Desire

Chapter 60

Neteyam looks to his right, seeing Aneysa fast asleep. The sound of her light breathing, as she rested her head on his arm.

After the day she had, she deserved a peaceful sleep.

Neteyam slides his arm out from under her, making sure that he did not disturb her.

But his touch was so warm that the second it left her, she became cold, opening her eyes.

"Teyam?" She mumbles, now being awake, despite the fact that she could barely open her eyes.

"Hey I'll be back. I just need to use the restroom" he replies softly, as he cups onto her cheek that was facing him, gently rubbing his thumb to help her fall back asleep.

And she does.

Neteyam moves his hand, holding the blanket up and laying it down on her properly, so that she did not get cold for the time that he would be away.

Even if it was just for a couple of minutes.

Neteyam then gives Aneysa a gentle peck, not being able to resist just how, peaceful she looked in that moment.

It was adorable.

Neteyam makes his way downstairs, fiddling through Aneysa's jacket that was left near the front door, going through her pockets.

As he takes his hand out, he's holding onto the invitation.

"What a lousy invitation" he scoffs as he holds it up.

He then reads out the names.

'The wedding of Noah and Luna.'

Luna. Aneysa's old friend.

The same one she told him about.

Neteyam stood there, looking at the invitation.

Right now, all he could think about was to go there and completely destroy him.

Destroy Noah.

Knowing that, he gave this invitation to Aneysa out of ridicule.

God, the invitation was meant to be given to someone by the name Laura.

That is who it was addressed to anyways.

But of course he chose to give it to Aneysa. He wanted to see her reaction on him being married to the person she called a friend.

He just wanted to ridicule her, the same way he did in highschool.

But now, Neteyam really wanted to see Noah's reaction when Neteyam chooses to not only break his nose this time.

His thoughts are interrupted as he hears whispers coming from the kitchen.

Who could possibly be awake at this time?

Neteyam walks towards the door, getting a more clear hearing of what was going on.

"Do not disrespect her mother. She is a kind girl" Neytiri says.

"I do not wish to disrespect her. And I agree with you, but daughter. This is Neteyam we are talking about. What if we are wrong and she turns out to be just like her family? What will happen to Neteyam?" Mo'at asks.

"Her family are great people. Her father and her mother both" Jake then speaks up, "maybe not her extended family. But the family she was bought up with. And, is it not you who says that we should not judge someone, based on their family history? If they have not done nothing wrong?"

"I am not judging her-"
"Oh really? Because to me, it does sound very much like you are. Not only her, but her parents too, which is something I will not take lightly. So either you chose to respect her, or you can go home" Jake interrupts Mo'at.
