Aurora's red dress moved as she walked in the hotel's hallways. She asked Damian on a date, a romantic dinner in one of the many restaurants inside the hotel, and he accepted it.
Of course, Damian was no longer using his casual clothes, but a black suit, looking like a rich person despite having little money after paying for his hotel room.
The hotel did not have that many people. It was not a time of the year were people who had a time off. Aurora and her family went there because she got herself a vacation from Garmony, and they wanted to use that time to enjoy.
Damian walked beside her, and he could not help but to ask, "is there a chance your parents will see us there?"
"No, I don't think so. They never went to that restaurant before, and they are sleeping right now," Aurora said.
"Now that we are talking about them, are they okay with you leaving the school?"
Aurora and Magnus had already planned on leaving Garmony to join The Dawn, the organization their friend currently was. They did not know he was the leader, but it did not matter. They just wanted to stay together, and the whole idea behind studying in Garmony was to get a decent job after graduating from the school, so they would join another organization.
Also, it was not like Aurora did not have the money to pay for private teachers, so there was nothing holding her back in Garmony. Nothing at all!
"Yeah, they actually don't care that much about it. My family has a lot of money, and my father has contacts too, so even if I don't graduate in Garmony, he would still get a decent job for me."
"I see. I hope Magnus is in a similar situation too, because I don't want to harm any of you."? Damian said.
"You are not, don't worry. We both want to explore the world, and Garmony is not as fun as it was supposed to be. I feel like it is just a place to make everyone work under the government, and listen to what they have to say."
Aurora touched on a complex subject, so they just forgot about it, and focused on their dinner. Damian still felt strange about having both of his friends leaving Garmony, but he was also thinking those schools for superhumans were not that big of a deal.
The restaurant they choose was a fancy one, and despite Damian having little money, he said nothing. Aurora was the one saying how she would pay for his dinner.
"If you say so, who am I to refuse?"
"Also, are you sure Joffrey's family is going to help us? The Dawn?"
"I think so, yes. Also, there is something I wish to discuss with you, Aurora," Damian said in a serious tone.
It made Aurora a little tense for a moment, but Damian soon laughed and said, "calm down, nothing serious or about us. The Duke from the nearby castle attacked Joffrey's family, and I learned they were actually after his older brother…"
Damian shared with her about the Duke wanting to know more about Joffrey's older brother, who went missing inside the dungeon years ago. He hoped she had some information about the man, yet she did not.
"I did not even know Joffrey had a brother. There's Astrid, I? remember, but the two never spoke about this older brother to me. Not that I? spent much time with them," Aurora said.
"Strange…"
The situation looked rather strange. Why did they never said a thing about this older brother to Aurora? There was no reason for them to lie about it either, and Astrid looked like someone who lost her brother.
"Were they hiding that information from her? Perhaps that was why Joffrey acted like an idiot, so that Aurora hated him, leaving his family alone."
Damian's mind worked at full speed, and the first guess he had was that they did not want Aurora to know about Joffrey's older brother. It got weirder and weirder, and Damian wanted to uncover that mystery!
"Well, they spoke about this older brother to me, and they also want me to help them find it. This smells off to me, especially now that I know they hid this information from you. We should do our own research and learn more about this guy, if possible."
The first part of their dinner comprised the two catching up, speaking about their experiences and what would their next moves be. But when the seafood arrived, the wine, the topics changed a little, talking more about personal stuff.
ραпdα Й?νê|(сòm) "I-I missed you, you know," Aurora said, moving her gaze away from Damian, picking up her glass of wine.
"Me too, Aurora. Want to hang out in my room after dinner?"
When Damian said that, many thoughts flashed through her mind. "Yes, of course."
~~~~
The seafood was extremely good, and after having a good time in the restaurant, the two returned to Damian's room, bringing a bottle of wine they got from the restaurant.
"Does your room look similar to mine?" Damian asked after he opened up the door.
"Yes, they all look basically the same."
"Wanna watch something? Let me change clothes real quick."
Damian grabbed a casual shorts and a black tank-top. Aurora could not take her eyes off his muscular arms.
The two sat on a comfy leather couch, and Damian picked up the TV remote controller, putting a movie for them to watch. He also got them some soda to drink, as they did not want to get drunk with wine after having to drink it during dinner.
They watched the movie until the middle, but that's when the atmosphere heated. Aurora sat close to Damian, so close both of their bodies touched.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer. Aurora did the same, but her arm went to around his waist. They stared at each other, moving their lips closer for a kiss.
