Alpha King of Water

A BATHE

ZARYA’S POV

I had a long conversation with Amari. I ignored Hali who was just telling lies to her. He even made up a story about where we met. He was making my blood boil. He told her, we met at the edge of the world when I was about to suicide because of my family’s death.

He is not just a king of assholes. He is also the king of liars.

“How are you?” I grabbed Amari’s hand. She lost weight. During our high school days, she was one of the funniest women I had ever met. Now, it seemed like the world was on her shoulder.

“Surviving. How about you?” She pinched my hand. A small sad smile was formed on her lips.

“Surviving.” We both chuckled. It was hard to start my story with her. She was human and even if I tell, she would not understand therefore I decided not to say the truth. It was better that she had no knowledge about me. This would just be a short conversation. After this, I would say goodbye. She should not be included in my messy world. She would be harmed just like what happened to Hali’s friends.

“When I last talk to Serenity, she was still looking for you. She didn’t stop because she believed you were alive.” I could not wipe the tears rolling to Amari’s cheek. Her pain was radiating into my cheek. It doubled for me.

“I’m sorry. It’s just things that I can’t explain.” I was pulling back the tears condensing into the corner of my eyes. Hali would be mad at me when he saw me crying again. I should be brave in any aspect. That was how he molded me, a fighter, not the old Zarya.

“It’s all finished. I assure you… Serenity is now happy because I see you.” Amari hugged me for the second time. “I missed you so bad, Bitch.”

I chuckled a bit and then responded. “I missed you, too, Bitch.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

She blew a sigh before she looked at her wristwatch. “I’ll see you again. My schedule is tied up now. You know, chasing cocks…” She chuckled playfully even though her eyes were crying. “Chasing a dream. I hope you are, too.”

I embraced her so tight. I did not know how many times we hugged each other. It was just I missed her so much. I tapped her back and whispered. “Good luck.”

“Good luck with your marriage.” She responded back. “He is so handsome and hot. Did he has a big cock?”

I had a genuine laugh when I heard her joke. She was like Froy. Her mouth was dirty. After a long goodbye, she finally let me. I could feel the sadness covering my chest. It would be long to see her again or if not lucky, I would not see her once more. She should live in peace.

“Seems like you need warming dick?”

I glared at Hali when I heard him talking. I pulled back the tears that almost going down my cheek. I was startled when Hali changed her seat, he went beside me and hugged me so tight. “You can cry. Just for now.”

I burst out in so much crying. I could not imagine that I would not be with Serenity again. She was one of the best friends that I had. I could not even go to her funeral. I shut my eyes to remember the days with her.

“Zarya! I got boys! Wanna date one of them? Let’s go!” She put makeup on my face. For others, they were a bad influence, but for me, my Human World would never be colorful without them.

There were times, the professors shouted at us and told us to go out because we were sending a flying kiss to the men outside. Just like typical teenagers, playing with others, having fun, drinking, meeting people, and other stupid things. I remembered the night we had a fight with other bitches, the cops brought us at the prisoner. Instead of being feared, we had a great time in the cell, laughing, and telling stories. Storytelling how the make organ of the men looked like. I did not see one, even though I met a lot of boys, I was afraid of having an intimate scene in bed. I wanted one man to touch and owned me. Sad to say, I gave it to Hali because of the agreement.

Anyway, it does not mean I am not pure. One day, I will meet the love of my life. I will give the world to him. If I am lucky, if not, I will die without having a child or loving a man. That is life. I will not wonder.

Hali sympathized with me. He brought me for a walk in the amusement park. We did not try the rides, we just walked back and forth at the circle of the ferries wheel. He told me that we would try that sometime when we had money. I was not aware that he only had a few dollars. He sold his gold ring and was trying to manage the penny. He would not ask for money from Froy, Khal, or his brother Zephyrus. His ride was too high to be reached.

I did not say anything when we were just staring at the ferries wheel. “We’ll come back again, right?”

“Hmm.” Hali’s eyes were on the Ferris wheel, too. I could hear the loud shout of people riding on it. I stared at Hali’s side view features. Everyone told me he was one of the nice-looking men living on earth. They were right even if he was annoying.

Somehow, I appreciate his presence. When I was alone, he was next to me. When I was crying, he was also here. He was not that bad at all.

“Does staring at me makes you wet?”

I chuckled in disbelief. “What are you talking about?”

He had a small grin on his lips. “You stare as if you want to kiss me.”

“In your dreams.” I rolled my eyes. The truth… there was an urge, but I would not try that on Hali. His head would get bigger. He did not deserve a gentle kiss. “I wonder…” I sat on the bench near the popcorn chart. “If life is without pain, will it call life?”

Hali moved his eyebrow up. “You’re asking nonsense.”

I gazed at the twinkling stars. We move out of the hospital at noontime, but we were now staring at the dark sky, meaning almost half of the day, we accompanied each other. It was a miracle that I stayed long on his side without being annoyed.

A moment of silence before he talked. “No.”

“Huh?” I could not understand why he said ‘no’.

“No, life will never be called life without pain. It has no thrill in absence of grief, sorrow, or sadness. Things afterward make us bored. If no shifting of feeling, will it be challenging?” He shrugged his shoulder. “Pain gives us a lesson. Take it to be strong, not to be weak. You have a long way to run before you reach your goal.”

“I hope you always have a sense when talking.”

He turned his back on me without responding. “Come on move your ass. We’ll freaking go home.”

I had no doubt of following him. I wrapped my hand around his lower arm. “Did your nose bleed today?”

“Your hole will bleed when I fuck you.”

I hit his shoulder. “You are a pervert!”

Hali chuckled handsomely, He leaned his rights arm on my shoulder. “Kidding.” He kissed me on my forehead. “It won’t bleed as long as Sera is here.” He answered my question well.

Wait. Did he kiss me on my forehead? It took me so long to absorb his gesture. I tried not to think about that. Perhaps he was unaware that he did that.

When we reached my apartment. I headed to the bathroom to clean my body. I removed my clothes and let them drop to my feet. I slowly walked to the shower area and opened the faucet. I felt the water falling into my whole body.

Another tiring day, tomorrow, I would be in charge t the office. I should mind that tomorrow. I grabbed the soap. In a circular motion, I was cleaning inch by inch of my skin. I massaged it on my face. Accidentally, the soap slipped into my hand. I bent down to look for it. I could not see it due to the bubbles scattering my face.

I was surprised when someone grabbed my hand and placed the soap. “Want help?”

“Hali?” I immediately wet my face to remove the bubbles. I glared at him when I viewed him naked in front of me. “I’m bathing. Go outside.”

“I will take a bath either. Won’t mind if I join?” He gradually moved towards me. He settled his hands on my curves.
