In A Heartbeat

Chapter 6

You know how they say it's all good until it isn't? Unfortunately that is my reality. Kane who I thought would be my new obsession has become obsessed with me. Funny how things go huh? It was flattering and to be honest I was drinking it all up  for the first two weeks after what he showed me. Now, he has become a bit unhinged. He shows up to my house at any time and unannounced. Which I felt uncomfortable with for the sole fact I enjoy the comfort of my home knowing I can walk around naked and sing as loud as I want which is something that I can't do now that Kane can just be at the door at any given moment.

The other day , it was a beautiful day and I decided I would go down to the little library store again and of course I bumped into Hermes. To my sudden surprise he was with another girl, she was absolutely stunning if I do say so myself. Apparently she was his lady , I couldn't help but feel a ping of jealousy because I had assumed we had a moment together. Whenever he spoke he tried not to make eye contact with me which I found unpleasant. Why was he acting so strange? I mean honestly it's not like he owes me any kind of explanation or anything of the sort. He seemed to have been taken back by my unexpected appearance.
While in conversation about their fetus relationship I feel see their eyes lift above me , so naturally I looked back and lo and behold there stood a sinisterly smiling Kane. A darkness in his eyes. I rolled my eyes because knowing Kane he's on his bullshit.

" Hello everyone, isn't it just lovely outside" he asks making eye contact with everyone including me and purposely lingering more on Hermes. Hermes seemed so unmoved and his eyebrows somewhat curved in annoyance.

" What are you doing here ?" I ask Kane looking up at him and then back at the awkward couple in front of us. Hermes' girlfriend just smiles and giggles a little while Kane goes on about how he enjoys the sunshine after it's been cloudy and rainy for the past few weeks. None of which seemed worthy of a giggle of smile but hey, I can't blame her because Kane is a man of pure sex appeal. Another thing that surprised me about Kane was that he never really lust over me , which is shocking considering that men always drooled at my mere presence. He gave me looks but he never went any further than flirting. I don't really know whether or not I should feel relieved or a little displeased but his lack of male sex tactics.

Nonetheless, Kane paid her no attention and after 10 minutes of everyone just talking about absolutely nothing of importance , just pure adult conversations. Hermes was the driest one out of all of us. He was not impressed by Kane's existence at all. Hermes gave me a look before he went away with his girlfriend which I come to find out that her name is Isabelle. She was pretty cute , even though I didn't really want to admit it.

" well I'll see you later" I say and walking away from Kane waving a hand good bye.

" Ezra why does it feel like you're trying to avoid me?" He asks.

I stop and turn on my heel. I look at him and just stare at him for a minute before responding. He raises an eyebrow and sucks in his lips which made dimples poke out in his cheeks, he then raises his hands in a " what" kind of way. I never knew he had dimples or maybe I never taken the time to properly examine his looks.

" I feel as though you've gotten attached to me, we don't even know each other like that and I personally don't need anyone attached to me right now in my life" I say honestly. Now shielding my eyes from the bright sun.

" Attached?Hm... so is this something you were afraid to tell me?" He asks me now coming closer.

" Considering I ignore your calls and texts I thought that was a good enough hint" I respond.

" I like you Ezra. You're an intriguing woman, I love hearing your voice and seeing your face. I've come to love seeing your hair in it's curly state messy and huge and your presence brings me peace I simply just can't leave you alone" he says. Now he is standing in front of me and my heart is racing. He places a hand on the side of my face and lifts my chin with his finger. My lips naturally separate, I'm unable to speak for some reason. Almost as if he has paralyzed me.
