TRISS's HOUSE - Novigrad
Yennefer heard a soft knock on her door. She didn't have to guess who was it, she knew it was him. Almost three days passed after she told him to let her go and despite this he showed up again. She really wondered why.
In these three days happened many things. Geralt was trying to manage his thoughts. The only way how he will able to do it was to continue in investigation and getting more clues. But the most importantly he also needed to figure it out how to get Yennefer back. So he decided to start from the beginning where it all started. He came back to the house where Megascope's explosion almost killed them. He was sure that something wasn't making sense there, that he overlooked something and he was right. In the lab he found out a secret door which lead to another room. He went to some table and he couldn't believe his own eyes. There were so many papers with notes about him and Yennefer. Someone knew almost everything about them and this was making Geralt really uncomfortable. He also found an instructions how to build the bomb and on lab's table were remains of the potion which cursed Yennefer. Geralt started to be hopeless because he didn't know how he will find that bastard who did this to his Yennefer. This mage or who the hell he was let some clues after all but nothing useful for Geralt. It was obvious that he was playing with them. Geralt searched the whole room again, he was looking at every detail, every small thing which could gave him at least some clue. But he didn't find anything. After almost four hours of searching for something Geralt decided to leave from that room. But fortunately the luck didn't forget on him that day. When Geralt was leaving he noticed something thrown in the corner. It was an Amulet and it was clear that it belonged to some mage or someone really powerful. Geralt got a hope again. He needed to identify mage's identity by using this Amulet. He knew that only the mages were able to do it and in that moment he immediately knew where his next step will lead. He couldn't be more happier. He finally had a good reason to visit her and he also knew that maybe he would have one of the last opportunities to solve things between him and Yen once and for all. He knew he can't screw it up this time.
So there he was, knocking on hers doors knowing that he won't get any lovely invitation, knowing that she will sent him away again and despite this he was here to try it. After couple of seconds he softly opened the door and entered into her room. He came towards her.
"Why did I owe such an unexpected visit?" she raised her eyes on him. She was sitting on the sofa.
"I wanted to see you." Geralt said calmly.
"Oh, really? Since when you care about my life so much?" she said sarcastically.
"I do care about you, I'm your friend." he stated. It was weird for him to use this word. She was never just a friend for him.
"You're just my next mistake Geralt. Nothing else." Yennefer slowly stood up and then she stepped in front of him. She crossed her arms and she was waiting. Geralt knew that she wants the real reason why he came and that she also won't let him go without telling her. He sighed.
"Fine, actually.. I am here because I could really use your expertise.. and as I see your not busy, are you?" he raised his eyebrow.
"Actually shocker.. I am busy and you really didn't choose a good day for your annoying witcherness.." she smirked.
"Why are you acting like this?" he looked at her with frustration.
"Like what? A nightmare dressed like a daydream?" Yennefer faked her smile.
"I couldn't describe it better." he admitted. He had problem to concentrate when she was standing so close to him.
"Our deal is over. It means we're done. Did you really think it's gonna last forever or what?" she raised her eyebrow. Geralt shaked his head.
"No.. I want to.." she interrupted him.
"You don't have to explain this to me. I've got a long list of my ex-lovers, so I can read you like a book. I know what you want.. you want to sleep with me." Yennefer stated. Geralt was trying to not start blushing.
"Ahm.." he cleared his throat. "To be honest who wouldn't want it..." Geralt looked at her from tips to head.
"Gosh.. this is unbelievable." she rolled her eyes. "Get out Geralt. You're really getting on my nerves." she said strictly.
"But I.." she cut him.
"I said get out." she gave him a death stare.
"Yen, I'm sorry. I didn't want to offend you." he was trying to be polite.
"But you did." Yennefer said without emotions. She started playing with her hair.
"You really want to sent me away?" he wanted to be sure.
"You upset me again.. and you do it very often which really starts to piss me off." she said angrily.
"So you want to kick me out because of this? It's really a small reason why to do it." Geralt stated. He looked straight to her eyes.
"It is.. but I also know you will come back to me each time you leave." Yennefer said confidently. He gave her surprised look. He didn't expect these words from her.
"Well, it's nice that you think that.. I mean that you finally admitted that we're two are something.." Geralt smiled at her. He was really happy that she cared about him. She gave him confused look.
"Okay, wait. You and I.. well there is no you and I. There was only professional situation and I just need to.." he interrupted her.
"See? You need me.." he winked at her. She frowned.
"To be clear, just my own laziness needed you because you're the one.." he interrupted her again.
"I'm the one?" Geralt was teasing her. He started enjoying this situation.
"Can you stop doing this?" she gave him angry look.
"You look adorable when you flustered.." he was smiling from ear to ear. Her mouth almost fell open.
"What? I.. I'm not flustered." Yennefer murmured quickly. She tried to hide her blushing so she changed the topic. "And what the hell are you still doing here anyway? I told you something." Yennefer was trying to act confident.
"And do you think you can always do whatever you want?" Geralt crossed his arms. He decided to be patient with her. After all he didn't have many options how to get her back.
"Yes." she said confidently. He laughed.
"No, my dear. This world doesn't work like this. You can't control everything." Geralt said calmly.
"Pardon me, but first of all I'm not your dear.. and to be clear I can do whatever I want. I can have everything whatever I want.. and I'm controlling even you now. So where's your point then?" she laughed.
"Thank you for your lovely explanation.. I hope your ego is blessed now." Geralt said sarcastically.
"My ego is always blessed.." Yennefer told him with lofty voice. "But when we're talking about quite serious stuffs right now, I want to ask you, how's your heart after breaking mine?" she raised her eyebrow. She started to be very calm. Geralt got surprised again.
"I didn't notice that I broke your heart." Geralt was honest.
"Yes, you did. You shouldn't have say those things which you said. You should have rather stay quiet.." Yennefer was a bit disappointed.
"All right then.. and what's about mine heart? Huh? You broke it too. Many times. By sending me away. I was trying but you always told me to get out. You're even telling me this now. To leave. Because you're too scared to face the truth. The truth that someone really cares about you." he made it clear. He had to tell her this. She was surprised and confused at the same time.
"I didn't need you to come here.. I don't need you at all." Yennefer smirked.
"I didn't tell you to hire me.." Geralt looked at her longingly. She couldn't stand his look on herself.
"For fuck sake just tell me what do you really want Geralt!" she said with frustration and sighed.
"I want to be your friend." Geralt said calmly.
"You know we can't be just friends.." she said without emotions.
"Why not?" Geralt didn't want to give up.
"Why not?" she laughed ironically. "We're quite interested into each other.." Yennefer looked at him unbelievably.
"I don't see it as a problem." he admitted and smiled at her. She sighed again.
"Fine. Then let's be friends.. I'm dying to see how it ends.." she said sarcastically.
"This is not a game Yen. I'm serious." Geralt frowned.
"Everything is a game." Yennefer stated.
"Not for me." Geralt answered honestly.
"No? Then let me show you something.. You're now playing a game too. You're playing with my feelings. But I must tell you another important thing. Love is also a game. So don't you wanna play this one then?" she smiled amusemently.
"No. Thank you. Love will just tear us apart.." Geralt stated. But deep in his heart he already knew it wasn't true.
"You don't know what you want witcher. I could show you incredible things. Stolen kisses or pretty lies. Black magic, madness, heaven or sin. Maybe much more if you would ask nicely.. but you lost your chance. Your mistake.." Yennefer said honestly. She turned her back to him and started leaving from him. He stopped her with his hand and pushed her to him closer. He put his arms around her waist. She didn't protest which suprised him.
"You love playing games with others? Don't you?" Geralt said strictly. They were staring into each others eyes.
"I love the players more.." Yennefer was teasing him. She softly caressed his face. Geralt stiffened. It was hard for him to resit her in that position.
"So will you finally tell me why you really came here?" she looked straight into his eyes. She was too clever, he couldn't hide anything from her.
"I really need a favor from you.." Geralt told her kindly. He was trying to act normally but truth was that he was starving for her.
"To unzip your pants?" Yennefer raised her eyebrow. She was really enjoying this situation. He could feel her warmth breath.
"No.. ahm.." he swallowed. "Maybe one day.." he smiled under his nose.
"One day?" So you already considered my offer?" she laughed a bit. She was provoking him.
"I.. I .." he forgot what he wanted to say for a second."No, I just need your help with something.." he laughed nervously. He was trying to stay focus but he couldn't stop thinking about her, not even for a second.
"Oh, then let me help you.." Yennefer caught his face with her hands and she kissed him on his lips. Geralt returned the kiss even if he knew he shouldn't. They started kissing slowly, he pushed her even closer to himself. Their tongues started dancing in each other mouths.
"We shouldn't do it.." he told her between kisses. He wanted to eat her.
"Then you shouldn't have come here.." she said seductively and she removed his shirt.
After a hour they were laying in the bed next to each other totally exhausted. Geralt was staring at her. Her beauty never stop to amaze him. She smiled at him and caressed his face with her hand.
"I was wondering why this took so long.." Yennefer smiled amusemently. "You're quite good in the bed.." she admitted.
"May I remind you that you was the one who was pushing me away?" Geralt laughed a bit and kissed her forehead.
"That's because I didn't know about your capabilities.." Yennefer was teasing him.
"I'm glad you've enjoyed it." he made a cheeky smile and leaned over her. They were staring into each other eyes.
"I was my lover.." she pressed her lips on his. He kissed her with desire. They got lost into each other.
After couple of minutes of kissing he pulled away from her and looked at her totally in love.
"So back to favor I need from you.. as your friend." he smiled at her.
"You can so easily ruin the moment Geralt.." she frowned and punch him into his arm. Geralt was still smiling on her.
"I need you to examine one Amulet.. It's important." he said kindly but his face was serious. She gave him surprised look.
"Alright, if that's all what you need.. Where you have it?" she asked him calmly.
"I gave it to Lambert. It's safer if he has it." Geralt explained.
"Who the hell is Lambert?" she looked at him confused.
"My witcher brother." he answered calmly.
"Splendid.. another annoying witcher.." she smirked.
"Yen.." Geralt raised his eyebrow and smiled.
"What? I have a problem to handle you sometimes.. but two witchers? That's to much on me Geralt." she was honest.
"I think you will be just fine.." he leaned to her and kissed her gently. She looked at thoughtfully.
"Why is this Amulet so important to you?" Yennefer was serious.
"I will explain everything later. I promise." he told her kindly.
"Don't you dare to not to.." she kissed his cheek. But there was also a threat in her voice.
Geralt's eyes got stuck on her for a while, then he leaned to kiss her again but she put a finger on his lips and stopped him. Geralt got surprised.
"Later." Yennefer stated.
"But.." he wanted to protest but she didn't let him.
"We have some work to do. I will prepare myself and we can go." Yennefer pulled away from him and without any other words she stood up from the bed totally naked and went to her table. Geralt couldn't let her eyes from her. She was heavenly beautiful.
But he was also surprised. He didn't imagine that things between them will end like this. Maybe there was still a hope for them. Maybe he can really succeed with ending the curse and she will remember on everything again.
