MidNight Chapter 2

"So where are we going?" He asked, excitedly staring out the window. "My hideout." "Oh okay, where is that?" "It's nowhere, and no one is to know about it understand?" "Oh okay, but why?" "Because." "because why?" " oh my god! You just don't stop with the questions!?... Because I said so! That's why!" " oh okay, I'm sorry. I'm just a little curious." "Well in this case curiosity killed the boy, and the cat walked away without a scratch." He swallowed and sat silent for the rest of the ride. Finally they reached the end of a long twisting dirt road. And in front of them sat a small cottage. This cottage had beautiful vines of purple and white flowers, all neatly draped atop the roof. It had a cobblestone walkway and weeping willow trees all around it. "This place is amazing.. " he said gazing up into the trees. "I used to come here as a child with my mother. But now there's nothing here but memories." MidNight looked at the sky, it was a few minutes before dusk. "Come." She said looking at the boy. "Let's go inside, I want you to see something." He followed her inside. "You can have a seat on the couch." She said. "Do you want anything? Tea? Coffee?" "Um,sure tea is fine thank you." A couple of minutes pass and Night came out holding two coups of tea. One in each hand. She sat on the couch next to him. "This is my favorite memory, sitting next to my mother here drinking tea with a blanket around us. Every night we could come here to watch the fairies, I - I mean fire flies dance. It's like a show, the sun is going down and they begin to dance but only for a few minutes. And when the sun was gone so were they." "Well this place looks like something from an enchanted forest movie." MidNight looked down at the small cup of tea in her hands. She ran her finger along the rim of the cup. "Well, we have a lot of traveling to do tomorrow. We both need some rest." She said as she stretches her legs out and faked a yawn.

"I need to push my feelings aside. This is not going to be a some fairy tale love story."

"I'll go get your room ready, you can leave your cup in the sink... And I never really asked your name...?" " Benjamin Blake Bacio, but you can call me Ben." "Well Benjamin is my favorite name, it's very nice to have sort of kidnapped you." She smiled shyly as she held out her hand. He grabbed her hand and gently squeezed it and smiled a wide grin. Night stood there a few seconds after he had let go. " um...what was I doing again?" "My room." "Right! I should go."

Ben's POV

Her hands were smooth and warm. When our fingers met it was like electric, the sensation caused my hand to tense. I knew she felt it to from the awkward few second pause after I let go. It seemed as if she longed for my touch but she was holding back, from what I don't know. After I placed my cup in the sink, I went back out into the living room and made my way around to the fireplace. I carefully examined the pictures on the shelves.

MidNight's POV

I went into my old room, and straightened the sheets on the bed. I grabbed and fluffed the pillows. Then I took my favorite perfume and sprayed it a few times in the room, spinning in a circle as I did it. 'I hope he likes it, what if it's to girly for him. Wait... Why do I care what he thinks? If he liked it or not he has to deal with it, I saved his stupid life after all.' When I went to go find him, he was standing in the living room examining the pictures of my family. It's been eight years since I have seen them, well, seen them alive at least. And to know it was my fault that there dead... I can't look at those pictures. I walked over to him standing behind him, I slightly tapped his shoulder. He turned and looked at me and momentarily I was lost in his mesmerizing blue and green eyes. "Your room is ready." I said being sure to look at the ground and not dare look at those pictures in fear that I will collapse and have a breakdown. "Oh, that's great. Can you show me where it is?" Hearing his voice sent shivers up and down my spine. "This way." I managed to say and I turned and walked away from him. Seconds later I heard and felt him begin to walk behind me. My heart was racing the entire time walking down the hallway. Finally we reached 'his' room. I stood next to the door and watched him as he walked into the room and looked around. "Thank you." He said is he walked up to me, he lifted his arms above his head to rest his finger tips on the door frame and leaned his body forward causing him to get extremely close to me. I felt my cheeks turn bright red. "Y- your welcome." I said. My eyes kept going form his lips to his eyes, then back to his lips again, and back. Never in my life have I ever wanted to kiss someone so badly, well really I have never been in love before. Is that what this is? Love?

'No, night your crazy this isn't love... Is it?' I shook my head a little and walked away into my room. I got undressed and put on my baggy sweatpants and a blue tank top. When I got in bed I couldn't stop thinking about how it would feel with his arms around my waist pulling me into him and feeling his light breathing on the back of my neck sending chills down my spine with every exhale.... 'What the hell is wrong with me?! Shut up and go to sleep night!' I scolded myself in my head. I closed my eyes and gave in to slumber.

Ben's POV

I took off my shirt followed by my black jeans. I was only in my boxers now. I got into bed and just listened a few minutes, thinking, thinking about her, how adorable and sexy she is. How I wanted to wrap her up in my arms and fall asleep to her scent. I wondered if she wanted to kiss me as much as I wanted to kiss her.

MidNight's POV

I woke up and looked at the clock, 2:49 it read. I looked at my shaking hands. Not only were my hands shaking but my entire body. I have an awful migraine and I'm drenched in sweat. I wiped the tears off my face and laid back down. I suffer from night terrors. That is absolute hell. 'Maybe if I think of something happy, I won't have another one' the first thing that came to mind was Ben, And instantly my heart rate slowed and I dozed off.
