Chapter 8 - My name’s...

~back to present~

My uncle, Dan, runs up to me and hugs me so tight that I can hardly breathe. I would never believe that he was my uncle if he didn't show me the blood tests. We are so different in our personalities but now when I know him for awhile I have begun to se how alike we look.

"Hello mr Blue. I'm so glad to finally meet you. My name is Alaric Fulgor." Says the man that I finally know the name of now. Totally ignoring the warning my uncle almost screaming said just now.

"Hello Alaric Fulgor. Excuse my ill manners. I would like you to state your excuse for being here." My uncle says the most polite way he can, though I can se how annoyed he really is.

Ever since he took me in, has he been overly protective of me and even though I'm really thankful sometimes it can be annoying and not really the most wise attitude when your working in a big company. My uncle has fired many that have tried making a move on my these past few months. Many workers are afraid to approach me now, except my maid.

Eva has been helping me a lot with both my work and my needs and since she is in her mid 60s my uncle doesn't think that Eva's a fret. But he has been ordering the others to stay away.

"So I finally know the name of someone that's hiding something from me and doesn't want to explain what." I say with sarcasm in my tone to make him feel more guilty. I want him to crack open and tell me everything he knows, he's definitely hiding something from me.

I lose out of my uncles grip and walk straight to Alaric. He doesn't move a inch. At first he looks lost and confused but then he makes a hot smirk that makes me reconsider me decision. But I still do want to know, as he now pretends as if he didn't hear what I asked just now.

The voice deep inside me tells me to slightly touch him and as on instinct, i do. First his smirk wonders in the air but after, his confidence brightens up like the lights on Christmas and makes me blush.

I can feel my uncles glares on us but it doesn't stop me from touching this man in front of me. He feels so fine and mine. Like my world would break if he leaves my side, my sight and my life. But it feels foolish and cheesy if I would say it out loud.

We don't say a word, just stare into each other's eyes for awhile. I realize that my uncle hasn't moved or tensed a bit. He usually would separate me from a man a long time ago but it doesn't feel like my uncle would do it now. I wonder why...?

Alaric rises his hand to my chin and rises it up to make me look into his eyes again. I didn't realize that I hade started glaring at his chest instead. I feel myself blush and immediately look away as I feel Alaric look disappointed.

As I'm about to open my mouth for my next question the sparks in my mind return. But they aren't blue or purple like they usually are but rather red instead, bright Satin red. I look at him again and feel an emotion that I would never believe was true if I didn't feel it for myself.

Love. I feel love from this man in front of me.
