Man in Mystery

2.

As I made it to my living room, I received another call. "Hello?" "Yes, is this Lindsay?" "Yes, it is." "Hello, it's Marsha. I read your portfolio, very interesting. I think you would be very good on the team. Can you start on Monday at eight?" "Of course, I can." "Good, wear something business related. I will see you then." She hung up before I could get anything else in. I made it to my bedroom. I saw a note next to a pink rose. The note read:

Dearest Lindsay, I am proud of you getting the job. I cannot wait to read your books. I know one day you will make an amazing author. Good luck on Monday. Your Man in Mystery.

He left me a note, but what for? I didn't even know who this man was, or why he was helping me with my dreams. All I can say is that my best bet was to push him from my mind, so I can be the best I can be. I made myself another cup of coffee and jumped into the bed to watch cartoons. I committed murder for this guy, and I am acting like nothing can break my spirits. I stared at the note besides me for a while. I didn't know why him near me had made me happy, but it did. This man has changed my life, and I liked that this new bad side in me stirred my creative side. Maybe I could do more evil things for more inspiration.

I drifted to sleep as I stared at his note. I dreamt that he was holding me as I caressed his face. I wanted more from him, was it in my best interest? Does he think of me the same way? Will I ever find out? What seemed like minutes turned into hours. When I woke up, the sun had fallen into night. I wanted to see him, but I knew it would be a mistake tonight. I wanted so much more; I could feel every nerve in my body tingle. I wanted him so much that wanted turned into needed.

I woke up the following morning. The dream I had last night was intense, but again, I must stay away from a relationship right now. I needed to become a somebody before I lose sight of what is in front of me. Dear God, I was falling in love with this strange man. I must see him, I needed to know who this man was. The man that played God for me and handed me my dreams. He practically laid them in my lap. I managed to crawl out of bed and made it to the kitchen. "Hey girl, I made coffee for you." "Thanks Lana." Lana was my best friend and now my roommate. "Hey where have you been these couple of days? I am worried sick about you." "I am starting my dream job; they saw my portfolio and they loved it." "I am happy for you!"

As I was walking away, I could tell she was going to say something. I turned back around. "So, Sarah, who is this man in mystery?" "My letter, you went into my room?" "I went looking for you, I thought you left it for me to read." I smacked my face with a faceplant. I should have known to move it. "He is just this guy." "Just a guy?" "If I tell you the whole story, you must promise to take this to your grave. I am not kidding." "Okay, I promise." "Remember me telling you how my ex was hurting me?" "Yeah?" "Well, this man came to me one night while I was walking home. He made me an offer that I tried to refuse. He haunted me at every corner, until I said yes." "What was the offer?" "I had to kill my ex in order for my dreams to come upon me." "You murdered him?" "I had too, I needed my freedom back. You know best of all." "Yeah, I meant leave him, not kill him." "Please Lana, do not tell anyone?" "I promise."

"I start work on Monday, by the way." "Are you going to see him?" "What?" "He clearly likes you; you should see him again." "This is madness, Lana. I cannot see him right now." "Why not? He likes you, and by the blushing, you like him too." "I do not!" "Now you are defensive, tell me something I don't know." "Maybe a little." "Ha, I knew it, so call him." I walked away smiling. Of course, she had no idea that I would have to wait until dusk to see him again. She was right though; I enjoyed every second with him.

The evening came all too fast. I felt like my heart was going to fall from my chest. I did as I told Lana, I called for him. I called the man in mystery to come to by my side. "You called?" "I did. I need to know, why have I been dreaming of you? Why can't I put you from my mind?" "Yes, I see. I have planted those dreams. You see, I can't stay away from beauty such as yours. I have been watching you for years, and I only got closer to you." "But why me? What is so different that you chose me out of every other person in the world?" "Because you are the most talented that I have seen in years. I am not who you think I am. I am not of the human race. I am immortal. Still, I cannot tell you of my name." "I never want to see you again after tonight. My heart can't bear it."

The man looked sad. "Why, if I may ask?" "I am falling in love with you." As I turned around, I am greeted with a kiss. He was the guy in my fantasies. The one who rescued the princess. I wanted this more than my dream job. "Sarah, I love you too. Please do not send me away like this. Keep me in your shadows, I can help you excel." He was crying, for whatever creature of darkness he was, it was cute. I kissed him back. This time I couldn't break away. I wanted more than a kiss. He laid me down, as we continued to kiss. My mind went blank, all I could think of was him controlling my mind, I wanted him to take over. This was easing my troubled mind. He took my shirt off and unhinged my bra. This was going farther than expected. I was now laying under him, letting him hold and caress me.

My pants were now off, and he began kissing my neck. He groped my breasts and I lost it. I wanted nothing more than for him to completely take over my mind and body. We were both naked now. He paused from kissing me. "Are you sure you want to continue? I can stop at any time." "Don't stop, please?" He chuckled, "I like you begging me, it's so f*****g hot." He slid into me as I moaned. I have never done this before, so I was in a little bit of pain. It only lasted a second before he railed into me. My mind was not my own, and I was no longer myself. All I could think about was the sweet pleasure he brought upon me. I let myself fall apart as he followed my lead. I held him into me, I wanted him to fill me with his load. We both moaned in satisfaction, then we laid bare. He caressed me and held me as I began to cry.
