Chapter 26 - Carnation 24

Saccharide Heinz

Paris, France: Street 78 (Alley 2)

"Tell me how does it feel? To know that your loved one's heart is breaking because they watched how you try to survive for them..."

I didn't speak. I kept silent because the only thing that I could hear was Raine's pleas.

"You knew my mother has heart problems and you still insisted on letting her watch!!!"

It wasn't my fault.

'Why would you join my group if you already knew that the initiation involves something that your loved one can't bear?' I answered in my mind.

You were the one who sacrificed your mother...

I only followed my rules...

"And now that, this bitch already knew how evil you are then it's her turn to make a choice..."

He placed his hands on her hips and slowly went down on her thighs which made me stare deep into her eyes. I knew she wouldn't give up on me.

"I'm sorry... Saccharide-"

I already knew his tactics so whatever words will come out of Raine's lips will be nothing more than—

"Lies..."

I chuckled which shocked them all. I can't stand up so I remained sitting with my head staring at the ceiling blinding light.

"You can't piss me yourself. So you used others... How pitiful..." I muttered

He laughed like a maniac. You can't always hear his laugh. When he laughs, you know the full red moon was up in the night sky.

"What can I say? I learned from the best. Saccharide..." he smiled, bringing his weapon up in the air. "But the night is not done yet..."

This is shit...

The rainy night that flourished like the tears from Raine's eyes was like the blood and sweat from my wounded skin.

xXx

Paris, France: S. Heinz Condominium

I moaned loudly when Raine's hand landed on my skin.

It hurts...

"I'm sorry... I'll be gentle..."

I bit my lips and tried not to scream because of the pain she was inflicting on me.

"Ahhh! Raine..."

We are on the couch...-

"Raine... Be mild... It's my first time...-"

And she is treating my wounds.

"-It's my first time putting alcohol on wounds..."

"I'm sorry you only have alcohol in your cabinet and an empty bleach bottle" she explained before laughing like an angel. "Better alcohol than bleach!"

She insisted on staying in my house. I watched her as she carefully wrapped my whole body with a bandage and finally tying a cute ribbon at the center of my abdomen.

"Just wait here"

She stood up as we heard the whistle of the kettle in the kitchen. Hurriedly, she placed it on my table after putting a potholder under it so the table would not burn off.

Raine can be a great mother to my children...

She went to my room and grabbed me a T-shirt and a face towel.

"How do you apologize?" I asked out of nowhere.

"Wait. Why?" she asked then approached me before wiping my face with warm water.

"I want to apologize," I muttered.

I heard her giggle from the bathroom, along with some stuff rattling. She must have kept the bandage away.

"To whom?" she asked.

"Well, there's this girl that I— of course, it's you, Ma'am density dense" I chuckled.

She smiled at me and helped me wear my old shirt. Her body was close to mine, so I was able to see her past clothes that night.

"You hear the words from me every day" Raine wondered. "And you still don't know?"

"Well you hear me say 'fuck!' every day and yet you can't say it" I pouted.

"Someday I'll say it and we'll be somewhere when that happens..." Raine said and proceeded to wipe my injured nape gently.

My eyes looked down on her thighs and I blushed when I realize they were exposed to me. She didn't seem to be bothered by this because she was busy taking care of me.

"Raine..."

I looked away blushing. Being a man, I can't blame Phoenix for being turned on by a girl wearing these clothes.

"What?"

She looked down and blushed at the sight of her outfit. Scratching the back of her head, she giggled before reaching for my cheeks.

"Why get so worked up? You made me wear these kinds of the outfit once"

Her smile soon faded and she looked away from me. Something was bothering her and I don't have the memory to remember.

"I'm sorry for all the things that I did to you... I'm a fucking jerk for that... I d-"

"You did it!" she cheered. "But you don't have to apologize."

Goodness! I really did it!

A maniac was capable of apologizing anyway...

She held me in her arms as I felt her lips collided with my cold ones. I can still taste the rusty touch of my blood.

The warmth of her lips soon brought fire unto my wound, it hurt but in the most charming way possible. Seconds past and I saw her smile again. My blood was on her lips too.

Blood Compact...

"I'm sorry... I mean it"

"No... You said that you're pushing me away because you're a danger to my safety... I still believe that the only danger in my life is not being with my gun. And that gun is you, Saccharide Heinz"

She lifted my chin again as she moved closer so she could seal our lips once more.

Her cherry-filled words never failed to take one beat from my heart. This will be the mark of something different. I will have a normal life with Saccharide's true love.

My true love...

At least for now...

My phone rang and we both looked at it.

It's Nightmare's' name shown...

"...What now?"

I muttered angrily. I didn't bother answering the phone because I knew he will only lure me into this another shit again. Just to humiliate me.

"You shouldn't go. Just stay here. I don't want you getting caught up with their damn business again"

I got up and wish I didn't. A pang of pain struck me as I tried to walk into my room to get my clothes to change because they were covered in blood.

"Ahhugh Damn it!"

I felt Raine's arms support me. She placed me on my bed and sat beside me.

"I'll answer it for you..."

Before she could even get my phone, I grabbed her hand and held it close to me. It's like drugs and I don't want to be rehabilitated from it.

"Stay..." she said, "It's your turn to rest..."

She pinched my cheeks while laughing. It was like the angels came down and blessed me with the Holy Spirit.

"I'm sorry that the date had to be canceled..." I said softly, still not used to apologizing.

"Apologize one more time and—"

I cut her off, "Or what?"

She made our forehead touch before whispering, "I'll take you somewhere nice and make you forget about the cruel word..."

All I could think about was her fragrance.

Carnations...

"I'm terribly sorry but I would love that"
