Fifteen Journey - Chapter 19

No one had said a word. Mike was extremely worried with Horous’s health and, neither Cassey nor Rick wanted to stop the silence, not to say something stupid. They were heading to the next village, the village where Cassey had been received, and she had agreed to join them, at least till Horous was better, and guide the two of them. Rick wasn’t sure of his responsibilities. He hadn’t apologised Mike for not rescuing him in the right time yet, and that was really heavy in his mind. He hadn’t had either the chance to talk with Cassey, to solve things, and his feelings for her were changing, some direction he didn’t want to go. And for the first time, he was afraid in the Tourch’s woods. He didn’t know what to choose between his honour as a Tourch player and his responsibilities as a friend.
“There it is!” Cassey pointed to huge spot in the next hill.
Mike was hopeful. He started running. As soon as Horous’s was healthy again, he could be relieved for his best friend’s sake.

“Kyaaaaa, now, what are we gonna do?”
Rick smiled at Cassey. She was laid in the room’s bed they had rented and were waiting for Mike to arrive.
“I guess Horous will take time until full heal” Rick wondered “Wanna go somewhere?”
Cassey looked suspiciously at him.
“What are you thinking…?”
She didn’t have time to reply. Rick grabbed her hand and brought her downstairs to outside the motel.
“What are you doing?” she said punching him.
“Wait and see”
He took her to one of the bars he had seen when entering the village and took her inside.
“What are you? A pervert-holic?”
“I am not sure if I am a pervert, but I am definitely alcoholic. Hey, barman, two!”
She looked at him with an I-don’t-drink-alcohol look. For Cassey’s deception, the drinks arrived too fast.
“Come on, taste it”
“Never in my life!” she replied with disgust.
For Cassey’s stupefaction, Rick drank his own in one time.
“Are you normal?”
“Maybe… but guess what? If you don’t want yours, you can give it to me…”
“I prefer drink it to have to pull you till the motel drunk”
Rick had a victorious smile in his face. Cassey had just staring at her drink unsure of what to do. However, Rick helped.
Cassey was caught. Rick pulled the glass to Cassey’s mouth obliging Cassey to drink it all. And she had sticked to the scheme…
“Whaa ae hou, a mohon?!!!” she replied with her mouth full of beer.
Rick decided to help her. And he kissed her.
To Rick, it seemed the end of what could be a beautiful love. But it was the end, since his feelings for her were decreasing. He didn’t want the end to happen, so he didn’t break the kiss.
Cassey had her eyes open. She was just stupefacted. Maybe the time reaction was too slow because she was drunk. Anyway, just before she was thinking of closing her eyes too, her conscience spoke louder. The people were staring at them, but bothering with that wasn’t Cassey’s style.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU PERVERT?!!!”
She punched him, directing him to the barman’s balcony. I hate you, those were the last words Rick heard from Cassey.
“Are you alright?” the servant asked.
Rick just stood up ignoring the servant’s question. He paid the drinks and got out of the bar. He knew what to do now, he couldn’t go to the motel since he had to avoid Cassey.
Cassey…
“I’m progressing…”
