She's In His City

Heartbeats

Azriel

"Fer, can I come in?" I asked. She didn't reply so I entered. I could tell she had been crying because of her bloodshot eyes.

"Fer, were you crying?"

"What do you want Azriel." She croaked, the tears clogging her throat.

"You were crying.... . Doll I'm sorry I shouldn't have said those things, I.... "

"But you're right I'm always causing one problem or the other for everyone,... "

"No I'm not, I was wrong for forcing you to join my gang, this is not the life you're meant to be living Fer so even if it costs me my life, I'll make sure you're ok."

The tears began to flow again.

"I'm so sorry." She said and hugged me, my body stiffened for some moments before I returned the hug. It felt really nice but she's so short I new I'd get a backache if I hugged her for too long.

"It's OK, now get some rest, it's really late, you can Sleep in my room if you like."

"No I'm okay here, goodnight."

"Goodnight." I was about to leave but she stopped me .

"Azriel, when you said I was important to you, what did you mean."

I sighed, I wanted to say that I meant she was important for the gang but I couldn't.

"You really want to know what I meant, what I meant was, I'll show you what I meant."

I pulled her to me and kissed her slowly, she didn't protest so I deepened the kiss I could taste her tears as l I kissed her. A few minutes later we pulled away but she was still dazed.

"Wow that was.... You really are extremely short." I said, the smile evident in my voice.

That seemed to bring her back to earth because she punched me.

"It's not my fault you're a giant."

"So do you want to sleep in my room or not? "

"No, I'm fine here." 

After what just happened I knew she'd decline so I placed a kiss on her forehead and left. It was after I left that I realized what just happened I knew I was in trouble.

"So, how does it taste?" After the events of yesterday night I decided to treat Azriel to a nice breakfast.

"It's kinda burnt, but I give you an A for effort. I thought you wouldn't know how to cook at all."

"Anytime my mom wasn't around the cook used to teach me how to make some dishes. By the way how's your arm."

"I'll have to wear this brace for a while so it could be better."

"I wish I could do something to make you feel better."

"You could." He said gazing at me.

"Azriel, about what happened last night I...."

"What exactly happened Fer, I don't remember?"

"Seriously?"

I honestly couldn't believe he was playing dumb.

"How about you refresh my memory Fer." He said moving closer to me

We were about to lock lips again when the door suddenly opened.

"Azriel, I need.... " Immediately I heard James voice, I jerked backwards,I almost fell off the bed but Azriel held me.

"Didn't anyone teach you to knock on the door before you enter a room." Azriel said
