SONGS FOR THE BROKENHEARTED

ALL THAT SHE IS... 5

----Lois----

I cried so hard that i didn't know when i fell asleep. 

I had no idea we had gotten to his lodge till he tapped me awake. 

My eyes were swollen - I could feel it. His eyes surveyed my face before they met my eyes

"We're home" was all he said. I just stared at him feeling utterly confused. Isn't this the part where a million questions are fired at me? abi I'm the one reading it all wrong

"You're not saying anything" I sniff

"I just did. Are you ready to come inside? You don't mind staying at my place do you? If you do i can take you to your lodge" He's not giving anything away

"You know what I'm talking about" I say, my head dropping from his face to my fiddled fingers but he guides my gaze to his

"I know what you mean, and i also know that if you wanted to talk about it you would have told me about it. As much as i want to know because i am so fucking curious, i want to respect your decision and privacy even if it is proving hard" his eyes are just affirming every word that is coming out of his mouth

An awkward silence surrounds us for a few seconds but it felt like an hour or more had just skipped by

"I'm sorry i ruined our date" I quickly change topic

He shakes his head, a thin smile coating his lips "You didn't ruin anything. I love the new spot, very cozy"

"Can we not go there again? at least for a while?" I rush out. I could bet my last paper that the desperation which seeped into my voice did not go unnoticed by him

He nods "Whenever you're ready" 

I unconsciously tuck my lower lip in my mouth then bite it out of self-consciousness

He places his hand on my jaw and slowly - with his thumb - drags my lower lip out from my teeth's hold "If you bite any harder you'll bruise it. Let's go rest up, I'm sure you're exhausted"

I bop my head up and down in reply. I couldn't talk, how could i? It's like he entranced me with his movement. I'm not sure my voice would activate after that

"Don't come down yet" getting out of the car he moves to the other side of and opens the door for me? 

"What are you doing?" I am confused

"Don't question it" he states holding out his hand for me to get down from the car.

I take it in appreciation as he guides me out, closes the door and locks the car "Shall we?" he smiles at me. I had to blink my eyes like three times or more to activate myself 

"Umm... thank you" I say, he gives an appreciative nod and we begin the walk to his room

His lodge is really spacious. From the car park to the main entrance door is a short walk then you get inside . The corridor is quite long but not narrow. It could fit 8 people at once.

Since it was a little late but not that dark plus the lights seems to have issues so the corridor was deemly lit. These maintenance people need to get this bulbs changed before it starts giving creepy vibes.

We were close to his room when i saw three silhoutes in the dark. 

My legs stopped moving

"What's wrong?" he asks but my eyes could not leave the silhoutes ahead of me. His voice was getting drowned out

They were leaning on the wall. They were leaning on the wall - two of them

I could see smoke in the air. One blew smoke in my face while the others laughed at me
