Chapter 3 - 1965 June 23 (Midnight)

As the clock kept ticking your every move entranced me.

My heart beats more rapidly with every move you make.

Yet more awaited me in that room than what I expected…

As I walked up the stairs towards the dorms of the performers all I could hear was my footsteps inching closer to her door. I walked down the hallway towards her room and stand in front of the door before i could even knock I see a note slipped under the door, Don't knock they'll hear, I put my hand down and another note slipped under the door, There's a key underneath the potted plant to your right, i checked under the plant and found a skeleton key.

Quickly and quietly i unlocked the door and found Amanda with a bottle of whiskey and two glasses she was sitting at her table and she was wearing a simple white lace nightgown, her hair done up, legs crossed, she motioned me to join her hesitantly I did as I sat down across from her she stood up to pour me drink and she placed gently in front me. 

Then I felt I needed to make my position clear, "I am not here to sleep with you", she chuckled slowly before taking a sip of her whisky, "Neither am I", I smirk whilst I intensely stare into her amber eyes she stares back, with the tension begin to thicken between us i take a sip of my whiskey.

"What do you hope to achieve with me", waiting for her reply i continue to drink my whiskey, "Only one thing…your death", at that given moment she drops her glass on the floor and slides across the table towards and with one swift movement places a knife on my throat with a smile on her face I see neither fear or hesitation in her eyes or her actions I start to chuckle and that turns into to a dark laugh almost as if i enjoy being threatened with a knife and all i can think about is, "How did I find such an interesting person, I must be lucky", her smile is replaced with annoyance, "This is no fun i only agreed to kill you because i wanted to see you beg", when she lets her guard down I take control of her arm and manage to swerve the knife and pin her down to the table.

 I hold her left arm and right arm together by the wrist with my left hand as I lay on top of her my face just inches away from hers i just have to ask, "Why do you want me beg", she stops her struggling to laugh wholeheartedly and after she calmed down she stares at me with interestingly as if she wants to either kiss me or stab me, "Answer me", I tighten my grip on her, she lets out a slight groan of pain, "Because it excites me", Not being able to sense the truth in her answer I tighten my grip even more and she groans more, "Try again", "There's no other answer", she says the pain visible on her face, "I desire to see you vulnerable, weak, pitiful" ,with that she moves her legs from underneath mine and wraps them around my torso and pulls me closer and kisses me with such a passionate kiss i felt like i was getting lost in her touch, as my grip loosens she frees her hands she grabs my shoulders and gets on top of me without breaking the our kiss she traces her hands along my waist she settles her hands just above my belt as i was getting lost her touch with every trail of her finger gave thrills like no other.

Then i felt cold steel against my throat and i couldn't but be shaken back to reality, "Your a good kisser", She smirks, "Thank you for the compliment, you're not a total lost cause either", as she inches the cold steel closer to my neck The burst of the door distracts her from finishing the job

I see my subordinates through the door frame and Amanda turns towards me, "Not fair, why involve other people in our game", jokingly pouting but as my men charged toward her she smiles wickedly before jumping off of me and flying out her window but not before saying, "Thank you for the kiss but I'll be coming back for the kill", she proceeds to jump out the window to the fire escape of the next building.

That was the night I thought I am going to see her again soon.
