Before I knew it, we had spent 30 whole minutes laughing and talking about
absolutely nothing. This was a skill I had picked up rather quickly from
Leah. Small Talk, I guess you could call it. I was never good at it
anyways, so I guess that's why I always kept things quick and to the point.
Before, there was never a need to ask anything and everything. But hearing
everything from Leah made me feel somewhat comforted.
"So, big guy," she said, "don't you ever get cold?"
I shrugged. I didn't know really how to answer, but I said "Sometimes."
"I get it, you're trying to be tough!"
She laughed and moved a little closer to me, and for once, I felt myself smiling. I looked into her eyes and saw something I've never seen before.. in anybody. As she leaned her head on my chest and gently pressed her body against mine, a strange warmth ran rampant through my body. No longer was I thinking of the people passing by or how long I would have to stand here, or even why I was changing.. This was feeling unfamiliar and lost somwhere deep in my past. I had never felt a rush like this, only after fighting. She sighed quietly and I wrapped my arms around her.
Everything was perfect.
The next thing I knew, Sion poked his head outside the door and grinned at me, and for once I knew what it was like to get caught up in a moment. I saw Sion and Dominique sitting together sometimes, and it was like nothing in the world bothered them, as if. they were the only ones there. Leah was still warm against me, and I never wanted to let her go. She straightened up and slid an arm around my waist as we entered the bar together.
Yeah, we were definitely getting closer.
It seemed like all night passed by and I realized I didn't know anything about her still. I had known her three full days and I knew she was 22, her name was Leah Fuller, and she disappeared each night to the west and isn't seen again until the most inopportune time of the next night.
She had a very mysterious way of living.
And ya know what?
I loved every bit of it.
