in the trunk of the tree painting and she pushed it.

I was surprised when the wall moved to reveal a secret passage. So, it's real in the movies that palaces have lots of secret doors? Wow, it's just wow.

She got something from the wall and I think it's a torch. And, I pulled out my lighter and lit it up.

We trailed down a stair and the only light we have is from the torch. It would be so scary if you're the only one who'd walk in here.

---

"Wow, Mel! It's so beautiful in here." I said in awe as we reached a place where there are lots of flowers and a swing under a small tree. It's like a secret garden.

She looked at me and smiled widely.

"I always go to this place whenever I want to be free from everything. This makes me feel safe and comfortable." She uttered and picked a flower.

We can see the surroundings a bit clear because of the moonlight. The place measures about fifty square meters and the wall is made up of vine plants with flowers. There are also lots of flowers in different colors on the ground.

Then, she went near me and tucked the flower on the side of my left ear.

"You're so beautiful." She uttered and held my left cheek gently.

She leaned in close and kissed me on the lips. And, I responded as my hands went their way to her waist.

Her lips started to move slowly and this feeling is just so perfect. I wish I could take you with me, Mel.

We stayed there for some time and talked about lots of things while we sat on the swing.

She keeps laughing as I tell her some of the jokes I knew from my time. And, she also shared about her experiences here being a princess. I can't get over when she said that the whole kingdom went searching for her a lot of times and knowing that she just stayed here for days. She has brought with her some food and slept here sometimes. No one really knows about this place except her late mother and brother.

And, I think it's already midnight when we decided to go back to the palace in her room.

---

"I had so much fun with you, Car. I wish we could always be like that." She said happily as she slumped on her king-sized bed.

I sat on the edge and stared at her. Me too, Mel. I wish we'd be together in the future.

"What's the matter, Car? Are you alright?" She asked as she sat up and went near me.

She must've sensed that I've been quiet and somewhat feel off. I just don't want to think that we won't be seeing each other anymore if I will go back to my time.

"I'm fine, Mel. I guess we need to rest now. Tomorrow's a big day." I told her and she pouted her lips.

She's just so cute. I want a taste of those lips again. Damn, I'm totally whipped.

She sighed and went out of her bed. And, I stood up and ready to go to my room.

"Okay, good night, Car, and sweet dreams." She uttered and kissed my forehead.

"Good night, Mel. I'll just see you tomorrow." I told her and she leads me to her door.

And, as she's about to open the door, she paused, then, looked back at me.

She stared at me for a while and I just gave her a confused look on my face.

She held both my shoulders, then, walked and made me walk backward.

Finally, we reached her bed and she pushed me gently that made me lying on my back and my eyes got wide when she climbed up and sat on my stomach.

A smile crept on my face as she trailed her right pointing finger from my forehead and to my lips while she's smiling wildly.

I'm breathing heavily as my heart beats at an incredible speed. And, she leaned in and our lips finally met.

She has been kissing me hungrily while pinning me to her bed. She's aggressive, isn't she? And, I like it.

My hands took control and untied her nightgown letting her perfect body show. And, she's biting her lower lip seductively and I just can't take it much longer.

I wrestled her and making her lie on the bed. And now, I'm on top of her while trailing kisses to her neck and down to her chest that made her moan in pleasure.
