Chamber of Silver

"Who are you?"

I looked at the man in front of me.He had black messy hair and striking blue eyes.They were piercing even though his gaze was one of love and respect.

"Oh sorry"He looked downwards at the wooden floor of the cafe for a second,then looked back at me.

"I'm Daniel,nice to meet you"The ends of his mouth curled up into a small smile.

I could hear the girls silent screams as he extended his big hand towards me.I hesitated,then gently shook it slightly annoyed.Still, I ended up giving a friendly smile.

"Hi.Im Aine and please,you don't need to be formal around me."His smile got even wider.

"Shouldn't I be,around a really pretty girl?"I cast my suspicious gaze to him and I saw his mouth open but then close for a second.

''Afraid?'' I scoffed mentally.

He bit his plump lips and shot me a frustrated look.It was as if he wanted to say something but he was too afraid to say it out loud because of everyone around us.

"Sorry....uh...do you want to sit down?"I sighed but did as he said and sat down in Sen's previous chair.

"You are pretty straightforward aren't you."
He chuckled and closed his eyes for a second before opening them again and drawing in some air.

He adjusted his brown coat and dusted his black pants.Outside was pretty cold so I suppose he has been out.By the type of clothing he was wearing,he might either be an actor or a millionaire.....or a complete asshole.You never know,you know what I'm saying?

"Am I?I didn't notice,maybe I should've asked your friend.He seemed really interested in you.Isn't he your boyfriend?"His hands made their way to his chin and he nodded expectantly at me.

"Its none of your business...What I'm actually interested is how you know my name."

"Now who's the one being straightforward?"He winked and called the waitress over.

She hurried over to the table until she saw who i was talking to.I could see the shock on her face that was now whiter than her skirt.Her shoes clinked slowly as she walked step by step.She stopped for a second and arranged her face and hair before bowing to him.

"Black coffee and tea."I opened my mouth to speak but closed it as she waltzed to the counter.

"So,I bet you're confused about who i am"He plastered on a smirk.He was either trying to impress me or make me feel more embarrassed.

"I'm an old friend "Daniel's voice echoed through the now empty cafe.

I didn't realise it yet but we were left alone in the cafe besides two girl sitting at the table after us.I was so distracted that I forgot and the space around me seemed to close.Then..

I heard it.The cup Sen was holding broke into million pieces against the hard floor.

He strode to our table faster than ever.Then,he smashed his hands on the slab glaring at Daniel.I have never seen him stare at someone like that EVER.His icy glare never left him and I'm sure if i wasn't there he would've cut his body into small pieces of flesh and then fed him to his dogs.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"He hisses trying not to draw anyone's attention even though it was too late for that.

"Aine,can you please calm your boyfriend down?Blondie take a sit."The way he said the word "boyfriend" made me shiver.He seemed annoyed at me for a second.

"Two handsome guys getting in a fight.That girl is so lucky"I heard the girl at the counter say.Lucky my ass.YOU try to calm down your best friend from killing someone you just met.

"Calm down!You're drawing everyone's attention.Sit down."Sen sat down next to me never breaking eye contact with Daniel.

I grabbed his hand and he shifted his attention to me fully.His hands were cold but still soft besides outside being really cold.My lips were so dry.

"Ok..Sen?Do you know him?Please answer me with only the truth"He breathed out and shook his head.

"Yes but he isn't who he says he is"I eyed them suspiciously.Ive been trusting Sen since we were children,he wouldn't lie to me.

"Sen....are you perhaps....you two...."

"Sen,are you gay?"He chocked.

He literally started chocking on nothing,nothing but air.Did I say something wrong or did I do something wrong?

"Ah sorry.Fuck.Im not.You dont understand"He chocked out as I continued to pat him on his back.

He was wearing fancy clothes like he has just been at an important party,one that I surely couldn't afford.Black coat with a white blouse and black pants.They looked very expensive and I didn't hear him talk about parties or things like that.He wasn't into fancy stuff,he was the type of chill guy that I would eat pizza with on my couch, on a sunday night while we watched a movie.

"Look I'm sorry....I.....I didn't mean to say it like that.."Those words thuged at my heart.
I truly felt sorry towards what I said before, but it just slipped I guess?

I took a sip of my tea and look at the floor in shame.Im so stupid.
"No,no..Please,my dear,you didn't say anything wrong.I guess it was just shocking to blondie right here since I bet he hasn't been in a relationship and-"I spit my tea right in his handsome,stupid,face.

His face was one of pure disgust as he wiped away at his face with a tissue given by the girl next to us.Of course he thanked her and gave her a wink before he started wiping up the mess I did.Oh poor guy...I didn't really feel sorry

"Ok,you people are weird.I should've gotten straight to the point."He scrunched his nose up in disgust once again and looked me straight in the eyes.

His eyes shone with mischief and he licked his dry lips.

"I came to take you with me"
