Blood on hands
Jay slowly sticked his head out to look at the main street then quickly came back to me. I was still crouching behind the dumpster, hoping not to make any sound. He leaned over my ear and whispered.
“Please, stay here, do not move. I might take a while but I will take care of everything.”
As soon as he finished his sentence he jumped up at the fire stairs and started climbing them at an enormous speed.

I stood in the kitchen wondering if I should make myself a lemon balm tea… or open a bottle of wine. It wasn't clear what would help better in calming my nerves… I chose wine. I poured myself a glass, and waited for Jay to get out from my bathroom.“What are you getting yourself into, Ana?!” I wondered anxiously.I had long passed the point when I could completely trust my own judgement.
Embracing the Devil The call
“What the hell?!” I shouted just looking at the screen. I couldn't believe that Tom would call himself as my “Husband”, and I didn't even know how to react. Should I think of it as a joke or declaration that he thinks of us in some serious way? For now, I would have call it a joke.Jay burst out laughing so much, tears started flowing from his eyes. I had to take a deep breath before slidi
Embracing the Devil The doctor's appointment
I finally decided to open my eyes after tossing around in bed all night. I was restless and confused. Before yesterday I was only trying to figure out my own emotions, now I was perplexed about Tom's words and actions as well. Was he serious about me… about us… was there “us”?When I walked out of the bedroom I noticed Jay was already gone. He took his washed clothes from the bathroom. The blanket I gave him was neatly folded, and lying beside the pillow. There was also a note left on the pillow, saying “Thanks!”. I guessed he didn't want to test Tom's patience, and risk
Embracing the Devil Anxieties
“So what else would you like to know?” Samuel seemed to be eager to talk with me.“A lot! But I don't think I should be hearing some things from you… I would rather hear them from Tom.” I replied sincerely.“Fair enough… By the way, why do you keep calling him Tom, you already know it's just his fake personality,” he asked curiously.
Embracing the Devil Silence
It had been a week since I had sent a message to Tom… there was no reply. On the first day I thought he was probably too busy to write back, working hard to settle all difficulties. After another day I started feeling anxious. I kept wondering if my message scared him, or maybe he thought that I became clingy, and it annoyed him so much he wanted to cut every possible contact with me. I wasn't sure if I should call Jay to get some explanation of Tom's behavior. After some thinking, I figured there could be two options. First, I'd call him, tell him everything, and then he… might think of me as an idiot, or second, perhaps I would find out that he was not my bodyguard anymore… That last one scared me enough not to contact Jay. Of course writing another message, or calling Tom wasn't an option at all.On the third day, I already felt depressed. I checked my phone every couple of minutes, and flinched whenever I heard the message sound. Finally after reading
Embracing the Devil Bliss
When I woke up in the morning Tom was still sleeping soundly. He was holding me tight like in the moment I fell asleep in the middle of the night. I could feel the muscles on his chest touching my back. I felt his breath on my neck, he was so close his lips were almost stroking my skin. All my restlessness had vanished in the moment I felt his touch. I couldn't comprehend how he was able to make me so blissful just by a simple hug. Maybe his actions weren't anything special, furthermore, lying that way was uncomfortable for me, as well as for him but
Embracing the Devil His story…
We ate breakfast in some abnormally peaceful atmosphere. I could imagine that couples that are amazingly in love with each other spent time like that, simply grinning and sitting without a word. I felt like I was brainlessly flowing on a pink, sparkling cloud, or in a magical, rainbow bubble… I never even imagined myself in that kind of state. I could picture my rationality looking at me with complete disbelieve, frantically searching for reasonable explanation of my current state, something like a sudden stroke, or a brain tumor rupture. I knew that it was only momentary, but I found that state pleasurable and somehow intoxicating. Of course my magical bubble burst as soon as I heard Tom's words.“I promised, I will tell you about Hong Kong and all… so ask away,” he declared.I felt like I fell down and hit the ground hard. That was the reality, we weren't lovey-dovey couple, and there was no peaceful world around us. It was time step further
Embracing the Devil Invitation
The situation was becoming slightly suffocating. Deep in my heart I had already accepted him the way he was. I believed in every word he said, I trusted whenever he said that there was no other option. I was clear of the choices I had made… although not all of them where dictated by rationality. Ok, probably none of them were dictated by rationality… It was whether curiosity or my stupid heart dreaming of insane and dangerous romance.Now I felt like I was dealing with some wild creature who could be tamed or devour me. I looked deep in Tom's eyes, my hands were shaking, my throat was squeezed, and I was struggling hard to push the air into my lungs. I knew that I would not reject him, no matter what he did, and no matter what he was planning. I wanted to tell him that, I genuinely wanted to scream it out loud, yet I couldn't find any words to say! How should I tell him all that without basically revealing that I was having strong feelings for him?&ldquo
