《Sway(Wattys 2015)》Thief

I followed Ivan up to a private booth , I sat one side and Ivan sat on the other. We were handed out menus and I scanned it in seconds deciding on having the same as Ivan which was pulled BBQ beef with warm salad.
The service was excellent so we were served in a few minutes. I thanked the waiter before digging in. The food was delicious.
"This is good" I say after clearing my mouth with water.
"I've had better" he replies
"Of course you have"
I continue to eat my food taking small sips of water between bites, Ivan finished before me but I shortly followed.
"I'm stuffed"
"So you don't want dessert" he says
"I never said that"
The waiter comes over with two plates, a chocolate gateaux for me and Eton mess for Ivan.
I pick up my spoon about to cut a piece of cake when Ivan sticks his spoon in taking a big chunk of gateaux and puts it in his mouth.
"What the hell was that !" I say out of annoyance.
"Yours tastes better then mine" he says
"You could of asked , it's called having MANNERS" I joke
"Please May I have some of your gateaux, your majesty"
"No you can't , be gone peasant" I wave my hand in attempt to shoo him off. He smiles and shakes his head, he finishes his dessert and sighs.
"Fine" I huff. I push the plate towards him and he finishes it off.
"What's the time ?" I ask . he looks at his watch before answering.
"2 o'clock " he replies.
The waiter comes over to clear our plates and refill our drinks in the process.
"Is that coke?" I ask
"No it's alcohol"
"And you're driving!!"
"It doesn't effect me" he reassured do I drop it.
"How come I have water?"
"Because you're only 17 and it's 2 o'clock, I'm not giving you alcohol , dirty habits like that are going to make you a alcoholic"
"No it won't" I snap
He gets a straw and puts it into the cup , he positions the cup a few centimetres away from him and signals for me to have some keeping his right hand around the glass.
"A sip" he sternly says
"I can't reach it" he slightly moves the glass forward but it's still not in drinking reach.
I reach out for the glass ,wrapping my small hand over Ivan's larger one.
"Let go" I say. He hesitantly let go of the glass but quickly grabbed my wrist.
"A sip" he repeats. I put the straw in my mouth and sucked,as soon as the liquid touches my tongue I turn my head away and wash down the remaining taste with some water.

"What's wrong?....i thought you liked alcohol" he teases
Ivan takes the straw out of his glass and throws it to the side.
"Quick question.....how old are you?" I ask. Ivan raises his eyebrows at.
"Slightly older then you"
"What are we talking like 10-20 years older.....or are you like a million years old" I ask nervously
"No Rogue I am not a million years old"
I took a sip from my ice cold water whilst I waited for Ivan's response.
"I'm 299"
I choke on my drink out of shock.
"You're 299!" I shout in disbelief
Ivan has an amused look on his face.
"I mean I've never even had a relationship with someone over 18, 20 max but you're 299!....thats a 282 year difference!!!"
"If It makes you feel any better technically I'm only 24" he says with humour in his voice.
"Yeah it does actually"
"Really!"
"No" Ivan smiles and shakes his head at my recent behaviour.
"When's your birthday?" I ask
"June 16th......yours?"
"August 2nd"
"So you've only just turned 17" Ivan said with a hint of surprise.
"Yup" I bluntly reply
The waiter returns stopping the conversation, but this time with the check.
Leaving me to think in my head.I can't get over how old Ivan is, he must of seen so much in his life, I guarantee he's been all around the world that's why no one got suspicious, he doesn't look it , oh look Ivan's holding my credit card in hid hand........what!!!.
We both say thank you to the waiter and then he leaves. Ivan puts the card back into his jacket pocket.
"Ivan" I say bluntly.
"What?" He questions
"Can I wear your jacket I'm a little cold" I say, not wanting to make anything obvious.
"But we're inside" he says with a confused look.
"It's a little breezy". He shrugs his shoulders before taking the jacket off and passing it to me.
"Thank you" I say. I don't put it on instead I put my hands in the pocket and pull out the card, checking the details on the front it was definitely mine.
I throw his jacket at him, hitting him in the face.
"I changed my mind" he looks at me weird before putting it back on.
"Are you ready to go" he asks. Before he could get out the booth, I put my foot on the wall , blocking his exit with my leg.
"What is this?" I say whilst holding up my card . When Ivan sees what I was holding up a huge smile creeped on his face.

"A card" he says
"My card!!.....what is it doing in your pocket?" I ask in a pissed tone.
"I don't know" he replies trying not to laugh
"How did you find it ?"
"No ,no ....how did I take it" he corrected
"Fine. How did you TAKE it " I angrily say.
"When I bumped into you"
"Why?"
"Why not" he shrugs. I shake my head and look away from him.
"Are you ready to go now" he says. I ignore him and continue to look away.
"Rogue, let's go"
No answer.
"The silent treatment.... really"
He sighs then calls me a "baby"
I kick him in the arm out of aggravation. He grabs my ankle, gently tugging me causing me to slightly slide of the chair. I brake free of his grip and he gets out the booth, just as before I keep my arms crossed , my head turned away and my face is as serious as possible.
He stands up and leans on the wall ,waiting for me to get up.
"Have you finished sulking, because I want to leave" he says
I don't reply instead i finish the rest of my drink.
"I'm leaving" he walks away. But shortly returns, he doesn't say a word instead he wraps his arm tightly around my waist and pulls me out the booth.
"Get of me right now!" I snap.
Both of my feet were now of the floor and my back was to his chest. His arm was around my waist securing me in his grip.
"Ivan....stop" as angry as I was, a laugh escaped my lips.
"What's so funny" he says. I continued to laugh as I tried to escape his grip. In a split second Ivan had managed to spin me around so my chest was against his, yet my feet were still of the floor.
"Get off me" I say looking him straight in the eyes.
"You have a beautiful smile" he says. As soon as the words left his mouth my heart fluttered and I broke eye contact, not being able to look at him any longer.
I look back at him and in the moment i connected my lips with his. Thankfully he kissed me back.
"That was unexpected" he said after we had pulled away
"Sorry" I quickly say
"Don't be"
"Are you going to put me down ,now " I ask.
He put me down but before I could walk away he put playfully draped his arm around my neck stopping me from walking.
"Left or right" he said holding out both if his hands.
"Errr right" he opens up is right hand nothing there.
"Left" I quickly say. He opens his left hand but there was nothing.
"I'm confused" I confess. He rubs his hands together and re-clenches both of his fists.
"Left or right" he says again
"There's nothing in there"
"Left or right" he repeats
"Fine. Left" I say, yet again there was nothing there.
"Right" I sigh ,getting annoyed with this.
He opens his hand and a diamond bracelet dangles down. My eyes grew wide out of amazement as they focused on the diamond Jewell that dangles before my eyes. He moved it closer and the smile on my face was the biggest it's ever been. Examining it closely it was the bracelet from the shop.
He placed the bracelet on my left wrist and secured it on. I slowly turned around to Ivan who was watching me.
"The man said it made your eyes sparkle, I had to see for myself.......he was right" he says with a soft smile on his face.
"Thank you so much Ivan, i love it" i kiss him on the check before embracing him into a hug.
"You're welcome"
We left after that, the whole way home I was constantly admiring the gift and thanking him. I was so fascinated that I didn't realise it had started to rain.
When we got back to the mansion I had informed Ivan I was going to see Tasha and then meet him at his room.
I ran to the rooms and pushed open the door, all the girls were sat down and I ran straight to Tasha and jumped on top of her.
"OMG Rogue!!! What are you doing here, did Ivan do something!" She said
"Yes something pretty spectacular" I reply
"What!" She shouted. The other girls had gathered round to see what was happening.
"So I wanted this thing and i was gonna buy it but I thought I lost my card but turned out Ivan had it, so I was angry and then he picked me up and we kissed then he was like left or right and then he opened his hand then bam , there it was!" I quickly say with excitement.
"Bam what ?!" She says
"This" I lift up my sleeve to reveal the bracelet. All the girls gasp and shout in amazement but mostly jealousy.
"I'm so fucking jealous!" She screamed.
"And you kissed !!" She added.
I finished discussing the rest of the day in private with Tasha in her room, I said goodbye before I made my way to Ivan's room.

Khaldir's Observer
Markus Kuberski, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at the Vienna University of Technology and a weeb, is bored by life. He has no girlfriend he cannot meet up with his friends because there is another Covid-lockdown and getting a side-job is also unsuccessful. Therefore, he has started to write a web novel. “If I cannot be the main character with magical powers and a harem full of cute girls in real life then I will create my own universe and be its protagonist.” Although that has been his first thought, he neither dare to use himself as the main character’s template nor write a harem story. “I am not that desperate!” he muses to himself. Little does he know that he will get more than he asked for when a mighty existence becomes interested in his story and makes it a reality. Hello, this is my first attempt at creating something like a novel. English is also not my native language, so expect some grammar and punctuation issues. I am using Grammarly to help myself in this regard, but in some areas, the free app cannot correct everything.There is currently no fixed schedule, although I believe that two chapters per week should be reasonable. Depending on how much time I have, I can write more.
