CH 19 – Hot Meal
After they finished shopping for clothes, the two once again walked on the busy street. Yelena was still a bit upset about what had happened, while Lily was trying her best to apologize.
“I’m sorry, okay! I just thought it would be fun and all; I didn’t think I would be seen.” She told Yelena.
The other girl sighed. It was hard to be mad at Lily, especially when she looked into those pleading eyes on her cute freckled face.
“I’m not mad. Just please, promise me no more shenanigans like that in public.” Yelena wanted to make sure Lily wouldn’t be trying anything like that again.
“Well… I can’t really promise that. I mean, come on! Have you seen yourself? How am I supposed to resist? It is not fair. Besides, it would be good for you too. I mean, other than feeling good. I bet new experiences like that would help you grow your powers too.” Lily tried to argue her point.
Yelena couldn’t believe she was hearing that right. By now, she realized that Lily was not as innocent as she had seemed at first, but it looked like she was actually closer to the way Lucia had described the girl.
“She is not wrong. Some intense experience like that would help you to unlock your powers faster.” Lucia confirmed that Lily was once again right.
“Oh, shut up, both of you!” Yelena groaned loudly.
Lily chuckled after hearing her outburst. It was not hard to figure out who the other person Yelena was referring to was.
“So she agrees, huh?” Lily smirked.
“Yes, she does. That doesn’t mean it is okay to do this in public. So please, just wait until tonight, okay?” Yelena pleaded with the redhead.
“I’ll try, no promises, though.” She chuckled.
Yelena had a bad feeling about this, but nothing she could do right now. If Lily gets another idea, she will just have to grit her teeth and stop her.
The two kept walking towards their destination, and soon they arrived at the market square. It was pretty big, as one would expect from a city this size. Although the crowd wasn’t as bad, given that it was already later in the afternoon. Most people would be coming here in the morning.
Still, there were multiple stands scattered around the square, each selling different merchandise. Food, clothing, jewelry, even weapons. Everything could be found here. It wasn’t just the stalls. Almost every building around the square was some kind of shop or related to trading. This place will become quite important for them in the future.
As they grew stronger, they would eventually need new weapons, armor, and other equipment to complete their jobs. The most important and, of course, the most expensive were magic items.
Although in their first year, the use of such items was forbidden unless they got permission from the school. Such permission was rare and only granted in exceptional cases. This meant that at least during their first year, they didn’t have to worry about that, but later on, such items will be a crucial part of their progression.
This was already worrying Lily. Unlike Yelena or Thea, she didn’t have a wealthy family to support her and provide everything she needed. She also didn’t want to rely on the other two for handouts; the whole dress thing already weighed heavily on her mind, so she would have to work extra hard to earn that money through her jobs.
“Thank you!” Lily spoke quietly.
“For what?” Yelena was confused about those words.
“The dress, for inviting me to the party. All that. I know it wasn’t cheap. I also know it wasn’t much money for you, but it was a lot for me. My family would earn what that dress cost in probably a month or more.” She answered Yelena.
It was easy to see that she was bothered by this. Yelena could understand why.
“There is no need to thank me. I invited you because I like you and I wanted you to come with me. I bought you the dress for the same reason. I know that won’t take away what bothers you, but…” Yelena stopped walking, and so did Lily.
Yelena reached out to the girl, placed her index finger on her chin to lift her face, and held her thumb over her lips.
“... if you want to pay me back, you can do that some other way, tonight.” A little bit of teasing wasn’t above Yelena either.
Lily’s expression quickly changed, and she had a big grin on her face.
“So that is how you want to play, huh? Just a minute ago, you were telling me not to do anything out here, and now you are trying to rile me up? That is not fair at all.” Lily laughed, but Yelena could sense danger in that laugh.
She realized she might have opened the door that should have been left closed and locked. It was too late now; she could only hope Lily wouldn’t try something like in the dressing room again.
The two continued their journey; the restaurant Yelena picked out wasn’t too far from the market square. When they arrived, a nicely dressed waiter greeted them at the door and soon showed them to their table.
The place itself had a nice atmosphere. It wasn’t over the top, but still elegant. The lights were slightly dimmed, giving it a somewhat more romantic vibe. The table they were shown to was set for two people and in a place mostly out of sight.
The waiter gave them the menu and then let the two look through it and decide. They made the choice that they would forgo any alcohol. Some wine wouldn’t be bad, but they suspected the party would have more than enough, and they didn’t need any warm-up before that.
Once they decided, they placed their orders and waited.
“So, I was wondering, why didn’t you invite Thea instead of me?” Lily asked.
Yelena sure didn’t expect this question, but it was not something she couldn’t answer honestly.
“Well, when it was offered, Thea and I weren’t a thing. It was only you and me, so you were my first thought. Even if it wasn’t the case, I would still have invited you. Thea is not exactly the type who enjoys this type of environment.” Yelena explained.
Lily nodded, although she still had some questions about the topic, especially regarding Thea.
“Interesting. I never would have thought she wouldn’t enjoy going to these parties. She seems pretty friendly. Is there a reason behind it?” Lily asked her question.
“It is just the way she is. She is good in smaller groups and can easily chat and befriend people. When it comes to bigger events, she has a lot of trouble. She gets overwhelmed if there are too many people around. So if she can help it, she will avoid it.” Yelena knew Thea well, so it was not hard to articulate exactly what she meant.
“I see, that makes sense. No point bringing her if she won’t enjoy it anyway. Plus, it means I’ll have you for myself for the night.” Lily smiled, knowing well how things would end up after the party.
As they talked, their appetizers already arrived, and they both started eating. They skipped lunch and then spent almost two hours getting the dresses, so they were both pretty hungry.
“Speaking of schoolmates, did you decide if you will go on the date with the princess?” Yelena shot Lily a mean look when she asked that.
Obviously, Yelena already told the previous day’s events to both Lily and Thea, so it wasn’t exactly a secret. The only thing still undecided was whether she would show up.
“It is not a date; she made that perfectly clear, but either way, I still didn’t make up my mind.” She answered.
Obviously, it would be very rude to just not show up or refuse the invitation, especially since they were talking about a member of the royal family. That being said, Yelena didn’t exactly want to spend the evening in the princess’ company.
“I think you should, also, it is a hundred percent a date. She might not admit it, and you are in full denial, but it is one.” Lily sounded certain about it.
“If you are so sure, then why would you want me to go? I mean, you saw her. How she behaves, her attitude and personality.” Yelena argued about it.
Lily looked up at her with a smile. She did indeed see the princess, but she also saw her from a completely different perspective, one that Yelena was clearly ignoring.
“She seemed very compliant when training with you. She never complained, and her usual arrogant attitude disappeared. The only issue was when you touched her, but I assume our princess is a little shy.” Lily shared her observation.
Yelena thought back to the times when they trained. She hated to admit it, but Lily was right. Valerie was more than compliant during their session.
“Still, that doesn’t mean anything. Maybe she just took the rules very seriously.” Yelena was not ready to give in.
Lily rolled her eyes; she couldn’t believe Yelena was still in full denial of the situation.
“It does mean a lot. I don’t think she behaves that way with anyone other than you, promise or not. If you are really that dense, you might not need your sword; you can simply bash your head into everything.” Lily grumbled.
Yelena was speechless. She couldn’t understand why Lily was trying so hard to convince her.
“So, in short, she is totally into you; also, I have a feeling she has a very specific inclination. One that I wouldn’t mind indulging in myself, too. I mean, if you are okay with that too. I don’t mean just her and me, more like the three of us together.” Lily got a little worried there at the end.
Now it makes much more sense why Lily is so pushy about it. While Yelena didn’t exactly know what inclination she was talking about, she could tell Lily was more than interested in a threesome with Yelena and the princess.
“Fine! I’ll go! I won’t promise anything. I'm still not sure if it is a date or anything, plus she still has a very bad attitude, but I’ll give her a chance.” Yelena relented.
Yelena still didn’t fully warm up to the idea, but she knew refusing it would be worse. She still didn’t intend to treat it as a date, but she was at least willing to try. Lily was pleased with the answer.
They continued their lunch and soon switched to the main course. They were discussing a few small things as they ate. That is, until Yelena felt something touching against her crotch. The girl almost jumped out of her seat and started looking down in mild panic.
She quickly noticed that the touch came from Lily’s leg. At some point, the girl ditched her shoe and reached over to Yelena’s side, and now she was rubbing her feet against her cock.
“Didn’t we agree not to do this?” Yelena glared at Lily.
“I never made a promise. Then you decided to tease me, remember? So, I thought it would be only fair if I got to have some fun.” Lily replied.
The girl wiggled her feet under Yelena’s skirt and touched her through the underwear. Yelena’s cock didn’t need more encouragement and started growing. The girl was desperately trying to prevent it, but it was too late.
Lily grinned as she felt it grow under her feet. Yelena was not that happy about the situation. The only saving grace was that others would have a hard time noticing what was going on. The white tablecloth was long enough on the side to fully cover them from that angle.
Luckily, nobody, thanks to their seating arrangement, was behind them, so getting discovered was less of a risk. Still, it was a risk, which Yelena wasn’t all that happy to take.
“Please… stop that! We are going to be… seen.” Yelena begged her.
“Don’t worry! Nobody is paying us any attention. Just lean back and enjoy!” Lily wasn’t letting it go that easily.
Lily started applying more pressure with her foot, speeding up her movements. She found delight in seeing Yelena squirm and trying to hold back her voice as her sensitive cock was being pleasured under the table. Watching her face turn red was quite a treat as well.
Soon enough, the waiter came back with the desserts and took their plates away. Lily wasn’t stopping, so Yelena had to try extra hard not to give away what was going on.
“Are you feeling well?” He asked Yelena.
Looks like despite her best effort, she couldn’t hide her blushing face or weird movements.
“She is fine! She has a condition, and this happens sometimes. It will go away in a little bit. No need to be concerned.” Lily answered the question.
The waiter nodded and left with the plates. Throughout the whole time, Lily didn’t stop even for a second; she really did make Yelena squirm.
“That was… too close!” Yelena told.
“It was also very exciting, wasn’t it?” Lily pointed it out.
Yelena hated to admit it, but Lily wasn’t wrong. Her heart was almost jumping out of her chest, and during that brief time while he was around, every touch felt so much better too.
“It… was! It We still… need to stop!” Yelena did admit it was exciting.
Lily seemed satisfied and pulled her feet back. Yelena could breathe a sigh of relief. Although it didn’t help that she was still too aroused.
“Consider this your punishment for teasing me earlier. Now we both have to wait until later tonight to get some relief.” Lily had a devilish smile on her face as she dug into the slice of cake she ordered.
