In Her Recreation - A TEIS Fanfic

Chapter 4

Cid kagenou ~ POV.

"I .... made extra portions ... so you can have some." She said with a beaming smile, handing the bag over to me.

I squinted, my eyes still on her blue as i slowly grasped the bag with a crinkle and looked down at it intently.

My stomach rumbled, which pleased her, evident by the blush on her cheeks and the shy giggle she let out while fixing her glasses in place.

I opened the paper bag and stared at the still warm breakfast of a burger, made with some vegetables and a generous slab of meat.

"My ... husband is off to work already." She began, staring at me curiously as she twirled a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Do you ... want to come in and have a chat ?" She asked, leaning towards me while swaying her sizable chest suggestively.

I stared at her in confusion, taking in her blushing face, slightly laboured breathing, fidgetting palms and seductive conduct before it finally clicked.

Oh .... oh, so that is what this is about.

I smiled, finally making sense of why she had hastily approached me earlier after i came out for my daily preamble: the customary morning jog.

This Beta being the unsatisfied wife had finally seen an opportunity to implement her designs on me.

Of course .... I've noticed her interest in me growing progressively each day, how she had loitered before going to work, taking a few more minutes to observe me as i go about my daily exercise routine.

She even held at her window that one day, sleuthing on me as i continued my push-ups in the orchard - completely unaware that i was aware of her eyes on my routine.

Regardless of this being an amusing development, something that brought a genuine smile to my face.

I wasn't ready to lose her just yet; I'll miss her and she was actually someone i looked forward to seeing each day.

"Sorry ...." i said with a smile, rubbing my hair with a palm as i turned and began walking away - much to her dismay.

"Thanks for the burger .... " I added, as i ripped the burger out of the bag and took an experimental bite - hoping to ameliorate her disappointment by eating the burger at least.

I watched her gasp in disbelief, staring at me in confusion before she turned and strode back into her apartment in dissappointment.

I stood by the staircase, still chewing slowly while she slammed her door shut; the impact reverberating through the entire building.

My eyes moved to land on the door as it creaked open, revealing the person whom had been eavesdropping on our conversation intently since the beginning.

Aurora's violet eyes blazed intensely with barely concealed jealously, boring into mine while she stood as still as a stature - her hands crossed before her solemnly.

"Good boy ...." she tittered with a laugh, wiping a none existent tear from her eye with an finger before striding forward towards me.

My heart chilled as she embraced me in a hug; enclosing her arms around me in an embrace.

"I see you've learned your lesson ...." she whispered in my ear, bringing back the unfortunate memory back to mind.

The incident happened a few weeks ago with a girl that looked eerily like Nu - her look-alike in this world to be more precise.

I had grown admittedly a little fond of her to be honest, not overtly but .... the appreciation was still there.

We met everyday at the superstore i frequented because of Gamma's look-alike: the supermarket's attendant.

At first she initially tried to sell me some of their dying wares, a few junk and scrap, something no one else would buy, trying to prevent the supermarket from suffering a loss by pinning the wares on an ostensible clueless buyer - which was me.

It was amusing, listening to her babble on about how my investment would be worthwhile and how I'd be better off buying it blah blah blah.

But then it somehow, transformed into something else .... something i did not see coming.

Gradually she stopped her perfiduous antics and began offering genuine business and worthwhile tips and tricks to me, sharing gossip and chatter up until it culminated to the event that led to the end of her life.

My eyes widened as she shoved me to the shelve of the store, kissing me passionately; her lip hungrily devouring mine while she grasped my cheeks tightly.

She broke the kiss apart after a few minutes, a string of saliva connecting our mouths as she stared at me dim eyed, heaving in exertion.

"I want yo-" she began, not even getting a chance to complete her words as my vision painted red, blood flying into my eyes and the environment.

I stared at the puddle of blood and entrails splattered on the floor and shelves in horror not even aware of my equally morbid and gory state.

Screams and gasps of horror reverberated through the store as the patronizers ran around helter skelter in horror.

I turned to stare at the only stationary person through the disorderly mess.

Aurora standing still - in her business attire - basket in hand, staring at the puddle of blood with a sadistic grin, her hair still cascading ominously with menacing red.
