Fall For Me

Chapter 3

* Beatrice

I panicked, I didn't even know what to do with this fragile boy I don't even know the name of-aww look at his sleeping face. I picked him up with his grocery bags and carried him on my back to my apartment. I unlocked my door and placed him on bed with my cat Romeo, Romeo almost immediately took a liking to him. As I looked at his sweatshirt there was blood on it, without realizing it I was starring at his pale torso when blood rushed into my cheeks not knowing that he wasn't warring a t-shirt underneath, as I was taking off his sweatshirt. Running to my closet, grabbing the largest tank-top I could find and pulling it as slow as I possibly could to get one last long look at his body... it was over before i knew it. I picked him up like a child and laid him back on the bed. I placed my dark pink and black galaxy blanket over romeo and the boy. I went to the kitchen to cook food for him and I. I grabbed a pot, some rice, and turned on the stove. Soon after I went to go check on him, he was still asleep. When I got back the pot was over flowing with boiling water "SHIT!" the rice was burnt. I scraped the remaining bit of rice out to give to him.

As I opened my door Romeo ran out, I quietly walked in. As I leaned over my bed to wake him up I ran my hands through his soft, fluffy, onyx hair. My hand went to my side when his eye brows furrowed and he slowly fluttered his eyes open to to see me. " Huh ?" he murmured sleepily, as his eyes closed again. He reminded me of a tired, little kitty. Suddenly his eyes shot open and he backed up against the edge of the bed by the wall. After I explained what happened he stuttered"Th-thanks." As I gave him the bowl of rice. To not seem too pushy I let him eat alone.

Walking back to the kitchen to make some instant coffee, I realized that the pot of rice was not cleaned, I grabbed it and started to scrub at it. After awhile the rice was still there I began to murmur bad words " ldahfls*dhhgl@#%*hg!@*%lahgl*%#@!haah!" As I turned to see the boy in my baggy tank-top. He had a delicate frame yet he was strong, his long skinny arms now looked toned, his collar bones more noticeable than before, as my face started to get heated up i looked away then looked back, he held his arm out too give me the empty bowl. I walked over to grab the bowl when my had touch his, it was warm and soft like a child. I wanted to hold his hand so bad. All of the sudden the bowl smashed into millions of pieces. As I bent over to pick up the shards I sliced my fingers, as I stood up to go to the bathroom he had the most cutest face I hav- why was I thinking about this? My hand is bleeding right now I need to go to the bathroom. As I started walking he followed. A little bit of me was happy that he came. As he opened the door for me I noticed the height difference, my head was at his chest. My chest started to hurt again. As his arm moved, it made his chest go into face, I was caught off guard when I inhaled his sent. He smelt like cinnamon . When I walked into the bathroom I went to the closet to grab the first aid kit. Before I had the chance to open it he put his large, boney hand on it ."L-let me d-do that for you."

" No thats okay, I got this."

" It's my fault anyways." He said looking down, he grabbed my hand ever so delicately and washed it off. I wanted to seem like a girl so I closed one eye to show pain. "S-sorry." His stutter is adorable.

" That's alright." I say with a smile. After he was done, he was still holding my hand and I looked up to see him staring at me. Just then I thought-no, I known that I felt our heart beats were in sync . I don't know what I'm feeling but I hope I could feel it again.

I sleepily open my eyes. Everything's blurry from a sleepy daze. "Huh?" I say tiredly as I look around the un familiar room. I decide to close my eyes again. Suddenly I notice the presence of someone else. I quickly open my eyes and see a strange girl beside me. My throat went dry and once again I lose my words. My first instinct is to get far away. I back up against the wall creating a gap between us. Who is she?! Where even am I?! The girl seems to read my thoughts and explains how I ended up in her home. After she finished talking, she hands me a bowl of burnt rice. " T-thanks" I manage to stumble out. The rice looks unappealing but I eat it anyways. It's my way of saying thank you for her kindness. I take a closer look at the strange girl. She has silky hair the color of coal and dark brown eyes to match. Her skin is light and her frame is strong yet feminine. She looked at me with a sort of comforting expression it helps me relax a bit. I don't know why but for some reason I don't feel as scared.

With a kind smile she leaves me to finish my rice. I begin to observe my surroundings. She seems to be into art for there are many drawings messily placed upon the walls. Her room is grey and white. She doesn't seem to be into color. I would look outside to estimate what time it is but her blinds are drawn shut.

From the other room I hear her cuss. I'm finished with the rice so I use it as an excuse to check on her. I go over to the other room. When she looks at me I notice that her face is slightly pinker then earlier. It's probably just because of the lighting. I tell myself. As I hand her my dish and our hands touch. My heart skips a beat and I suddenly freeze. The dish falls from my hand and crashes into tiny pieces as it hits the floor. "Sorry!!" I stammer out as my face turns red from embarrassment. "I-I'm so sorry" she bent down to pick up the pieces when she grasped her hand, I could see crimson flowing towards her figure tips. She stole a glance at me before standing up I rush ahead of her to open the door, as I slid the door open I got a sweet smell from her hair that smelt like warmth and vanilla. She walked through the door way to the closet and got out a red, plastic box with a white "X" on it. I know all to well on how to take care of wounds, I place my hand on the box and said " L-let me do that for you."

" No, that's okay."

"But this is all my fault ." I say looking at her. I reach out and grab her hand lightly I start washing it out with water. She closed one eye. Oh no I hurt her. " S-sorry."

"That's all right." She said with smile. Once I was done I didn't realize that I was still holding her hand and then I froze when she looked up and we locked eyes. It almost felt like my heart stopped. It's never don't that before. It must because I'm so close to a stranger... But she doesn't feel like a stranger.
