Bound

Chapter 10

Dimitri didn't tell me what he remembered and I didn't ask but I can tell that he knows that I know he remembered something. It would be a lie if I said I didn't want to know what but I'm not really the type of person to go around nosing into other people's business. It's Monday morning and I can barely concentrate on what the teacher is saying as I look around the classroom, waiting for the familiar prickle on my skin that would signify his arrival. He doesn't always come at the same time but it is usually in my first period.

Just as the bell goes for the end of the class, the hairs on the back of my neck prickle and I look around in time to see him appear at the front of class next to my oblivious teacher. I barely stop myself from sputtering, instead I managed to catch his eyes and signal him to follow me out of the class room. For the first time since last Monday, I make my way to the edge of the field leading into the woods and take a seat on an old fallen tree there. My first class was a double so I have the next half an hour free as break. From my spot, I can see the student in the front of the school and some in the back. Some of them were getting into their cars to go out of the campus for a drink and some where tossing around basket balls and footballs.

Neither of us said a word for a while so it was silent but it wasn't the pregnant sort of silence. Just one of those patient ones. I know what I want to ask but I also didn't want to ask it. I also want him to be the one to speak first but I dread what he's going to say. And for a guy who usually isn't bothered by other people generally, I am pretty bothered about him. You could also argue that he is technically a ghost so he doesn't count as a person but that is just cruel, in a sense. I think.

"Tell me about the Malachi" I finally cave and decide to ignore the issue totally. I want to know what he remembered, I also want to know about the kiss but neither of us is ready to talk about it just yet. Therefore the best course of action is to ignore it. I watch him from the corner of my eyes as he seems to think about the question. Something that looks an awful lot like frustration filters across his face really quickly before disappearing. When he opens his mouth as if to answer me, I hear the bell go off again and quickly concentrate back on the school. Most of the cars that left half an hour ago were slowly pulling into the parking lot and people were filing back into the building. With a sigh, I stand up from my place and dust myself off, just as I'm about to turn and walk back towards the building, something catches my eyes in the forest.

Small balls of light were floating about in the air, a bit farther in the forest that I am. Curiosity rears its ugly head and I am filled with an overwhelming desire to be closer to that light. The sound of familiar laughter filters into my head but it sounds like the laugher is coming from quite a way away.

"Memphis?" the sound of Dimitri's voice breaks me out of my trance and I turn to him. "Are you okay?" he looks at me curiously and then looks into the forest where I was looking. I follow his gave but there are no longer any balls of light.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just tired" I tried to be breezy with my reply but I am still shaken form my hallucination and because of that we are a bit tense as we walk towards the school. Well, I walk and he floats in a sitting position.

"Ahh yes, you didn't get much sleep last night did you?" and just like that we are back to normal. The stiff air is brushed aside and I feel the familiar irritation and something that I always feel around him. I also feel oddly like laughing.

"And whose fault do you think that is?" I ask as I shoot him a glare. I can see the corner of his lips curve up a little into a small smile just before he brings his ever present cup of tea to his lips and takes a sip. Unwillingly, my mind goes back to last night. I had already been asleep to about two to three hours before the arse woke me up by sexual harassment. Again. My face uncharacteristically flames as I remember sinful things he did to me last night and made me do to him. I'm not exactly a novice at anything sexual having had a fumble here and there with a few girls, but I have never been with a guy or ever thought about being with a guy, so the fact that a part of actually enjoys this thing between us not only have me embarrassed but also questioning my sexuality.

The rest of the school day goes b like always between us, with him throwing sexually harassment at me any chance he could and me trying to ignore him. I avoided the edge of the forest at lunch instead making my way to a small field at the back of the school where the football field is. We all crammed into Jade and Sage's car on the way home with him asking more questions about the different buttons in the car and what they did. At some point on the way home, he got tired of me ignore him and straddled me. He then proceeded to grind on me till I was close to breaking point. I practically sprinted out of the car when we pulled up to the house, running up the stairs and straight up to my room. By the time I actually got up to my room, my erection had deflated some and I had a clear enough head to decide I wanted to jerk off or not. I decided against before if I have learnt something about Dimitri this past week, it is the fact that he is a pervert and if caught me masturbating, he would most likely want to watch.

With a sigh, I just change into of my slightly soiled pants, before making my way downstairs. I've made a point to myself to spend some time downstairs from now on because my mum had an intervention for me on Saturday. She said that I was behaving weird and I should try and spend more time with the rest of the family. I was a tad surprised cause I didn't notice I had been acting strangle seeing as I was suffering spontaneous deep sleep and tiredness due to unforeseen mind blowing orgasms.

I didn't see Dimitri again till it was time for me to go to bed. As I came out of m bathroom, I saw him sitting on the bed. He was staring out of the window with a strange expression on his face. I just stood at the door, watching him for what must have been a long time.

"See something you like?" he asked me without turning away from the window. The light from the moon was shining directly onto him and seeing as it was the only light on in the room at this point, he seemed to be glowing.

"Where do you go when you are not with me?" the question fell from my lips without my permission but I didn't take them back because if I say I'm not curious i would be lying and I'm not in the habit of lying to myself. It also seemed to have startled him out of whatever he was thinking about because he turned to my partially hidden form in the bathroom doorway. His gaze seems to pierce mine and there is a fierce sadness hiding behind his eyes. It makes me want to want hug him but I hold myself very still.

"I don't know" he replies before turning back towards the widow.

"What do you mean you don't know?" I take an involuntary step towards him.

"When I'm not with you or thinking about you, it's like I don't exist" his voice is so sad that I am unable to remain where I am and I find myself climbing into my bed behind him and wrapping my arms around his waist and placing my forehead on his shoulders. A small thrill passes through me as I remember how similar my current position is to Hanna's in my dream but I ignore it and he doesn't send me away. Some small tiny part of my brain that is quickly murdered by the rest, whispers to me that again, something has changed between us and I should move away from him. But seeing as the voice ha s been murdered, I ignored it and we stayed like that till I fell asleep.
