" Thank you " she replied with a hoarse voice. He held her by the hips making eye contact " tell me about your life on earth " his voice barely a whisper.
Why was he suddenly interested in her past life to ask her that. Was he trying to be interesting, or he wanted to engage her in a conversation.
" It's a long story, isn't it too late for that". She hadn't told anyone about her life on earth because she wasn't willing but he, he was asking her.
" I'm listening" he wasn't giving her any excuses. She was straddling him, they were both making eye contact, the place was calm it was perfect for having a chat.
She sighed and started talking. " My earthly name is Lily ".
" I like that. Should I call you Lily?" He offered and she only looked at him and nodded negatively. Okay he nodded back.
" I'm not exactly friendly like I am here, I was Soo self reserved and didn't like trouble ".
" Doesn't sound like Zillah " he added with a laugh and she laughed back " yeah it doesn't ".
She continued " I was murdered…" he gasped a bit
" You were murdered?" Shocked to his bones. He had thought she died because it was her time and found her way here but no, she was killed!.
" By the person who murdered my parents. I'm pretty sure it was business gone wrong. They wanted to eliminate my parents from the list of competitors and they succeeded".
" My dad had life planned out for me. I wasn't really like by anybody, they all thought I'm just a spoiled rich brat that would trample on them because I can".
" If I asked for help or requested anything, they see themselves as servants at my feet. I didn't like that. I was just Soo weak and gullible. I don't remember speaking. I barely said words, maybe answers to questions in class if I was asked".
Alvah rubbed her thighs gently to soothe her. " I had a friend her name was Ruby, I can't really call her a friend. She didn't like me at all. She was jealous, she hated me. But her mom, he mom loved me Soo much. She would take care of me, never let me feel the absence of my late mother although I did".
Her voice cracked a bit and she wiped her tears. " Her name was Steph, her husband Robert, he didn't like me either ". She looked at Alvah with her lips pressed together. His eyes were glued on her, watching her every move.
" Earth was Soo much cruel to me, no one needed me there. I became among the dead. I was dead Alvah, cold blood".
His eyes darkened and reddened, they had become bloody.
" The heartlessness in his face when he came to Roberts home. I tried to leave because I knew… I knew in his eyes, he was the one. Then he pulled the trigger ".
Alvah couldn't take the rage in his heart any longer. " If you had the chance to go back to earth, what would you do?"
She paused for a while. " I don't want to go back to earth". She laid on his chest, took off the first and second button and kissed his bare chest. " If.. I never left earth, I would have never met you" she lifted her face to look up at him.
There was glimmer in her eyes for once. He rubbed her thighs to soothe her feelings. She held his face, she looked into his darkened blood eyes and laughed.
"These dark eyes, do they really thirst for my blood ". She had an immense contact with him before he spoke " If my eyes were evil I wouldn't be inside of Elysian by now would I ?"
She was taken aback . That was true, if his blood eyes bore in disguise an Infernal energy he would've been out of Elysian but he was still here. How was that? Zillah thought seriously with a creased brow.
Alvah moved his hands from her thighs to her face and cupped it. She felt like a chick to its mother. Before he could take any further action she got up from his legs.
She did it again, he immediately blurted to himself. She got off the bed to leave. He teleported right in front of her, " where are you going?" He asked sounding fierce.
She heard his tone but that didn't bother her. " A night snack like Cristal would have" she grinned and left the room. He followed after her. When she got to the storehouse where she could get varieties, which she did.
She moved to the dining room and began eating it. Alvah only watched her solemnly quiet action. Was something wrong with her, he asked himself watching her carefully.
He took a seat beside her, looking straight at her. " Care to share ?" He asked kindly but she nodded " no" . He frowned slightly with no offense taken.
He smiled halfway relaxing a bit on the chair. She didn't show any signs of sharing the snacks with him neither conversing with him.
He figured if the night was going to be this way, he would rather take an early nap. He got up from the chair headed to the room.
Zillah came in afterwards and saw him in the same position he was before but he looked troubled.
She got on the bed, straddling him again even closer this time. " You look worried, what's bothering you?" She asked him moving her fingers through his hair and he could only shut his eyes.
' maybe if I told her it would make things easier and I would get my reasons' he reasoned with himself. " Why… do you distance yourself a lot from me whenever we get close?" He felt his gut released as he finally said it getting rid of the lump in his throat.
She looked at him gravely. She knew exactly what he meant by that. " why?, do you like it when we are close, just like this". She gave him a cute smile.
He couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not but she looked serious.
" Or like this" she moved her face closer to his, they shared the same breathe space with her heart thudding loudly in her chest despite the bold actions she was taking.
