| | Silence. Then, in a voice barely
above a whisper, he asked me, Have you ever killed anyone?
The
question surprised me. Of course not. Hmmm… was
all he said. Bet you aren’t that crazy yet, huh?
No way.
He hummed
again. Like a string being torn to shreds.
Where was
this conversation going? Why ask that in the first place? Unless…
Well.
I jumped.
Well. Maybe
I am.
I froze. He was staring at me. With
his chocolate brown eyes. But they weren’t meltingly sweet the way they used to
be when he was staring at me. Instead, they were pitch black coals.
One step back.
He didn’t seem to notice. Or at
least pretended not to.
Another step.
I shouldn’t have gone alone. Lying
to my parents like that. Just to see him. Just to be with him.
I was quietly edging away.
And I loved him so…. I still did.
I stopped.
This was the end, I realized. I was
going to die.
He was walking towards me.
No.
He was pacing. Hunting…
Then I understood.
How lucky I was…
To die in the arms of my love. My prayers were finally answered.
His finger held up my chin.
His eyes again. Coal black.
He leaned in, and I felt his lips
on mine. And for that last second, I once again saw the chocolate eyes I loved.
And then it ended. |
