The Angelic Devil

GREEN EYED STRANGER

*Unedited material but promise you'll like it😊

It never crossed my mind that one could feel irritation and fascination simultaneously at the same moment.It felt practically impossible and I wouldn't have believed if I wasn't experiencing it right now.

It vexed me being dragged about by a complete stranger in a rhythmic swaying they called dancing ,which was completely alien to me.

What surprised me was the tiny existence of crisp fascination beneath the annoyance towards the person that had me dancing with him, twirling me now and then along the music , gazing down at me with emerald eyes brighter than any jewel these maidens wore , a mop of stubborn jet black hair that fell into his eyes refusing to stay behind a fine coat of gel. Every feature of him seemed like sculpted out with outmost precision.
As if in a dream I stared into those remarkable eyes that seemed deeper than the ocean.

As I stared at him all the worries faded into the back of my mind ,this moment with his arms around me felt more precious than ever ,more important than something I came here for , what was it again , why was I here ? .My mind felt too hazy to decipher anything and everything else faded into nothing besides a certain green-green eyes that took possession of my mind.

He slowly leaned toward me , filling up my vision with his handsome visage....clank..
clatter of plates penetrated my ears as they fell somewhere near me it, brought my traitarous mind back to being functioning and when it did I felt the chill, like being dunked by a bucket if ice and my spine snapped strainght.

Handsome.....what hell is wrong with me.

I stared at him with new eyes , my eyes , not the eyes of some love infected women with a desease of haywire hormone mechanism. I saw it , beneath that glowing handsomeness something dark lurked.There was something about this guy which was truly unsettling.Beneath that blue black tunic and scaled mask there was something unnerving.

Suddenly his presence suffocated me , all of my training kicked in to the tips of my hair waiting to be released like a chained beast.
The blade againt my thigh burned with cold fury and I started  seeking for spots around his neck if he gets the idea to try something nasty.

While I was trying to set him aflame then and there with my glare he returned it with the same intensity  He didn't glare but gazed at me with a mix of emotions in them which I could not decipher.

Even though he saw the change in me he didn't let on but continued dancing with the grin that pushed my patience off the cliff.

His spell binding appearance could not keep the duke out of my mind and my purpose here  which I almost forgot.Cursing myself for letting down my guard I sought the duke yet again,and my eyes settled on a figure who almost collided with a waiter and walking behind the corner.That was my cue to end this nonsense dancing and get far far away from the stranger.

"Looks like the lady's mind is elsewhere, perhaps I am not a good dancer" the stranger said.His voice caused a tingling inside me which I completely ignored or tried to, something was definitely fishy about the way I behaved just now and I had a strong feeling that this man was in the middle of it.

" That' s definitely not the case Mr......"

" Alvarez"

"Mr Alvarez you are a very good dancer as in many other things" I did not have to explain any further , I knew from the way his perfectly groomed eyebrows shot upward that he had got what I had meant.

If this guy was indeed the one who did it to me and taking the bait just so he couldn't control his facial features was very suspisious .He did it and even dared to get caught , he is not simple or did he take me for an idiot who would fall for his game , what was he plotting?.

"I apologise for dragging you like that , I was afraid of losing the chance to dance with the most beautiful women I have met" he said grinning even wider.

" I am flattered by your kind remark though ,I would advise against dragging me but this time I'll forgive you and I hope there is no next time" I said

" I promise , next time I'll ask for your hand in dance like a proper gentleman" He said stepping closer but there was no grin on his face , but gazed at me with an expression which was completely unfamiliar to me.

why didn't I step back..

I cleared my throat and said,

" By no next time I meant we won't meet again Mr Alvarez"

There was a pause.His gaze burned into me and in there an emotion familiar to me too well, cold rage burned threatening to swallow me .A few heavy seconds passed and then he laughed......He ..laughed.

" Ha ha ha....it's.....it's the first time I heard those words from a lady" He ceased his laughing but the grin stayed.

"I meant it " warning laced my voice.No one had ever laughed at me not even waverly who preferred kind smiles, others didn't dare but he did .He knew who I was everyone did know the silver haired monster , the king's henchwomen who was called champion to bring the hate to minimum but failed . It doesn't mean that I cared if anyone loved me or not , all I cared was the person who loved me and whome I loved ,who was currently locked up at the king's palace and being tortured for his amusement and to hurt me.

" That ...I cannot do , we will meet more times than you would like and it's another promise" He said , the shadow of the earlier  flame clashing my roaring one.

That did it , I was angry , more than angry this Alvarez guy had gone too far,talking mysteriously like he knew more than he let on and the frustration to know he had me there with the claws of curiosity choking me to submission.

I should know better than giving him what he wanted , I should walk away and ignore his existence.He knew me but he was a mystery to me but there are many more important things than some random green eyed stranger, like the freedom of my sister.

The music was nearing it's end and it was  time to get on with my mission .I stepped away from him and backing away I said

" Then I've to make sure that never happens"

There was no fire no grin nothing just the green of his eyes with gold specks splattered around his irises which alone spoke volumes.

I walked away without turning back shaking the cold in my spine that was coiled like a python.Stashing those green eyes to the farthest corner of my mind I slipped back into angelic devil.

With my skirt swishing behind me ,  boots thundering against the floor I rounded the corner to enter a dim lit hallway , away from the crowd and merry ,I slipped into the dark parts ,the evil parts ,where I belonged , where someone like me deserved to be , away from happiness.

There was no time for depression but only action and tonight I am gonna catch a duke.
