I paced up and down the office like a restless animal.
I found myself looking at the door every few seconds.

In the last three days I've had enough time to think about Diara and our special night.

I was happier that night than I had been in a long time.
This fairy gave me the support I needed now.

But what if she chose her boyfriend?
He could offer her everything her heart desired.
And me?
What could I offer her?

A pang pierced my heart as I realized that I might have lost my loved one to this man.

Stop!!

I couldn't think of anything like that just yet!
Especially not if I didn't know her answer.
I needed to know where I stood.

When the redeeming knock sounded, I remained in front of the window with my arms crossed behind me and slowly let my eyes wander out to the school garden.

"Yes, please?" It came from me.

My heart pounded as the door opened and the person entered.

I dismissed my thoughts with all my strength and turned over, knees weak.

There I saw Diara standing in her dark green morning robe.
Her black hair was braided elegantly around her head in a wreath.
I had to pull myself together not to open it to her. Because I wanted so much to feel her soft hair between my fingers.

As always, my eyes sought yours. When they hit me, a gentle electric shock shot through my body.

I started to swallow, caught in her gaze.

She seemed to feel the same way.
Because I could feel how aroused she was.

Until I knew her answer, I couldn't give in to my desire for her.
it would only hurt me if I turned out to be just a little fling to her.

So I took a deep breath and focused on why I had her summoned.

"How are you, Diara?" I wanted to know from her first and directed all my thoughts as best I could to our forthcoming conversation.

The addressee blinked in confusion and rubbed the bridge of her nose in embarrassment.
It looked so cute that I couldn't help but smile a little.
I raised an eyebrow in anticipation.
"I'm..chrm..I'm feeling a lot better." She said hesitantly and cleared her throat again.
"You wanted to speak to me? ' my crush got straight to the point.

I nodded.

,, Right. But before we talk about this topic, I want you to know one thing..." I replied seriously and carefully approached her and stopped less than a meter in front of her.

Again I lost myself in her eyes.
How long should we go on like this?

"Farah? What's going on?" Diara brought me back to the present with her husky voice.

I swallowed.
Because I had noticed that her pupils had dilated in the meantime.

I quickly shook my head to clear my thoughts.

,, Yeah, um. I really enjoyed our night together Diara. No.. even more than that...I loved it. I loved the time with you so much.", I started to talk and gave her a moment to let my words sink in.

When Diara motioned for me to continue, I took a deep breath.
I carefully grabbed both of her hands and encircled her fingers with mine.

"But.. it wasn't right of me to sleep with you. Not because I regret being one with you, because that would be a lie. it's just you were hurt and still weak enough to be master of your senses. You wouldn't even have been able to defend yourself if you were sane. How could I be so selfish and just force myself on you like that?
I'm terribly sorry dear. Please forgive me! I've been in love with you for so long...and losing you because of this night...would break my heart." The words came over me, tears falling down my cheeks.

It was true.
I was head over heels for my princess.
It was finally out.
I've carried my feelings for her around with me for far too long.

But what about my little star?

Did she feel the same as me?

I looked down ashamed when she still hadn't reacted.

Warm, soft fingers cupped my chin.
My heart started beating.

Xxxx

how do you think it could go on?
