Caltan

A True Show

Sano's warm hand, his smell, his piercing eyes, all of it sent me into a world filled of desire. Before I realised it, my lips were caressing his. His hand moved from my cheek to my back just above my waist, pulling me back in for more. He laid me down upon the cot, hovering above me lust clear in his eyes, he kissed me again and again and again. My mind is blank, my breath heavy and all the while Sano is tormenting my body in what was a morning filled with us intertwined with each other.

He clothed himself back into his brightly colored silk and turned to look at me as I dressed my self as well. I looked at him, his gorgeous black curly hair now disheveled, his silk robes wrinkled. I walked to the mirror grabbed my comb and started untangling my hair so I could put it in a pony tail. Sano leaned into my back side, his head resting on my shoulder, his hands wrapped around my waist.  Sano sighed.

"So what does this mean for us?"

Sano's question surprised me. He could tell that I didn't have an answer for him. I lowered my eyes and looked at the floor, which only seemed to piss him off more. He backed away from me, his hands now gripping the bed frame.

"You told me the day we met that I was basically your slave so I don't understand why you are so confused about this."

My words seemed to cut him deeply as he simply left the room without saying anything. I walked down the corridor directly to the left of my room. I stopped when I hear Sano's voice coming from an open room.

" The plan is going as expected, I have found a challenger for the champion and I believe she will take Caltan's fights to the next level."

I peered in the room to see Sano sitting at the edge of his desk, phone in one hand and the other arm around the waist of this simpleminded, skinny, big boobed, brunette. My heart sank into a pit inside my stomach but what exactly should I expect, he's a royal and it's not like we are together or anything.  I noticed an air duct above me. Grabbed hold of the wall and hoisted myself up far enough to pop the grate open and crawled in. I crawled to the room Sano was in.

He was off the phone and now standing in front of the lady, he leaned into her slowly with his hands on both sides of her and proceeded to kiss her neck I left the duct as quickly as I got in it upon my way out I could hear her voice cry out for him. An hour later he was standing at my door frame. I turned from the windowsill to look at him.

"Why didn't you show up to practice?" The anger clear in his voice.

"Because I don't fight for men who sleep with me then go to another woman an hour later."

His face turned white as if he had seen a ghost.  I walked to the door and slammed it shut. He stood there for a moment before leaving.  He didn't come back till the next night. When he walked through the door his head hung low he was obviously hurting. I glared at him as he shuffled his way through the room and straight to the window. He stood there for a moment, his black curly hair swayed in the wind. I hate admitting it but I'm mesmerised by him. He sighed and then looked at me, the look on his face was heartbreakingly beautiful, but his eyes were colder then ice. I turned away from him , I was feeling ashamed of my recent behavior. This wasn't like me, he walked to me now pinning me between him and the bed frame.

"You don't have to look at me because as soon as i say this I am going to leave to go get the ring ready for tomorrow."

He paused and for a few minutes we just stood there in silence until he was ready to talk. Sighing again he began his lecture.

" When you were first brought into Caltan the second I laid my eyes on you I knew that you were special. The way you carried yourself, you were so confident and strong that is why I chose you to fight for me. It wasn't to boost my ego, and yes I know that is how you perceive me. I have been patient with you and your attitude but this behavior I will NOT accept. This isn't a game to me and neither are you. I didn't expect to fall in love with you and I most certainly don't expect to be treated this way. You have every right to be mad for what I have done but you have no right to throw your life away not now and not ever."

I wanted to argue back but I couldn't think of what to say to him that would make this situation better so I bit my lip, held back my tears and just nodded. He grabbed my arms just below my shoulders and then gently kissed my forehead afterward he proceeded to exit the room shutting the door on his way out. My heart hurt. But I couldn't let myself cry. He said he was in love with me but am I in love with him?  All I know is that it hurts to be near him but it hurts more to be away from him. I need help, these are questions that I can not answer mostly because I don't know what I'm doing anymore. My head is fuzzy and confused. Maybe I should reach out to my uncle perhaps he can help me sort this out. Morning came quicker then expected. I was woken abruptly with the sound of chiming bells. It was time. Everything is on the line. I grabbed my cloak and made my way to the fighting ring. As I walked my head seemed to clear, the fog was gone, and every step I took after was a step toward winning this and proving to my family that I am just as strong as they are!
