Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 363
Advertisement
Joshua had no idea when Ivy had fallen asleep. He had been so lost in his thoughts that he had not given another glance at her. So, he was surprised to see her leaning her head on his shoulders as she continued to take slow breaths. Her breath tickled him and he found it extremely tantalizing to have her this close to him. However, he did not have any intentions to do anything to her right now. He could see the dark circles under her eyes. So, he allowed her to sleep and this time, he pulled her closer until she was almost lying on top of him.
Joshua hugged her close and patted her back, lulling her to sleep deeper even though Ivy had not woken up. He kissed her forehead and muttered under his breath. "I must be an idiot to have spoken that rudely to you. I am sorry Ivy and I'll do anything you want if that would make you forgive me."
Joshua stayed this way for a long time until the movie ended and neither did Ivy wake up from her slumber. It seemed as though time had stopped especially for the couple who had no idea what was happening around them. Joshua too did not care about the possibility of others finding out. He was more or less worried about Ivy. Also, he had chosen a secluded spot due to which most of them just ignored the couple.
The movie ended and everybody left the theater, except for Joshua and Ivy. While the girl was still sleeping, the man had no intentions of waking her up. They were having a blissful time and he did not want anybody to intrude upon them. So, he sent a message to the one in charge of the theaters to stop screening any other movie for the time being.
An hour or so passed and Ivy finally stirred, alerting Joshua who was still hugging her. Seeing her wake up, he removed his hands from his waist and pulled back completely. An idea struck him suddenly and the man pretended to be asleep, with his head turned to the other side.

Ivy blinked twice trying to adjust herself to the darkness in the place she was in. She had no idea where she was and for a second, her heart jumped in her chest. She feared the worst and she looked around trying to make out her surroundings. Only then did she notice Joshua beside her and she remembered where she was. 'I am at the cinema theater and we were watching a movie.'
"Movie, what happened to the movie?" Ivy suddenly turned to look at the screen which was now completely white. Also, she noticed that there was nobody in the hall other than them and her eyes widened in disbelief. "How long was I sleeping?" She muttered and tried to move her body only to get startled once again.
Ivy noticed that her legs were entangled with Joshua's and not only that her hands were tightly wound around his waist. She was completely lying on top of him and her already widened eyes stared at the now sleeping man in shock. From the looks of it, it seemed as though she was the one who had rolled over to his side. 'When did I move over?'
Carefully and slowly, Ivy started to free herself only stop suddenly on seeing the man move. She froze in her spot and hoped against hope for the man to not open his eyes. But all her wishes remained unheard and the man suddenly opened his eyes, staring directly at Ivy. "Did the movie get over?" He asked, trying to act as innocent as possible.
Ivy realized that the man did not know their predicament right now and she nodded slowly. She then tried to move once again and this time, she could not hide their closeness anymore. Joshua looked down and saw their entangled legs and a charming, devilish smirk took over his face. "Ivy, were you waiting for me to fall asleep? Did you want to take advantage of me in my vulnerable state?"

He asked, making a face in front of her conveying how used he felt right now. "What nonsense are you spouting? I did nothing you are speaking of. It was a mistake." Ivy tried to refute although she knew that somewhere it was her who had clung to him and not the other way round.
"Yeah, it was a mistake. But a very sweet mistake and I hope you keep doing it every time." Joshua stated with a cheeky grin. "Also, you do not have to do things sneakily, sweetheart. You just have to ask and this slave of yours will be at your service. You can do anything you want with me or my body." Joshua winked at her making Ivy roll her eyes in annoyance.
"Are you done or do you still have something to tell?"
"Why do you ask, baby? Is something the matter?"
"If you still have things to speak, please do it at once so that I can move away." Ivy glared at him making his smile widen.
"I am done speaking but I don't think you are not yet done taking advantage of me. If you are still not satisfied, we can continue with it. I don't mind."
"What are you blabbering?" Ivy asked raising her eyebrows and Joshua pointed to her hands that had somehow made their way to his waist once again. Highly embarrassed at being caught, Ivy pulled back immediately and struggled to get away from him. This time, Joshua did not tease her anymore and allowed her to move away although he wanted her to stay close to him as much as possible.
Ivy stood up, her face flushed and eyes not daring to meet the man who now had a sexy smirk on his face. Without another word, he held her hand in his and led her out of the hall and Ivy followed silently. She was in no mood to argue with him as she was flustered with what had transpired a few seconds ago. 'How did things go this way? It was clearly he who was trying to win over me. How did I become the one to put my guard down first?' Ivy wondered still unable to think properly.
The couple silently went back home, each lost in their own thoughts. While Joshua was planning for the next course of action, Ivy was still pondering about the things that had happened in the cinema hall. She was so lost in her thoughts that she did not even know when they had reached home. Only when she felt Joshua nudging her from the side, did she come out of her reverie.
"Where are you lost, honey?"
Ivy did not speak a word and Joshua did not stress on it as he could guess what might be running in her mind. He then continued, "Although I had decided to pacify your anger and get your forgiveness before I brought you home, I have changed my plans and now I will show you my sincerity in my style."
His words made Ivy frown and Ivy blinked at him confusion. "What are you planning to do?"
"That, my dear," Joshua tapped her nose with a doting look on his face, "is a surprise and I am sure you will love it. Now, be a good girl, go to your room and until I ask you, do not come out."

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)
Ever been a god? Well, I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently, they didn't like the whole "My Faith is the only true one!" idea. Oh, and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? In my defense, I want it to be known that my enemies threw the first stone and the whole 'Offer the other cheek' just isn't my thing. Seems like, for punishment, I get sent onto a vacation! Or so I hope? ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: It's here, a rewrite? Yes! I would like to think that this version will have better grammar, better jokes, hopefully, everything better. Since it was my first work and started solely to improve my English, the grammar always caused me headaches when I looked at it. Well, and there are the plotholes which appeared with the whole multiverse thing that came with my other works... Let's just say that the first one was never written with the idea of turning it into a series. So let's get a shovel and fill-up the plot so that hapless readers won't fall into those pitch-black pits. They might break a knee! Or worse, vanish forever. And now the disclaimer everyone knows: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The Saga of Geir Røshjert
"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this." This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place. He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people. But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me.
