1 Prologue

The air is thick. My heart keeps on palpitating as I feel his breath through his parted lips only a few gaps away. So close, so tempting, so alluring. Closing my eyes in anticipation I waited for the sensual touch.

"Damn, am I really not needed at all?" I heard someone speak from behind.

For a moment I think my heart stop beating. I turn my gaze away to see him standing behind us looking at me with so much grief and loss.

"I-I" my voice trembles with shock. I do not know what to say.

"Stop. I understand." He lifted his arm to halt me from further explanations that I cannot give.

"I will wait. I will wait for that day that you'll actually need me. Damn it, even if you don't I will remain by your side beneath those shadows. Even If you don't want me to, I'll sacrifice my entire life just for you," He stops midway giving me the most painful smile I have ever seen. "Come hell or high water I will be there at your beck and call."

I am speechless beyond anything else. I do not know what I should say. I should be happy, but I couldn't be no matter what I do no smile had made its way to form on my lips. I felt the void grew larger like a thorny vine that continued to engrave a scar deeply within my heart.

"What have I done?" I mumbled helplessly.

I was still trapped in my reverie when he had walked away, for good. He left me alone, just like how I wanted him to. For a moment I thought I was. I almost forgot that there is still someone infront of me watching everything unravel before him. I did not utter a single word nor did I try to form any. I bowed my head down, as I felt my heart constricted in pain.

"I must be greedy, for only I want you to see," cold fingers lifted my chin, "is me."

Those eyes, as cold as midnight, as bright as the sun. I stand in awe of his demeaning stature. Eyes shining like the master who bears it, a hue of crimson lethal yet breathtaking.

"I am yours. Use me as you see fit." He bent his left knee and took my hands to entertained with his. He looked at me with so much passion as he bestowed his kisses in each of my fingers, as if they were the most valuable thing in his life.

I wish I could return to those days of normalcy. Waking up just to go to school and walking back home with my friends. Eating out and laughing with my father. I wish I could go and turn back time to before everything has happened.

But it is already too late for that.
