He Heals My Broken Heart

Let Lips Do What Hands Do

CHAPTER II

"Good night Fiona. My maids will show you the way to your room. If there's anything you need just call me."

"Thank you. It's so kind of you to help me all the way here."

"You'll know someday. Now go to your room, and fix yourself first." 

I was caught by his words as if he knows me all this time. I wasn't able to respond to his statement. Immediately the maids accompany me to my room. But still, my mind keeps wandering about what he said a while ago. Maybe it is something important, but for now, I focus my mind on how I can help him to find my mother. That is something that I must do first, I can't let these things distract me from what matters to me right now. As I arrived in my room, the maids kindly showed me the clothes that were brought for me, they said that as a guest I don't need to feel anxious or uncomfortable about it. It is an order from their master after all. I didn't have the chance to say this, but actually, his house is much big than I expected, I guess he is rich after all. I wonder where his parent is. Though his house is huge It felt so lonely as silence enveloped the whole place. I began to wash and get ready before I sleep. 

"I think it's already time to sleep. It's been a tiring day after all. Unexpected things happened this day and I just want to rest for now." 

It's 12 o'clock already and I can't bear to fall asleep. Still, the circumstances that I went through drive my mind to go crazy. I have a lot of questions within me seeking an answer, or anything for me to be able to understand somehow. Suddenly I felt the hunger, I just remember that I am not still eating something for my supper. I wonder where's the kitchen here. I walked downstairs and I saw light coming from one of the rooms. I walked to it expecting that there's a maid or a butler who can help me find something to eat. Suddenly I saw Cody in the kitchen, seem to find something to eat also. I caught myself with his gaze, I was shocked and I can't make even the slightest movement. Once I got to control my body again. I tried to run away back to my room. But he was able to grab my arms, he used his strength to push me against the wall, He brought his face close to mine, so I got the chance to look closer at his blue eyes. Time stood still for both of us. Until he speaks. 

"Why, can't sleep?"

"I'm sorry Cody. I didn't mean to interrupt you?"

"Don't think too much. It's only you and me right now Fiona. It is dark and quiet, isn't it? Don't worry I ordered the maids to get out as soon as possible. So we will not be interrupted."

I nodded but I feel ashamed wandering in the middle of the night.

"I was planning to go to your room. But I didn't know you want me to do it in here with you."

"You got the wrong Idea. I'm just looking for something to eat. That's all."

"You better work more with your alibi, I need to punish you for refusing me. Tell me what's your desire?"

"Nothing. . . Nothing at all. Maybe a piece of bread so I can go back to my room already."

"Don't even lie to me. To think that I'll let you go that easily."

"Sorry I didn't mean to. Please don't get mad."

"Of course not. Why would I? You savor me from my hunger, now go back to your room. "

He let go of my hand and escort me to my room after that. But all of a sudden I realize. . . 

"I didn't have my pillow."

"You're telling me, you need your pillow for you to sleep?"

"You can say it that way I guess."

"Then I'll be your pillow just for now. Besides we have to continue what we left off in the car remember?"

"You don't have to do that. Besides I'm pretty sure I can get used to it after all. I should get going now to rest, and you too."

"That's an order. You owe me a lot, so I guess being obedient won't be so hard for you to do right?"

I don't know if he's just acting or what. But anyway he's really hard to understand sometimes he speaks too deep for me to understand. When we're about to get inside he asks me something. 

"Fiona, I want to ask you something."

"What is it, Cody?"

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

Out of the blue, I felt my heart pound fast. I don't know how to respond to his question. 

"Why did you asked me something like that?"

"It's sp obvious, can't you tell? Because I want to."

"I don't know." 

"Is that so."

I took a glance at his face, his eyes were replaced by great sadness. He didn't reply too much, I feel sorry for him. I like him, that is something I cannot deny, but I'm not sure if this is the right time to have this. He grabbed my hand and put me on the bed, then he came close to me. The bed feels comfortable for both of us, but I can't able to fall asleep because he's staring at me with those big blue eyes. I feel cold with those eyes as he comes closer to me and hugs me tightly. I feel safe around his arms. What does it feel like to be his girlfriend after all? 

"Fiona you don't know how happy I am right now."

"Yes, my answer is yes."

"About what?"

"Being your girlfriend."

"How about a goodnight kiss. To make it official."

"Is that even necessary?"

"I can't sleep peacefully without it. Just once will do the trick, but make it long. Let lips do what hands do."

"Just once!"

"For tonight that is. I don't know what I might do tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that."

His face came closer to me, and suddenly he commands me to close my eyes, and just feel the sensation that he gives to me. His lip met mine, as he wanders within me. I grabbed his arms and hold them as tight as possible. His body feels warm I think I already fell in love with him I wonder what will happen next. Mom I hope you're safe wherever you are. I miss you already. After a couple of minutes, we already fell asleep.
