The El Gioorandine

CHAPTER 5

"Don't touch me!" She scream for god know how many times. She was sitting on her bed. Throwing off dolls. She almost ran out of doll now. Covering her body with blanket and her left hand readily holding a koala bear doll. The man just snickered.

He slowly come closer and Violet throw the bear at Lucas. He catch it and slide it down. Still walking closely but slowly. Violet look around just to find herself with only a blanket. She has nothing to throw at anymore. Lucas chuckles.

"Why, dear? You look scared." Obviously she would. The man tried to rape her just moment ago. How dare he. She was sure she locked the door earlier. This is not the first time. It has happen countless time during this past 6 weeks. He would silently watch Violet. Once or twice, would rub his hand on Violet's shoulder, waist or anywhere he could reach. Lucas already reach the end of the bed.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you." He climbed it. The bed. Reaching towards Violet. Violet felt her blood getting cold. The tongue that was her only weapon feels stiff. She feels so scared. Then, she feels Lucas's hand on her cheek. Softly caressing it.

"Look. Isn't that easy?" Violet stiffen. She never let Lucas get this far. She feels suprised but still does not let her guard down. The touch. It is not really a pleasant one but it feel reassuring. Lucas trail his hand from Violet's cheek to her chin until it reach the other's cheek. She look down to her side. Towards Lucas. He was folding his legs, sitting comfortably.

"Told you it didn't hurt." Now, Lucas was playing with her hair. He lower his head, put his hand on his cheek while stand it on his knees. His other hand continued playing with the hem of Violet's sleeves. The silence were long.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked. Lucas were now playing with Violet's left hand fingers. Lucas grin.

"Nothing in particular." He moved closer. Violet jolt a bit. She could feels Lucas's breath on her ears. He put his chin on Violet's shoulder. So casually like Violet were someone close to him which was not. Violet suddenly feels uncomfortable but quickly changed when she heard Lucas's next answer.

"I just like cuddles." In no time, Lucas was on her back. Softly hugging her shoulder. Still putting his chin on Violet's left shoulder. He sounds lonely. Violet thought. How could he? He has a lot of money. He could never be bored for maybe for seven generation. Violet's body does not tense like earlier. But, still reminded her mind to be careful.

"I've touch many but there are not like you." Lucas snuggle to her side neck.

"They feels warm but you feels warmer." Violet could hear his soft sigh. It sound as if he was relieved. Like a big burden has dissolved from his back. Violet stay silent. She didn't knew for how long were they hugging, but she then feel Lucas's hold loosen. She heard snores and looks back at Lucas. He's asleep.

"Wow! He never sleeps after cuddling before." Violet looks up. Lilliana was standing with her side on the door.

"Maybe you're different." Violet ignore Lilliana because she doesn't feels the need to speak to her. She place Lucas's body on the bed. Slowly settling him.

"Just wanting to tell you, dinner's ready. Theo will brings it to you." Maybe she wanted to called Lucas for dinner, but change her mind when she saw Lucas asleep. Lilliana walk away. Violet take off Lucas's vest and tie. Button out two of it on his shirt so that Lucas will not feels hot. Feels satisfied, she put blanket on Lucas.

"What the heck am I doing?" She came to realization. Feel like an idiot after what she did. She suddenly feels sticky and head to the bathroom to shower. Maybe, this time it will be different, she thought. Maybe, there is still man who want her after what she had done. Then, she shakes her head.
