In Love With A Serial Killer 2

Chapter Eleven- Charade

Having been able to take Vannah and make her mine made acting as if I was content with Trina a near impossible feat. I felt obligated to stay, guilt having ruled over my desire-but that did not stop me from trying to go and see Vannah. We would try to meet on several occasions, but always found that there had been something to get in our way. It was as if life itself was trying to keep us together, which made the time we got even more sought out for us both. However, it seemed as though whenever I saw her that it had been the first time while she appeared to me in an angelic light. Each kiss shared or touch experienced had been imprinted in my brain and caused for my desire for her to increase. She was the other half of me, the thing I needed to breathe, and without her I would be as good as dead, as I could not leave her again.. I could not bear it.

As she opened the door on this night in specific, she stood before me in lingerie poorly hidden behind a silk robe. I could not wait to peel it from her body, being able to kiss her skin and make her toes curl from my actions against her. The only thing I could think of had been to get her onto the nearby hotel room bed and do our best to break its springs. I managed to bring her at the edge of the bed before she stopped me. An adorable chuckle had left her lips as I pulled back, seeing her desperate to speak to me.

"What is it?" I asked her, my fingers having remained upon her body, yet stalled to undress or fondle her.

"I can't do this-" as I went to interrupt her, going to plead to where her and I could remain together, she set her fingers to my mouth. "I can't sit back and know that she gets to touch you...sleep beside you...wear your ring..." I saw the pain behind her eyes, I wanted to confront her, and even get angry at myself for allowing her to be hurt by me.

"I will do whatever it takes to not lose you." The words left my lips from desperation. All I wanted was to be able to be with her, damn everything that dare try and stop me-and yet, I couldn't break away from Trina. Too much had been invested, too much sadness had fallen upon her heart...I couldn't break it with her past mental issues.

"Promise me that you do not love her."

I paused for a moment. My eyes scanned around the rook before my gaze fell upon the small ring hanging off of a nearby lamp, used to pull it down. Breaking it from the item, I set it within my grasp before looking to her.

"I promise you forever, Vannah. I have hurt you, neglected you, but now I will only ever fight for you. I will only love you. Time is needed so I can give you what I want...but then it will just be you and I against the world. I promise you that." I placed the makeshift ring upon her finger. And with that, she pulled me onto the bed, allowing me to show her my physical desire to make her mine. And so I did, committing to her in every way I could-promising my future with her...as it should have been all along.
