Hakeem
"Anderson…"
He was wearing a plain button down white dress shirt with black trousers with dress shoes, almost like he was going for a date or something. He also had an earthy scent to him mixed with sandal woods and a deep masc element. His eyes were were focused on his shoes and I could smell a small whiff of burning tree or was it weed, I couldn't tell, but most importantly, there was his heartbeat that was beating out of pattern, I haven't known him long enough to study his pattern of heart beat which is unique to every living bean as Isis said, but this was different, it was beating out of anxiousness.
"Are you going to just stand looking down like you got a mole on your face or something or are you going to come inside and stop wasting my time??," My voice came out calm as it is supposed to be and I was glad that it did, it was the middle of February and it was still chilled, Not that it affected me but it was a little chilled outside.
"Nice apartment.." He muttered. He still kept his face down avoiding my line of sight as he looked everywhere but my way.
"How did you know I live here??," I had to ask, this was my personal safe zone where I could move at the speed I wanted to move at without worrying about humans spying on me or anything. The building was high enough and had no opposing building that could rub me off of my privacy, it was that moment where I really needed him to not stand me and just move out of my presence.
"You wrote it on the form when you applied the dummy.." He said finally looking at me but his eyes were a bit red. The white area of his eyes was a dull red and it didn't take long for me to realize that he was high.
"Are you high??," I asked, folding my arms.
"Me..nooo, just hay fever." He smirked at me before a lazily smile stretched his face. He looked and acted slow, almost like he was feeling tired.
"Yeah right.. Do you want to sit down or do you want to keep moving around like a lifeless zombie waiting for a headshot," I asked. He barely nodded before landing on my couch with his full weight. I could have complained but then there was no use complaining about someone who wasn't even aware that he was at my apartment.
"Do you want anything??…" I asked before slapping my hands on my forehead. He was going to ask for something stupid.
"Do you have a chocolate bar??," He asked, he didn't sound demanding or authoritative like he always did. He actually sounded nice, like he knows I don't owe him a chocolate bar. He sounded like a big baby asking for candy and something in my heart tugged. It was a different kind, it left a warm feeling and a small almost unnoticeable smile on my face which I shaked up pretty quick, not wanting to entertain his pride any further even though he was not being his usual self.
I didn't know if I would have any chocolates in my fridge but I was sure I had something like that. Isis bought a bunch of human snacks and candies and other believable items that could make one believe that I was human. I searched the fridge for a chocolate bar, I knew what it was supposed to look like so it wasn't really hard to find. At the end of the search, I found a flat frozen bar of dairy chocolate and it actually smelt nice but not as nice as human blood would taste. The creamy copper taste was delightful to my taste boards. I should have kidnapped a chef from home to cook meals for me for since they all pledge loyalties to the king, he would have sold me out and that was something I didn't allow.
"Do you want ice cream too??," I found myself asking. That was the second most consumed confectionery and I felt I would appear more regular if I asked such a question. Left to me, I would have offered him a glass of pure scorch so his throat could be born a little from the heat it brought along with it.
"Yes please," He replied back and I smiled to myself shaking my head. He got high and got cuter.
Wait, what the fuck was I saying…"cuter"
What the hell was wrong with me…
I picked out a bowl and two spoons, he would be too high to realize that I wasn't taking it with him anyways.
"Heyyy, you are back…" He said raising both his hands in the air exposing his palm and I looked at him weirdly.
what on earth was he doing now…
"Drop the goodie goodie first…" He was barely able to open his eyes yet he looked so enthusiastic for what he was about to do.
"Come on, just drop it, trust me." He egged me on.
"I don't trust Anderson..and you expect me to trust high Anderson??," I asked, looking at him with a raised brow.
"Come on, I will give you a kiss on the cheek if you do it…" He smiled cockily at me, almost daring me to back down but A Horus never backs down, it is why we survived in the first place. Even though I was aging like a normal human yet, I still was better, far better than an average human.
The word kiss didn't really register in my head because I didn't think he was serious. He was a man and so was I, why would he want to kiss me. He looked straight, in fact, he is straight, plus he has had so many scandalous relationships with supermodels from different countries, it's why he was known as the bad boy of the decade.
"Why would you even want to kiss me??," I asked him, dropping the Ice cream and now melting the bar on my glass centerpiece.
"Why??,"
"What kinda silly questions do you ask…" He laughed.
"Because you are cute and your hair smells nice.." He said plainly while my heart went into chaos. All my life, I have never suffered such an imbalance in my body's biochemistry. I was so used to having it all together that I forgot I could react like a human too. My heart started beating faster and I started sweating.
"Do you think I'm cute??,"
"Yeah.."
"Nahh, that's just gay fever, you need some alcohol in your system…"
