Chapter Twenty-Three

For the next month it was like that we ate together, we would take walks together. We did have are alone time where I would be off with Kira or reading or in the markets. I became good friends with Kang-Lin and I would go to the market for groceries with her. Folken would spend his time in his study or once and a while he would leave town for business.

One day Folken was in Asturia to see the king; while he was there he was going through the market, when something caught his eye. It was a dress; it was dark purple and long. It had long sleeves with a slit on the sides of where the wrist would be.

"May I help you sir?"

"I was actually looking at the dark purple dress."

"Oh, that dress it's a beauty isn't it, brand new just got it yesterday."

"It certainly is. How much is it?"

"250."

It's quite a bit but oh well, she will love it. "I'll take it." Folken hands the merchant the money.

"A fine selection, if I may ask do you have a lady in mind for this beautiful dress?"

"Yes, I do."

"Of course you would. She must be a very special lady."

"That she is."

"Thank you sir, have a nice day."

"Thank you."

Folken took the wrapped dress and walked back to the stables where he put Kato. He mounted the horse, and went back to his Kingdom.

The sun was setting and I was reading in my room when Folken returned. He put Kato in the stables and went straight to his room and placed the dress in his closet.

I knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Welcome back Folken."

"Thank you Hitomi."

I walk up to Folken and grabbed his hands. He was surprised that she didn't shudder at the touch of his mechanical hand, that she touched it freely.

"Dinner is ready Folken," and I pull him with me as I step back.

I hold on to his left hand as we walked to the dining room.

We entered the dining room and we sat down to a delightful dinner, having a well prepared meal and a glass of wine.

"How was your trip to Asturia?"

"It was good; I met with King Aston and shopped around the market."

"You shopped?"

"Well I was walking through the market and I saw something that caught my eye, it's in my room I can show you later."

"Alright."

We talked about many things during dinner. After dinner Folken was planning to surprise me with the dress.

We got up from the table and Folken offered his arm so we walked arm and arm to Folken's room. We entered His room and closed the door. I sat on the edge of his bed.

"So what is this thing you bought that you wanted to show me?"

Folken opens his closet. "It's a gift, I hope you like it."

"A gift for me?"

"Close your eyes."

"Okay, my eyes are closed."

Folken took out the dress and carried it to Hitomi.

"You can open them."

I opened my eyes to see a beautiful dark purple dress. It looked like the dress from my vision so long ago.

"I hope you like it."

I take the dress in my arms. "Oh Folken I love it, thank you so much, you didn't have to." I hugged him.

"I know. I'm so relieved that you like it."

"Why? What's the occasion?" I put the dress on the chair so it wouldn't get wrinkled in my arms.

"No occasion. It's because…" Folken steps closer to me. "I love you Hitomi."

"Folken…" I look deep into his eyes, stepping even closer to him. "I love you too."

Folken wrapped his arms around me and I put my arms around his waist and he leaned in and we kissed. It was a long, deep, passionate kiss. He moved his hands up my back and placed them on my shoulder as we continued to kiss. He moved his hands back down as he left my mouth and trailed kisses down my neck.

"Folken…" I moaned. It felt so good.

Folken undid the back of my light pink dress and it fell to the floor. We made our way to the bed. He laid me down onto the covers lost in my jade eyes, removing the top half of his Zaibach robes. He was so muscular I ran my hands over his chest and over his shoulders bringing him closer to me and kissed him, running one of my hands through his long light blue hair.

~*~*~

I woke up in the arms of a naked Folken who was sound asleep. I moved closer to his muscular body and drifted back to sleep. Dreaming about what had taken place that night
