The frost bit my fingers as we cuddled in the crusty cab to the city of Vemil after dropping off from the airport.Elmo,our travel agent had given us barely any info but a simple text with a name on it."Ask for mama Loles' house when you get into Vemil.it was a winding road that followed the side of a mountain.Adrenalin raising rather.I sniffed ,feeling cold and numb.I felt a finger graze my nose as if wiping away mucus."Tissue?"Chris teased.I pushed his hand away."Dont you think i would know it myself if i had boogers running down my nose."i wiped my nose a little insecure.He laughed."Whats on my baby's mind.?"."How much fun we are actually going to have when we get to our room and turn up the heat."I said.He bit his lip."Dont tell me,coz i know,i know baby."His cheek was on mine.He held me tightly,warming me up.I cleared my throat as i bumped into the eyes in the rearview mirror.He was caught unaware,the taxi driver."So were did you say you were going in Vemil?"he said a little embarrassed at his intrusion.I was quiet,to give the two men room to converse."Well if we have our details right and this is Vemil.We are going to Mama Loles' place.."Oh the place by the hill.Interesting choice. "he said snickering.It sent a shiver down my spine."Why?Is there something wrong with that place?"I said feeling a bit uneasy."Depends on what your preferences are."He said.I looked at Chris.He gave a side smile signaling me to not pursue it any further.It was a habit,these drivers in tourist places would always tell stories about locations.I was pretty certain Elmos had arranged a very romantic place for us.I mean he had planned our Fiji trip all the way to the day we got back home.Elmos was a good guy.Yes he was.My mind was crazy with thoughts.There it was.The gates of Vemil.The driver exchanged words with the locals at the gate in their native language before they opened  the gate.".Mama Loles"i heard a woman cry as we drove off.I looked back to see a man hold her back from coming towards the car.I looked away.The city was old but enchanting.The buildings were so close together there was barely enough space between them.Camels lay on the side of the street markets.One stall had dried meat drapped over wires."Mukuyu,Mukuyu"the man waved the meat as we drove by.We drove a little bit into the city to a road that was leading up to what i could honestly say were the remains of what would have once been a castle.The car stopped by the gate that was twined with vines,purple vines."This is as far as i can go"he said."What do you mean?we have to walk inside?."Chris asked."This is sacred ground.Im not worthy of it"he muttered.I rolled my eyes.This dramatic man.I had had enough of him as well."Thank you sir.Youve done a loooot for us already.I wouldnt expect you to drive us inside too".I said opening the car door.Chris put his hand to open his before a hand fell on him.He looked up at Chris."Your mind.Clear your mind.Your thoughts will come alive."he said.Chris removed his hand."Okay man,times out".We watched him drive off.I pushed the gate and it opened right up.We pulled our laggage up the steep path that led to the building.The main door was open."Welcome to the heart of Vemil"a voice said as we entered.I smiled at the old lady.Her hair had the most perfect curls that fell to her shoulders.Her lips red and her cheeks dusted with pink blush.She had this glow."Hello there.Im Chris and this is my fiance Hazel."He said.I just smiled.I was dumbfounded."Well we've been expecting you here at Mama Loles.Im Mama Loles.Its nice to have young souls around here once in a while.I should say most people have abandoned the roots of Vemil that lie right in this mansion"she said waving her hand for us to follow her."Do people prefer somewhere else in Vemil".Chris asked."Well the campers,the modern ones.They wouldn't understand this place.But you,you two.I bet its been calling long before you even came here".The woman stopped and stared right into my eyes.I was uneasy.I gave a weak laugh."Its been quite a journey.We would love ,just to settle down and find something to eat"I said finally.She smiled faintly.We followed her down the dark and cold corridor.On the walls hung potraits of naked angels,one peice in particular had a woman lying on a bed and a man with dark wings hovered above her with a knife in his hand.I swallowed hard.Now where had i seen this before?.She finally stopped and opened the door.Chris went in first and i followed behind him.The room was big,with red and black wallpaper which made it dramatically dark and eerie.The King bed was draped in silk duvets and there scattered petals of black roses all over it.The room had a character to it ,one that i could not quite explain yet.There was a potrait of a man and a woman.The mans eyes gazed into mine as if it were alive.They held hands in the picture as if it had been their wedding day.The picture spoke without saying a word"I will let you two rest.There is bell on the side of your bed.Your dinner will be served to you shortly "she said.Her gaze was fixed on me.Her eyes capturing the essence of the room."Thank you Mama Loles"Chris said as she shut the door behind her."Is it me or does she have a crush on you"Chris said coming over to me.I embraced him when he came close."She can crush all she want but her hundred year old self is not getting as close to you as another handshake.This place baby.I dont know" I said."This place is exactly what we need.A little bit of mystery.I like it and it seems we will have all of the privacy we need."He said swinging me in his arms."Lets settle in then,have some food and we can explore in the morning."I said to him.He gave me a peck."And is it me but this whole room is setting a vibe for some crazy Whips and chains sex"Chris said.I looked at him ."You sir,are perveted".I teased.        Somehow I felt shivers on my body thinking about the possibilities of what this room was actually made for.It looked quiet similar to the one in the dream I had.I looked at the potrait again.The man in the picture.His caramel skin was perfect and his dark hair and beard was glowing.His eyes were perfect.They looked right into my soul."She's pretty right?"Chris said from behind me."No he's handsome"I said."Baby come here"Chris said pulling my hand to the bed.We sat."I love you and i want you to have the perfect holiday"he said."I love you too Chris".Our hands rubbed on each other.I was going to try my best to be at ease but i could not shake off the vibes this place was sending off,and this weather.What sort of romantic weather was it.It was just dark and gloomy,like the setting of a perfect time nightmare.We were in the ass of Vemil for sure.
