Chapter Three
It was morning and the sun shone brightly over the city. The sun's rays reached Gene's living room, making them glow like gold. They lay there, as if they were is sweet bliss. And really, they were.
Jim came out of his room, stretching and then yawned. He walked down the hall and ended up in the living room. He stopped dead in his tracks. His arms fell to his sides and he stared blankly at Gene and the strange girl next to him. Usually he wouldn't think anything of it, but, then, something was different. For some reason, he didn't think it was just another one-night-stand that Gene had every once in a while, Jim felt something different from them.
Jim walked towards the couch and sat on the low table across from the couch. He rolled his eyes and pushed Gene's feet off the side of the table, causing him to wake up.
"Finally," Jim said, and motioned toward the girl next to Gene. "So, who's the girl?"
Gene rubbed his eyes with his free hand and looked at Melfina. She looked like an angel from heaven. He smiled to himself and looked up at Jim. "Melfina."
"And where did you find her?" Jim asked, looking her over. "She's prettier than the other girls you bring over."
"Yeah, well, she's also in danger," he said. "And I'm not sure how I can help her."
"What are you talking about?" Jim asked, with a confused look.
"Nothing, just thinking out loud," he said, and slowly got off the couch. "I'm going to take a shower."
"What about her?" Jim asked.
"She'll be fine," he said, and stumbled to the bathroom. "If she wakes up, give her some breakfast or something, okay?"
Jim rolled his eyes. "All right."
"Thanks, kid," he said, and went into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
He turned on the warm water and took off his clothes. He then stepped into the shower. The water ran down his body like a waterfall and splashed onto the floor. He stood there under the gushing water, trying to think of ways to save Melfina.
Meanwhile…
Melfina slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She looked around. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She didn't remember. She didn't remember what had happened last night and why she was in a house that wasn't hers. She noticed pictures on the table that was beside the couch and picked them up.
One of the pictures was of a very attractive woman with violet colored hair. The edges of the photograph were ripped off and there was a message on the back of it. It read: "To my favorite outlaw, Gene Starwind. From Hilda." She put the picture back on the table and looked at the other one. It was of a familiar-looking man. He had red hair and he was very handsome. She turned the picture over and read the message. "To Hilda. Love, Gene." That was when she remembered everything. She remembered meeting Gene at the restaurant and him letting her stay at his house. She smiled to herself and placed the picture over the other one.
She looked at her watch and saw that she had to be in work in two hours. So she folded the blankets and placed them back onto the couch. She looked one last time at the room-hoping he would walk in the room-and then left.
She waved down a taxi and hopped inside.
"Where to miss?" the taxi driver asked in a squeaky voice.
"Fifth street, please," she said.
Once they were there, she paid the driver and walked up the stairs and into her apartment. She opened the door and was surprised to see her sister, sitting at the kitchen table.
"Suzuka," Melfina said, "what are you doing here?"
"Maybe I should ask you the same thing," she said, and turned to her. "I came to visit you last night, but you weren't here."
Melfina blushed, and sat down at the kitchen table. She couldn't tell her sister about Gene, so she had to lie. "I had to work late."
Suzuka rolled her eyes. "Don't lie, Melfina," she said. "I know that you're lying because your nose twitches when you lie. And anyway, you're not good at it."
"All right," she said, and sipped Suzuka's tea. "I spent the night at a guy's house, but it was for a good reason."
"I'm sure it was," she replied, with a sly grin.
"Forget whatever you're thinking, Suzuka, because it wasn't like that," she said, blushing.
"Then what was the reason?"
"Harry."
It only took Melfina to say one word for Suzuka to be outraged in anger.
"Is he bothering you again, Melfina?" Suzuka asked, grasping onto her wooden sword.
"It's okay," she said. "He won't bother me anymore. Don't worry, I'll be all right."
"I'm going to stay here for a while, just in case he comes here," Suzuka said, and sat down.
"I have to get ready for work," Melfina said, standing up.
"I'm coming with you when you leave, Melfina."
"Okay," she said, rolling her eyes.
Melfina walked to her room and got ready to go to work.
Gene got out of the shower and walked into the living room. He was surprised to see that Melfina wasn't there. He then went into the kitchen, but she wasn't there either.
"Jim," Gene said. "Where's Melfina?"
"Isn't she on the couch?" Jim asked, as he typed on his computer.
"No."
"Maybe she left," he replied.
Gene sat down at the table. "Where could have she gone to?"
