LONE: The Journey Beyond

Chapter 4: Aimee Solace.

The door opened.

What came out was a woman; she looked around 27 to 28 years of age. She was wearing a tank top and revealing shorts.

Reven felt as if he were looking at an angel as his jaws opened wide.

Her face looked as if God had taken extra time to make it!

Her indifferent eyes, her lovely kissable lips, her big towering breasts showing their glory, her straight belly, which had small outlined abs that didn't look ugly at all but added to her beauty, her bountiful ass, which could evoke lust in any man, and her long, beautiful legs made Reven think that she was some kind of model.

The lady was the definition of a perfect woman.

"Hey there, Aimee... How are you?"

Her indifferent eyes had a change in them as she looked at Aarav. She cutely said in her heavenly voice, "Long time no see, uncle... I am good. Why are you here?"

She looked down at Reven and asked.

"Who is this kid?"

"Well, about that..."

"Come inside and then talk." She invited them in.

Reven went inside the house with the old man and sat on the couch while Aarav and Aimee went to the kitchen.

When Reven asked Aarav about it, Aarav said he usually helps with cooking whenever he comes here. Reven felt like Aarav was lying but ignored it as he felt it was the man's personal matter.

While at the kitchen, Aimee looked at Aarav inquiringly; his lame words before made him look like a fool. Aarav finally said, "You have grown up, kid... When I last saw you... You were just 23. Rafael would be happy to see you all grown up."

"Uncle, come to the point already."

"About the kid... He is family to me."

"What? When did you marry? I also don't remember you dating someone, and you don't go on one-night stands, do you?"

"Stop it, Aimee... As if I can ever do that, not after being a friend of your father."

Silence followed.

"You are exactly like your father. That bastard never smiled at jokes and never broke rules." Aarav smiled sorrowfully as he looked at his so called nephew.

"Now about that kid, I adopted him... And he is a special case." Aarav then proceeded to tell her about Reven.

After half an hour, he ended his story, then looked at Aimee and stated, "He needs help... Please help him."

After a few minutes, Aarav walked out as Reven looked at the man and said, "Listen kid, I have to go now. She will take care of you from now on until I come back."

Reven was left flustered while Aarav vanished. He really started to consider that the old man had a few of his screws loose.

Soon the beautiful lady came out and said to Reven, "I am Aimee... Aimee Solace."

"Reven… Reven Greh… I guess."

"Food is ready; let's eat, Reven."

Hmm.

The atmosphere between them was getting awkward as they silently ate their food. After finishing the food, Aimee finally said, "Tell me about yourself, Reven."

"I think the old man did that before going out."

Aimee was surprised by the boy's intuition, as he was just 3 years old.

"I heard you wanted to train for the Special Forces. Are you serious about it?"

"Yes."

"Kid, you are just 3 years old. I think you should reconsider."

"No, I am serious." The boy cut her off.

"Well then, I will leave it at that... It's not time to make that decision anyway."

"Okay."

"Now then, let's talk about business, shall we? I will be your teacher and your parent from now on, which means you will learn what I teach you. Understand."

"Yes ma'am."

"You can call me Aimee... You will sleep in the above room; there is a bathroom attached there too, so it won't be a problem."

"Got it, well..." Reven looked as if he wanted to say something.

Aimee noticed it and asked him to say what the problem was.

"I don't have clothes with me. The old man forgot about that, I think."

Aimee froze and looked at Reven silently for a moment. Reven also looked at her… In the end, they…

Hahaha… Haha...

Started laughing awkwardly.

Thus started Reven's life with the beautiful lady. It was yet to be known how this stay would affect Reven's future.

-----

In the morning, Reven would wake up, do meditation, and go for a run. After that, he trained in various martial arts techniques with Aimee.

He would then help Aimee with breakfast, and then Aimee would teach him various subjects, day-wise. They were related to History, Geography, Economics, Politics, Math, Science, and Languages.

It could be said that the kid was really hardworking, as he always tried to concentrate whenever she taught him anything, and he would get it easily.

A genius with the will to work hard indeed!

In the afternoon, Aimee would teach him behavior, some day-to-day skills, mechanical skills, dressing sense, and a few other things that were essential for living.

In the evening, they would practice the use of various weapons. It varied from close combat to long-range weapons.

After that, they would watch TV together while having dinner. After that, they would go for a nighttime walk and then go to bed.

This was Reven's life, which continued for the upcoming years.

Soon, about 2 years passed.

On one morning, Reven could be seen reading some magazines as he frowned and asked Aimee, "Why am I even reading this? How do you be cool in front of girls? What is this s*x thingy? And this lame title, 'Playboy'. What is the use of it anyway?"

"You will understand what a boon you are getting when you grow up, kid."

"Huh! What is that supposed to mean?"

"You are my student, so you have to be perfect in everything... And being famous with girls is a must with your face. I don't want you to end up becoming an edgy, introverted idiot, do I?

As for the s*x thingy... errr… It's what grownups do when they make babies."

"What?" The kid was flabbergasted and continued, "Then why is it written like it's for pleasure?" As he pointed the text at Aimee.

Aimee blushed slightly and said, "They do it for pleasure too... err... err... Babies are just the result sometimes."

Hmmm.

*Ding* *Dong*

The doorbell rang.

"It seems Vera is here." Aimee said cheekily.

Reven's face lost its color as he imagined what kind of dread he would have to face today.
