Fire Song, Part 3

Hi all, sorry that I haven't been posting lately, I've been kinda busy. Now that I've already done a couple parts of Fire Song, I think that I am going to post one part every Monday, and maybe do some extra parts throughout the week. Just a warning; before you read this part of Fire Song, note that there is some mildly sexual content in this entry. Alright, now let's get started!

I watch Linh for a couple minutes, before she comes and sits down on the bed next to me. In her hand is a bowl filled with a strange blue substance, but I don't question her. Elwin would probably have given me something even grosser.

"Sit still," Linh says."This will make the burns better, but if it touches your bare skin-" I inhale a little too sharply when she says 'bare skin'. Why in Bronte's name did I do that?

"Are you alright?" Linh says, a worried expression quickly forming on her face.

I sigh. "It's nothing. Go on,"

Linh gives me a quick smile before rushing on. "Well, if this stuff touches your bare skin, you could get seriously hurt. So, um, stay still." Linh slips on some light blue medical gloves. "Ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." I reply.

"Good. Now hold still, this might hurt." Linh dips the tip of her finger into the weird blue stuff, and gently aplies it to the base of my burn. She wasn't kidding when she said it might hurt. I even bight my lip a bit, to keep myself from moving.

"Do you want me to stop?" Linh asks polietly.

I exhale. "No, it's okay. Just keep going until you're done."

After a couple minutes, Linh is practically done. She is just about to put the last bit of cream on, when it becomes slippery and starts to slide down the side of my neck.

"Linh!" I practicaly shout, and just in time Linh lunges over me to catch the cream, right before it touches my skin.

"Thank Quintesence!" Linh says. "That could have really hurt you." She wipes the remaining cream off on the side of the bowl, and then finishes applying the cream. That's when I realize where she is. Linh is literally on top of me. Like, on top of me, on top of me, if you know what I mean. Just then Linh looks into my eyes, as if she just realized the same thing I did. She quickly scrambles of the bed.

"Um, a... why don't wait for the cream to do its magic!" she says, rushing. "I'm going to go downstairs and ummm... get some water!" She runs out of the room.

I don't metion that Linh is a Hydrokinetic, and can get water whenever, and wherever she wants; I know how akward that must have been for her. But I won't deny it, If I said I had hate what just happened, I'd be lying.
