The Madness of Duke Venomania

~Chapter 6~

I awoke in my bed the next morning and laughed as I got out of bed, naked. I knew she'd probably have at least a slight hangover so I didn't have to be as quiet. I pulled on my Duke's clothes, just because I felt like being fancy today. I walked down out of the room and down the stairs yawning, as usual.

My duchess' swarmed me and I laughed and kissed all of them then walked to the dining room and grabbed an eggplant and munched on it at the table, swarmed by my pets. I smirked but kept eating, glad I made that deal with the devil. It was worth it, just for my soul and an eternity in hell. I find that a great deal quite honestly.

I finsh up my eggplant and then stand up. "Good day, m'ladies" I say and then start heading towards the coat rack to look for another duchess to add to my madness. I pull on my cloak as I remember my childhood "friend", or so she claimed. She had used me. . .

~Flashback~

I was walking on the sidewalk on the way to school, holding Gumi's hand. She was now one of the hottest girls in the school, with her lime green locks, her beautiful green eyes, her perfect form and stance. She just took my breath away. We walked into the school and then we started passing some of the lockers and suddenly she pinned my shoulders to one of the lockers. I blushed "G-Gumi-" I started but she puckered up and started leaning towards me with her soft, pink lips. I closed my eyes and waited for her lips to meet mine. But they didn't.

I opened my eyes just as a pot of coffee was poured onto my head. "Wh-Wha!" I say surprised, my skin burning like I was melting in a pot of lava. She points and laughs and I realize there's a crowd and they're laughing too. My eyes well up with tears but I squeeze my eyes shut. "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry' I think to myself. It helped at most times, but this was just too much. I feel a tear dribble down my cheek, making them laugh harder. I run forward pushing through the crowd and hiding in the boys' locker room. I curl up into a ball on a bench and cry silently into my knees.

~Flashback~

I shudder and shake my head trying to get that out of my head. "Come on, I'm the famous Duke. The past doesn't matter to me anymore" I say to myself as I walk out the front door thinkking alot about that day, the aching in my heart. I had liked her since we were kids. But I guess, she didn't feel the same. Not yet, at least. I grin as I head back into town, hugging my cloak around my muscular body.
