After Rosa gave me the tell all on Master's life and with a warning attached, I couldn't help but feel intrigued to learn more about him.
Though one might normally fleet from hearing such news, I felt like I could relate in some ways to Edward's past.
I felt the urge to pat Master on the shoulder and let him know he was not alone in growing up in a fucked up environment. I too had my share of a cold upbringing, as well as never knowing love.
I wanted to open up to Master, let him into my world and what made me the way I was. I wanted to bond and hear his inner secrets and thoughts. I just didn't know how to go about it.
I headed up the stairs and stopped as I reached the top step. I was eye to eye with Master's bedroom. The doors were closed and most of the lights in the house were off. Something told me I was better off going to bed and letting it go. That Master might get upset if I wake him up.
I moved my eyes across the hall where the guest room was; I fidget with my hands as my feet moved forward. I was inches from Edward's door.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, before reaching my hand out and turning the knob. The door creaked open and I was met with darkness.
I crept in the room, hoping not to bump into anything as well as disturb Master. I was close to the bed, I could feel it. It was so hard to see in the dark. I strained to make out anything.
I scrunched my eyes as I looked for Edward's form but I couldn't find him at all, just a comforter and pillows.
Where is he?
Suddenly I heard a noise from behind me. I stiffen in my spot as I listened. It sounded like, sniffing, almost like…almost like crying.
I slowly turned around to see Master, sitting in his chair with a drink in one hand and the other over his face, as sniffles came out. He was sad.
I inched over his way, trying carefully not to make noise. I was close to him, just a couple more steps and I could touch him, comfort him.
I was about to reach out for him when he looked up into the darkness. I froze as his glossy eyes met mine. His expression went from shock to anger in a matter of seconds.
"What are you doing here? I thought I told you, you weren't allowed in my room!" Edward said, his eyes were as cold as ice.
"I, I just wanted to see if you were okay. I heard you, um… sniffling. You looked sad. I thought you might have wanting someone to talk to." I explained, taking a few careful steps back.
Edward let out a harsh laugh and placed his drink hard on the table, making me cringe. I was surprise he didn't break it by the force.
"What are you, my mother? If I wanted to fucking talk, I would fucking talk. If I wanted some fucking comfort, I would have had you on your fucking knees sucking my cock." He grumbled.
I shivered at his tone. I never saw him so cold before. He was reminding me of someone I never wanted to remember again. I didn't want to shut my eyes for fear I would see HIS face. It had been so long since I left him. I almost forgot about him, or almost fooled myself into forgetting him anyways.
"I can take a hint. I'll go tomorrow. I won't bother you again." I said on the verge of tears myself, not sure if it had to do with the memory of HIM or if it had to do with my feelings towards Edward.
I turned to leave Edward's room, heading for the door when his voice stopped me.
"Wait!" He shouted out.
I froze in my spot, he sounded…he almost sounded alarmed by my statement.
Before I had time to even think, much less move, Edward's hard chest was pushed up against my back, making it hard for me to concentrate on anything other than my desire for him.
"If I wanted you to fucking leave, I would have told you to fucking leave." He breathed harshly into my ear.
My body tingled as his warm breath touched my skin.
I desperately wanted to turn around and pull him closer to me, but I worried I would cross the line with him. I didn't want to upset him anymore than I already had.
I just stood there facing the door of his room, with his chest against my back and his breath against my neck.
"Ok, then I'll stay." I said carefully.
Edward sighed against my ear, as if he was pleased by the news, though he never verbally said so.
"I just wanted you to know, I know what it's like to grow up in a fucked up environment Edward. I have been there myself."
Edward stopped breathing for a moment; I could feel his form tense behind me. He remained silent.
I could see it would take a lot more than I thought to open Edward up.
I let out a sad sigh before moving past Master's door and down the hall to my room.
