Tension Between Them
EVANGELINE

I finished bathing and have wrapped the undyed cotton cloth around my waist like a sarong. The additional square isn’t big enough to cover my torso, but I manage to fold it into a triangle and knot it behind my breasts.

I walk to the mirror and even I’m not ready for what I see. The woman in front of me isn’t the one I saw this morning. There’s something different about me, from the power that I hold in my eyes… even my skin doesn’t look the same….

My heart thunders and I take a few breaths to calm myself.

Picking up a towel I wrap my hair up in a turban hiding away the white and look down, I feel rather bare, the makeshift skirt doesn’t even fall past my knees, and is sitting below my belly button and the top is not much more than a crop top.

I suddenly feel worried, wondering what Zed will think, and shake my head. It’s ok, even if I have changed, he’ll still love me.

But how long do we have together?

I miss him…

‘Kash, I’m ready to come out.’ I say through the link as I slip my feet into the slippers.

‘Goddess! F*ck, I wasn’t expecting you in my head.”

I smile, thinking it comes so naturally.

‘I didn’t even realise I mind linked.’ I reply as I unlock the door and step out of the bathroom and the two guards opposite are now watching, frowning at what I’m in.
