Vicnan
" Vicnan. you are too close."
" what? do I make you feel uncomfortable?"
" Yes. and you will say am crazy if I tell you it's in a good way"
" Damn, I want to hug you right now "
Those words, I could not forget does words. The bond between us keeps growing stronger and faster than I thought. She already can sense when I lie and when I tell the truth. soon, she would be able to sense my presence, then feel my emotions. if it gets to that stage then it is game over. I haven't gotten news from Relic and I already had men keeping an eye on Edward. After feeling Asura's presence close to Edward's mansion, I had a feeling that he would be someone around Edward. I also noticed that Edward was playing his part. he had men secretly keeping watch in the area. one of them even rented an apartment next to Bonnie. She may not be too pleased when she finds out but I didn't mind, as long as she is safe.
" Vicnan " her voice echoed in my ear but not as loud as usual. She didn't shout this time. hearing her voice made me smile. no matter how I try the holdback, I just want to see her, to be with her " Vicnan " she called again and seemed excited. it's been two days since her interview. I guess it turned out well.
I teleported only to find myself in her bedroom, with her standing by the bed. She flinches at the sudden sight of me, I guess she still hasn't gotten used to the way I pop in. Grins, almost laughing
" guess what?"
" You got the job," I said
" yes " jumped in excitement " I can't believe it.... yes I can believe it... finally "
" I don't get why humans get excited about labour " I spoke honestly. Humans are complicated
" hey " she scolds " you should say congratulations like a normal person "
" that is why I am not a normal person " I reminded. Cleo smiled at me warmly in silence " What?" without a word, she began walking in my direction with seriousness before I could react she had her arms wrapped around my shoulders, and our bodies collide. she hugged me. like she promised. immediately I melted into her touch, that crazy electricity between us.
" Thank you " she whispered into my chest. her warmth, her breath, her scent, her perfect body. I wanted it instantly, I wanted to claim her. I want to have her hold me like this for as long as forever. I hesitate, I fear if I hug her back I would want more of it. the other day I joked about her hugging me, I didn't know she would really keep her word. " won't you hug me back " She lifts her head to look at me with a frown "My toes are killing me " I smiled, realizing she had to be on her toes so she could reach me.
I wrapped my arms around her, relieving her stress. She was perfect in my arms and it feels nice. " Vicnan?" she calls
" Yes "
" I like this. I like you holding me like this," she says her heart out, taking me by surprise. This lady doesn't know how to hold back, both then and now. I wanted to say the same. tell her that I like this as well but no. I won't
" I see you have fallen for me already " whispered to her ear, " I thought I warned you not to "Hearing this. she pulled away with a frown
" you just had to ruin the mood " walking to her bed. it took me a lot not to show my frustration. why did she break the hug? why did she walk away?
" so is that my reward " with curiosity in my tone, trying to hide my non-satisfaction
" no "
" ok " pleased
" I am taking you out for dinner," she says and all my hopes drained
"Seriously? "
" I don't care if you are a fan of human food or not. I am taking you for dinner " she smiled "Now leave the room so I can get dressed "
*********************
we sat across from each other at the table in an outdoor restaurant. She claims that watching the stars while eating is a good combination. I don't really enjoy Human food but being with her made the food taste better.
we finished and talked about random things. Cleo laughed at almost everything which made me smile.
we were suddenly taken by silence, a comfortable one. Neither of us said anything. I watched her, watch the sky for a long time " It is a beautiful sight " she says in a low tone while referring to the sky
" Yeah, it is " I on the other hand referred to her. suddenly she drops her head to look down at me.
" Vicnan.... Tell me about yourself " an unexpected question
" I don't talk about myself, " I said hoping to quench her curiosity. it was best she knew nothing about me. there are high chances she would hate me if she knew me
" why?"
" Let us leave it at that " trying to put an end to the conversation "Tell me about you instead "
"Nothing is interesting about me " she shrugs
" that can't be true.... tell me about that Phillip guy. your ex " The mention of his name made her unease and I noticed. " or if you don't want to, you...." she cut me off
" We started dating in high school " she began "Back then he was in his final year while I was in my semi-finals " she smiled " We had a wonderful relationship. His friends called us the perfect couple then, He was...." hesitate " my first love, loving, caring and protective and very jealousy..... he always had issues with me hanging out with his friends, says he doesn't trust them "
" I agree with him there " I pointed out and she rolled her eyes in response
" At some point, he became overprotective in a scary way. he didn't like me hanging out with friends in general, sneaks into my hands just to be sure that I didn't have anyone around and hated it when I go to parties.... but I never read anything to it. I just took it as the love of an overprotective boyfriend. " she reached for her drink and took a gap from it " hh " sighed " Then he graduated and got into college..... finally I had space, that is what I thought..... he started acting strange, calling randomly to ask where I was, always suspicion of my movement, he shows up at the time one list except, even had guy spy on me " she carried a shock expression while I smile awkwardly, knowing I also have people watching over her " he became possessive and aggressive"
"Did he hurt you?" I asked with a frown and got a silent response which said it all
"That was the period I found out my mother had cancer and has been keeping it to herself..... I began to spend more time with my mom and part-time jobs and had no time for us again but he did not understand. He believed that I had fallen for someone else. I got fed up with his nonsense and broke up with him " she pause... " giving myself a death wish " She was no longer comfortable will the conversation and I noticed
" Let me guess. he began to stalk you, using violence whenever he gets the chance "Cutting the story short and she nodded "You took the case to the police?" she nodded at my second question " Then why is he still alive?" I asked with a confused tone. wondering if the law didn't do anything about the matter, surprisingly she found it funny
" You are crazy Vicnan " smiling " He can't be sentenced to death for stalking, he didn't murder anyone"
" but he hurt you " I reminded
" the law doesn't work that way Vicnan. but anyways, he was arrested. I am assuming he just got released.....Dating him became one of the biggest mistakes of my life "
" I should have killed him. " he hurt my woman and I spared his life. why? " he doesn't deserve to live " trying not to show my anger but I knew she could tell. She stared at me with those eyes. those loving eyes
" Vicnan " called
" Yeah "
" don't say things like that to me " spoke in a very calm tone " I may really fall for you " taking me by surprise
" Pardon ?"
" you told me not to have a thing for you..... why won't I, with all these stunning looks, beautiful eyes and wealth... It is hard for a lady not to fall you you " she says boldly " If you say things like killing someone for me, I will actually fall for you and I am not the type that holds back "
" Yeah... that I am fully aware " still in shock but smiled "Don't fall for me... it is for your own good "
" Why..... will loving you kill me?" her question got me speechless once again
" just don't " ignoring the question
