The Kiss Of A Spirit

Chapter 5

It was a rather dull day, the clouds were gray but no rain fell and no thunder was heard. Manny was in the kitchen preparing lunch, thinking that it would just be another day of dealing with Frida and the usual difficulties she would give him. But he would soon be proven wrong when there was a knock at the door.

"Who could that be?"

He went to answer the door not at all prepared for what who would be on the other side. He opened the door and became horrified at the sight of the person standing there. She an extremely attractive woman with skin like paper and long shiny black hair that when down to her ankles while her eyes were a piercing purple shade that could stop a person's heart.

"Zo...Zoe?" Manny choked.

'Hello Manny." She replied with a seemingly emotionless look.

"Wha...What are you doing here?" He asked trying not to sweat.

"Manny." She said. "I never thought I'd see you again, I've spent centuries trying to find you and now that I have."

She had rage and fury in her eyes and her lips were in a perfect frown. At first he thought she was going to kill him.

"We can be together again!"

Her calm, angry demeanor quickly faded into a teasing one as she tackled him to the floor and began to run her arms, hands, fingers, and legs all over his body while guiding his hands toward her butt.

"Gaaah! What do you think you're doing Zoe?!" He cried desperately trying to escape her grasp.

"Oh Manny I'm so terribly sorry for what I did to you! I didn't mean it! I was just angry! But I was so relieved when I found out you were still alive!"

"What are you talking about?! Get off of me!"

"Come darling let us continue where we left off!"

"Wait a minute! You're going way too fast!"

"Take me now my beloved."

"Wait! Stop! Don't you have any decency or shame? This is disgraceful! Unhand me woman!"

"Oh I love it when you play hard to get!"

"You always were shameless! Zoe please! I'm a familiar! I can't do this!"

As if things couldn't get any worse Frida walked in.

"Hey Manny have you seen my-" You can imagine the instant disgust she felt when she saw Manny on the floor with another woman on top of him trying to undress herself. Manny's cheeks were red with horror and embarrassment, hers was red with anger and repulse. "What is going on here?!"

"Frida I can explain! This is not what it looks like!"

"You disgusting pervert! What, you're so desperate to get your fix that you lack the decency to do it in private?!"

"No you got it all wrong!"

"Darling who is this ugly creature?" Zoe asked.

"Manny who is this dirty tramp?"

"Dirty tramp?!" She hissed. "You dare to speak to me that way!"
