Chapter 17: Necessary
"We will see’’ Elizabeth giggled and grabbed his pants.
Loid also grabbed his pants, stopping her from pulling them.
"w-wait a sec.,, it can manipulate you!," He said. "How can you trust an unknown ability, power..."
"Well, if you think that way, then we are all manipulated by nature, aren’t we?" Elizabeth didn’t let him go. "Like nature wants to live, so it gives us what is necessary to keep life moving like other animals... all we’re doing is just reacting to our circumstances, situations, hunger..."
"W-we can choose that reaction..’’ Loid interrupted her.
"Exactly," Elizabeth chuckled. "That’s what I’m doing"
"No, you are doing it because that skill shows the future; it’s different."
Elizabeth just looked at him; he was flustered, his thoughts were a mess, and yet he was still trying to be reasonable. But she knew what he really wanted. "You don’t want to have your first with me.’’ She asked with a low tone, sad expression, so she could bring his true feelings to the surface.
"I-I want to."
It was barely a mutter, but Elizabeth heard it. Oh, sweety, so easy. She grinned. " So what’s the problem?"
"Three girls outside, it’s complicated... It’s felt like cheating.’’
Elizabeth couldn’t help herself from smiling; he was adorable, with his adorable concerns.
"Nope, it’s not cheating at all,
it’s cheating when you’re doing it behind their back; now they’re ear-dropping so...,"
"What?!... they were listening...’’
"Thud!"
The door burst open. "Have some shame, Aunt Elizabeth. Look at his age and yours; he was even younger than your daughter.’’
"We didn’t lock the door!" Loid muttered.
"She would have broken it anyway.’’ Elizabeth chuckled at him, then looked at Lulica. "How rude, Lalica dear, if you want to join just say so."
" I want to, but no need for you to join, Auntie.’’ Lalica frowned.
"That’s so selfish of you, Lalica dear." Elizabeth stood up after removing her paws from his pants.
Loid also stood up; he thought he needed to make things clear.
"Okay let clear it up." He looked at Lalica into her dark eyes without shying away. "I’m sure you already know; all I have toward you guys is sexual attraction, nothing more. Now your turn to be honest about why you guys were clinging to me, and first-sight love that shit; I don’t believe it, so don’t try to fool me. I’m not some high school kid."
Elizabeth moved and sat on the bed, looking at you both youngsters with interest.
"I really love you," Lalica said calmly.
" I don’t believe you.’’
"I will prove it, " Lalica stepped closer.
He raised his arm, signaling her to stop there "How so?" He asked when she stopped just an inch from his hand.
"Let’s have sex?" Lalica said
"Sex not going to prove anything; all it was you guys attracted to me as I to you guys,’’
"Then how would I prove you.’’
"How would I know? It’s not like I ever loved anyone; why do you want to prove anything to me?"
"Because. I LOVE YOU! ’’ She shouted.,
Starlet, he took a step back. "A-and I don’t understand your love!’’
No one loved me in my world. I know it’s all this looks that matter to her. She misunderstood. And what fuck even is love? Ahh! Who made this word... damn fantasy..
He sighed. "So what do you want from me, tell me clearly?"
"I want you,’’
"Explain?.’’
"I want you myself, only me. I don’t want to share; stay away from every other woman and man too.’’
"Okay, that’s called obsession, possessiveness, something lust, greed mix; no one wants to share. I understand this."
"Noo, don’t say it; why can’t you believe me? I really love you!", As she said. Her eyes welled up with tears.
"o..a!, okay. Don’t cry!" He waved his hand awkwardly, panicked. "I believe you!. ’’
He looked at Elizabeth for help. "Can’t you do something? You would have more wisdom probably," He muttered.
Elizabeth watched the whole drama with interest; she never saw anything this enjoyable in her life.
"Listen, Lalica, dear. I know you love him; we need to teach him slowly, show him our feelings, then he would develop feelings toward us like a child for mother."
"For me, not us!.."
"Very questionable example, and don’t compare me with a childhh!."
"Hahaha," Elizabeth just laughed.
Loid looked at her narrow eyes. "When did you pull me into the room? Didn’t you know how things play out?"
Well, it was necessary for making things smooth for later; I know how you think. You think you don’t love anyone or want to own anyone; they can do anything. It’s their life. Of course, your guilty desire aside, that you always push back." Then she looked at Lulica. "But she wants to own you; if she can, she would just lock you in her bedroom, not letting you be seen by anyone..., so it can’t be sorted out without argument; this talk was necessary, or things would be too slow."
