Psycho But Not Really

p s y c h o - 19

Nate <3: Hey, what are you doing now?

Me: Just visited my mum, now I'm with Melanie, she's knows about our kiss...

Nate <3: oh... Lenny does too, anyways, I'll call you later, I'll back in town, in two more days.

Me: okay, bye <3

I put my phone down, and Melanie, was dozing off with manny in her arms, I decided, to take him from her arms, and let her sleep. I rocked him in my arms, seeing his blue eyes, he actually looked like Lenny, Manny, had the same features as him, but he's got Melanie's lips and nose for sure.

The nurse came in, and took manny, for some test. I was left in the room, contemplating if I should go out and get something to eat, or wait for Melanie to wake up. I sighed and got comfortable in my chair.

~~~

I'm guessing I fell asleep on the chair, because when I woke up, Marcl was calling me, Melanie was still sleeping, and Manny was in his crib, I picked up the phone, walking out the room so I don't wake them up.

"Hello" I groggily said, wiping the sleep out of my eye, Marcl sounded tired.

"Thea, I've landed, I don't think I can make it tonight, we should meet up tomorrow" he said, I nodded, and replied back, "Yea, I'm tired too, bye", I hung up the phone, walking back in the room, and saying one last goodbye to Melanie. I'm sure she wouldn't mind not seeing me after she wakes up.

It was already dark out, and I didn't really want to walk home alone, but there was no other option. I walked through all the night shops, and clubs, when I finally got back into the familiar street I lived in. Unlocking my door, I went upstairs, and plopped onto my bed.

Getting out my phone, I pressed Nate's name, and the line started to ring.

"Thea? What's wrong" he asked, I heard some background noises, it sounded like screaming, and someone punching and kicking. My heart beat raised a little.

"W-what's happening? Is someone hurt!" I yelled, but the noises faded, and Nate spoke, "calm down, its was a movie, anyways, why did you call? It's late" he said, I sighed and tried to reply back.

"I just walked home-" Nate cut me off.

"At this time at night? Thea?, something could've happened to you!" His voice held the 'over protective boyfriend' voice, I clicked my tongue, "but here I am, safe and sound, I just wanted to call, because I'm lonely, can't you come back sooner?" I asked.

Nate sighed, "I'll try" he said.

For the rest of the night, I was tucked into bed, still on the phone with Nate, we talked about our days, and how I met up with my mother, I remember Nate telling a cheesy joke, and I didn't laugh. He was disappointed but laughed anyway, it was cute to see how proud he was of himself, I wish I could see his smile.

I fell asleep during the call, and Nate must've ended, when I didn't answer him.

Nate

"Thea? Hello?" I said, but Thea wasn't answering me, she must've fallen asleep, cute girl. Before I ended the call I wished her a goodnight, "night princess" I whispered and ended the line.

"Well well well, Mr tough guy, has a soft spot for little miss Thea" Lenny teased, as he walked from behind me. Before she called me, we were killing a guy, he wanted money, but he refused to leave us, so we killed him, I'm glad Thea believed me when I said we were watching a movie.

As the call went on, I sat in the car, talking to her. Leaving Lenny to do the job.

"Shut up, can we get back now? I want to sleep" I said, dryly, and Lenny started the car. "You know, Thea really is a nice girl, I mean she didn't do anything wrong, why kill her? Melanie wouldn't mind a little company?" Lenny said, as we passed streets, and drunk teens at clubs.

"I just do, her existence annoys me" I said truthfully.

I admitted that, I couldn't get enough of her, but that was the problem, I was so fucking attached, that it will ruin my plan.

"You have sex with her yet?" Lenny said out of the blue, I flicked his temple, "No, I'm not forcing her to sleep with me, as much as she turns me on, I'm not going to be a rapist" I said, and leaned my head against the window. "Alright dude, I'm just telling you now, she's the one". Lenny's words played through my mind all night.

She's the one. She's kind. Why kill her?

Why am I killing her again?

She made me feel like I was a normal teen boy, like I wasn't a psycho. She calmed me. But you can't change a psycho, that's a fact.

Once we got back to the hotel, I went straight to bed, and Lenny contacted Melanie to see how she was doing. After Manny, being born, I allowed my other men to see their families, but if a word slips out about me, they were dead, and so were their children.

During the night, I wanted to feel Thea's lips again. They were soft and plumped, the taste of her peach lip balm, still in my mouth. I missed her. I sighed turning over to see Lenny on his phone.

"I miss her too, gosh, Melanie is really something, which is the cause of her being pregnant, but Manny changed my life" Lenny sighed, acting like a proud father. I rolled my eyes, I can't fucking think straight. I can't fucking get her out of my mind.

Stop stop stop, get out!

I yelled in my mind. Then lewd images of her popped up into my head. I was so disgusting that I could think of her naked body right now. I cursed myself and got up.

"I'm taking a cold shower" I said to Lenny.

"Woah, my man, you are something too!" Lenny praised.

I held up my middle finger at him.
