06. The Kiss.

SAMAEL.

I couldn't get any sleep, the fact that I misplaced my mother's necklace really bothered me. What was worse was that I might not find it, and some undeserving mortal might.

She already told me not to bother myself, that it didn't posses any special powers but dad gave it to her and she always treasured it.

Glancing at the alarm clock, I saw that it was after three, I wonder what that Chris guy is always up to. Just yesterday, he came back home around four thirty in the morning. The day before, it was almost six.

I could have just stayed with my mom at her mom's but I would never have any privacy, and Demeter was always trying to match make me with one of her workers, Zoe, who just happened to a demi god.

Zoe was the daughter of Zeus and she had lost her mother when she was very little, so Demeter offered to take care of her.

Around four thirty, Chris came home with the short girl he was always with, Bianca. She seemed drunk because she was acting out. "Get up, I want B to stay on the bed." I stared at him but didn't say anything. Why should I have to get up?, Can't he just place her on the other side?. I folded my arms and watched him as he struggled with the small woman who refused to be calm.

"Sam, up!."

"Why?, This bed is big enough for both of us."

"I won't let you stay on the same bed with her."

"Why not?"

"Yeah, why not?" Bianca asked, tugging at my shirt.

"I won't bother her, I'm a very gentle sleeper." He stared at me as if he wanted to burn a whole into me. I straightened up and and he had to look up slightly to stare into my eyes.

"Fine, but if you touch her-"

"Why would I do that?"

He gently placed her on the bed and she was quiet, apparently she had fallen asleep. He gave me one last look before he went to the couch.

I couldn't sleep so I just sat on the bed, waiting for the sun to rise so I could resume my search. 

I glanced at Bianca who was lying right next to me. She was curled up, hugging her knees to her chest, probably because she was cold. I covered her gently with the blanket and she made a little sound.

It was difficult to get a clear view of her face because the room was completely dark but she seemed beautiful. She wasn't your regular tall, slender model-like lady, she was the complete opposite but she was still attractive.

I could remember the first time we met, the way she stared up at me, freckles on her round face and with her bright blue eyes that were slightly big, almost like an anime character. 

The way she occasionally licked her plum red lips when she talking or eating was also really cute, and the way she bounced whenever she was walking, unlike other girls that cat walked. 

Everything about her was extremely adorable, and I loved it. Whenever she said anything about liking me, I always tried hard not to show any emotions because it was impossible for us to be together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I decided to call it quits after hours of searching with no luck. When I got back to Chris's, Bianca was the only one there. "Hi, where'd you go so early?"

"Out."I answered as I took off my jacket.

"That's not really a place."

"Where I went doesn't really concern you."

"Why are you being mean to me?, Have I done anything wrong to you?" She narrowed her gaze at me and I found that I couldn't make eye contact. "I like you, why don't you like me?"

It always caught me off guard whenever she said it like that. "I'm not here to like anyone, I'll be leaving soon and I don't intend on making any friend till I do."I answered without looking at her.

"The fact that you're staying for a while doesn't mean you can't have friends."

"Don't you have somewhere you need to be?" 

"Nope. I'm a jobless woman, so I'm completely free." She smiled, showing a perfect set of teeth and I almost smiled too.

I turned my back against her in an attempt to ignore her. "We're going to the beach tomorrow." I almost jumped when I heard her voice. She was standing close, so close that I could feel her breath on my arm. "Will you come with us?"

Having her so close to me sent illicit thoughts to my head. I turned to face her and regretted it immediately. She stood right in front of me, she lifted her face so our lips were merely inches apart.

She stared at me, wide eyed, waiting for my answer and I groaned inwardly. The desire to touch her was suddenly so strong that I had to knot my fists at my sides just to stop me from reaching for her.

"I...I don't mind." I offered after a few timeless moment and was genuinely surprised by how difficult it was to speak coherently.

"Yay." She clapped and turned to leave and I couldn't stop watching her as she walked. She opened the door, and hesitated for a second. She turned to face me."You have to come." I nodded and she smiled before exiting the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't enjoy our trip to the beach because of three things. The sun, the sand, and the people. I guess living in the darkness of the underworld for a hundred and thirty years could do that to you. Bianca and her friend hardly stayed on land, Jumping in the water every second. 

I was the first to leave because the environment wasn't conducive for me anymore but before I left, Bianca gave me a phone. "I wanna be able to reach you wherever you are." She said as she handed me the device and I just smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat alone in Chris's room. Bored. He had gone to work and there wasn't much to do. I didn't go to Demeter's place because mom had told me they would be visiting my sister, Amara and her husband and I didn't really like him.

"Knock knock." Bianca said as she walked in. She was dressed up like she had a special occasion to attend.

"Chris isn't here." I tried not to look at her but it was impossible. She was breathtakingly beautiful. She was in all black, my favorite color. Her short hair was decorated with different types of beautiful hairpins and her make up made her look smoking hot.

"I know. He said to wait for him." She sat on the couch and paid no attention to me, I tried to do the same but every once in a while, I'd glance in her direction. "So, where are you from?"

"Hmm?, Uh... Florida."

"Oh that's cool. I've never actually been to Florida." She got up and came to sit by my side. "What's it like?"

"What it's like?, Uh....it's, you know. It's okay." She nudged me with her shoulder and giggled

. I closed my eyes and breathed in her womanly scent. It was probably my imagination but I could have sworn that the oxygen supply in the room had decreased.

My heart pounded so loud that I feared she would heart it. I shut my eyes, trying to steady my breathing when I felt her lips on mine. I panicked, and when I opened my eyes, I was on the couch.

I looked at Bianca on the bed and she stared at me, her mouth opened in shock and she looked scared.

Oh no.
