Atlas

I felt bad, my anger was something I could not control. Lashing out in front of her and threatening and hurting  her was the last thing I wanted to do, but my mind and body kept misfunctioning. I looked down at my hands in disgust, I have never laid my hands on a women, the house was quiet and the only sound I could hear was my brother laughing along with Anisah angelic laugh, well that's what i wanted it to sound like, her laugh was more like a dying seal and I wanted to hear more.

once I got to the back of the house they didn't seem to take notice of me i cleared my throat and only Manny turned to look at me, but my eyes were glued to the pretty girl beside him who completely ignored me.  "what's so funny?" Manny stopped laughing and replied to me "we were just talking about flowers" Anisah began laughing again with Manny joining in, something pulled at my heart she seemed to get along fine with everyone but me. I'm funnier them him I can make her laugh until her stomach hurts. "Manny give me a minute" he understood what I meant and got up to leave giving me a warning glare.

i took a seat beside her, "if your going to choke me can you give me a warning beforehand so I can prepare myself" she always surprises me. "I'm sorry Anisah, I lashed out and hurt you and I'm truly sorry for my actions" I expected her to walk away but to my surprise again... SLAP the left side of my face stings but it was well deserved.  "All is forgiven Atlas we can begin again, your lucky I'm a  forgiving person you don't want to get me angry" she had a frown on her face trying to look angry but she just looked really cute.

I couldn't help the smile on my face, "so what were you two laughing at so hard?" a pink blush lightly decorated her brown skin it wasn't visible unless you looked hard but I could see it clear. "we imagined you watering plants" she was covering her mouth with her hands and I could see her dimples peeking out, this was embarrassing, its true I personally took care of all the flowers here I found gardening peaceful, I wanted to see her smile so I gently removed her hands from her face, "your smile is beautiful " her eyes grew wide and she looked down trying to once again cover her face. I moved towards her until our legs were touching. "I'm also sorry for making you cry, I only ever want to see you smile".

How do I tell her the only reason I took her was because she intrigued me, and I wanted her in my life one way or the other so kidnapping her it was.  Beside she saw me kill someone but still had the guts to be sarcastic and talk back to me. i wanted to know more about her, "do you have any sibling?" she looked up at me her sadness in her brown eyes. "I have an older sister we don't see each other as much because she's always busy working." I wondered if she was always on her own. "what about your parents?"

she paused, "I don't really talk to them we usually clash a lot with each other and don't see eye to eye" how did she cope all on her own? without a family to take care of her.  "  there's something I need to tell you" here I go I was just going to say it, let it all out and speak the truth. "I like your hair" she looked taken a back, " thank you I guess" well done Atlas, is it that hard to tell a girl you are attracted to her.  "is that all you wanted to tell me"  "yes that's all" with that i got up from the bench "come back inside Manny is making dinner tonight". 

fuck finally a normal conversation, but of course I messed up again. he was always right I could never do one thing straight cant even talk to a girl properly. she seeks me out, i want to be near her all the time, why is this happening to me?  Manny was in the kitchen wearing his favourite zoro apron on.

He had a smile on his face while chopping the tomato's, he looks up to me with a weird twinkle in his eyes. what is wrong with him. "ill call you both when I'm finished" I swear if he makes weird stuff again I'm gonna beat him.  Anisah headed for the stairs not even looking at me, "Anisah come to my office in 10"  she turned to look at me, "why"? I ignored her and walked away.


Anisah.

What did I do know? time passed too quick, I was pacing everywhere wondering why he wanted to see me. I got up and walked to his office taking my time. I knocked on the heavy black doors. "come in" his deep voice could be heard from within. it was a dark room and i expected nothing more, there were bookshelves all around and in the middle was a dark desk which had piles of paper scattered all over. Atlas was stood behind his blazer was off and his white shirt was slightly unbuttoned and his sleeves rolled up tattoos covered his big arms in beautiful colours and patterns. He looked up at me, those eyes stare into my soul everyday. "I'm glad you came have a seat" The chair was giant and warm.

He sat across, I could feel the tension in the air, we have had  many chances to be nice to each other but haven't.  "How are you feeling ?"this man is full of surprises "I'm okay manny is so nice to me but I'm still confused to why I'm here" he got up and walked around his desk towards me' "I don't know but your just so weird in a way that I like it" is he on crack? "I'm getting fed up with this, you took me away from my life, my home" i stood up and faced him. "And you just like me, that's wrong, why did you have to take me from my family" something ticked in his face. He stalked toward me, "your fucking family that don't give a shit about you" "what the fuck do you know about my family?" How dare he say such a thing to me ? I could see frustration on his face' " your so called family know your missing and they haven't even called the cops to report you missing so tell me who would you go back home to" I thought too soon about him. I was speechless but also not surprised they would do that.

 "Anisah listen to me, manny likes you here so do the twins" was he actually trying to convince me to stay. ive had enough "And then there's you, always starting an argument with me and then for some weird reason I always catch you starting at me". his eyes widened by my words. He was right in front of me with his hands around my waist squeezing. His face was right next to mine I could feel his minty breath on my skin "that fucking mouth of yours needs to be shut". 

His right hands slid up my neck he gently skilled and moved my head up to look at him, his pupils dilated, being this close I could see the slight scar on his cheek and the outline of his big chest. The tattoos on his arm were so hot to look at, he chuckled "look at you doing the exact same thing". He let go off me and stormed out of the room. i struggled to breath there's definitely something  wrong with me i liked it too much. I have to shake these thoughts out there's no way I like him.
