The Affair
He came to me that night. A
simple meeting of two souls, one running away from the normalcy of
everyday life, another simply trying to escape from the cold hiding
in her soul. I never knew who he really was until he unveiled his
face in the moonlight. Our hands reached out for each other in tandem
with the hidden beating of our hearts. We have been waiting for each
other all this while. We should have known that such a tugging can
never be denied.
"... what is the magnitude of the
force?"
I could feel his stare on me, a kind of beacon
through the dreary day that was starting to turn for the better. His
eyes never left mine even as my eyes were in turn bearing themselves
down at the words that were starting to blur. It did not really
matter anyway because I never knew what they meant in the first
place. Every curve was the tilt of his head, every line an outline of
his lucious lips... If only he knew what my thoughts were! But
risking a glance at him, faced with his smouldering orbs, I think he
did.
"The answer is 50 kN."
The girl in
front spoke up, breaking my train of thought as I silently cursed
her. He had broken our link, looking down at his book in false
consternation, unwilling for anyone else to realise where his
thoughts and glances really belonged to. Smirking slightly to myself,
I continued reading the next question.
"Class, try the
next few questions by yourself."
It was a terse kind of
stillness that fell upon the class as they concentrated on the work
that they were given. They could not see it, nor feel it, but with
every breath that he takes, we escape. Closing our eyes in unison, I
can feel these invisible threads linking us, binding us to each
other. We pass each other, his coat brushing me as I breath in his
scent. It belongs to me.
But we were the only ones who knew
that.
Quietly, a pieces of paper catches my eye as I return
to my seat. He had left it earlier on my table. Tilting my head
slowly at his corner, I nonchalantly glanced at the rest of the class
to feign boredom or consternation, all the while hoping to lock his
gaze. He knows. Smiling slightly at me, he nods his head, then drops
his gaze to the piece of plain paper on my table. Opening it up, I
read the few words that belongs to him, the neat simple strokes
defining who he was.
Tonight, at the
pavilion.

A/N: Hm. Yes, I'm
writing another series, despite the fact that Eternity and a Day
is still uncompleted. This one is mostly written out already, since
I've posted it on my blog and decided to add a little RK flavour to
it. Roughly one or two more chapters on my draft and I'll be done, so
you can expect a weekly posting. All in all, I'm up to chapter 5 now,
so it should be 6-7 chapters, probably 7, since I'm having so much
fun with it. Ooooh, scandalous affairs!
