Reactions To Murder

Part 5

Alina knew she had a problem to deal with, but she simply didn't know what to do... First of all, she knew she had to talk with him, she wouldn't make any excuses though, he could tell the police she supposed but then she would have to leave here, leave him, and she didn't want that. And so, Alina found herself plopping herself down next to Ivan in their usual spot at lunch, he still seemed deep in thought. As soon as he noticed her though, his face paled and his eyes widened, the look of a startled doe. She couldn't help herself. "Are you okay?" she asked. There was no response though as Ivan simply stared at her, as if she were some sort of supernatural being that had come to haunt him. She couldn't stand this, this whole situation had him in pieces and she could see the confusion written on his face. He seemed to stiffen as she wrapped herself around him, hugging himself tightly to herself as if she would never let him go. Eventually, the shock wore off and he seemed to realize what was happening. Ever so slowly, he began to hug her back, accepting her warmth against his. She supposed if he could tell the truth at any time, this would be worth it. She unwrapped herself from his arms, looking up into his wide, violet eyes and pressing her lips to his and pulling him closer to herself by his large, soft coat. He looked so shocked that she almost laughed, almost. She could see that this was one thing that he wasn't expecting her to do. Seeing as he didn't respond, Alina pulled away slightly before looking back into his eyes, feeling trapped there as if she would never want to tare her eyes away from this beautiful sight. It was obvious that he didn't feel the same way, for her, after all, she had blown it hadn't she? "I'm, I'm sorry." she finally stuttered out. Wait, since when did she stutter? She didn't really know, but all of these "feelings" were starting to affect her and she knew it. After all, even if he liked her, he would become a weakness of hers that she would have to kill later anyway, right?
