"MAY!" I could hear a voice but was it his voice? I didn't know. Then I could feel someone moving me. Someone was definitely shaking me, pulling me and holding me. Then the voices were gone. It was sudden, just like when they started. The evening was eerily quiet except for the person who was holding me.
I gasped for air and turned to face my companion. The familiar silver-grey eyes met mine. I couldn't contain myself and I broke into tears. My sobs shook my body as I shivered in his cold but comfortable arms. What had just happened? Was I really going crazy? Why was I hearing voices? What the hell was wrong with me?
He held me and tried to soothe me.
"What is it? What happened May? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" his concerned questions gushed out at me but all I could do was cry. I couldn't stop, I was so scared. I couldn't understand anything.
I could feel him place soft kisses on my hair. At any other occasion I'd be swooning but then, I just pulled him closer, hoping he'd shield me from whatever just happened.
It felt like hours before my tears began drying up. Slowly, I started breathing and looking around me. Shit... was all I could think of as the blood rose to my ears again. I was literally mashed into him but I was still too cared to let go.
When he heard my sobbing subside, he gently pulled me away so I would face him.
"What happened May?" he asked handing me a Kleenex.
I wiped my eyes and my nose and took a shaky breath. My head was throbbing like I'd been hit by a hammer.
"I was walking to my car from the library and stopped to look at the sky. It was so beautiful and then I started hearing voices like I was in the middle of a crowded mall or something. Everything was spinning and then the headache started. I looked around but there was no one here..."
I was confused and when the memories of the horror came back, I couldn't hold my tears. I started crying again and feeling like an idiot at the same time.
He took my face into his hands and wiped my tears away. He looked into my eyes, with a pained look like he could feel what I went through. Involuntary I reached to touch his hands. They were cold as usual but I didn't care. I loved him; I wouldn't care if he'd turn into a hideous midget right now....
He kept gazing into my eyes and then came forward and placed a small kiss of my forehead and then moved towards my lips. Automatically my eyes fluttered closed as his lips touched mine. I'm sure heaven smelled like him, if there existed one. His breath was cool against my skin and even his lips felt like frozen roses, cold but so soft.
The kiss was chaste but then something inside me wanted more. I never knew I'd be so bold but then I'd been discovering many new things about myself since I moved here. I moved my hands and locked them around his neck. His moved to wind tightly around my waist as I moved closer. There was a fire building inside me, I wanted more of him, as if his kiss was acting like a natural stimulant. My heating body craved for his cold skin. My dreams played on my mind and I realized how similar the feeling was; him against me and me relishing his scent, his taste.
I thought I was going to pass out when he pulled himself away. Had I done something wrong? I was getting anxious again. I'm sure he caught the look in my eyes because instead of talking, he pulled me back and placed another kiss on my lips, a little less heated than before.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. I wont let anything happen to you." He said, slowly moving strands of hair away from my teary face. "You're mine. I love you May. So whenever something goes wrong, I'll be there to make it right for you. Tell me, do you love me too?"
It was clear in his eyes, he wanted me as much as I wanted him. I nodded. I was so happy. I felt like standing up and dancing around. But instead, we sat on the cold concrete ground holding each other. A parking lot wasn't the exact place I had in mind for my first kiss but right now, I didn't care about that either. My first kiss had been awesome and I doubted I'd feel equally comfortable if I were sitting on a rose-petal bed.
Eeshh... roses on a bed?
When did I become so romantic? My mind was surely messed up.
I closed my eyes inhaling his scent. Everything else was forgotten, all the pain I was going through before. That fear I was feeling moments ago just faded away and there was just him and me there. Being held by him and letting his long fingers stroke my hair was definitely the best feeling I'd ever felt- except for the kiss of course.
He insisted on carrying me to his car. I wasn't sure of my feet either so I agreed. It was amazing how easily he lifted me, almost like I weighed nothing. I wrapped my arms around his neck; I just couldn't get enough of the closeness between us. He wanted to carry me to my room but I knew granny would freak out so I leaned against him while we waited for granny to get the door. I didn't carry a key with me and my head was still reeling to be able to stand upright by myself.
"Oh my God, what happened?" I hated seeing granny worried.
"Nothing serious granny, I just got dizzy and tripped. So Ayden helped me home." I tried steadying myself against the wall. "Granny, this is Ayden, he is the one who tutors me in Chemistry and Ayden, this is my Granny."
"Hello, Mrs. White." Ayden was suddenly very serious.
"Hello." Granny replied with a smile. Oh God, this granny meeting secret boyfriend thing was really weird. I tried walking to the couch but as soon as I turned my head, a jolt of pain shot right through my brain to my eyes.
"Gah!" I gasped trying to hold the door frame but Ayden was already by my side, helping me stand.
"I better get you to your room." He said and my granny nodded in affirmation. So, he lifted me in his arms again and headed towards my room.
"I'll make us some coffee." Granny told me. Then she turned towards Ayden with a grateful smile. "You've helped a lot. I hope you'll stay for coffee."
"So what happened back there?" he asked crouching beside my head as soon as granny was gone.
"I really have no idea." I sighed. That experience was really disturbing. "I was just walking when it hit me. I've never felt like that ever! I just hope that doesn't happen again, I don't think I'll be able to take it!"
"Shh..." he placed a finger against my lips. "Don't stress yourself. Everything will be fine. I'm here for you; I'll always be here for you and no matter what you go through, I'll be by your side. OK?"
I simply nodded because I was sure my voice would crack.
"I've grown to love you, May and nothing you do or anyone else does will ever be able to separate me from you." He said softly tucking my hair behind my ears and softly trailing his fingers along the shape of my cheeks as I lay there, dumbstruck by the emotions in his eyes and his voice. Suddenly, he got up to sit on a chair near the foot of my bed. I was about to ask why when granny entered.
