The Wolf's Bride

Chapter II: So, you were here.

Hola! I see you!..no I don't.. But I feel ya!

Thanks so much for giving TRY ME a chance to entertain you today!

**********
My eyes were glued to the ceiling, already done eating dinner, I was waiting for sleep to catch up, my mind was still noisy and I just lost my one and only favorite jacket all thanks to that godly son of a bomb!

I had a bit of trouble starting the fire since it was almost dark out when I went and finished collecting those fire wood, I even danced around it like a caveman, ahem*....woman...

I was actually trying to shake off the bug that had the audacity to tickle me with it's teensy little itchy crawlers. shudder*

I was still lamenting about my lost jacket, the fire was illuminating the cave, it did little to fend off the cold though, I was counting on my jacket to do that but I don't have it anymore, I only brought two sets of clothing with me and I was still drying the ones that I wore earlier in the day, because I went cray-cray and swam the lake like a frigging hotdog, now I couldn't bundle up for warmth anymore!

What a bugger, I shouldda poked his pretty eye with my nose.

..His eyes, huh... now that I think of it, I remember their color, which was weird since I wasn't that observant, but an image of a cold oceanic blue eyes made it's way to the forefront of my mind's eye,

And I felt like drowning,

I quickly sat up, breathing heavily, my sleeping bag still clinging on me, a painful sensation crept its way from my chest to my throat, my hand held onto it, trying to sooth the chocking pressure, I felt like crying, not from pain but from...

From what?

I got out of the sleeping bag, all remnants of sleepiness gone, and made my way to the fire, adding more wood before sitting on the log that I placed near it, welcoming the rush of warmth, my heart rate was still fast, I felt excitement, a hint of relief, it's source unknown, but it was unmistakeably there.

I racked my brain for the reason, what was new today? The place? But I always moved around and it......him.

Lub dub, lub dub,

So it seems it is him, no sense of denial or outrage came, I placed my arms around myself, as if to stop the butterflies I felt in my stomach just thinking about him, am I seriously crushing on the guy? Stop being weird, Kat..

I chuckled at myself, sighing and then breathing in as much air my lungs could take in, I exhaled in one go, my body loosening a bit, there was a buzz of sweet  euphoria in the next few breathes I took, if he visited here once, he'll surely visit again.

And maybe by then, I could answer why I was having weird feelings for him.

I felt lighter, stress lifted off, like I accepted something worth a lot, found a missing thing and was content...I haven't felt this happy before, haven't felt like this in a very long time.

Maybe he's a good thing.

Just maybe.

I woke up from the cold floor, my leg on a log, the fire was out, my sleeping bag was a heap below me, must've been really sleepy before I moved to get myself comfortable.
