I could not count how many times he muttered curses before he vanished into thin air.
Meanwhile, here I am left dumbfounded on what had just happened earlier.
My mind was debating whether we really did it or not. Technically, yes we sure did. But it was the fault of our recklessness so in my opinion it was not counted.
I was sitting on the floor, my body was stupefied for a brief time.
I touched the cut on my lip, as I flinched in pain.
When we lose balance and stumbled towards each other, my body went sideward. I don't know what had gotten into him, but he was able to catch me with his arms
This resulted in the two of us falling straight to the hard ground, while I was on top of him.
The impact was stronger than we have calculated. With the event happening so fast, all I could remember was his lips parted a little as my falling body approached his. My poor lip bumped onto his exposed lower front teeth, which resulted in a small cut, as my lips slightly brushed on his.
How should I say this…
It was too painful for a first kiss.
And it's not that I'm considering it that it was my first kiss, but technically yes it was.
So can I just call it a technical first kiss, but it was still not my official first kiss?
Argh, whatever never mind.
"My lady, are you alright?"
I was brought back from my deep thoughts, as someone waved his hands in front of my eyes.
I looked up and saw Butler Wong looking a little confused. That is when I realized I was sitting on the marble ground the whole time.
He helped me stand up as I faintly winced due to the muscle pains all over my body that I got from the impact.
"Thanks, Butler Wong," I said as I tried to stretch my lower back.
I wonder how he is. He must have taken the full blow when he caught me.
Butler brought me to my room and heightened the security as the dusk started to fall.
I immediately fell asleep after that.
When I woke up, I found a paper bag lying on the side table beside my bed.
I examined the mysterious paper bag and found a sticky note.
It's from him.
'Use it, and don't pester me again.'
-Doom
I was about to be touched by his thoughtfulness, but his last statement made me roll my eyes. I can even feel his coldness from his note.
I curiously opened it and was surprised that the content was full of different medicines for various painkillers, and ointments.
At least he was thoughtful.
I did not realize I was smiling already from ear to ear.
I will take it as a yes from him.
I have my friend now.
Suddenly, I heard a loud bang from my walk-in closet.
I don't have a good feeling right now.
I opened my door and was surprised that it was not locked.
As far as I know, even Butler Wong knew my rules that I want them always to lock my door after they went out.
I sneaked my head out, and the house was oddly quiet.
"Butler? Where are you, butler Wong?" I increased the volume of my voice.
But no one responded.
Oh, shoot.
I immediately went inside my room and locked it.
I grabbed my bag, and I rummaged its content. I need to find it as soon as possible.
I always bring this emergency tool inside my bag and brought it wherever I go.
Found it.
I held tight to my weapon, my swiss knife.
I went straight to my walk-in closet, as I positioned myself in defense mode.
As soon as I opened it, I was expecting her to be there, but to my surprise, there was no one there.
"Die, you b*tch!"
My eyes widened with shock, as I turned back, and faced her.
She attacked me with her knife. She almost hit my chest, a good thing I have quick reflexes and was able to dodge it.
She was about to hit me again when I preceded her and was able to hit her arm with my knife.
We tussled on the ground, as I pinned her from it, but she was able to punch me hard in the fact that my head started to feel dizzy, and my vision became hazy.
I clasped my head as I endured the unbearable pang of pain that hit my head. I can hear indistinct noises, and everything was in a blur.
I got on my knees while looking at her slowly approaching my defenseless body. My knife was far away from me, I couldn't reach it.
"How are you, my dear Lily," she said in a mocking tone.
I may not be able to see her face well, but her voice screamed amusement and was truly insane.
She had gone mad spending a decade in prison.
"Aunt, you don't have to do this," I replied trying my best to sound tough, "You can still change your fate, it's not yet too late."
"Are you f*cking kidding me?!" She laughed sardonically, as she picked up my swiss knife, and licked the blood on it like a feisty demon.
"Say goodbye to your useless life, wench. You will follow now your parents in the afterlife," she exclaimed, as she pierced the knife on my chest.
"D-doom…"
