The Red Bride

Chapter 4: My Soldier of Darkness

"I was not expecting you to be this early.", I can see the surprise in his eyes.

"I was expecting you to be dressed by this point of time, Sir.", my English teacher is kinda embarrassed when he saw me at his doorsteps that early Saturday morning. He kept staring at me for a couple of moments, maybe he is not used in seeing me in slippers, shorts and sleeveless shirt.

"You look like a hot school girl. You look simplier than usual."I like it when he give descriptions which is devastating yet sweet.

"Aren't you inviting me inside?"

"Come on in. Sorry. Please bear with the room, I had some friends last night and we had some drinks.", the house has been raped. Books scattered around and stains of wine, I guess were on the floor.

"I bet you had some kind of fun, the house is wrecked."

"Yah, I thought since it's a Saturday, you will be late."

"Oh, if you need sometime for yourself I can come back later.", I headed back to the door and he came after me and gripped my right arm.

"Please don't go. Take a seat and let me finish picking the litters, please?", he is really cute when he says please.

"Ok.",he let my hand go and I went back to the couch and made myself comfortable.

"If you don't mind me asking, what made you change your mind and appeared in my party?",he moved in front of me and seated.

"I don't know. I just sensed that you will be happier if I came."

"Funny. Are you sure?"

"At least 93 percent sure. Have you taken your breakfast?"

"Yah. I had it before I came to see you. ",and besides I am not after the food,I am after being with you. I don't have the courage to say that so I just kept the idea on my mind.

"Ok."

"Rafael, do you have some kind of...."

"No, Karmilla. I don't have a girlfriend."

"Yah I know. I am not asking about a girlfriend, are you into someone,I mean a crush."

"Yes. You know Ms. Fitz, I think I am liking her.",what? That ugly bitch!!

" Really? Beatrice? She doesn't suit you! She is old fashioned, conservative and ugly. ", I am so disgusted by the idea that my crush likes an old fashioned teacher.

"Don't be so judgemental Karmilla. She is nice and besides she is beautiful."

"Your taste is disgusting and besides someone else suits you, another someone who is more classy, more sophisticated and more pretty. "

"Who is that someone Karmilla?"

"Dah!Are you some kind of blind? Me of course! Who else could it be?",Oh my God! Did I just say that?

He looked at me and silence filled the air. His eyes again for the nth time pierced my humanity, his breath filled my senses, his humanity coliding with mine. It feels like I am a leading lady in a movie where we are the only characters.

"Are you sure that I suit you. A beautiful and young lady like you?",his voice so soft that it seems like he is flirting with me. He moved closer to me as if he was examining my senses.

He moved closer and held my face.

"God, you are so charming. How I wish I can have you, everything you say makes me want you more."

"Why? I am no one's property.", I moved closer to him and gently kissed him. It feels like heaven, the feeling when finally a little girl had her first pink bag.
