Lucian
When she went to bed I couldn’t get her off my head so I went into her room and laid down close to her watching her sleep.
My heart kept beating just thinking about the kiss we shared.
I couldn’t hold myself from kissing her when she was so close to me.
I had no idea what came over me at that moment but I don’t regret it cause it made me feel so loved and secure.
I’ve never felt that way before and I love the feeling.
She moved and her hair fell on her face,
I brought my hand and gently tucked it behind her ear.
I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes perceiving her sweet scent.
Hot breeze started blowing and I pulled away from Rose quickly.
I turned and it was Father, I kneeled down in a bow.
* Father *
called.
Lucian!! *
He called and my head bowed lower
* What are you waiting for? I’m running out of patience * He spoke. I kept mute cause I didn’t know what to say * Kill her in the next 24hours and bring me her blood *
I raised my head in shock and my eyes almost popping out of the sockets. 24hours?
* Father that’s too little a time *
I replied
* You’ve fallen in love with her *
* What? No Father *
I said unsure of my words.
* Prove it and do it in the next 24hours *
He spoke and vanished slowly. I got up and looked at her.
Have I fallen in love with you? How? When?
Rose will I be able to sacrifice my dreams for you?
I don’t know what to do anymore,
I can’t hurt even a strand of your hair and that might ruin me.
I held her hand and caressed it,
I bent and placed my lips on her hand.
I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast quickly before she wakes up cause it was late already.
I flipped the pancakes in the pan and served them.
I made her coffee and placed everything on the dinning table.
* Good morning Lucian *
I turned to the beautiful face and smile. I smiled * Come have breakfast * I said to her.
She sat and I sat opposite her,
she kept smiling and staring me.
Imagine cutting this beautiful smile and loving heart shut, no! I can’t do it. * Eat *
I told her, she giggled.
She’s all bubbly this days.
I ate slowly just watching her,
I thought about different things and what I was going to lose if I decide to choose her.
I saw her off and halted a cab to take her to work.
I stood and watched till she was out of my sight.
I sighed heavily and turned to take a walk in the city.
I worked hours and stopped by a cafe,
I got in and took coffee.
I looked at a couple outside close to the flower vender.
The man bought her flowers and she was happy.
I walked across the street and took the prettiest flower I saw.
It smelled really nice.
I walked past a playground and stopped, sat on the bench and watched children play around with their parents.
* Pretty *
I turned and it was a cute little boy touching the flowers I was holding. He looked up at me and I smiled
Is she pretty too?* He asked.
What? *
The lady you bought this for, is she as pretty as the flower? * He asked with his tiny voice, I chuckled
She’s more pretty *
You must like her alot. I want to have a girlfriend too but Dad says I’m too small
*
He said and frowned his cute face, I smiled and touched his hair.
* Yes, you should grow up first *
I told him
when I grow I’m going to have a girlfriend and she will be the most beautiful girl in the world *
He giggled and ran off.
I smiled, he just made me forget my problems for a little while.
Indeed kids bring much joy.
I looked at the flowers and smiled.
It was getting late and Rose will finish up soon.
I got up and took a cab to the restaurant.
I smiled when I saw her smiling and talking to her friend outside the restaurant.
After a while she waved Jane bye and looked around probably looking for me,
I smiled at her sad she looked waiting for me.
I walked out and her lips curved in a very beautiful smile.
* I got you this *
I said and gave her the flowers.
* Thanks *
She blushed shyly, I smiled.
It was late and Rose had gone to bed already and as usual I watched her sleep.
Sometimes I wonder if I get any sleep at all, I just enjoy looking at her.
* KILL HER! KILL HER! KILL HER *
It echoed closely. I bowed
* Father *
I said
* Lucian what’s wrong with you? How dare you defy my orders * Father spoke
* I’m sorry Father but… *
But what Lucian? Speak up!!* He yelled the last part.
* I can’t do it Father, I can’t kill her. I don’t want anything to hurt her. I’m sorry * I said boldly.
Father flamed up and the air become too hot.
I looked at Rose and quickly covered her with the duvet.
* You’ve fallen in love with a mundane, that’s a even greater sin * He said and vanished in flames.
I looked at Rose and removed the blanket, I touched her forehead and it was hot.
I turned on the air conditioner.
What do I do now?
