I looked straight ahead and squeezed the steering wheel harder, thinking to myself, do I look like a driver now?
I gave her a sideways glance and said, "Miss, what's your name?"
She gave me a strange look and suddenly burst out laughing. I couldn't take my eyes off her smile. It seemed like my heart wanted to reach out and feel its warmth. I suppressed my gaze from her with great difficulty.
She stopped laughing and said, "Arina." I looked at her angelic face and heard again, "I'm Arina."
For a second, everything seemed to stop—my breathing, my mind, everything. The only thing I could remember was that I was drowning in her seductive green eyes.
**
Suddenly, a cold palm covered my eyes and a sweet voice whispered, "Guess who?"
When she approached me, I smelled a sweet and seductive fragrance around me. I touched her hands—they were much softer than those of other girls. When her seductive voice echoed in my ear, I smiled and said, "You love making me wait, don't you, Arina?"
She giggled and replied, "How many heads do I have that I will make you wait?" Her tone was sweet and teasing.
Her voice was so sweet that anyone would fall in love with her. Rather, I'm always afraid when she leaves me.
"Are you mad at me, honey?" Arina touched my neck and slowly lowered herself to my chest. I closed my eyes. Arina always stopped me like that.
She kissed my cheek. Her reddish lips were very soft, and a sweet smell came from her body.
"Arina, your fragrance," I said, taking a deep breath. It was intoxicating.
"I love you, Arina," I confessed again and made her sit on my lap.
"How can I be angry with you?" I asked her.
Nobody can. It is impossible for a human being to be angry with her. I looked into her green eyes, which were dazzling.
Arina gave me a seductive look and wrapped her hands around my neck, "Let's get married."
What? I was happy but even more surprised. Because for the last two months, I had been pressuring her to get married. Arina always told me that she didn't want to get married soon.
I was surprised and asked her, "What happened to you suddenly?"
Arina touched her lips to mine and pushed me to the ground. I tightened my grip so she wouldn't fall. We fell to the hard ground.
At the end of class, we often came to this forest next to the school. She always chose this kind of secluded place. I was lying on the floor and she was on top of me.
"Don't you want to marry me, Zoe?" Arina asked me sweetly.
I touched her cheek and nodded. "Do you have any idea how much I want you?"
Arina smiled at me and leaned over. Her soft, cold lips touched mine and then slowly moved down to my chest. I tried to stop her, but I couldn't. I immersed myself in the moment. I wanted our first time to be special, but I couldn't help it. I gave myself to her. At that moment, I felt like I was lying on soft cotton, and a sweet moan floated beneath me.
The sensation of her cold skin against mine was both thrilling and disconcerting. There was an otherworldly quality to her, something that both drew me in and set my nerves on edge. But in that moment, all I cared about was being with her, feeling her, loving her.
As we lay there, entwined on the forest floor, I felt a profound connection with Arina. Her green eyes bore into mine, and I saw something deep and ancient within them. It was as if she carried the weight of centuries, and I was just beginning to glimpse the depths of her soul.
Two months ago...
"My name is Arina," she replied. I nodded and tried to start the car, but I could feel her gaze on me. My hands were shaking from nervousness. I couldn't even get the key into the ignition.
Zoe, come on. Why are you so nervous? You've hung out with plenty of girls, so why are you nervous today?
"You okay?" she asked me. I smiled at her and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm absolutely fine." I finally managed to get the key in and started the car. Thank God.
It was dead silent. She wasn't talking, and neither was I. But my heart didn't want to listen and I couldn't concentrate on driving. Her aroma was making me crazy. I stole sideways glances at her, careful not to let her notice. Through the rearview mirror, I admired her features, which were wonderful. The more I looked at her, the more fascinated I became. Are you an angel?
But suddenly, Arina spoke, "Zoe."
Hearing my name from her mouth, I was surprised. I was more impressed than surprised because I had never heard such a beautiful voice before, and no one called me the way she did.
I stuttered and said, "Y-Yes, D-Do you need anything?"
She looked into my eyes, and I could feel her confidence. I couldn't maintain eye contact with her.
She asked, "Where do you live, Zoe?"
I was happy because I had been trying to talk to her. So, I said, "I live here too, and your direction and mine are the same."
"I see, then you are a student, right?" she inquired.
I nodded and asked, "You are a fresher, right?"
She chuckled and turned her face to the other side. "Hey, are you?" I asked her again.
She replied, "You are so impatient, Zoe. Relax, you will know soon."
She was really a tough girl. But suddenly she said, "I'm not tough, though."
What? I stopped the car and stared at her. Can she read my mind? I only thought about it, but how did she know?
"How did you know what I was thinking?" I blurted out.
She started laughing at me, and I paused, enjoying the sound. What if I touch your lips with mine, will you let me do that?
No, no, what am I thinking? But I wish I could touch her reddish lips.
Abruptly, I came back to my senses when I heard her voice.
"Actually, no I can't. But I wish I could. Then I could tell what's going on inside of you," she said seductively.
My heart was racing. Am I losing my mind or what? I moved my gaze from her and looked at the road, trying to regain my composure. I controlled myself and started the car.
"Zoe, we are in the same college. Will you show me around your city?" she asked.
I gulped. How can I? I'm literally nervous now. If I mess up with you then...
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Can you?" she pressed.
