I scoff. Every single nerve is my body is begging me to attack this woman but my head is telling me something different. It’s telling me to wait, it’s telling me she’s not worth it and a woman I love is in the kitchen right now and she can walk out any second at the sound of anything that seems violent and get scared of anything unsightly and I don’t want that.
My fists clench in my pockets. This has to be one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Especially when ‘Carol’ is standing right in front of me.
“You know, Asami, I’m a killer.” I lean my head closer to hers. “We both know I know so many ways on how to kill a person and rid of their bodies in such a way no cop or anyone else alive will ever find nor realise it’s human flesh.” Asami’s nose flares up. I notice her eyes widen slowly. “And you know me well enough to know that I can rip your skin to pieces with my teeth without a single care in the world.” I let my lips rest beside her ears and lower my tone to a whisper. “The only thing keeping you from that fate is the woman in the kitchen. So you better be grateful to her.” My gaze lowers to sight her neck. Her body hair is standing. Good. My message is being passed across well enough. “So enjoy your movie then get the shit out of here.” I finally adjust and stand up straight. “Carol.”
My hands has been dug in my pocket all through the time I associated with her. Playing with my father’s zippo is the one thing keeping me sane.
“Okay, so I’m not sure what would’ve sufficed and fit the vibe of the movie, so I got cake. . .” The feminine voice coming from behind brings both our attention in the direction of the kitchen. Standing right outside the door is Hazel with a tray full of full, glass snack bowls. I take a step back from Asami. Hazel’s eyelids flickers and she looks at the tray before returning her gaze back to us. “Um, want to join us to watch a movie?” She asks. Her voice is low and soft.
I give a side glance to Asami, I notice as her body stiffens as she jerks a little, then I look back at Hazel. “No. You two have fun. I’ll be in my room.” I wink.
Hazel nods. I can see the gratitude in her eyes from across the room. This makes me snicker. That girl never wanted me to accept her invite in the first place. Cute.
“Enjoy your stay here, Carol.” I say to her then flash Hazel a grin. I notice the change in colour of her cheeks while I did that. We’ve been together for months yet that still gets to me. It never gets old. I head upstairs.
I hear footsteps followed by chatter. The smile on my face is gone. I’ll be keeping a close eye on those two. Although I’m sure Asami won’t do anything stupid, I’d have to be Hazel’s certified guard all through the day. I wade my fingers through my hair and sigh.
I need a drink to help myself settle down. I can feel myself get very restless. I’m itching to have blood stain my hands and I fear it’s going to be a lot sooner than I anticipate. Which may be a good thing. Or not.
My intention was never to kill anyone while being here, it was merely to find someone. I got distracted in the process and didn’t find that person I had in mind but I’ve found the human I’ve been searching for for a very long time and that fills the hole I’ve carried in my heart since then. I’m trying so hard to save all my energy and rage for the killer of my parents but God knows I want to fly over there right now and do every single thing to that person to blow off the steam that was bottled up in me for decades. But I can’t.
I have to be patient.
I lift my hand out of my pocket and hold out a key. The key enters the keyhole seamlessly and a soft click is heard as I unlock the door. I take the key out and return it back into my pocket then rest my hand on my door knob. I take a deep breath, staying still like my life is on a stand still.
Being patient is undeniably unpleasant in this scenario, I open the door, but I’m not leaving here without my kitten so I have no choice. I swallow and waltz into my room. The change in the cologne in the air fills my nose and causes me to smile. It reeks of Hazel and I love it.
This girl has ruined all my taste buds in every department and I’m not even complaining.
