WITCH'S HEART

Chapter Five

Helen couldn't sleep a wink that night. She was so worried about Marvin. Where he was, who he was with.

She had her PJs on. One really special to her,as Marvin had bought it for her on their two months anniversary and she still had it. Anxious about
Marvin's safety,she sent him a voice message apologizing, and telling him how much she missed him,even though it'd just been a day. She broke down in tears begging for him to come back to her.

She sent it with shaky arms and laid her head on the pillow to sleep. Her eyes soaked with tears.
Tania laughed hysterically, listening to his girlfriend's voicemail. “Pathetic little twerp!"She said dropping the phone on the living room table, but not before deleting the voicemail. Then, went ahead to delete the number. Earlier that evening, she'd erased his memories of his friends,his girlfriend and family if he still had any.
Marvin woke up hours later with no recollection of the last few hours. He scanned his surroundings but none was familiar to him. He heard the sound of something sizzling. He got out of bed,took a short from the chair next to him and made his way into what appears to be a “kitchen".
“Oh, you're up early!" Marvin smiled nervously. “What are you doing?!"
“Making steaks! take a seat and I'll serve!" Marvin did as he was told,as if in a trance.He picked up the glass of water in front of him and gulped it all down in one go.
“What happened last night?!" He asked, stratching his hair in confusion.
“Well, you'd an accident,you were unconscious and now, you're here!"She said, chopping up a weird piece of meat but Marvin was too tired to bother. “You sure take your time in there. You need help?* He asked.
“No, the meat's just hard but I can get past it. I always do!". Her voice frightfully tensed. She chuckled and he joined along. It took her about ten more minutes to finish the cooking. The aroma of meat made Marvin's stomach wanting.
“You're a really great cook,uh!"he complimented her as he cut a piece of meat and cut a piece of it into his mouth. “It tastes old though but it's alright!" He said pulling a little hair strand and continued eating. Tania stared at him,her fork standing on her steak. “But you like it, don't you?!"
Marvin nodded, his mouth full. He knew what he said might have hurt her feelings.
“You did great, Tania
Welldone!" Tania forced a blush and Marvin took a small drink of his red wine.
She rolled her eyes and began to eat. I hope you choke on that old man's bone, she mumbled.
“So, Marvin. Tell me about Helen.Who was she?!" Tania asked, while chewing. Marvin gulped his saliva nervously. “Never heard of her!"he said, taking another helping of steak into his plate.
Tania grinned,the spell worked.
“Really,did you steal something of hers?!"Marvin immediately gave her the eyes. “I've no idea who you're taking about and let's not talk about this!"
He stormed out of there inti the bedroom. “Damnit!" she swore banging her fists on the dinner table.
Guess, he's a tough cookie,she thought,wonder what else he's hiding.
She smirked and continued to devour the poor old man,now crisped and fried like meat.
