Chapter 15: - A blind venture into darkness

CHAPTER FIFTEEN;

A BLIND VENTURE INTO DARKNESS -

I was delighted of some sort, that Lara had agreed to visit my house. I didn't even know why I'd invited her......maybe because of the company? The pleasure? I mean, a-after......after the incident, I'd been getting pretty lonely; and I know it wasn't a good feeling. I couldn't live by myself forever - it would've drove me nuts.

The walk to my house wasn't long, or anything like that. We just had to humble pass the streets of London, and pass Green Park, and we'd eventually be there.

But while we were walking, Lara opened up conversation.

"So your house, what does it look like then?"

I took a sigh, because I'd always hated describing. "It's kinda small - not very big. Though there's some nice stain - glass windows, which I actually clean myself. Oh! Yeah, the house is a blue-ish colour, like a baby blue I think."

She laughed. "I can tell you're not very much of a describer then?"

"Oh god no, not at all. Although I like to read books I guess; thanks to you."

"Of course, I remember that trip we took to the library. I made you pick up one didn't I? God now that I look back on it, I shouldn't have made you take - out a book if you didn't want to."

"Hey, don't worry about it. It's fine honestly, I guess reading is good for the mind?"

"I've always been taught that, so yeah probably. And it's also a good stress relief exercise- thingy."

"I'll keep that in mind Miss Mendes."

It wasn't long before we arrived at my house, London wasn't very busy at this time of evening. Lara looked as if she.....liked my place in a way, since her head was looking up at the top of the house, taking in all the tiny little details. I was pleased of course, it'd make the afternoon much smoother.

"I feel like I'm taking a blind venture into darkness." Lara said.

My eyes instantly diverted from my house to her. What did she mean? I felt a little queasy inside, and slightly started to heat up.....

"What do you mean?"

"It's a metaphor Lucas, don't worry about it."

"Of course I'll worry about it, you just commented on my house and I have no clue whatsoever you're talking about."

She chuckled. "Always the worrier aren't you?"

"That's why you're friends with me then." I answered.

"Hmmm, indeed."

We paused, and I cautiously led her to my front door, which was painted in a nice red colour - probably magenta. Wait, was that even a shade or red? I felt confused, and clearly , you could tell that I wasn't an art student.

"You're an art student aren't you?" I asked Lara.

We stopped in front of the door.
