The Landlord

nine - larissa

"What were you thinking?! You let a man inside my house and more ghastly is that you let that man inside your room?!" I am sitting beside the fireplace while she is walking back and fourth cause of vexation.

I'm pretty sure she is jealous of me. Earlier, she sounds jealous, I am sure.

"Goodness gracious, you don't even know the man!" she added as she stops from walking around.

That's what exactly what Mr. Thompson told me...that I don't know Ms. Weems. As much as I don't want to get involve in whatever lovers quarrel that they have, I need to say what I have to say.

"It w-was raining, h-he was soaking wet..." I tried to explain. I'm very frightened.

"There is a lobby!" she raised her voice to the climax which made me startled, "There is a lobby, Ms. Beischel." she said again but with a more calmer voice.

I sighed, "Ms. Weems, I-I know what I did was wrong but please...I was just being nice. If you're jealous, I—"

"I. am. not. jealous!" she once again rose her voice, "Especially because of him. You don't know what's going on between us so do not make any assumptions. Do you understand, Ms. Beischel?"

She heel sat infront of me so she can face me in balance and it made my heart beat fast.

Fuck....

Oh my God. I am not feeling the same way as before. My usual emotions when I'm with her are; fear, anxious and consternation. But now....I feel hot and it's not right. Why would I feel this? Do I like her? Or I was just driven by the tension and emotions?

This is absurd, Miss Weems!

My view right now is like she is kneeling infront of me. Considering the fact that she is also wearing her red stilettos.

"What are you feeling right now?" she whispered while looking straighly into my eyes

Fuck.

I can feel something in my stomach that I cannot explain. I want to scream, I want to jump off a cliff, I want to kiss her.

I looked away, "N-Nothing." I tried my best to not stutter but then again, the more I do it, the more it backfires on me.

She chuckled softly which made my knees weak. She gave me a very slow and a long sigh.
"Why won't you look at me, Ms. Beischel?" she asked. "And why are you always stuttering when I am around, my darling girl?" My mind is screaming and I'm in a feral state as of the moment.

"I have to go." I stood up as fast as I could but she was able to hold my hand. That was aggresive of her and I know that she realized, that's why she caressed is gently.

She starts to walk near me and I was stepping backwards. I kept walking backwards until I reach the edge of her desk.

Fuck!

She chuckled when she saw that happen. What a Lucifer Morningstar! She stretched her both arms and then she locked it to me, I have no escape. Our body collided as she was leaning into me. Both of her arms are circled around my body.

I'm shaking and it's obvious. I'm close to hyperventilating.

"Relax..."  she says, "Stop making me feel that this is a bad thing." 

"Isn't it?"

YES, IT IS, AYA. It's a bad thing! It's really a bad thing and the worst thing that could ever happen. Oh please, decision makings... I suck at that.
