To Love A Ghost [OLD VERSION]

Chapter 2

2.Making you see me

Robert

As Elizabeth opened the door to the kitchen her long, brown hair blew past her cheek to her shoulders i came and sat beside her, I wished she knew i was there but somehow a part of me knew she could sense me.

I slowly moved as just as i was about to go i realised how much i wanted to stay.I had been in love with her since the day she had walked through the front door to this house.I wanted to hold her and be able to talk to her, wait i thought we could talk to humans if we wanted. I called out her name “Lizzy”  She whipped her head around, she could hear me, then she smiled. She asked  “Where are you? Wait, no don’t tell me let me guess” I stood still as she rose from her chair and closed her eyes. “Don’t talk, I don’t want any clues.” I kept silent. She turned to face me, her eyes still ast shut, then she walked towards me. I couldn’t believe it. She stopped when she was about a few inches away from my invisible feet. Then Lizzy opened her eyes and said to me “ Found you”.

Elizabeth

I was so happy that my ghost had called out to me. I asked him questions about his family  what his name was and how long he had been here. “Do you want to see me” Robert asked me.

That was my dream to see him, i had fantasies about what he had looked like. “Yes” I said in an overly excited voice. I’m sure my expression said yes too.  A few seconds later i wasn’t staring at  air where my ghost had been i was looking at him. He was handsome, he had brown hair and his eyes were a honey gold. It was gorgeous  His eyes weren't scary they were warm and amazing, they looked hazel. His lips were the most perfect shape i had ever seen, they looked soft. I wondered what it would be like to kiss them. He caught me staring at his lips. He asked me   “ Why are you looking at my lips?”

“err,I umm...”  I trailed, I truly didn’t know why.He smirked. I was still looking at his lips i couldn’t stop. Then he disappeared, as Rose entered the room. I hadn’t told Rose about Robert yet and that he was a ghost. So i decided to tell her now. “Rose”, I said. “There is a ghost in this house.”

“I know “ She replied.

“Well, you see theres this ghost and he’s in love with...me.” I told her quietly.

“Oh” That was all she said. Slowly, i walked over to the sofa and sat down. I didn’t know what to say. It seemed she didn’t know what too. The silence was as quiet as a graveyard. Empty, lonely, abandoned. Without a word Rose walked out of the room. Robert reappeared, he sat next to me. He took my hands i should have pulled back but i didn’t. “I’m seeing someone. I shouldn’t do this.” But i wanted too. I inched closer to him, he kissed me lightly on my cheek, then on my lips, it was as soft as a whisper. Then he kissed me harder. To my surprise i kissed him back, i couldn’t stop myself.  My arms found their way to his neck, pulling him closer to me. He layed back on the sofa, still kissing me, then i came to my senses and pulled away. But he moved closer to me pulling my lips back to his. I tried to clear my head but failed, i tried to pull away but i didn’t want to. Finally i managed to break free, i couldn’t stop thinking about him. Distracting myself from him was harder than i thought. “Sorry i shouldn't have done that after all you are seeing Jon.”

“Yeah, i know but he doesn't kiss me like you do.” I admitted. He smiled. I looked down, he pulled me chin up with one finger and stole a kiss from my lips. When i pulled away he smiled kindly to me. I had so many things to think about. There was a knock on the front door. ”That’s Jon at the door.Don’t go just make yourself invisible.” He gave me a doubtful look but said “Ok” and i couldn’t see him anymore, but i knew he was there. I walked to the door and opened it, the cold wind that blew in through the door was as cold as ice itself. Jon walked in taking my hand, his touch felt wrong. We walked down the hall hand in hand. I wanted to pull away go back to Robert. Jon kissed me on my lips but i didn’t kiss him back. He stopped. He asked a question. “ What’s the matter?” I didn’t know what to tell him.

“I’m just tired. That’s all, long day”

“Oh, ok i’ll go home then” he looked sad. So i thought about saying no don’t go home stay.But i couldn’t bring myself to say the words, my mouth refused to form the sentence.So instead i said “Ok, you can come over tomorrow” I suggested. He smiled and agreed. Jon walked out of the door and into the freezing cold outdoors.  I shut the door and turned around, he was there smiling at me. “What?” I asked.

“You sent him away, why?” He asked.

“Because i wanted to be with you” I told him, feeling foolish and shy.  Robert started to laugh. I peeked up at him, while i walked up to my room, he followed. Still laughing quietly to himself.
