A soft melodic voice called out to me. Through my hazy vision I could make out a person in a hoody, crouching in front of me. She asked me if I was okay, soothing me with her voice.
As the fog in my eyes started to clear up I could see a pair of deep forest green eyes peering at me. Startled by the uncontrollable beating of my heart and the proximity of her face I found my self backing away against the wall, glowering at her.
Seemingly unbothered by my bloody state which fazed me she started to rummage through her back bringing out a stapler and some bandages.
"Like a brute that you were you used a stapler to seal my wound, ignoring my protests."
April's face blanched like she was listening to a horror story not believing that she played a part in it.
I chuckled. "You told me to suck it up and be a big boy."
The teasing smile that she displayed saying that was like a rope binding my heart. Every time she revealed her pearly white teeth that would meet her eyes that were glistening with mischievousness the rope would tighten, rendering me speechless.
I had to bite down on my jacket to hold back the painful grunts and moans as she did her job. All that time I peered down at the girl with many mixed emotions. Admiration at how she could do this, curiosity to why she could do this, fascination that I felt towards this creature and bloodthirst.
I hated and despised the effect that she had over my heart; over my mind. I didn't even know this girl's name and I could feel how she was already thawing this frozen heart of mine. If she would tell me to jump I would ask her: "How high?"
I had to get rid of her, fearing that she would be a weak link of mine. Making it more prone for my enemies to get to me.
"After bandaging me up you stood up and left, telling me to call the ambulance when I finally felt to do so."
"Oh, God." April cupped her cheeks, looking horrified. "I remember that." She whispered and soon her eyes flashed whit anger, which was sexy. "But in that case I freaking rescued you! Why would you want to kill your savior!?"
I blinked at her obtuse and gave her a smile.
"Don't smile!" She yelled.
"Anyway after that I killed the target, of course after torturing him for some days as revenge for stabbing me in the gut. I was able to dig up information about you and was soon following you and planning on how to murder you, but you started to do things that made me like you even more as I was following you and soon I realized that I was not capable of hurting you anymore." I sighed combing my hair back with my fingers.
"Just like that I have –"
"Wait." April interjected holding up her hand. "This may be the first time that I am glad that you are in love with me."
I smiled broadly. "Really?" Should I propose to her now?
"But that still doesn't explain why you chose me to be a black queen." She pressed, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
She can be really stubborn, this girl. "Your eyes." I answered globally.
My baby tilted her head cutely giving me a puzzled expression. "What's with my eyes?"
"Your eyes were devoid of any emotions at that time giving me enough reason to turn you in to a black chess piece, but your appearance that would even make a Norse Goddess jealous deserved to be a queen. Hench the black queen." I concluded. "I couldn't kill you immediately either because of your position. The higher the position the grander the murder have to be."
My baby let's out a groan covering her face as she rested her elbows on her tights.
"Why me?" She croaked.
My heart felt heavy as if the heaven fell down and crushed it. I know that she hates this, heck she hates me. I am not obtuse, but I have to do this before any other guy gets to her. I want her, need her. No women can sooth me with a single smile, to make me want her with a single touch. I can't imagine a life without her.
I stood up and walked towards her. feeling my presence she lets out another groan. "What?" She asked despondently.
"It's because you're my soulmate."
She scoffed and glanced upwards at me. "I didn't peg you for someone who believes in that shit." Her voice was laced in distaste by my answer. Dejection washed over me.
I crouched in front of her, cupping her cheek. "I didn't, but then I saw you." I whispered softly.
She slapped my hand away, glaring at me with brimming teary eyes. Many emotions were swirling around in those emeralds of hers, chocking me in the process. "Don't reject me baby." I begged her, holding her hands in mine.
I brough her hand to my face and kissed her palm. She lets out a shuddering breath. "Mark."
I rubbed her hand against my cheek. "Yes, baby?" I smiled.
"I will never love you." She said. Her voice hoarse, but clear.
If the heart was the earth then mine would have ceased to exist. Like an earthquake my heart was made to be split in two. I tried hard to not show it on my face, but the raw emotions that could be felt in my voice was impossible to hide.
"I see…however my sweet little vixen you may not love me now, but one day you will. Whether it's because of the Stockholm or because you finally saw the light, you will come to love me."
"How would you know?"
I chuckled lowly, caressing her cheek with my thumb.
"My sweet little queen I never thought that I would fall in love either, but look where we are now."
