Loveless♣

Chapter One-Someone's Watching

His hands played the guitar fluidly. His voice was as soft as summer rain,and the music he produced with his hands and mouth slowly carved into her heart.
She loved him.
She never thought she'd love anyone again but she loved Anthony.
He was good to her.
He was good for her.
  As she watched him sing,she realized he'd healed her.From her broken past.He'd healed her without even knowing. He'd touched without using his hands and left her breathless but full of life.
And because of that,she grabbed his face and kissed his cheek loudly and repeatedly.
"Ow!Ow!Andrea,come on!" Anthony yelled,laughing as she continued to splatter his face with kisses.He tried to release the grip she had on his cheek but her hold was too strong.
He laughed even more when she grabbed his guitar,placed it on the other side of the bench and climbed onto his lap.
"Hey,come on,I was in the middle of a masterp--Oh," his speech was interrupted with her kiss.He pulled her closer and kissed her deeply.
Finally she let him go.
He was grinning from ear to ear.
"And what was that for,huh?"
"I just wanted to drive you mad with uncontrollable desire."
She shrugged and got off his lap.
His arms were still wide open and he was gaping at her.
"Are you serious,Drea?!You can't just turn a man on and leave him hanging?Well..not hanging, if you think about it literally."
"Think about it however you want,honey.You just had a taste of what you're never gonna get."
"Oh,we'll see about that," he said and jumped off the swing to chase her.Her loud excited screams filled the park and made heads turn as he chased her round and round.She dodged picnic tables and running children.He was hot on her tail.
She made the mistake of looking back and regretted it at once,because the moment she turned forward, she slipped and fell into the pond with a loud splash.
Anthony halted at once and echoed an 'ooh' with everyone else in the park who'd been watching.
Andrea felt her face redden as she stood up slowly.She was soaked to the bone and her brown hair was plastered to her head.She turned around to face everyone,with her hands spread out at her sides.
"Eww," a few kids chorused, giggling and pointing at her.
There was a slight pause.
"Uh...she's alright!"Anthony announced."So you can..uh..get back to your businesses now.Thank you.Carry on.Great," he said to the people watching.They turned back to what they were doing,reluctantly, murmuring as they did.
Anthony walked up to Andrea slowly with his hands on his hips.
"Don't say anything," she warned."I'm-"she stopped to spit out a leaf,"ugh..I'm embarrassed enough as it is, Tony,so don't say another word."
"Hmm," he said,folding his arms."You really don't want me to-"
"Don't! This is your fault!Don't say anything, just take me home."
"But,Honeybunch, I-"
"Grrrr," she said,baring her teeth.
He raised his hands in surrender.
"As you wish."
She stomped past him,her arms swinging from side to side.
He followed carefully behind her.
"Are you sure you don't want me to say-"
"Tony!I'm warning you!" She said as she whipped around to face him.
Some of the water from her hair splashed on him.
"Well,alright!" he said in exasperation."I won't tell you there's a spider on your shoulder. "
"Eeeek!What spider?!"she shrieked and began to hop in place frantically and swipe both her shoulders repeatedly.
After a few seconds she stopped,because Anthony was howling in laughter.
" I got you,I got you real good.Oh my God,you should've seen the look on your face. I should've made a video or---Uh oh."
His laughter died when he saw her charging towards him.She tackled him and they both fell to the floor with a loud groan.
She sat heavily on his stomach began to hit him,screaming cusswords. Her hands were flailing in his face.He caught them both in one hard and rolled on top of her.He held the hands over her head and pinned them to the grass.
She was still screaming, threatening thunderstorms and hailstones.
Then he kissed her and the screams died on her lips.
He kissed her deeply despite the messiness of her clothes and the wetness of her face.
He kissed her like her mouth was filled with honey and he couldn't get enough.
She stared at him in shock when he was done.
"I'm still gonna kill you,you know," she said after a few seconds.
"I know," he replied,shrugging."And I'm still gonna love you afterwards,you silly little wetbottom."
She laughed and they kissed again.
Then he heaved her up and carried her bridal style out of the park,with people beaming and cooing at the young couple.
The man who'd been hiding behind a tree,watching the couple with a pair of binoculars lowered them and the hatred in his eyes was sharp and startling.
He watched them settle back on the swinging bench.
The boy began to play the guitar,and the girl watched him in adoration. He looked into her eyes as he sang for her, and the man could see that a bond had been formed.
One that he needed to break effectively and immediately.
