Chapter Three
"Then I get,
A scary thought,
Means now that he's here,
Means he was never lost"
Rihanna, Russian Roulette
'Let's get physical,
Let me hear your body talk.'
Olivia Newton-John, Let's Get Physical
Mr. L. POV
I was angry, crazily so. She hit me because I kissed her. I should've seen it coming. She was still my fiery desert flower, beautiful and wild. It made me lust for her more. Was I in love with her too? I didn't know but I was addicted to her.
See, when she hid her face away and seemed scared, I remembered she was still a woman. She still had a sensitive side and I wanted to rock her to sleep. This is when I realised that I might be falling in love with her. After a day.
I lay her down on the bed and her sapphire eyes were round with iridescent fear. I was pinning her to the bed. "Just get it over." Daisy groaned. I put my mouth to her neck and I could feel surprise enter her system. "Wh… What are you doing?" I looked into her ocean eyes. "Devouring you my dear." I kissed her neck up and down and again.
She gave a moan and I smiled underneath the kissing. "Betcha Luigi never did this to you." I muttered. "Mmmm…" Daisy muttered. I was glad she didn't noticed what I'd said. She wasn't going to see who I really was yet.
I felt something touch a private place. "Uh, did you just touch my…. Um…" I stumbled. Well, this was embarrassing. "No!" She protested. I cocked Daisy an eyebrow. Daisy's pretty little face was bright red with outrage. "My hand slipped…" Now she was the nervous wreck.
"Right under my midsection?" I questioned her. "Ugh!" Daisy groaned and I gave a deep chuckle of satisfaction. "You know," I whispered, "if you want to go there, we can." She pushed me back. "I don't want to go there." She said it calmly as if I wasn't pinning her down.
"Am I making you uncomfortable?" I worried. She looked at me stunned. "Where is Mr. Nice Guy coming from?" I didn't know and then it turned midday.
Daisy POV
It was Luigi. I could tell. Behind the mask and the black clothing was Luigi and his eyes. "Luigi? What happened to you?" He looked confused. When he saw me he blushed. "Oh, Daisy, hey there." He looked at his legs. "Sorry for pinning you. Mr. L." He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Daisy, this is a long story so listen good." He took a breath. "Dimento made me into this person, a henchmen of his own. I almost killed Mario and Peach and Bowser but Bowser's not a big deal. Then I left. I couldn't face myself. I am Mr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Mr. L. is me still only…"
"Only what?" I asked. "He's my inner feelings, my dark feelings. Pain, hate, horror…" He glanced at me. "And lust. Mr. L., he's starting to fall in love." I looked into Luigi's eyes and I saw something warm and human. Something Mr. L. could never feel.
"Daisy, I now need to ask you a question." I looked into his eyes with a look that said he could tell me anything. "Did I do anything to you? When I was Mr. L., I mean." I stared out of the window. "You asked me to walk with you. And then, you said I was your desert flower. Your only light in your darkness." I sat up to sit next to Luigi. "And then you kissed me."
I looked into his eyes. They looked shy and embarrassed. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. But if Mr. L is your inner feelings…" Luigi's eyes met mine halfway and held my gaze. "Then I slapped you." Luigi rubbed his cheek. "Yeah, sorry about that. " I laughed nervously.
"But you know what? If you kissed me and not Mr. L, I wouldn't mind." I told him honestly. And then he went for it and he kissed me. His lips on mine. It was sweet but kind. He pulled back and asked, "Was that okay?" I smiled and he gave a shy one in return.
"I've missed you so much Luigi. I've never had a friend like you. I might be your desert flower but you're my shooting star." I held his hand. "You shoot across my sky every now and again but you're still there under everything." Luigi looked at me and I saw confidence enter his sweet face.
"And then you started kissing my neck and then I accidentally…uh…" I stumbled and I felt like Luigi, shy and embarrassed. "What?" He asked, kind and caring. "My hand slipped and I touched…"
"Oh." Luigi's response led to an awkward silence. "Then you said we could go there but I said no." Luigi tipped my chin to look at him. "I'm sorry. I wish that we could but…" Luigi looked at our hands. "If you're not ready then I can't. It would be betraying you and the truth. I swear that I will never hurt you."
"Meet me here at midnight. I'll be me again." And then the clock struck one.
"My dear!" Mr. L held me close and rocked me as I cried sweet tears. He had always been here but I'd never noticed. I loved him. I would fight to make him better but then again. Luigi was kind, sweet, funny but Mr. L was sexy, confident, protective and caring.
I'm torn and I never thought I'd love either.
