the unknown

meeting new people

    After she introduced me to everyone she when't on dancing and mingling. I took notice of a creature with a beautiful face, tall blue eyes pale skin and a small beauty mark on his left cheek. it was hidden very well by the bristles of his beard, he had pink lips that looked so tempting to kiss, and beautiful brown hair.

    I when't over to the log he was sitting on, when he noticed me he scooted over and patted the seat next to him.

"Would you like to sit with us?" he asked looking into my eyes. At first I was speechless, he was breathtaking.

    "Sure I'd love too." i smiled and sat down next to him smelling his what I assumed was calonge.

    "I see your they newborn, how are you liking it so far?" he asked me

    "newborn? i'm fully grown not a baby. I'm not a newborn." I told him slightly confused and slightly offensive.

    "lol, not what I men't. What I meant was your new here and your not leaving tell you die so your a newborn. make seines?"

"oh ok, yea it dose I guess... And its alright." I said back a little embarrassed.

    "What happened to your robe it's all dirty? and why is there a hand print on your leg, where you attacked/ wow only here for a little while and already making enemies I see." He said scooting closer and grabbing my leg gently. sparks flew up my leg at his touch and I pulled away quickly not used to the feeling I received.

    "Don't worry I don't want to hurt you, I just want to see." he said looking at me while slowly grabbing my leg and pulling it towards him. He reached into the pocket of the pants he was wearing and pulled a small vile out of his pocket. Once again I pulled away not sure of his intentions.

    " Yo, relax its just some cream, you appear to have a burn. who gave it to you? and why only a robe?" He asked looking at me. i feel my cheeks go bright red and all I can respond with is...

    "why not a robe you got a problem with that?" i mentally face palmed my self while his friend that were sitting by us just laughed at us.

    "No i have no problem with it, however it is pretty reveling and if you like to show off then ok. That's your business not mine." he said looking a little less interested in me.

    "actually I don't know it's just what I found I actually don't even know who's it is." I reply honestly. not wanting him to think that I was too "easy" If you know what I mean. also not wanting him to loose interest in me either.

    " I'll let you in on a little secret, the first piece of clothing you find is your forever it's yours to keep. you enter this world naked and you'll leave the world naked too. what you do and what you wear between them is all based on your hearts desires. as you can see some people are covered head to toe while others are wearing vary little. Some choose not to wear clothes at all." he said pointing some people out. I didn't notice until then but he was right and that made me feel a little bit better and not so open to everyone's eyes. 

    he continued to rub the cream on my leg and the hand print faded but just slightly.

    " so who did this?" he asked looking at me with those Georges eyes.

    " I don't know who, but she had the prettiest purple eyes and beautiful red hair." I told him giving him all the information could.

    " What creature was she?"

    " A mermaid. but it's not that bad it's just a little mark."

    "No it's not just a little mark. why don't you come back to my place and I'll give you some clothes to barrow and you can tell me all abought what happened and how it happened." he said grabbing my hands pulling me up to stand with him.

    "What abought your friends I don't want to take you away from them." i said not really sure If I wanted to go to his place or not.

    " they can take care of themselves, can't they? " he asked looking and his friends

    " go, go were good. and welcome to this world, uh what was your name again?" one of his friends said looking at me.

    "My name is Rain what's yours?" i ask trying to stall us from leaving a little longer.

    "My name is Tyler." " It's nice to meet you" he said reaching his hand out to shake mine. i go to shake his hand but the boy I had my eyes on grabbed my hand said bye to his friend and dragged me off.

    " i'm sorry mister but that was just rude." I said looking at him as we walked side by side.

    "My name isn't mister" he said pulling me along.

    "Then what is your name?" I asked looking at him waiting for a response.

    "The names ray." 

    "Well ray that was just rude."

    "Why? because I don't want him touching you?"

    "why you got to be so uptight he didn't do anything wrong and also, what gives you the right to tell me who can and can't touch me?" I ask folding my arms as we get to his house. He pulls his keys out of his pocket and and opens the doors.

    "I just don't want him to touch you that that's all. Come on in before you catch a cold."

    " It's not even cold out here." 

    " ok then stay out there and get sick I'm just trying to help."

    "Fine if you insist." I said stepping through the door way, I only walked a couple of feet into the house then shut the door behind me. Looking around, the house wasn't big but it was cozy and welcoming, and It was warm. I didn't even relies how cold it was outside tell I felt the warmth inside the house then i saw what he mean't abought catching a cold as I sneeze twice.

    "Bless you, see already your getting a cold. now when you entered this world where did you enter. did you enter in a house or on a street? " He asked looking as me as I followed him down a hallway  but stopping right outside his bed room door. Not wanting to overstep my boundary.He when't to his closet and looked me up and down. I blushed and looked away he then pulled out a pair of shorts and a T shirt then he handed them to me.

     "I walked onto a back porch a wooden one but that's all I remember. It's just up the street not to far." I said holding the clothes in my hand.

    "The bathroom is two doors to the right, or you can change in here if you'd like. I recommend you stay here tonight, beings you've already been attacked. i have a spare room or a couch it's all up to you where you wan't to sleep." he said leaning against the wall with his arms folded looking at me.

    "Thank you I'm not really tired yet though. Can i just get dressed in here if that's alright with you?" I asked feeling a little awkward.

    "What ever makes you feel comfortable." he said walking back into the living room. It really was a nice robe but I was happy to get out of the wet clothes I was wearing and into some dry ones. After i got dressed i folded up my robe nicely and walked back to the living room seeing him sit on the couch I walked over and sat on the other side of the couch.

    "Here if you hand me your robe i can get it cleaned for you." he said looking at me getting up from his spot.

    "Thank you. you've been very kind I appreciate it." I said handing it to him.

    "Would you like anything to eat or drink? " he asked.

    " I'm not hungry but what do you have to drink?" I asked suddenly feeling parched.

    "I have water, juice, tea, o hot cocoa." He said looking around his kitchen I got up and walked over to the kitchen standing on the other side of the counter. The kitchen was set up kinda like a box. you had cabinets up top going all the way around the kitchen except where the  fridge was, there was a dishwasher, right next to the sink and an island in the middle of the kitchen, and a stove of course.

    "Hot cocoa please if that's ok." i asked feeling a little strange being in a strangers house.

    "Sure." He said grabbing the packet out of the box and proceeding to make me hot chocolate. After he made me hot chocolate we headed back to the living room. he asked me what I liked to watch and I didn't really have an answer because I couldn't remember ever watching T.V. so we settled on what he was watching before. it was some kind of cartoon and I kinda liked it.

    "We can talk more abought your burn tomorrow, but for right now I'm going to bed. I can show you your room if you'd like?" 

    "Yes please" I say standing up and followed him down the other side of the hall. it appeared to be a three bed room house and my room was just on the other side of the hallway acrossed from his. I when't into the room and looked around it was simple. There was a bed by the wall and a dresser abought two feet away from it. and a desk on the oposet side of the room. there was there was a closet right next to the desk.

    After he showed me the room he when't back to his room and when't to bed. I when't out into the living room and turned the t.v down so I wouldn't wake him. I couldn't help but to think. why would he let   a stranger into his house? was my robe washed yet? Why did I feel sparks run up my leg when he touched it? why was he so protective? why would it matter If i shook his friends hand?, that's all it was was a handshake. If I was a newborn how old would that make him? who was the mermaid and why did she burn me? I still didn't tell him abought the bird running off saying trouble.

    There was a lot of new things Here that I wasn't expecting, I'm glad I found someone nice.  I sat there and watched T.v the rest of the night and most of the next day. thinking abought everything.
