Angel of Night-The Beginning of the End

Chapter 5~ Meeting

Esmaria's POV~

He looks to be about my age, with midnight black hair that is so dark it almost looks blue. He is wearing a heavy green winter jacket, with a white fur trim around the hood, and brown leather gloves on his hands; one of which is still firmly holding on to my arm. He also has headphones on, which may explain why he was distracted and bumped into me.

I have to remind myself to breath. This guy is extremely handsome, which usually does not bother me, but in this case I find it very hard to concentrate. “I’m sorry; I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going. Are you alright?” he asks me with a melodic voice. What am I thinking?! I do not even know who this guy is, I scold myself. He gives me a strange look, and I realize I have not answered his question. “Yes, I am fine.” I say, back from him. I had not realized how close I was standing to him; to close for someone like me, who values personal space.

He stares at me for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before a look of surprise crosses his face. “Oh! I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! My names Dante” he says, a smile forming on his lips. I nod my head and turn to walk away. “Huh? W-wait!” he says, reaching to grab my arm. I spin around quickly, jumping back into a defensive position. Dante looks at me with surprise evident on his face,“uum… sorry,” he says sheepishly, running a hand through his hair, “I was just going to say, why don’t you let me pay for your taxi? You know, since I made you miss the other one”. Why is he doing this? Does he have an ulterior motive? I think. He does not look as if he intends to harm me, but looks can be deceiving.

Without waiting for an answer, he hails a taxi and opens the door. “Where to?” he asks me with a smile.

Dante’s POV

“Where to?”I ask, smiling at the beautiful girl that’s standing in front of me. I had accidentally bumped into her while I was walking, deeply absorbed in my thoughts. She was looking at me as if I was going to jump her or something. I don’t even know her name, I thought while opening the door to the taxi. She seemed to be considering my previous offer, staring at me with a blank look on her face. Her demeanor gave away no hint of her emotions; she just stared at me with crystal blue soul-piercing eyes.

Eventually, she walked forward and climbed into the taxi.
