Ayla Marin

Inside my bones ached with so much anger, I entered the small room that was now at my disposal and then I instantly remembered the moment when those two idiots started that little fight. Like two dogs trying to stake out their territory, I wanted to punch them both in the face; it's a pity the colonel showed up at that strategic moment. I took a deep breath looking at my bags arranged on top of the small dorm bed, I feel homesick at the same time. I released the air trapped in my lungs when a girl with short hair, and an air of superiority entered the room, staring at me in surprise. She stood there for a long time staring at me, or analyzing, the question is; i did the same thing. Finally she approached me extending her hand and saying with her voice not as expressive as her face. ______ Nice to meet you, I'm Lucien. - I stared at her slender fingers for a while, until I reached out and squeezed her fingers. ______ Ayla Marin and the pleasure is mine. - I let go of her fingers and she tilted her head to the side analyzing the mess. _______ Better get this sorted soon, Commander Stentan hates to see rooms messed up. - I nodded in a positive sign to her comment however I didn't answer - she walked to sitting on the bed that belonged to her, bringing up the subject soon after - Are you a friend of Blacke? - I stopped what I was doing, frowning without looking at her, my eyes watched the small window in front of my face. _______ We are great friends, we grew up together. - I went back to folding the clothes in silence. _______ Friends? - She questioned, I turned around looking at the girl who was playing at that moment with a coin, throwing it up and then catching it in the air. _______ Yes friends. - She stopped playing and then looked at me fixedly as if she was challenging me for something I can't even imagine. _______ Does he know about this? - I raised my eyebrow in a silent question - Do you know you don't like him? - She added. I took a deep breath and then I noticed something in her irises, it was jealousy, Lucien likes him, I felt a bitter taste appear in my mouth, my insides turned to fire, as if I could crush her just with the idea that she harbored feelings for he. However, for a few moments I questioned myself; anyway why am i jealous? I took a deep breath and then turned around and went back to folding my clothes however I answered her. ________ Why don't you ask him that if you're so interested? - Lucien snorted irritated with my answer, and then in a burst; I felt my arm being pulled back, forcing me to stare at the brunette with eyes that burned like fire right now. ________ I already noticed that he's that type... - I tilted my head slightly to the side showing an ironic and at the same time threatening smile - He likes to have men at his feet to use them.. - I stared at her fingers in my flesh for a few moments and then I raised my gaze to hers now with fury. ________ I'll warn you only once.. - I brought my face closer to hers - If you don't let go.... - The girl let out a loud and sarcastic laugh. ________ If not what? - She teased squeezing tighter. ________ You'll regret it... - I whispered staring at her irises that were doing the same thing right now. Our adorable moment was interrupted by a loud sound that came from the door, both of us instantly turned our faces watching who invaded the room. Blacke watched the scene stop at the same moment and for a fraction of a second I thought he was afraid to say something, but minutes after he walked in he walked up to the two of us yanking Lucien's hand from my arm. ________ What's going on here? Why are you holding Ayla's arm like that? - He stared at the irises of the brunette who took two steps back. ________ I...-She stopped talking, however, her feet were still taking steps backwards, I took a deep breath and then rolled my eyes at that situation, then I answered his question. ________ She was welcoming me Blacke, she came to give me a hug and I was rude to her - he stared at me trying to find the truth in my words, Livet always knows when I lie - Don't get into my problems, you know I myself I fight my battles; Besides, this is our dorm, you can't break in like that. ________ I came because I want to talk to you. - I let go of the blouse that was in my hand, still squeezing the fabric trying to control my temper. ________ All right, let's go outside for a moment. - He shook his head and then we left the room together leaving Lucien behind. The night breeze was warm. I had forgotten about this tropical climate that Nigrum brought, and I actually missed it; Atlanta has the ability to snow at one end and be unbearably hot at the other. She walked beside Blacke in silence, she looked nothing like the boy I left behind months before, his body seemed more fit; his shoulders were broader and more defined, his impassive expression sounded even firmer. I was staring at him when he turned to me smiling wide for having caught me staring at him. _______ What it was? Do you realize now how much prettier I am? - Smug, I think to myself; I punch him in the shoulder but Blacke catches my fingers in the air too quickly, and then pulls me back, holding my body with arms that are now strong. Too much! _______ Let me go Blacke. - I order staring at him with my haughty face and raised eyebrow. _______ No. - He lowered his face touching my nose with his gently, I swallowed a cake stuck in my throat at the same time - I don't want to let go of you ever again, I did that for many years... - His breath blew directly to my lips at this moment, and for a split second I felt my body shudder. _______ You had time, why only now? - This question made him twist his face for a few seconds. _______ Because I was a coward Ayla, I ...-He stopped and then looked at me as if he could convey all his thoughts to me-I was afraid. _______ Blacke.. - I took a deep breath, this was becoming common - now is not the right time. - That sentence was like throwing a bucket of cold water on him, Livet released me at the same time now holding my shoulders. _______ I made up my mind... - I frowned trying to understand what he meant - I won't give up on you, you can say whatever you want, reject me several times, break and tear my heart, I'll only give up when I hear from you that you love another, then I'll stop... - I blinked a few times processing all that - Don't tell me anything now, just leave me with my hopes. He released me this time and I couldn't say anything, we both stared into the night for several hours without saying a single word, the feeling that sank into my chest this instant was "I can't" and that was for everything.
