Forbidden love: a supernatural mystery

chit-chat

...

"well maybe fate lead us to each other", he said but it felt more like a question.

"do you really believe in that", the words came out more ruder than I thought, but again he didn't say anything and this is what I hate about him..it makes me mad how he is so calm about everything.

"I certainly do",was all he said.

then I started walking again, I didn't know what to reply to that.. I never really believed in soulmates anyways..well maybe a little bit but not when it's all happening to me, I only knew that the person standing right in front of my eyes was nothing right now..this feeling is nothing.

"So tell me about yourself..I never saw you here before so I'm guessing you're new ?",I tried to change the topic and do some interrogation.

"oh yeah I just moved here a few days ago..it's for business purposes my father sent me here to collect some knowledge that apparently only your towns library owns.." he cooly replied

"Oh wow um I love libraries and books myself so, we should visit the library soon", well..soon if I get a break from everything.

"well that would be great !!, it's nice to know atleast one person here", he was pretty sweet I saw no visible red flags...maybe it's not that bad of an idea.

"yeah we should go tommorow..well if you are free ofcourse haha", I didn't want to sound way too excited.

"oh yeah I'm fine with that", he chuckled

then I was just thinking to ask another good question, all I could think of was where was from, since he's new here..

"oh so if you are new here then where are you from ?", I asked

"I'm from london", I was way too shocked by his answer and I'm pretty sure it showed on my face pretty clearly because he was grinning.

"london ?!?", I repeated..

"yeah and why is that a shocker miss rose", and when he said my name it felt nice.. very.. nice.

"well you don't always see a guy from london lurking on the streets of new orleans do you", I laughed

"well if you are from london then why don't you have an accent" was another question I asked which I was curious about.

"Well clearly because of the respose I might get", he said while examining at my face and..it must be too obvious that I was dazzled by it. and I didn't know what to say.

"wow..", was all I managed to get out with a sigh, god I must've sounded awful.

"I mean it's really nice..you should do it often..well atleast when you are with me", it wasn't a lie I actually did liked his accent and voice..it was like sweet music.

"well then whatever you say", he chuckled, we continued to walk a little more but then we sat down on a bench.

the wind felt pleasant, it was a soft cool breeze, with some colorful leaves flying around as we had our warm coffee to warm us up, it was getting a little chilly and I may have shuddered because allistair put his coat over my shoulders, I was covered by his scent. It was so close to me I wanted to hug it even tighter but...that would be creepy so, I just looked at him and smiled.

then again I noticed the same guy from the cafe standing beside a tree again looking at us...it was like he was spying, did allistair know about this ? who is this guy ? why is he following us ?, I really needed to stop making my expressions too obvious because allistair seemed like a really good reader.. it was like he had the magical-deducing-the-obvious powers

"hey are you okay ?", he was worried

"yeah ?..oh yes yes I just uhm.. Uh anyways, so where do you live" I changed the topic.

"well not so far from the cafe its two blocks after", he replied

"wow then our houses are surely not that far either I'm guessing..you should visit sometime yk like other than a cafe meet up", It was definitely an invitation but I didn't mind, I felt comfortable with him.

"yeah ofcourse why not..so you tell me a little about yourself hm", he asked

I was really bad at talking or telling about myself..by myself, like you can only get to know me by interrogation

"well what is it that you wanna know", I asked in return.

"This might be random but uh..do you like believe in all the mythical stuff", out of everything this is what he asked-

"like..you mean vampires, werewolves, witches and wizards and stuff"

"yeah that.."

"well I don't deny of the fact they exist but..my belief is not that strong either..minus the uh witchcraft..I believe that is as real as it can be..everything else on the other hand well it's not that strong but I guess I kind of believe in it", I tried to explain myself but the words came out too raw

"why do you have such a strong belief on witches though", he asked a question that crossed my limits but it wasn't his fault..he was not to blame for it. and I don't mind that she made me believe in this stuff, Infact I actually enjoy studying myths and folklore.

I didn't know what to reply to him tho I was just fidgeting my fingers, gladly he spoke

"It's okay if you are not comfortable on telling me.. I understand that and I will respect that, just if you ever want to talk I'm here..even if it's not right now", he was comforting me, it was more of a confirmation but whatever it was I liked it.

"Thank you", was all I was able to say

"ofcourse", he smiled softly.. "can I ask you something else", he countinued

"yeah sure go ahead", I replied..I was okay with it as long as it didn't cross my boundaries.

"what is that...mark on your arm", at first I was a little confused by what he meant but then I understood what he meant

he was talking about the crescent shaped mark on my wrist, it was suprising how he noticed that..considering I was wearing a full sleeve. I was a 100% sure now that he was way too observant.

"oh this, well I'm pretty sure it's just a birth mark, I never really paid much attention to it honestly...why did you question about this in particular", I asked in return, and I was actually curious why was he asking the most strangest questions in the world and not just like what's your favourite color or I don't know favourite food or whatever.

"I just thought it's pretty cool..I read about these elemental birth marks like..a sun or in your case..a moon"

"hm strange, tell me about it..", and I was actually intruiged

"I think it said something like they are suppose to bear some sort of special abilites..like powers I think", he said followed by laugh, which made me think he's joking ofcourse so I didn't take it much seriously either.

"wow- damn bummer it's not true..like imagine the power I would have..wooaaahhhhh", I chuckled too.

We were just laughing together and I noticed that guy again this time sitting on the other side, maybe he wasn't spying and it was just my imagination thinking random things.. and he was just a normal guy on a stroll

this all can be a very huge coincidence I mean why else would a person follow us like..I don't see the motive so I diverted my eyes and mind from him completely forgetting about him and focusing on allistair, but then again we didn't have much time because it was already getting pretty late so I had to say good-bye.

"I think it's getting pretty late and I should go home now...", I didn't really want this to end but..it had to anyways

"yeah you are right..I can drop you home if you like", he suggested

"Oh no no don't trouble yourself I'll book a cab or walk home it's not that far"

"no please I would like that you reach home safely", he said again and this time I couldn't really refuse him..because he was right if I actually had someone following me then maybe this protection would be nice.

the car ride was pretty normal and quiet too but it wasn't awkward, he had a pretty nice car he seemed rich too. Now isn't that a win-win situation.

I don't care what anyone says but I believe that money can buy happiness..in all ways, I can debate on it forever.

my house reached and we said our good-byes, he even asked for my number so we can stay in touch, we decided to rendezvous tommorow same spot in the park and then from there we would go to the library together.

I offered him dinner but he refused so I didn't force him, I was just being polite anyways. anyone else would think I'm really bold for inviting a man to my house at night who I just met.

I got inside and the same strange feeling took over me, it was like I was being watched again, like I was not alone. I checked out the peep hole but Allistair was already gone. I tried not to pay attention to it and went to bed, I didn't feel hungry so I just slept thinking that we would meet again, and that thought helped me in sleeping peacefully.
