Elyse heard the shower turn off and Nox’s footsteps down the hall. Reflexively she looked down. Her nerves were taking over. Elyse had told Nox that she would share her secret, but it was still a new idea for her. Nox’s footsteps came closer and stopped right in front of her. She felt a finger under her chin and she tensed a bit, but looked up.
Nox grinned at her and said, "That's some secret you got there."
Elyse almost smiled at that, but before she could, Nox placed a kiss on her lips. Her lips did curl into a smile at that and she placed a hand on his shoulder. The kiss was quick, but her hand lingered as they finished. As Nox pulled away, he told her to go clean up. She smiled at him. ”I’ll be back soon.”
She went first to her room and got some new clothes. A fresh pair of jeans and a light blue button up blouse. She grabbed a towel and headed into the shower. At first she just let the water run over her, feeling the grime wash away from her. She soaped up and cleaned the knots out of her hair. Stepping out, she felt a lot better. She dressed and gave herself a look in the mirror, once more smiling at the golden eyes. Nox had liked them.
Elyse left the bathroom and headed back to the kitchen where Nox was working on dinner. She had smelled the chicken down the hall. ”It’s smells wonderful,”
she said with a knowing smile on her face.
Despite wanting to hold Nox, she only leaned against the counter again. She didn’t want to disturb the chef, but at least she was close.
