FALLEN

Fire & Friction

I am really angry and embarrassed throwing myself to him. Why would he reject me? Ahhh!! He is making me crazy. And seeing him this beautiful only makes me madder inside. I desire for him to touch and kiss me, make love to me. Why can’t he understand that?

While I walked to the bookstore to get some books to read for the weekend, I saw Mark with some groceries bumping into Kochiko. They laughed at each other and as if she invited him to her hotel room. And that is it, I’m so furious now. He by passed my needs and he welcomed my cousin’s invitation with a smile. Hmp!!!! This is war.

Ojichan, Mama and Shita were already at the breakfast table, while Mark is serving the meal wearing an apron. He looks so…..cu…erh, stoppp, Belle. Good morning!, Mark said softly smiling like a baby.

Good morning!, I replied blankly. Ah!!!, Belle, what’s up with you? How’s the bookstore going?. Mama asked breaking the awkward silence. Ojichan and Shita were looking at me, waiting for an answer. It’s doing well, we had many customers since cherry blossoms festivals coming, Belle said distastefully.

Oh, okay, hehe! Try Mark’s omelette, it’s so good, as if it’s made with lo…, Shita said happily but I cut her short. Love!!, hmmm, I wonder if the person who cooked this really knows what love is? I added grumpily while preparing to taste his eggs ( I mean the omelette, not his eggs, ah f*...k, you know what I mean!)

Ah so, how do you like your eggs, Belle? Mark asked smiling at me. Ojichan, Mama and Shita were looking at each other and then to Mark and me like we’re in a battle, what is she or he gon’na say battle .

Eggs, huh, I don’t know, how do you like Kochiko's pu***y (blank, blank!!!! Sensored word, I’m sorry) Belle shouted in anger, now crying, she stood up from the table and ran out of the dining room. Mama is now covering Shita’s ears who is smiling devilishly. Ojichan is looking at Mama and Mark half questioning what’s the matter with Belle this morning. Mark curled his brows wondered what did he say wrong, now. You better follow her Mark!, go and talk to her!, Mama thoughtfully said and brushed his shoulder to go after Belle.

Belle, Bel….what’s wrong? Mark shouted, running after her on her bicycle. Stop following me Mark, leave me alone, I’m so embarrassed throwing myself to you like that last night and you just ignored my feelings. You turned me down and I felt silly.

What about Kochiko, I saw you and her this morning…and…Belle said being jealous to the max now.

What about her, she’s a friend and since she’s your family, she is mine too. She invited me to her room but I refused since I need to cook breakfast for you and your family, Mark said honestly, drying a tear from her cheek.

You know I can run or fly to follow you even to the ends of the earth, and ask for your forgiveness even if I burn in hell loving you…Mark added stopping the bike and holding her hand. Love…meee!! Belle said now confused.

Yes, I love you so much it hurts. If I give in to what you desire I would be hurting you more, what if I leave all of a sudden??? Mark added with mixed emotions.

I’ll wait for you, Belle instantly said. What if something happens to me and I died or what? Mark added. You can never die, you’re an angel, Belle replied lifting a brow. Okay, how about if I went to a mission and it takes a month, year or what, will you still wait for me??? Mark asked crazily and now cupping Belle’s tiny delicate face with his big hands though it’s looking down. I’ll still wait for you, however long it takes, because I love you Mortha, Mark, whatever, whoever you are!, Belle added now looking at Mark steadily, her eyes fixed on his beautiful face. Yes, yes, I know, I feel you will, but it’s cruel for me to do that to you. I want you to have a normal life, with someone beside you until you grow old. And it’s not me. I am immortal and it hurts to think, you will live, grow old and die on me. I think I won’t be able to take that and….Mark said now teary eyed. Sshhhh! Please Mark, don’t think about that anymore, I am here and we will make it. Let’s do this one step at a time. Maybe, a miracle can happen and I believe that it can though I am not that religious, Belle replied smiling at Mark and giving him a smack on the cheeks and then on the lips. Mark’s whole being swelled up like he is so full inside he can die of happiness right then and there. Oh, my Belle, you make me so happy!!! Mark said kissing her deeply now and then it rained. It poured so hard, the couple ran to a near barn beside the lake. It is an old one with nothing but dried hay and worn out constructions. It was being rebuilt a couple of years ago, since my dad was the one who wanted to reconstruct the barn. Yet when he died the rebuilding didn’t happen. The rain seems not stopping and both of us are really wet that we needed to hug each other to form heat. Mark held me close to his chest and as if like magic I felt warm, so warm I don’t feel cold. I looked at Mark’s face, his eye balls changed to golden yellow and he is like seeing through me, my soul, my heart and my mind. I was so mesmerized, like a magnet, I kissed him. His lips caught mine and his tongue wanted entrance, I gave him permission and he moved his tongue around my mouth and tasted every bit of me there. I loved the warmth and the passion. He is so hot and I feel hot inside that I wanted to burst into flames right now.
