2Chapter 4: Fate or Doom
(Annymarie's side of the story)
When I woke up I was in a room that was not mine. Then it came everything again; I'm in my new home. Something kept pinning me to the bed and it was wrapped around my waist. I started touching to see if I could get loose...when I felt him. His breath was hitting the nape of my neck; the weirdest thing is that it felt right and comforting. The complete opposite on how he acted last night. I turned a little to see his face and it was the face of an angel. So peaceful looking as if nothing bad in the world would destroy this moment. The other thing that got my attention was that he was without a shirt and you could see the way his strong arms hugged me so protectively. It made me feel safe. I notice that the natural color of his hair is really white...is amazing how his eyelashes are long and beautiful. I really thought he dyed his hair. I couldn't help myself and touched his hair...so soft and smooth. Wonder why his face is so familiar?
Questions started to invade my mind; like why is his grandmother so young? Or why does he look so familiar? Why did the garden glow? This type of questions were all over my head. Then I notice that I was wearing something which I don't remember putting on...did...did he?
Annymarie: Hey...Dante...wake up
He just cuddled me more. I took a big deep breath and...
Annymarie: HEY DUDE! WAKE THE HELL UP!
He woke up with a big jump that almost made him fall of the bed and go into a fighting position.
Dante: Wha? where? Who?
*looks around*
Annymarie: Calm down...I'm not going to hurt you.
*raises her hides in a sign of surrender*
He relaxes and the looks at me as if I was an alien or something.
Dante: Marie?
Glad he knows my nickname...how does he knows when I have never told him?
Annymarie: Hi
Dante: I'm Dante by the way.
Annymarie: I know who you are...Gabriel told me.
Dante: Oh...he told me your name too...
Annymarie: If you don't mind me asking...how did I came back to the room? And why am I in this big pjs?
Dante: I found you almost drowning in the lake; so I saved you and brought you back here and those are one of my pjs.
Annymarie: Thank you very much for helping me. Even though I don't remember being in a lake.
I am very grateful; I have no recollection of ever being in a lake. And since there's no memory of the event I dropped the subject.
Dante: Well since I'm up; I better get going. It's already late.
He says his late...maybe for work or something? I checked the clock and is 7:30 am. Damn...at what time does he have to be at work if it's already late? And since it's me I couldn't help asking.
Annymarie: What are you late for? Your job? What is your job?
He tensed and kept quiet for a while as I watched him get dressed. When he finally spoke he sounded a little nervous
Dante: I am...what you'd call a P.I? And I'm very late...*whispers* Hope Lady didn't start the job without me...
Annymarie: Lady? Whose Lady?
He ignored my question and that only made me more curious...Whose Lady? A colleague? Secret girlfriend or...just a friend? Damn...wish I could have heard the last part that he said.
Annymarie: Can I ask you something?
Dante: You already asked. What do you want to know now?
*pouts* There's no need to be so rude! And here I was thinking of how cute he was when he was sleeping.
Annymarie: Just wanted to know if I could get a ride to school...since you are already late.
He stopped doing whatever he was doing and looked like he was thinking about the idea. Then he looked at me a couple of seconds as if I had asked something very difficult. Then he took a deep breath and answered.
Dante: If you like riding on bikes then maybe I'll give you a ride.
Annymarie: *exited* Yes! Just give me 5 minutes to get ready and then we leave.
I flew out of bed and prepared myself for school. My clothes for the day were a super skinny jeans with a blood red corset and black combat boots with splashes of red as design. As for the make-up a little bit of eyeliner and some lip gloss. It made me kinda happy to know that he would give me a ride. And on top that his late. Maybe we can actually get along...let's see what the future will bring us. He could me my fate as well as my doom.
He was waiting at the kitchen with a hot cup of coffee. I think he choked on the coffee when he saw me.
Dante:*cough* Why are you dressed like that?
Annymarie: What? Do I look weird in this or something?
Dante: You are showing a little reviling...don't you think?
Annymarie:*gives him weird look* no...I don't; can we go now? I don't want to be late for school and you don't need to be more late for work.
He observed me for a moment before nodding and showing me the way to the garage. When we arrived there was this beautiful bike and it had a weird but cool design; they almost looked like symbols. The ride was quiet, awkward and fun. Once we arrived at the school it felt a little weird 'cause it was a new school for me; and it felt lonely. I saw as he left and headed inside keeping to myself. As my classes started a cute guy sat next to me.
?:So ...What's your name?
