Chapter 174 - Water

"We are dealing with more than we can possibly handle," she said and Ash sighed. 

'Trust me I know that very well" he replied and she frowned. 

'Ash I will ask you this one last time, do you love her?" she asked and he smiled as he looked at Cosmo, I will ask you this now, tell me do you love her?" he asked and her eyes widened as she frowned. 

'What are you talking about?" she asked and he scoffed. 

"I don't love her but I really care about her and even if I had fallen for her I don't think it would have been possible, bow I answered your question, your turn" he responded and she swallowed deeply then he smiled.

'I noticed the way you are with her Cosmo, not only now but a very long time ago, don't lie to me" he said and she sighed. 

'Yes I really do" she responded and he patted her on the head.

'You are okay with that?" she asked and he smiled. 

'Of course, I am why won't I be?" he asked and she frowned. 

'You are worried about what people might think aren't you?" he asked and she sighed. 

'Not about me, I don't care if Lilith feels the same way I am worried about what she might end up going through" she responded and he frowned. 

'I understand Cosmo, maybe if she doesn't go completely rogue, you can talk to her about it" he said and she smiled. 

'Maybe I will then" she replied and he smiled. 

'Come on, go to your room and rest, we will be up all night" he said and she sighed. 

'You don't have to tell me twice" he said as he took her to where the other room was and she got a room right beside Vivian, it was fancy and made to suit a royal. 

"Rest well," Ash said as she dropped her bag on the floor and threw herself on the bed. 

'I don't mind sleeping again, I need it or a part of me does at least" she replied and he laughed then pushed in the room door and left. 

"Man it's not that I am being lazy it's just the more I sleep the better it will be for me today, been a while since I slept like a dragon should," she said to herself as she yawned and stretched off on the bed. 

Within no time Cosmo slept away as if she had not slept in forever though being a dragon means you get a lot of sleep, due to her not being in that state often it was understandable. 

"Are we there yet?" Lilith asked as she got up from the ship shaking a bit and she opened the door only to see a huge wave before her and she sighed. 

'It's almost night, with this water we will get there until morning" she shouted and Val smiled. 

'Go back to sleep, besides it's not like the wave will bother us" he said. 

'It's bothering me" she replied and he smiled. 

'Come out a get a little wet then" he said and the knights laughed. 

"You guys are really enjoying this aren't you? she asked. 

"Well the sun is already going down," Val said and she sighed as she got onto the deck and stood where the water splattered on her and she laughed. 

"Nice right?" Val asked and she smiled. 

'Refreshing" she responded as she flew up in the air with her body glowing and all of the men left staring at her and she saw a wave coming and she came back down then Val laughed and she sighed. 

"I am all soaked," she said and he laughed. 

"We will be there in an hour" he replied and the wave that hit the boat soaked her again and she gasped then they all laughed. 

'The ocean has something against me" she said. 

'No, it does not have anything against you, just enjoy the wave, the ocean might cool you down" he replied and she laughed. 

'Alright," she said as all of the men remained dry for they were not out in the open to get wet. 

'You really like the water" Lilith said and Val smiled. 

'I find it calming even though it's rough" he replied and she smiled. 

"You really are something else Val," she said. 

'Thank you my lady" he replied. 

"You are welcome," she said as she stood for the water to fall on her and she closed her eyes. 

"I wonder what my feelings for Cosmo really are, I cannot seem to find out no matter how hard I try," she said to herself as the water passed down her body and she started to feel really relaxed as if all the nerves were asleep. 

'Man I slept a lot" Marlene said as she got up and went to take a bath and a little while the others got up too well not all of the others all, except Cosmo. 

"Ash, it's already night is she here?" Vivian asked as she went to the living room. 

'No I don't see here, you guys can join us for dinner, see if Cosmo is awake too" he responded. 

'Cosmo is here?" she asked. 

'Yeah she came a little while back" he responded. 

'I see, I bet she is sleeping" she said and Ash laughed. 

'Probably" he replied and the girl left when she bumped into the others in the hallway while going to the girl's room. 

'Where are you hearing in such a hurry?" Marlene asked. 

'To check on Cosmo, she is in the room beside mine" she responded. 

"Cosmo is probably asleep," Marlene said and Vivian sighed. 

'There is a possibility, yes" she replied as she walked away and they followed her to the girl's room then opened the door and saw Cosmo sleeping. 

'Yup she is still fast asleep" Vivian said as they walked into the room quietly and they smiled. 

'She must be really tired" Jasmine said and Vivian smiled wickedly.
