Chapter 35: Dyron x Star


Star and I were rushed through the rest of our bath and tried to prepare for our upcoming meeting. It was funny that neither group knew that they had planned the same thing. How awkward! Tyler had even decided to help out!

“Now Dyron, you’re familiar with Lamian customs, right?” he asked as we all dressed quickly.

I looked up as I was putting on a clean pair of shorts and hopped to keep from busting my a** on the floor. “Yeah, to a certain degree. But ask Anthony! He taught me!” I explained.

“Ah, then you know the procedure for asking a lady for a proper relationship, yes?”

“Not really. You know, good cousin?” I asked swiping my armpits with deodorant. I already smelled pretty good because of the water but it never hurt to add on. I then pulled a navy blue t-shirt over my head and smoothed my hair down, short as it was.

“Uh, sorta. Isn’t that the one like a marriage proposal with a little change in wording?” that was the correct answer; he just had a habit of answering in questions.

Hearing this, I waved them off saying, “Screw that then! I gotta do this my way. I’m not a Lamian. I’m a Neravee. Not only that, but an Anokuro! Anokuro men don’t use other people’s lines! Star needs an Anokuro!” I speech as we leave the changing room.

Meanwhile, the girls were all giggles and smiles. Thoughts of romance and elaborate pronouncements of undying, eternal, and unconditional love filled their minds. Star didn’t say much, but she was thinking the same thoughts drove through her mind as her heart pumped faster. “This is gonna be so cute! You and Dy will make such a great couple, Star!” Ashley kept saying.

“Yeah, Dyron seems like a great guy to be with! I’ll bet you two will be really happy together!” Curstan assured blow-drying her hair.

“I hope we will!” Star said. The more she thought about it, the more happy and nervous it made her, and the mean blush came across her cheeks again. What was she even going to say? She’d just decided to follow Dyron’s lead and if he failed, she was just going to take matters into her own hands, as flustered as she’d be.

Both of us were forced outside, after short bursts of cold feet came over us. I was practically being carried! The cool night air was refreshing compared to being in the steamy, humid bath house. Physically, I was refreshed, but my mind was going a mile a minute, making me feel tired. I was nervous as ever and I fought desperately to get my mind right.

“Dyron! Get over here, now!!” Ashley shouted as she spotted us walking back toward the hotel. They were just coming out of the door and they seemed happy to be outside again.

“This is it, Dy! Go for it dude! It’s all you!” Anthony whispered shoving me. I whipped around and gave him a piercing glare, but quickly returned to the task at hand. As I made my way toward the girls, they seemed to be giggling at me.

I stopped right in front of Ashley who was leading the group. Next to her was Curstan who waved at me with a big smile. Behind Curstan, Melissa stood next to the woman of my dreams.

Melissa nudged Star forward and the others stepped aside, putting her into full view. The she was so nervous, the others had to push her along, for she could barely move on her own. She saw me and hid the heavy blush that came across her soft chocolate skin.

My senses seemed hone in on her and only her. I could see nothing but her. Hear nothing but her shallow breathing. Before I knew it, I was holding her in my arms, her voice caressing my ears.

“Um…Dyron?” she asked looking up into my eyes.

“Yeah?”

“We’ve been really good friends for a pretty short time, you know,” she began. The words were caught in her throat, but the butterflies in her stomach were so numerous, she was forced to throw them up. “I want…I want for you to be my boyfriend!!”

“I want that too, Star! To be your boyfriend that is. ‘Cuz if I said what you said, then that’d be…well yeah…awkward,” I rambled.

Star giggled and pushed herself closer to my own and I could feel her heart racing faster than my own. I lifted her chin and we gazed into each other’s eyes once more before closing them, thus closing ourselves off from the world and sharing a passionate kiss. The taste of her lips on mine sent almost overwhelming waves of pleasure, satisfaction, and pure ecstasy through my entire being.

Our lips parted, returning us to the rest of the world. Our friends cheered, hooted, and hollered at the top of their lungs in order to congratulate us. A new alliance had been formed.
