*LIKE A MOTH DRAWN TO FLAME*
((flashback))
Shots of gun ranged on my ears as I dashed upstairs and burst in my room and hid beneath the bed trembling with fear. I could hear the laugh and footsteps approaching my room as I sank deeper under my bed h...
The airplane had the look of a billionaire's private jet. There were no rows of seats, only the most elegant leather couches and coffee tables with ornate cabriole legs. There were plush curtains at the windows and a plasma screen as large as a movie theatre.
"don..is..you own a fucking private jet!" i exclaimed. he smirked at me and nodded. "how the hell are you THAT rich you just own a small roadside cafe!"
i handed my travel bag to one the air hostess as don faced me. "calm down woman..my parents are rich not me..plus that cafe you know is my hobby."
i smiled and kissed him on cheek. "thank you so much! god! im so lucky to have you as my bestfriend"
i placed myself on the comfortable couch behind him and yawned.."how long the flight is again?" i asked fighting myself to stay awake.
"its a 8 hour flight kiddo...take some rest." he uttered.
i watched as silver planes crossed evening skies, their white tails left to fade with the last of dusk.
...
landing at the largest airport in the northern spain. we walked with our luggage checking my passport once or twice. i feel the fresh air hit me as i exited the airport. Bilbao, an industrial port city in northern Spain and one of the most staggering city in the world.
we climbed out of the taxi and made our way in the luxurious hotel Carlton
"nur why dont you wait in the lobby i'll get the keys of our penthouse"
"you bought a penthouse!..a normal room would have been fine.."
"the view from the penthouse is awe inspiring..believe me you wont regret it once you see it"
i politely agreed and sat on a near by sofa and examined the grand architecture.The hotel lobby is sparse on the usual ornate detailing, more geometrical and classical. a majestic skylight encircled and illuminated the entire lobby, a striking chandelier hanged in the middle...its crystalline glass reflecting a prism.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE ELSE CHECKED IN!" don shouted... i bolted towards him clearly startled.
"what is it?" i asked.
"i dont believe them...just yesterday i made the reservation for the penthouse and now the employee is like someone else booked it and checked in this morning."
"sir, can you please calm down..we'll give you the best room in our hotel...please just give me a minute" the receptionist offered.
"hey, relax don..its okay!" i said. he sighed and nodded. after whole 5 minutes the receptionist provided us with our room keys.."enjoy your stay!" she smiled and i thanked her.
"meet me at the lobby at 8" he smiled "and ah be dressed"
...
the room was huge and didn't look like a hotel room at all...more like a guest suite in an Italian palace. The bed was king-sized with pure white, Egyptian cotton sheets. there in the middle a thirty-six-inch TV with video and DVD, a sprawling leather sofa, and, on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling windows and a private terrace. i took off my boots and fell onto the bed the mattress sunk under my weight as snuggled deeper into the silken duvet. my dark hair spread out around my head like a halo. i closed my eyes and yet again fell into a slumber.
He looked at me then, his black eyes drilling into mine. I couldn't help but think - I'd never seen such dark eyes with so much emptiness in them staring into his eyes, I was shocked to say I found nothing inside. Nothing. It was like, looking inside a depth of ever-ending darkness combined with a large amount of charcoal being thrown at your rosy red cheeks. I blinked, attempting to think this was a small side effect of my paranoia, but nothing changed. His eyes were black. Pure black.
i blinked again coming back to life...i gasped and took deep breath
i stood up and went to the veranda my body shaking..fear gripped my heart and a rush of adrenaline raced through my body.
