I'd like to give a small warning out for the end. It's a bit kinky (forgive me, I can't seem to resist). For the record, I do love mangoes and have nothing against green (you'll know once you read it...) I don't own anything! Enjoy! (and then review!) Much luv and thanks!!
At the table sat only three, DG, Cain and Azkadellia. The Queen and Ahamo were away on what they liked to call royal business. Glitch and Raw had found themselves consumed with their own lives on this night and found no time to dine with their friends the way they wished.
"Try it DG. It's good." Az held out a piece of the fruit they were given for dessert.
"No." DG made a face as she stared at the foreign food that rested between her sister's fingers. It resembled a mango, only there was much more juice and the skin was smooth and an ugly faded green color. DG recalled on how much she hated mangoes.
"But it's good. I promise it is." Her face pleaded along with her words.
"Hah! The last time you said that it was just the opposite." She shuddered as she reflected on the last time she was bold and tried the different foods of the OZ. What had appeared to be an appetizing, flaky pastry turned out to have a repulsive flavor and was far too dry. The time before that she tried a candy that had an intriguing spicy flavor. It would have easily become DG's favorite if it didn't begin to fizz while it was in her mouth. She remembered how hard Cain laughed as he confessed that he hated the candy as well and that he simply did it to see her reaction. She didn't talk to him for three days after that one and she began considering living off of apples and water.
Once more DG's face contorted, there was no way she would trust her sister when it came to tasting new things. Their taste buds obviously had different preferences.
"Cain. Tell her something. Tell how her good it is." The platinum blond man merely shrugged. As usual, his eyes gave away the answer. He'd learned to steer clear of the two sisters' affairs. Getting involved always meant picking sides. Usually it was DG's, in his mind, despite being younger, DG was sharper than her sister.
"Oh you two are so stubborn. One doesn't want to try anything. The other doesn't want to do anything." Her hands flew in every direction as she monologued. The chair scraped across the floor and she made her way out of the large dining room continuing her wild speech.
DG and Cain sat quietly laughing to themselves about the outburst that had occurred before them. After a few moments of contemplation, Cain turned to DG.
"You really should try it. It's good stuff."
Again DG allowed her face to reflect disgust. She stared down at the plate, watching the thick fruit juice run in slowly different directions. The smell had wafted into her nostrils, filling them with a sweet, sugary smell. Still, as mouth watering as the scent was, DG couldn't bring herself to consume what sat before her.
"Staring at it does nothing. Stop making a big deal out of it DG. Just try it. It's not bad at all and if you don't like it you never have to touch it again."
"Oh sure, you and Az will probably just find something else to stuff down my throat." DG pouted slightly and Cain giggled, both recalling the candy incident.
With a wide smile he said, "You're being a baby DG." Taking a fork into his hand he stabbed at the fruit. "Here, try it." The words were more of a command as opposed to a suggestion.
Hesitantly, DG took the fork from his hand. Once more the sweet smell filled her nose. She took a bite of the bulky cut fruit and slowly began to chew.
Meanwhile Cain had taken it upon himself to move closer to her. Her deep blue pools focused solely on the food in her mouth, she hadn't noticed the movement. A swallow followed the long seconds of chewing. Upon returning to reality, DG took notice of how close Cain suddenly was. Her lips, however, stood still. Her eyes stared at him, unsure of what to expect. His lips, on the other hand, had a mission. He got close to her and with the tip of his tongue, licked a small drop of fruit nectar that found its way right below DG's lower lip. He followed the action through with a soft kiss. DG lips had immediately found their purpose as she deepened the kiss. His tongue glided along her lip, taking in the remaining juice that still lingered there. He could feel her breath get caught in her throat and he smiled contently against her.
Cain pulled back slightly, a bit dazed and confused as to why exactly he had kissed DG. What could cause a man to do that over a piece of fruit was clearly beyond him. However, confusion did not mean regret. It never did. On a regular basis he found himself kissing her with a reason that could not be put into words. Once he made the mistake of trying to explain how he felt, it turned into utter embarrassment. DG swore that Cain was so nervous she could hear his heart fluttering against his chest. The silence that followed their kisses then became golden and reflective for them both. No words were allowed simply because they weren't needed.
"So…?" His lips took no form, they didn't have to. His eyes smiled for him in the most crystal shade of blue imaginable.
A crooked grin found its way onto DG's face as she half-whispered,
"I think I found my new favorite fruit."
