My Handsome Terrance

Julia turned aside to take a look..

(scream..!)

"Here...!", he said in a warm tone...

"Ah..?" Julia was petrified..

"Juice baby.. here.. hold it.."

"Oh..! yeah thank you...!", she tried to keep a grin but her face muscles seemed useless for the first time.

She was still in shock but his face was purely innocent. Not even a dust of darkness could reside in such a handsome face.

"Yes..!", Julia bawled suddenly realizing it was the same handsome man she saw in her dreams.. those mesmerizing blue eyes... She felt a million bell flowers blooming inside her just by looking at those eyes...

"And he is my boyfriend..?!" , her pulpils widened as she bawled out again not knowing it's not her mind voice.

Rostia entered the room, "Are you alright Juli..? ha.. ha.. ha.. Of course, I could understand your situation. No one would be in their right mind if they got such a boyfriend overnight. Is this the one who carried you home or Is he an add-on course..?", Rosita giggled.

There was no response from Julia. Rosita held Julia's hands, "I underestimated you my dear. You are my lord, my idol, my ideal type, and my everything from now on. Common Juli..! Teach me..! Teach your chicken headed friend some magic tricks..!"

As Rosita was speaking, Julia was out of her mind, her soul, lingering around somewhere in the vast universe.

Suddenly Julia lifted her hands to the air pointing out somewhere..

Rosita jerked Julia to bring her into consciousness. Julia was trembling..

"Oh..! You want your boyfriend.? He is long gone my stupid friend. He is preparing breakfast for you.. Aww.. how cute..!", Rosita melted.

"What the heck?", Julia thought to herself. After sometime, everyone left including Rosita, to pack up her makeup accessories from home and her parents left for grocery shopping thinking that she might want to spend some time alone with her so called boyfriend. Julia limped her way into the kitchen and found no one.

With a sigh of relief she turned around and there.., he was standing close enough to her so that she could feel his warm breath.

"Woah..! W..oa..hh..! W....oaaaaaaaahhhhhh..!" Thud..!

"Ouch", Julia embraced the floor with embarrassment. He helped her up and she suddenly grabbed his collars.

With anger and hatred she yelled at his face, "Who the heck are you ? I don't have a fucking boyfriend..! Whose leg are you trying to pull..? What kind of crap is happening here?"

There was no answer. She placed herself on the nearby chair and wiped her sweaty face with her bare hands.

"Are you deaf...? Or you acting like one..?"

After a minute, he replied, "Baby.. ", with his sparkling puppy eyes, "I don't know what happened to you but how can you forget me..? All those words from your mouth....Our sweet time.. And your love for me... was that all a lie..?", tears welled up his eyes.

At that moment .., Julia thought she really did go insane. She got her phone out and started dialing the nearest psychiatric hospital when suddenly her boyfriend snatched her phone to end up the call.

"OK.. fine.. I myself will get a face to face appointment later... So what's your name again..? Mr. Handsome-anonymous-a little tall-blue eyed-illusionary.... Oh ! wait..! wait!", she poked her finger into his stomach and it felt hard. "So real-but-an illusionary boyfriend..?", Julia laughed in confusion.

"My name is not that long and cringey. Did you really forget.. ? You used to love my name." Julia raised an eyebrow. "OK..! Ok..! I am Irwin Terrance and I work at the nearby university as a Paranormal science professor", he smiled with his eyes.

"Wow..! Great..! It would take years to become a professor in para...psychology... ", Julia's words slowed down in confusion.. "Parapsychology department..? Holy crap.!!!", she flinched. "So you are that new professor..? And you.. are.. my...boyfriend..?", Julia went pale like she gave up on her life. Irwin just nodded his head, patted Julia's head saying, "Take your own time baby.. heal soon..", and left for the kitchen.

"Wait.. Wait.. I have more questions to ask..", Julia exclaimed. "Sure..! I am always ready to answer you but the blueberry crepe-waffle won't wait for us!", he winked as he left.

After Mr. and Mrs. Hector and Rosita returned, everyone had their breakfast. Julia remained silent throughout the day, just responding to everyone's talk. She didn't talk much to Irwin or tried to bring up any of her messed-up life's story again.

Irwin left after dinner. That day just blurred out like any other normal day. Julia doesn't want to think about anything for now.. so she had her medicine and slept early beside Rosita.

Julia was fast asleep and it's midnight again. She felt someone moving beside her. She half-opened her eyes and saw that same black-attired man lying near her with bloody red eyes.

Julia freaked out, shouting Rosita's name but her lovely friend was sound asleep like she was drugged in some heavenly place. That black monster got up and stared at her, " Let's go for some digging worker girl.!"

"I am not your fucking worker girl..! and what digging? Did you see my ankle..? Don't you have any conscience..? AH..! Yes yes you don't.. And for your stern information , I can't move anywhere with that leg...!",Julia shouted.

"Is that a problem..?", he replied. The Black monster stared at her leg for sometime and she got cured like in some fantasy movies. "It'll be overrated even if we include this scene in some popular fantasy-fictions.! ughh !", Julia sighed as she got out of her bed.

"Black smoke again?.. huh.? And can I take my instruments with me?"

"No..!", he replied. Suddenly the clouds got dark and moody and there was thunder and lightning. He walked towards the window, staring at the clouds.

Admist that, Julia tried to wake Rosita up by shaking her ankles but there was no response. Rosita was actually awake but was pretending to be asleep to fish upon the situation.

The Black monster was still at the window. "So.. you don't really have a name or what.. black monster?", Julia questioned sarcastically.

"No. My master didn't give me one. Not yet. He calls me son."

Memories from that dark day came flashing in front of Julia and she started trembling.

Even after a whole lot of 5 minutes.., it was still storming outside.., and he kept staring outside and Julia just stared at him from the back wondering what kind of creature he might be.

[Thud..!]

Both the Black monster and Julia turned to look what it was and it was some dark fleshy thing dripping with blood dropped on the floor.

[Scream..!]

At the split of time.., he turned and walked towards Julia and hugged her suddenly....

[Flashhh.!!!!]

Rosita's eyes turned red...!
