HER DEVIL

''HIS EVILNESS, HER INNOCENCE''

ALESSANDRO POV:

‘’No, I can find her. You go in the shadow unless asked to be present.’’ I said and walked inside while searching for her sweet scent. I can find her in a mask and a hundred faces. Because she is the only one in all of these people. Walking past few people I wasn’t able to sense her anywhere.

I want her to be here while she seems to be nowhere close. I was starting to get pissed because the only person I attended this stupid party was not here. 

Taking the stairs I felt my heartbeat fasten. This is, was it? I knew she is close. Very close. I didn’t have to look for her anymore. My heart was smiling and laughing with a girl of her age. 

She seemed sun lighting up my nights at the moment. This was the importance of her one single smile in front of me. I want her to fill my life with her happiness.

I can’t just straight to her like that while my heart is demanding me to grab her in front of everyone and claim her. Announcing that she belongs to me the moment I saw her and will stay mien forever. Alive or dead she will be mine purely.

I saw the girl with her walking away and that was the perfect moment for me to get close to her. In the meanwhile, tonight’s dance invitation was made asking every couple to get on stage. But she seemed to walk on the opposite side.

It must be because she won't have a partner yet. And it’s good that way because if she did have one then she won’t have any more after I set my eyes on her. Yes! I know I sound purely selfish and that’s what I am.

She is mine and no one can have what’s mine. And the thing stays like that. I saw her walking silently to the terrace of the hall. Luckily she was left alone there. Completely immersed in looking at the moon smiling. 

I hated how the mask was covering her half face but still, I could see her completely under that. She looked mesmerizing in her black and red gown with glittering work on it. Too much to wear for her tiny size but ten folds to add its beauty.

Even the dress looked pretty after worn by my little creature. She was completely unaware of my presence. My heart was wanting me to grab her and swing her in the air placing kisses on her but it was not all about getting physical. I wanted her heart at the same time too. 

‘’Don’t you want to dance pretty lady?’’ I asked not having patience anymore. I want her to look at me not at the moon right now.

She got a little surprised but shoving it away looked at me with the same smile. I clenched my hand to control because no one else than myself can control me if I don’t.  

‘’Because I don’t want to. And the same goes to you.’’ She said again looking at the front.

‘’Well mine case is different,’’ I said in a sweet tone not wanting to be hard on her.

‘’How?’’ she asked and seemed she was getting interested by now.

‘’Well, it’s a long story and why should I tell you when you will not even help me,’’ I said in a fake sad tone. 

‘’No. I will help. Tell me.’’ She said putting all of her attention at me at once. Because of her kind nature, she was now only focusing on me.

‘’It’s just no one likes my face. I am here today because I can wear a mask or no one would even enter the party.’’ I lied to her to get her to my side.

‘’Really. So bad of them. And it’s their bad judging faces. Every face is likable.’’ She said pitying me. If she knew what I can do and who I was. I wonder if she would say the same. 

‘’Really, aren’t you one of them too?’’ I asked in a low tone.

‘’NO! I don’t do that. I will never do that.’’ She said with complete innocence clearing herself in front of me.

Looking at her just wanted me to swallow her whole. A devil I am.

‘’But they all say that. What is the difference.’’ I said taking her on-point very easily. I want to see how much sympathy she has for herself.

‘’No. I am telling you. I am different.’’ She said, this time whining like a kid. 

‘’And how can you say that without proof,’’ I said in a serious tone to let her know there will be no if and if in this situation.

‘’And how can I prove that.’’ She asked fully determined. Her enthusiasm was on another level. 

‘’Dance with me. Dance with this ugly face.’’ I said telling her my main purpose.

‘’No. yes…. No… I mean I can’t. I don’t… it’s just I don’t know…’’ she said getting confused at the moment.

‘’See you also don’t want to be with me for a single dance only,’’ I said making a sad face.

‘’No. it’s because I don’t know how to dance. That is why I wasn’t dancing in the first place.’’ She said looking down. So this is how my queen looks stressed out.

I chuckled looking at how adorable her reaction was. I wasn’t able to hold back anymore.

‘’You… you are laughing at me. While you told not to make fun of others.’’ She said showing anger. 

So it means little creatures don’t like faults in her and especially for the public to know.

‘’Well, I can help you with that as you will help me get happy,’’ I said telling her that she will learn her dance with me and later will only dance with me. On party nights and even at our wedding. I want to see her in a wedding gown too.

‘’Really, but I will stop if you laugh or get angry in the process.’’ She said cheered up.

‘’Promise. Shall I?’’ I said giving her my hand.

She places her small hand in my big palm. Her hand hides in mine perfectly. Her head reached my chest even she was wearing heels of medium size. 

I placed her one hand on my shoulder and one mine on her back. I could feel her heartbeat from this close. While her light breaths fanning my chests. I took a step forward and she followed me slowly.

Doing two more steps I didn’t like how she kept staring down.

‘’Rule number one. Look at your partner's face while dancing not on your feet.’’ I whispered in her ear bending down to her face level.

Pulling her closer she looked up to my face. Her nose brushed my cheek lightly and she moved back a little nervous. This was torturing for me. Because it seemed almost impossible for me to hold back anymore.

I can’t restrain myself from kissing her. But she will be beyond surprise and scare n this bold act.

‘’But what if I fall?’’ she asked in her soft voice.

‘’I will never let you fall,’’ I said in a firm tone. Because it was true. I will protect and her forever.

‘’thank you.’’ She said smiling. 

Still, she wasn’t able to look at me completely. Her small and nervous steps were, even more, attracting me.

I knew it would be best to teach her slowly because she has the whole life to dance with me only.

Pulling her hand above and twirling her with the finger I brought her back and the first dance song ended and so did the dance I wish it lasted for the whole night. But she seemed overworked and I didn’t want to force her.

‘’Thank you for teaching me.’’ She said smiling.

‘’No. I should thank you for dancing with me. You are a great dancer.’’ I said in a soft tone while smile it came on its own.

‘’Really. Then, it’s my pleasure.’’ She said happily.

‘’But I want to thank you properly. As what you did was more than single thanks deserving.’’ I said looking at her seriously.

‘’Really?’’ she asked confused.

‘’Yes,’’ I said telling my assistant to pass me the crown with hand movement in behind.

He came with a crown and bowed in front of her. She bowed back but I didn’t like it. She is supposed to receive them only. Not to give them back.

 ‘’A little thank you gift,’’ I said taking the corn in my hand.

‘’It’s beautiful.’’ She said while I placed it on her head.

‘’Not more than you,’’ I said and gave a light peck on her cheek. I saw how she turned red by the time right now.

‘’thank you.’’ She said getting shy.

‘’Just thank you,’’ I said looking at her.

‘’I didn't have anything to give you as a return gift so what can I do?’’ She asked me in low mode. 

‘’KISS ME!’’ I said looking at her gorgeous face which lost its color after hearing my words. She looked at me blankly for some time. 

It seemed that she will pass out any time by the looks on her face.
