《Trust Me》Chapter 22.

I looked up to face him, not being able to contain the smile forming on my lips.
"You want me to help you decorate the house ?" I ask him in excitement.
He nodded his head in response smiling at me.
I jumped up and hugged him.
"Okay, so blankets and cushions are the first things to go here " I stated, but also seemed his approval as I pointed at the place in front of the window.
"Well it's your room so you can decorate it however you want " he crossed his arms as he gave me a weak smile.
My room?
Why would he give me a room?
And why am I excited about it?
"My room?" I murmured looking deep into his ocean eyes.
"That's only if you want " he tried to make up for what he said. He probably thought he was being too straight forward.
"You know I fell in love with this room as soon as we walked in right ?" I reply sarcastically raising my eyebrow at him, trying to make him shake off the feeling he probably had.
"Yeah, I could tell" he chuckled.
My stomach then rumbled, and I remembered I hadn't eaten anything today.
"You hungry ?" He couldn't contain his laughter.
I softly slapped his arm . " oh shush I haven't eaten anything today " I admitted.
His face then completely changed to that of concern.
"Why haven't you eaten anything ?" His voice stern as he narrowed his eyes.
I looked down rubbing the back of my neck "I just forgot ". I admitted as I slowly lifted my face to look at him.
I saw him typing something on his phone.
"What kind of pizza do you like ?". He stopped looking at his phone and starred back at me.

I gave him a stern look "You're not paying for it ".
"Just tell me what pizza you want woman " he chuckled.
"Pepperoni " I admitted in a defeated tone.
We were back in the living room when the door knocked. Henry went to answer it and then he came back with the pizzas.
I clapped my hands in excitement like a child and he laughed at the action.
He put the pizzas on the table and I put some music on my phone.
We sat down and started eating.
"Wait, isn't that cheating ?" I uttered with my mouth half full.
"What is ?" Henry was confused but he was still eating his chicken barbeque pizza.
"This " I point to him and his pizza chuckling. "Aren't you supposed to keep fit?"
He looked at me with a guilty look while eating his last slice "my trainer doesn't need to know, and I trust you not to tell him".
I couldn't help but laugh at his remark. "You put too much faith in me Cavill".
We finished our pizzas and we opened two bottles of beer. As I got more comfortable I put my legs on the sofa and I sat crossed legged.
"So you don't know where to spend your money So you spend it on houses ?" I proceeded to ask him in a joking tone.
"Is that bad? I think of it as having a home wherever I go " he admitted as he took another sip of his beer.
"So you're gonna buy yourself a house in Austria and in Spain when we get there ?" I gave him a sarcastic smile.
He tilted his head slightly to the right "probably " he answered chuckling.
After that, we just ended up discussing how he wanted his house to be decorated.

"So what about the master bedroom?" I ask him looking at furniture on my phone.
"What about it?" He seemed confused.
"How do you want it? Do you want it minimalistic? Do you want it comfy? Relaxed? Romantic? "
He seemed deep in thought.
"Guess I want it comfy and romantic " he answered me after a while, his eyes gazing at me.
"Aww, we have a romantic in the room" I chuckle as I give him the goo goo eyes.
He chuckled again and hid his face in his palms in embarrassment.
I moved closer to him and removed his hands from his face.
"I'm sorry, I was kidding " I was still chuckling.
He didn't answer me, just looked at me with a vicious smile and he then started to tickle me.
I couldn't breathe from the laughter, and I was begging him to stop.
He stopped and regained his serious composure. He rested his face on his hand. "That's what you get when you make fun of me " he managed to break a smile.
Which earned him a playful punch on the shoulder. "You're a dick" I exclaimed.
He chuckled.
But then his serious face came back "well that means that you aren't a romantic person then?"

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons
Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic. An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel? Adventures? Right this way! A Grand quest? Nah. Friends and loot? Heck yes! Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food. Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her. Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move. Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don’t hesitate to point out the flaws. The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there! I’m going to be posting M-W-F I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random “this is the last chapter” out of the blue. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.

Luckily she finds support in her once-liberator, now turned friend, the happy-go-lucky Evon, who carefully hides his past, the ghost-like Khrast, Kreya and many others. It is a tale of adventure, of lies and deceit, of love lost and found, of bravery and cowardice and where every one of our heroes and villains alike strive to find the answer to the same question: who is the being behind the Mansion of the Woods?
