Chapter nine - Shapeshifter

You felt empty. Sad. Angry. And so many other feelings. Somehow you were dying to hug Dennis again. To hug him even longer. He wasn't that bad right? No. No. He was keeping you in this cage! But something was so attracting. Was it the fact that you felt sorry for this man? For his fucked up personalities? But they seemed to be such unique characters. Was he playing with you? Was he just a good actor? No one knows. But you were sure you were about to find out.

Something just made you want Dennis to be here. With you. And something wanted you to be found by the police and your poor mother. She must be sick from worry.

"Dennis! Dennis!"

And now you were going totally insane!

You sat next to the door, crying for Dennis to come. To see you. To talk to you. Just something!

The door slowly opened, and you stood up and took a step back.

"You were calling?"

Dennis looked at you.

"I... I missed you!"

He raised his eyebrow.

Oh no, he didn't understand a thing.

"I don't want to be alone anymore! Please stay with me", you begged.

"I could ask Hedwig if he..."

"No. Dennis. I want you to stay here."

He still looked confused, but he closed the door.

"And what do you want to do now?"

He stood right in front of you. Your heart beating insanely fast. Your mind telling you to run but it was like a spell was put on you. You stood your ground and slowly pulled him closer to you.

Another hug.

And while you hugged you looked up to him. He was fighting with himself. He was struggling. You could tell.

Anger?
Disgust?
Maybe lust?

What if I take this further? Will he let me go then? Are you out of your damn mind?

You held him close. Heard his heavy and unstable breathing.

"I... I should go now", he said softly.

You looked up, staring at him and trying to focus his eyes. He wasn't bad looking. Not at all.

But he keeps me in that cage! He will not let me go. So why shouldn't I try to make the best out of this?

He looked down on you. You could feel his muscles relax. He wasn't fighting his anger, disgust or whatever anymore. Now he was just looking at you, friendly.

"Why do you do this to me?"

He leaned in a bit closer. Your lips were almost touching, and you could feel this need growing inside you. You wanted that kiss. You surely did. No matter what was going on here. You couldn't hold back your feelings. Something was pushing you towards him.

He sighed but smiled a bit. Yes. Dennis smiled.

All your fear was gone as his soft lips touched yours. At first shyly, as if he was afraid to hurt you. Then a bit more intense. His tongue danced with yours as he grabbed your butt to pull you even closer.

And then it was gone. The heat you felt. That need you had. And Dennis.

"Explain this to me! Now!"

Patricia.
