Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 150

Meanwhile in Ivy's apartment.
After disconnecting Max's call, Ivy looked at the time. It was a few minutes past four and her lazy bug of a sister was still sleeping. Aria had night duty that day. So, she had spent the entire day sleeping. The previous night, she couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between her and Noah. Every time she closed her eyes, Noah's seductive face would come in her mind making her blush.
Aria couldn't get an ounce of sleep for a long time. Finally, when dawn broke out, her tired eyes closed and she fell into a deep sleep. She did not wake up until Ivy called her to have lunch and immediately after eating, she had dashed to her room to cuddle with her bed once again. Now it was past four and she had not yet come out.
Aria had informed Ivy that her shift would start at six and not to wake her up until five. So, she had not bothered to disturb her again. However, to her surprise, Aria herself got up and walked out of her room with a hair similar to a bush. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she plopped on the couch and yawned loudly.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty."
"Morning." Aria gave her a cheeky grin and stretched her hands above her head. Her body had become stiff, and now she tried to relax her muscles.
"Is there anything to eat? I am hungry." Aria asked like a small kid. Ivy smiled at her antics, she still looked like a girl who would ask her chocolates in the past whenever she was hungry. The only difference now was that she did not ask her chocolates but for food.
"Go, wash yourself. I'll prepare some snacks for you. Do you want me to pack your dinner or will you buy it in the hospital?"

"Can you pack a box, if it not much trouble? I want to eat the food made by you today." Aria's eyes sparkled when she heard that Ivy was going to pack her dinner. The hospital food was good, but she preferred Ivy's food more. It was delicious and it suited her taste buds more.
"Okay. Now, you go. Get ready."
While Ivy prepared her food, Aria rushed to take a bath. Being a doctor, she was highly hygienic had the habit of taking a bath every day. If she missed even a day, she felt that worms were crawling all over her body. It didn't take long for her to complete her bath. However, the biggest problem occurred when she noticed the hickey on her neck. She had chosen a normal blouse for work. Due to the hickey, she had to change to a turtle neck sweater.
The entire time she was getting dressed, she did not forget to curse Noah. It was his work that had led to such a situation. On a second thought, she was quite satisfied with her attire, the weather was turning cold. So, it was better that she had covered herself with warm clothes. The one thing she hated was cold and winter. Winter was not her season, it always made her sulk and moody. She preferred spring. The season brought smiles on her face.
By the time, she was done getting ready, Ivy had also packed her food and she had prepared her snacks to fill her stomach. Aria did not waste any more time and started hogging food.
"Aria, Max and the others had a meeting with Noah."
"Umm." She replied and stuffed another piece of cutlet. They were so delicious that she did not even hear what Ivy was talking about. All that mattered about was food.

"He has agreed to sponsor us. Now, we need to prepare a full proof plan to start work. My brother-in-law is amazing."
"Amazing." Aria licked her lips and took another bite. Her actions made Ivy laugh. Though she knew Aria was talking about food, she could as well twist the tales and have some fun.
"Aria, how do you describe him in one word?" She teased, purposely reducing her voice at the word 'him'. Just as she had expected, Aria misunderstood Ivy's word and assumed her to be talking about the cutlet.
"Appetizing." She blurted out without thinking.
"Is it?"
Aria nodded innocently. She was so busy in finishing her plate that she did not see the playful smirk on her sisters face. The innocent Aria did not even know that her sister had recorded their entire conversation on her phone. She licked her lips and patted her belly in utter satisfaction.
"So, you were asking something?" Aria finally fixed her gaze on Ivy. She had not heard a word her sister had said. All she could hear was some muffled words as her entire concentration was on her plate. Now that her main task was done, she could concentrate on the other tasks.
"Did you not hear what you just said?"
"What did I say?" Aria was confused. 'Did I say something weird to her right now? Why she is looking at me like I am a lunatic?'
"You just called my brother-in-law to be appetizing." Ivy gave her a teasing smirking, shocking Aria.
"No, I didn't." Aria denied at once. She had not said anything of that sort.
"Yes, you did. Just now."
Finally, it struck her what had happened. What she had assumed to be about food, was in fact about Noah. Her sister had tricked her. Aria didn't hesitate to complain about it. "You tricked me."
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did."
"What proof dod you have?" Ivy folded her hands and looked at her sternly. Ivy knew that did not have an proof against her while she had the voice note.
"I don't have anything. But..." As she was speaking, her eyes fell on her watch and she jumped at once. "Oh my God. I am going to be late." She dashed to her room to get her things.
Ivy laughed seeing at her behave like a scared mouse. "Aren't you driving your car today?"
"No. I don't think I will have the patience to drive it back tomorrow. It's best to hail a cab. I would have asked you to drop me. But, not a problem." Aria said as she checked her purse.
"Take care," Ivy shouted after her when she left the house. The house became silent the next moment. She took out her phone and edited the voice note and sent it to Noah, with a smirk on her face.
The poor guy did not even know that two women in just one day had compared him to a delicacy and the astonishing fact was that one among them was his girlfriend. Now that Ivy had sent him the note, he would find out eventually.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
