Under the Falling Moon by Bonez
Chapter 12
Johnny sat on his living room floor cleaning his smiley-face knives, wiping the old blood off of them with a dirty rag thinking about the recent events of the day. With every stroke, he thought of how he was going to torture this "Jak" fellow. An ominous smile crept on his face and as he wiped the last crimson blood stain off, he heard his doorbell ring. That high-pitched squeel of the homeless man he wired up filled the house, and Johnny slowly got up and walked to the door.
Opening the door, he already knew that he'd see the smiling face of Illana on the porch, and there she was. Her straight black hair looked damp and shiny, and in her white thin-straped t-shirt and baggy camo pants she smelled of lavender. Her big blue eyes stared up, begging to be looked back at by him, and they got their wish as she smiled sweetly.
He cocked his head to the side, gripping the knives tightly in his hands. "Lani?...What are you doing here?" he asked. Her gaze directed to those knives for a moment, she looked back up at him. "I just..........wanted to see you again." Forcing himself to place the knives on the nearest table, he took a deep breath making sure Rev. Meat wasn't around. "Isn't your dearest 'fiancee' going to be mad?" he sneered.
Shrugging her shoulders, she quickly ran up to him. "Exactly," she whispered in his ear as she leaned in to kiss him again. In a mad rush of passion and longing, she wrapped her arms around his neck and smoothed his rough lips with hers and before he could even think, he found himself parting them with his slithery tongue. It all happened so fast that as soon as he tasted her saliva, that's when his mind "clicked." His eyes shot open and all in one fast moment he shoved her off him with such force that she hit the ground.
Confused, his first instinct was to grab his knife. Going for it, he realized it wasn't there---but instead on the table where he put it. Sighing, he just sunk down on the carpet with her and looked at his hands.
".....I'm sorry....." Illana said in a small whimper. Moving a small strand of hair from her face, she looked over at Johnny. He looked so dark and alone, like he was in deep thought about the saddest thing in the world. His almond eyes stared back at her, and she wondered what secrets they were hiding-----what those eyes have seen. She wondered what could have happened to this man to make him absolutely loathe the touch of human flesh. She wanted to kiss away all his pain, and make him love her.
"......Hope I didn't 'hurt' you," he said, with a small accent on 'hurt.' She shook her head, and then after passing a glance they busted out laughing on the floor. That was the first time he laughed like that since he could remember. Usually the only time he laughed was at someone's impending doom and at the finale when the jaws of death crushed the life out of their screaming corpse......but this was different, this time he was happy.
"Why did you come here?" he asked as they both layed down on his stained carpet. "I 'could' say to be a 'friendly' neighbor....." she said sarcastically, as they shared another heartful laugh. "But, that's far from the truth," she finished after the laughter decreased.
Cracking a smile, he pulled his knees up to his chin and stared at her. "What's truth anyway? All we have is what we know and what we don't know." "Well then, what I do know is that ever since I drove you home from that 24/7, I can't get my mind off of you. Nny......when I think of you, I smile."
He couldn't believe what he was hearing, and in return, what he was thinking. He didn't want to be loved. He did want to "fall" in love. Infact, he didn't want ANYTHING. He wanted NOTHING. But here he was, Johnny C., laying on his floor with a woman and actually caring about her. He didn't even get this far with Devi, yet with her there wasn't such "force" around them like with Illana. And he smiled.
