The Foreigner

Chapter 11

Despite the deep darkness that surrounds my room, I can't fall asleep. Again the sounds coming from next door don't let me sleep. But what really bothers me is the way she got out of here. I think this is the real reason for my insomnia.

I will stop thinking about it and try to relax. I close my eyes, and when the sleep is finally coming I feel a presence in the room. Someone gets on the bed and comes over me. I feel a hand caress my cheek softly and a breath approaching. Soft lips touch mine.

I wrap her in my arms. She slides kissing and dropping my neck. I open my eyes slowly. She is the one here. I can't believe in what is happening. What made her forget what happened so fast? It doesn't matter now. I love this moment. Everything is so exciting. Her smell, her skin.

She gets up and, sitting on me, takes off her shirt. I also get up and unable to contain the desire to have her without any guilt, grab her body. She fits perfectly in my arms.

I open her bra. One of the straps falls and I kiss her shoulder up to her neck. I slide my hands over her completely bare back. She's hot. Getting hotter and hotter. It feels like I can feel the phoenix burning, coming alive and bouncing from its body. She moans as I kiss her neck.

I notice that around us there seems to be nothing more, just an infinite darkness.

When I realize, the phoenix is before me, behind her, large, flaming. A fire grows around us on the bed. That's scary. I try to stop what we are doing. But she doesn't release me. There is fire in her eyes and she smiles macabrely.

The flames grow. I feel my body burn. The flaming phoenix fast approaches me to devour me. I can't resist the fear and scream.

-Noooooo! -I wake up in my bed, startled. My room is very dark and the night is silent. I look at the clock. It's 4 A.M. Looks like the party is over.
