Chapter 4

"Hello Samn, I am L"

. . .

I move out of the way as the man claiming to be L walks through; my eyes follow him all the way over to the chairs where he steps up and sits in a weird position.

He's gorgeous.

I shake my head and shut the door turning to go sit on a chair as well; my eyes lock onto L as he reaches forward for a lollipop. His hair is black, long and shaggy, barely giving him the ability to see. It looks messy at first but it seems to just fall that way. He's thin, very thin, but it seems healthy, almost as if his metabolism is just crazy high. His shirt is baggy and whit with long sleeves, as he reaches forward I can see the outline of his collar bones. His jeans are blue and baggy as well, I had noticed when he had stood on the chair before sitting that he was not wearing a bet that he needed, his (From what looks like elastic) boxers are slightly higher than his jeans. He sits back and our eyes meet, they're really dark, almost black but it seems like they have a hint of grey. Dead eyes…no, they're sharper than that. He also has bags below them but they are so much darker than mine, like he carries the weight of the world and he's beyond tired.

I sit across from him and cross my knees, leaning back I study the way he's sitting. It seems like he's balancing on his feet in a sitting fetal position. He has the lollipop in one hand. No, not hand. Index finger and thumb. His other hand rests on his knee. That doesn't look all that comfortable…especially for a man.

"There is much to discuss before we depart for Japan."

"What do you mean Japan?" I stare at him like he's crazy. And totally not because he's captivating…cause that would be crazy.

"It only makes sense to go there, that is where the murders are happening. I have already pinpointed the fact that whoever this Kira is, lives somewhere in Japan. In order to figure out what region I feel that it is necessary to go there myself. We will be departing at 5pm tomorrow from San Francisco and the plane will take us to Tokyo. From there we will check into our hotel and then on the 4th you and Watari will attend the ICPO meeting where I will announce to them that I have taken on the Kira case. Any questions?" L sets the stick of the previous lollipop down and picks up another one, quickly unwrapping it and putting it in my mouth. He does everything with only his index finger and thumb, almost as if he's afraid of germs.

"Um, no, I guess not. At least not right now." I look at the alarm clock glowing red on the dresser to the left of the bed, it's 10:00pm. A yawn escapes me and I lean further back into the couch changing one knee for another.

"It's getting late, I will let you rest and have Watari come get you in the morning for breakfast." L steps off the chair and takes a few lollipops, sticking them in his pockets. I stand as well and watch as he heads for the door. Apparently we're done talking…

"Goodnight then I guess." L makes it to the door but before he opens it he turns to me.

"Goodnight Samn."

L steps out of the room closing the door behind him. I feel warm and notice now that the whole time I had been nervous. I'm like a fucking high school girl….I shake the nervousness from my head and feel my heart to see how fast my pulse is. Gotta calm down or you're going to make a fool of yourself…

I turn and flop on the bed face first, careful not to land on anything. Uggghhh I'm a mess. I hope he didn't notice. I roll over and look at the clock 10:30…My comfy clothes are in a pile at the end of the bed, I groan as I stand to change. I unzip my skirt and it falls in a heap at my feet. I push down my tights and they bunch at my feet. I try to step out of them and nearly fall. What I have to deal with for this job. I slip on my lounge pants and after removing my button up I pull my tank over my head. I toss todays outfit in the suitcase and move the suitcase to the table.

Now comfy I go and flip the switch dousing my in darkness except for the bathroom light, my eyes adjust and I decide to leave that one on. I flip the covers up and slide into bed. They're cool but after a few minutes I create warmth with my body and the blanket retains it. I place my arm under my head and stare at the glowing stars.

Everything that has happened today feels like a dream. It was all so fast, one minute I'm getting home from another day at work, next thing I know I'm laying in a strange bed waiting to go to Japan with an old guy and a tall slouchy guy who claims to be the greatest detective in the world… This is crazy…I'm crazy for even agreeing to this, but it all happened so fast. What was I supposed to do? "No I don't talk to strangers, prove that you're L and I'll come with you." That would have gone over well…he probably has security protocols up the wazoo…actually…he does have security up the wazoo. The real question is how did he get my number, I've had it delisted from everything I can find. I hate being bothered and only use this flip phone piece of shit for work. And because of work I have no social life so all the contacts are just coworkers…I bet if he really is L then he would be able to get my number easy…it's in the data base. From here on out though…I should probably be more careful.

I yawn and roll over looking at the clock, 11:30. Time flys…I should really get to sleep. I yawn and close my eyes drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

So what did you think of my representation of L? It's not really enough to go on yet but there will be more. I've got a whole 'lotta ideas up in here. Leave a comment or go and check out some art I've done on my deviant art account, I've got a folder especially for this story.
