Chapter 10
I stayed in his arms for several moments. My head was nuzzled into the nook between his neck and shoulder again. He held me tightly just as I held him. I was waiting for his response.
"I have my responsibilities there, but I have you here. I've never met anyone like you so I will consider this wisely," he spoke sincerely.
It wasn't the worst answer I could have gotten but it wasn't the best either. I couldn't believe how attached I had gotten to him in the short time he was here. I hoped he felt exactly the same way about me.
"It seems that I'll have quite some time to think about it as well. It doesn't seem that we'll find the way back for a while. I'm sure we can figure something out," he continued.
This made me feel a little better. I guess I just had to enjoy the time I spent with him.
"*sigh* If only there were decent men in my time... Maybe there are but I've never met anyone like you either," I told him trying to hold back my tears while thinking that he'll probably just leave me in the end.
He seemed to sense my despair, he brushed his hand through my black hair and kissed me on the neck before he whispered in my ear.
"I promise that if I go back we will meet again."
I couldn't help but feel he just said that to make things seem better. Neither of us knew if he would even be able to come back again.
Regardless of what the future held I thoroughly enjoyed this moment with him. No one had ever made me feel that good inside. I wished I could stay in his arms all night.
Then unfortunately someone decided to knock at my door. I untangled myself from him reluctantly, then got up and opened the door.
"Reana?" I said rather surprised that she was back.
"Hi, I forgot my purse. Don't mind me I'll just find it and leave you two alone again. You seem to be having fun."
I gave her an evil eye but let her in. She grabbed her purse from off a side table. Chichiri was still sitting where I had left him, obviously in deep thought, but with his mask on again.
Before she left I took the opportunity to chat with her a little. I walked out the door with her and shut it lightly.
"Where's Tasuki by the way?" I asked out of pure curiosity.
"He's at my place."
"You left him alone!?!"
"Ya but I have his Tessen thingy with me."
"I guess that can't be too bad then," I said but she could tell my mind was wondering.
"So what exactly were you two doing?" she accused with a mild amusement.
"None of your damn business," I responded playfully.
She gave me a funny look and I knew what she meant by that.
"Uhh no we weren't doing THAT," I began, "but I seem to have gotten very attached to him."
"But you've only known him for two days. And most of that time he was unconscious."
"I know, I know. But I can't help who I fall for."
"Useless. Just be careful ok," Reana said out of caring.
"Don't worry bout me. You know what I've been through you know what I can put up with."
"I know but still. Either way I should be going I left an insane pyro in my house."
"True, oh and are you two getting along."
"Yes very well actually. We fight non-stop but it's hilarious."
"Uh, that's good, I think. Well goodnight," I said as she started to walk to the elevator.
"G'night!" she yelled back.
I watched her till she was out of sight then walked back into my apartment locking the door behind me. Chichiri had taken off his mask again as soon as he noticed only I was there.
"Oh Chichiri I forgot, I'll show you where the stuff is to brush your teeth. You do know how to brush your teeth right?"
"I believe so unless your method is different."
"Shouldn't be too different," I said as I gestured for him to follow me into the washroom.
I handed him his green toothbrush and the tube of toothpaste in front of me. I opened the tube while he was holding it and guided his hands with mine. At least he knew how, the only thing that really confused him was the tube.
I put one hand around his waste and watched his every move. I wanted to memorize his every feature so I would never forget him.
Once he was done we walked into the living room together and I still had my arm around him. He didn't protest.
I looked detached myself to look for the remote and turned on the TV. This time I decided to watch Mad TV. Perverse but funny.
Instead of talking my place on the lazy-boy I grabbed my blanked, a fuzzy one with a tiger on it, and walked up to him again.
"Well seeing as how you may not stay here forever I was thinking that maybe I could... umm, could I sleep with you on the couch. I promise I won't bite and I'll restrain myself from doing anything dirty."
He starred at me as I said that but made room on the couch for me.
"You may not bite Lenore but what if I do, no da."
I laughed at that but hopped in anyway. I made sure we were both covered with my blanket then wrapped my arms around his neck. I was surprised there was enough room for both of us to lie comfortably on the couch mind you there wasn't exactly anything separating us save for our pajamas, not that I minded.
He rested his arms around my waist, and he watched the magic box. I was facing him so I couldn't but listening gave me a good enough idea of what was happening so I didn't care.
"Goodnight Chichiri."
"Goodnight Lenore," he responded sweetly.
That was a night I would not forget.
*** Well dassit for now. Insert here what I would normally say at the end 'tell me what you think' etc... lol. Hopefully you all don't mind the fact that I'm updating so frequently. I know at least some of you like it!***
