I saw her one Halloween night. She was looking amazing, even with a horn sticking out of her forehead. Her body fascinated me as it went from one side of the room to another. She was wearing a white iridescent suit that showed all her curves, but was innocent enough a nun would approve. The hooves only made her feet look smaller. She was the prettiest unicorn ever to roam the earth.
Her brown hair, always one of her two best assets, was hanging in long curls around her angelic face. Her lips, pouty and delicious, were colored red, a crimson so bright it was a beacon calling me home.
She spotted me from the corner of her eye and turned to me, smiling that smile I had grown to love for so long. I knew what she was thinking, even before she spoke it. โHowโs my favorite little witch?โ
I blushed, knowing that she was talking about my costume as well as my demeanor. โSassy as always, my pretty.โ I giggled.
The party that we had gone to was one for women only. It was a childrenโs benefit. We somehow had managed to get the invitations and RSVPed as soon as we could. That was only a reason to excape the humdrum of life and our husbands.
โI rented a hotel room so we could drink and not worry about having to spend time driving all the way home. You are welcome to stay if you wish.โ
Again she smiled, my eyes lighting up again. She was planning to stay all along. Drinking would only make it easier to accept the invitation that only the Devil would make. We both knew what could happen.
โIF I do that you might take advantage of me. Unicorns are innocent.โ She said as I laughed. We both knew that she was close to that, but we also knew that like the unicorns, she longed to be corrupted.
The night passed quickly. Secret little quips floated between us all the night through. It was wonderful to joke and be myself even with a group of people about.
Time had come for us to either say goodnight, or go up to my floor. โYou donโt have to come with me if you do not wish.โ I said, feeling once again like a virgin, yet so like an imp. โI only want you happy.โ
She looked as if she were lost in thought for a moment, her eyes hiding everything she was thinking from me. I wanted to know what she lingered on. I wanted to see her in my arms, as she was within my heart.
โYes.โ She finally said. It seemed as if years had past between us before finally she answered. I thought perhaps I had offended her, but I knew also that she would say such.
I grabbed her hand, holding it all the way to the elevator. I am sure to the rest of the people in the lobby we must look the odd pair. The witch, evil yet mystical. The unicorn, mystical yet beautiful.
Inside the room awaited a surprise that she would have never imagined would come from me. Rose petals lay strewn across the floor and bed. The sheets atop the bed were black and orange silk.
Candles lit the way to a hot tub filled with bubbles. It was something I had only done with her once, yet longed to do it again. This was my chance to do it one more before I passed.
