• tab She had to admit that her love for Nathan wasn’t the sugarcoated fairytale love parents teach their kids. Occasionally, Nathan would do something that would make Violet go crazy for him. Teasing her by being millimeters from her lips, rubbing her stomach- A bit PG for most people at the age of 18, but understandable. Two years ago, when Violet first met and eventually fell in love with Nathan, she had almost been raped. Twice. Violet was glad that Nathan never pushed her to have it with him, but she ended up questioning their love. Wasn’t she enough? Didn’t he love her? Want to be together forever? Make true love?
    tab Violet drove on, gripping the steering wheel. When Julia had given the condom to her, she realized it was the perfect chance to hint to Nathan her thoughts. Instead, he looked so shocked and maybe even repulsed by the sheer idea of it. You’re digging a hole in the desert thought Violet. No matter what she did, Nathan would find a way to get around it.
    tab Pulling up to her house, she and Nathan engaged in a tickle fight up the stairs. By accident, he hands slipped across Violet’s chest. He quickly pulled back his hand, regret evident in his eyes. Violet simply ignored it, and smiled him off. As they walked into the mansion, Brian, Violet’s father, called out to them.
    tab “Hey, what you guys up to?”
    tab “None ya’ bees, dad! You have to realize I’m not a little girl anymore. I’m 18! Soon I won’t even be here for you to ask that! Legally, you don’t own me anymore.”
    tab “ Well, legally, I can kick you out of the house.”
    tab Violet let out an exaggerated sigh, smiling at Nathan.
    tab “Just reading! Duh!” She shouted to her father, and then taking Nathan’s hand, she led him to the Ink Room.
    *********************************************************************
    tab Nathan was tore apart with mixed emotions. What was Violet up too? The first time they met, the whole reason they fell in love, Violet was first “touched” by a drunken knight. The second time, almost raped by a psycho Merlin. Nathan had always thought Violet was the witty funny type who was either too scared or just didn’t care about having sex. But she seemed to be changing. The kissing, the tickling incident- the condom especially. Maybe what Nathan had first thought was wrong. Violet could surprise anyone, even him.
    tab After they had entered the Ink Room with all of their stuff for the journey to Athens, Nathan began to read the passage from a myth of Athens. Interrupting, Violet turned to Nathan and stared at him with her chestnut eyes.
    tab “Do you love me?”
    tab Nathan tilted his head, wondering what was the sudden urge for reassurance. He thought about it a moment. Did he really love the girl staring up at him with a soft expression but hard eyes. Nathan smiled. Of course he did. The way she spoke the honest truth, never shying away from it even if it was hard to believe. She was so witty too! Sometimes what she said made him laugh so hard, he couldn’t breathe, but it was in a good way. Violet was beautiful in Nathan’s eyes: inside and out.
    tab “My bounty is as deep as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite,” Nathan whispered, slightly smiling.
    tab Time seemed to slow, Violet reaching over and taking Nathan’s face to her. Her eyes closed gently, and caressed Nathan’s lips with care. He wrapped his arms around her, picking Violet up as she wrapped her arms around his neck. They didn’t even realize they were traveling until they found themselves in a soft bed. Violet stopped, dazed and woozy with emotions of love.
    tab She giggled, and got up. Nathan couldn't help but stare at Violet. She was wearing a short white dress that hung loosely to her body. Her hair had become extremely curly, and was pulled up in a mound on to of her head, but strands of it framed Violet's face. Her face was gently powdered and something glistened on her eyelashes and lips. She was exactly what Nathan had always dreamed of in a princess- or girlfriend.
    tab The he looked around, and realised where he was. The bed was the same, the window in the same spot... This was the motel in which his father had died at. Feelings boiled over and Nathan's face went bright red, his eyes watery.
    tab Violet looked at him, putting her hand on his face.
    tab "What is it, baby?"
    tab Oh my god, who is this woman? Baby? Nathan loved Violet with all his heart, but this, this entrance to the mythology book has opened his eyes. He could get the revenge he always wanted! Oh...
