"SWORD, what is your real name??"She asked out of nowhere.
I wanted to take her back home, but she is just so adamant.
"I don't remember"
"Aish....SWORD...you don't have to be a sulky baby now" she whined "it's better if I took you home and then it's not like I can't go alone."
"I have seen how good you are in going alone. And YES MISS LYNN I am not a pouty baby" I warn her
"aww... you are a baby" she giggled and cupped my cheeks
Damn it woman!! How can her touch be so good?
"Dude....." I gave her one last death glare.
"okay okay.." she suppressed a laugh. "Honestly, you were so freaking good today. I was so carried away with the fight. And at one point where he brought the dagger, I felt like crying. Oh god!! Seriously? How can someone do that???" she left a long sigh
I chuckle at her actions. She is really cute.
As my home comes into night, she tightened her hand around my wrist. I look up to see for the first time. She was scare. Her eyes said it all.
In that faint light I could see a silhouette of a man near my house. And it vanished within a blink of eye. It was there, and then none. My mind has to be playing games on me. the far end light of my house flickered on. That man is home.
I grip her hand tight. She looked quizzically.
"do me a favour. Will you? For the next ten minutes, just think of this as some virtual drama. Alright? No matter what happens, or what you hear, you won't say a word. You wont feel bad." I stare right in to her eyes, my voice still hoarse.
She was scared, fear was evident, but she stared and nodded with a small smile.
For the first time, I felt someone interlacing their fingers with mine. I felt warmth and secure. I shake of all of those feelings before I could feel myself being lead towards the house.
"lets go. You need to rest up well" she said walking and gently dragging me with herself.
We both were standing in front of the door and I fumble for my keys when I hear the door unlock. The man with whom I live, unfortunately, shows up.
"this ..." he scowls but stops in the middle when he sees her by my side.
"what a feast to these sore eyes. Looks like you brought a treat home. Not bad. Not bad. I will enjoy it well." He rubs his chest circular.
The man, my mom's husband and my father unfortunately was the worst ass hole ever born. He smelled sour like alcohol and rotten meat. He wore the same old clothes day after day and was a man whore. Wondering how he got so many to fuck with?? Well money says it al. I earn, he spends.
And no, I don't like it, but I am bound by that one promise I made. I am chained. I pay even if I hate it. I pay, no donate, and no throw it to him.
I walk away from him, my hand gripping hers tight. Her eyes were cast down. She was horrified, scared.
"looks like this fresh piece of meat is new in the market" he laughed wickedly. Anger is boiling inside. My grip tightened. If only i could smash his face. I dig my nails into the flesh. It's just I don't feel the pain anymore.
"she is ready to get laid huh??? Nice... bang that ass well" he laughed as if he got the victory. I dig my nails further and walk upstairs dragging her with me.
I am just so helpless now. So hopeless. I CAN HEAR HIM LAUGH. ARE YOU HAPPY MOTHER?? HAPPY NOW?
" she must have suck....."THAT IS IT. He should know his limits. I turn back. He is still smirking. I can see from the corner of my eyes Lynn shivering. My eyes burn. I want to rip his face, now. He laughs harder now. It is so impossible and difficult to stop now. I and my hand right on the wall. The frame shatters into pieces. Silence falls in the room. He scowl at me, giving his worst look he can.
Do I look like I care? I am just so out of control. I grab the large broken frame and throw it right at him. I take a step forward when I see a teary eyed Lynn shaking her head in a no.
Wow! I did it. Viola! It feels so good. I feel so light now.
The frame wasn't heavy to be in the first place. But the way it hit him and he fell really got me thinking. Am I really me?
I take her in to my room and lock the door shut. I loosen my grip over her hand when I realise what I have done. this whole time, this freaking whole time, I dug my nails on the back of her soft smooth palm and holy shit... I didn't even realise. I take a step back and look at her still shivering body. This is all me. I wrap both my arms around her, gently. And hug her. it's the second time, me hugging her. I never ever hugged someone in my whole life, seldom a girl.
It was strange and comforting "its alright. You know? Its over now."I patted her hair. She buried her heed in my chest and I could feel a single large tear rolling down her cheeks.
No matter how worst I am. I never let a helpless cry. But this happened today. And I was one single reason. Anger rose again. I clench my fist, tight. Helpless and confused, why do I feel so many mixed emotions when I am with her? I got to get rid if this trouble soon. At least as soon as I can.
