The Raven Within
The tea is ready on the table. I am not working today because I took a day off to attend Olivia’s wedding. She is my wife’s best friend. I am not interested to attend this wedding. The only best thing about my life is my kids. Rohff and Duci are ready and excited to start. Felicia is the perfect wife material that every man needs; I am blessed to have her but I am not that happy; I agree my expectations are little higher. We reached the venue. I parked my car a little far away because I hate people crumbling to take their vehicles later that evening. There were many people around and I took my daughter to one of the fountains and we were taking pictures. As I looked around, I saw three women chatting. I took another picture with my daughter. Felicia came to me and she told she will talk to someone named Rosy; I did not care who Rosy was. My son is still playing with the other kids there at some distance. I was bored. I thought everything sucks. Something exciting then happened. A teenage girl probably 17 but I was quite sure she could never be more than 19. The girl’s lips were so seductive. For some reason I could not take my eyes off her. She was wearing a big ear-ring but the way she walked did not call for attention. I feel she plays it lowkey. A few minutes later, she looked at me staring at her. I smiled but that moment I felt relaxed. She did not smile back but she avoided eye contact. It did not last too long. She looked at me trying to act cool. Then I thought it was not appropriate to look at her for too long. So, I walked a few steps away from that place. I returned to my wife. I felt bored again. 15 minutes later, I saw something familiar approaching me. I recognised it was her. But this time she was expecting my attention and I gave her. She smiled at me. Now things started to escalate. She came closer. The closer she came towards me, I felt little uncomfortable, my heart beat went little high but she moved further and started to move away from the crowd and quickly reached one of the curtains hanging there. She was the only girl behind the purple curtains and my eyes were looking at her standing like a doll. She brought her hands together and held it together. Her cheeks were blushing. I told my wife I will be back in a while; I went closer to her. When I reached the curtains, she got scared and moved a few steps back. We both saw each other straight in the eye. I felt her warmth. It was as though I went inside her body and electrified her heart to beat faster. I asked her name. She did not say one word. I decided not to give up this moment. I asked her if I can hold her hands. She gave her beautiful hands. I held it. I started holding her left hand in a way that could have been very strange to her. I rubbed my hands over her fingers. I felt like I was communicating something more effectively than words. In a world of lust, words do not matter. I did not feel any kind of denial on her side. Without a doubt, I directly kissed her on her lips. Well at this point, I did not think about Felicia. And I would say I never got this excited for kissing even my wife. I needed more. I did not show any concern if she was comfortable to kiss me. it just happened and I looked at her face. She looked at me shocked and ran away quickly. I did not try to stop her. I found my phone vibrating. Felicia was ringing for a while. I picked up and told her I will be back. I was happy with the adventure and tried to find the girl I kissed. She was not there. So, I tried the other way around. I told my wife that someone at the crowd looks like my boss. I asked them to wait for 15 minutes at the entrance. I went looking for her. This time I caught her at the fountain playing with Rohff. It seemed as though she liked Rohff. I asked her name again. This time she answered. Her name is Beatrice. I knew it was time to go, only 10 minutes left. So, I told her I have to take Rohff back with me. She smiled. Her face with dark brown eyes, in her fancy dark blue dress. She looked like a barbie doll. Every time I looked at her features and her body, several impulses run through my brain like throwing pictures of myself having fun with her naked body. Sometimes, it gets difficult to process which is more exciting. I started walking with Rohff away from her. Somehow, I had this naughty expression on my face kind of smirking. I was completely blown away by Beatrice. I reached the parking lot. I heard my wife calling me again. I sent Rohff to guide my family towards the parking lot. Rohff jumped and quickly ran towards Felicia and my daughter. After a while, I felt little dizzy like being drunk but I thought I was okay. It could be the atmosphere I thought to myself. Felicia kept talking and everyone got inside the car. I started driving. I could not follow what my wife was telling. I just nodded to everything she said. It started raining and I was rushing to home. My mind cannot let go the idea of fucking Beatrice. It was deeply exciting and I did not know how I managed to drive and simultaneously fantasize her. I reached my home. I parked my car inside the parking garage. Everyone felt tired, so we got to bed early. Felicia and kids fell asleep around 10 pm. Kids are in the other room. Felicia was next to me in my bed, but my whole body felt weird. I got up slowly and went to the restroom to masturbate thinking about Beatrice. Inside my mind, I wanted to picture myself holding Beatrice in a white cage, locking her up in chains. I wanted to dress myself as Raven with black wings and a long whip in one hand and a block of ice. I fantasized fucking her and it felt good. Then I took a shower in ice cold water and wore another black shirt from the wardrobe. I took the house keys and car key, locked the house outside and went outside. There was a big brown dog howling at me. I chased him away. I looked outside, it started drizzling again. Inside my heart, dark blue dress Beatrice was wearing and her eyes flashed. I can hear Rohff jumping and running from the parking lot to reach Felicia and Duci. I felt dizzy and the next thing I remember is darkness. Filth building up in the air around me. Dark blue dress turned red. I slowly opened the parking garage and saw my car. I felt the car is scared of me. I unlocked the car and turned on the lights. I tuned on the radio. I felt like falling in love again. I slowly stepped out of the car. I went to the trunk of my car and I smiled unlocking it.
Let the caws of the raven begin….
