A Dive to Remember

Chapter 22

Chiara's pov,

Everything was a mess, how was I even enjoying my time with Elara? I could not believe myself, this wasn't me at all..... All these sudden rushes of happiness, the Giddings, the little blushes throughout the day, this wasn't me at all. Internally shaking my head, I smiled at her, she looked cute in the moonlight and beautiful too, serene almost.... What am I thinking?!!!! NO Elara is the cause of my mother's death.

I still had my plan however, I had to make her fall in love with me and trust me, then I would make her fall, that's for sure.

I only did what I could think off, I held her hand, her hands were soft as if she had not beheaded and killed people, soft skin as if she hadn't choked people to their deaths, as if she was innocent. No, this was all just a ruse.

I held her hand and slowly shifted my hand to her arm and pulled her closer, leaning on her I showed her the constellations and talked about the only good parts of childhood I could remember. She looked at me as if I had hung the moon for her, what a vile expression on her, ugghhh....

I smiled at her and kissed the top of her nose, I had to make everything believable, so I shyly kissed her and moved away lightning fast, ewwww.... I didn't like her at all, even though my body decided to go against me and like the kiss, it begged for more. No, just no I cannot let this happen, not yet anyway.
