I need plenty of jewels. Particularly violet colored ones.
Lion kept on pestering me about our date in which not only does he "gently" reminding me every now and then, to becoming moody at random times, sighing every now and then while giving me piteous glances, to pouting at me whenever I tried to embrace him.
At first, it was cute at seeing him needy for my attention. Then it became slightly annoying.
All my ideas doesn't seemed right to me and I'm feeling a bit stressed lately as I felt that I didn't do anything to contribute to the household.
I didn't tell Lion about this though.
Sly tried to cheer me up by giving me some sweet fruits in which I almost didn't eat because of its juices that kept on dripping on my chin when suddenly, my creative mind that was missing lately, came back with a blast.
Let's make candy!
Natural ones to be exact. But easy to eat everywhere since it won't be messy like the fruits.
Puma's offsprings would definitely love it.
I hugged Sly, who turned red, as I kept thanking him for giving me a wonderful idea. He just gave me a tender smile while looking at me.
....
If I can earn plenty of jewels, then I can buy a surprise gift for Lion and to everyone also.
Also, Lion and I can finally have that blasted date.
With Ghost's help, we made a huge assortment of different flavored candies with interesting shapes. Lion seemed moody on making us the candy making machine so Orm helped out instead with huge enthusiasm as he had been eagerly waiting for me to ask for his help.
Everyone enjoyed the candy, including Lion.
It was the best selling business we had as of late, popular to everyone as the lines buying the candy seemed endless.
I finally have enough jewels to buy everyone a surprise especially Lion. But I need Puma's help though. It would be awkward to ask one of the pack.
....
Puma became excited when I asked her for her help in shopping for gifts. She glared at the pack who asked us curiously as they reacted that we are dressed like we are about to go on a hunt for a mate.
But I'm not dressed in a provocative way. I mean I'm just wearing a halter shirt and a pair of pants for goodness sake.
Puma on the other hand....
She became annoyed with their questions that out of the blue, she took out a potion and made me drink it in front of everyone.
Everyone looked horrified as she began to smirk at them, telling everyone (especially Lion) that I won't be feeling urges for a long time.
When we arrived at the shops, I asked Puma what was in the potion. She gave me a mischievous smile and told me it was just fruit juice.
Oh my word.
....
We had fun visiting almost every shop. Puma and I bought a lot of things in which we became worried on how to manage bringing our stuff back to the castle. We need additional arms on our body to manage bringing at least half of our stuff.
Still, we just laughed as we tried to ignore the problem until it was time to go back.
Good thing there was an ord that will transport us back to the castle but costed me several green jewels.
Ouch.
Everyone looked at us with widened eyes as we repeatedly brought things inside for quite some time.
It was Ghost who helped us with glee while he kept demanding us to bring him next time.
I have a feeling that our shopping will only get worse if Ghost comes with us.
....
Lion faced away from me when I tried to kiss him while we were lying down on the bed. I persuaded him to face me in which he didn't comply, which was unusual.
I kept giving him gentle kisses on his cheek when I felt it was wet.
He was crying silently.
Oh for goodness sake.
I put my arms around his back and asked him what was wrong (I already had an idea why).
He refused to talk to me until I gave a huge sigh and faced away from him while telling him in a sad voice that I wanted to go somewhere with him tomorrow if he wasn't busy but it seemed that he wasn't interested listening to me, acting like I was about to go to sleep.
His mood suddenly shifted and he started to enthusiastically nuzzle me on my face and neck.
I was feeling a bit heated but as a revenge, acted like the potion Puma gave me earlier was effective.
....
I finally have the chance to wear a decent dress.
The dress was a white spaghetti strap mini dress that I designed. I love wearing dresses and I decided after this that I will wear dresses more often.
Puma helped me fix my hair and tried to give me some berries that will give a slight flush on my cheeks and lips. I really should make makeup next time.
When I went outside the room, Lion was already waiting for me.
I can see passion in his eyes as he looked at me. He gave me a soft kiss and embraced me tightly. Puma began to dab her eyes while shooing us both. I laughed while Lion just gave her a smile.
Lion carried me as he began to fly. I snuggled towards his chest while closing my eyes as I felt a bit queezy.
He chuckled while telling me that he is going to a place that I would surely love.
....
It is a meadow full of strange but beautiful looking flowers. It looks peaceful and suddenly I want to lie down and close my eyes.
Lion carried me towards a tree that gave us a bit of shade from the suns.
I sat on his lap as he embraced me while we looked at the sky.
Suddenly, I remembered the surprise that I'm planning to give to him.
I kissed him softly, telling him to close his eyes.
He closed his eyes with a smile as I slowly placed a necklace on his neck.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the necklace I gave him that I bought yesterday while Puma and I were shopping.
It is a beautiful magical necklace that has a single purplish-blue color gem infused with magic that protects the user from a fatal attack.
The magic itself requires blood from me as it will only protect the person I intended to give the necklace to.
The gem will break after the person will be protected from a single fatal attack.
I told Lion that I want to protect him as much as possible as I don't want to lose him.
Tears suddenly fell from his eyes as he held the gem towards his chest.
I told him that the color of the gem is the color of my name back on earth as my name also comes from a flower that has a purplish-blue color.
He embraced me while we sat there for a long time.
