Need You

Mila blinked as she got up with her sister's help.

"You see don't you?" Mrs Crystals asked.

Damien frowned as he turned to face Mila again.

She moved but he raised his hand stopping her.

"Don't move...you might hurt yourself?" he said.

"Huh," she muttered.

"Just tell him what happened then maybe he will have a clue about what is going on " she said to Mila.

Mila told Damien what had happened and he kept frowning

"Witch, tell me what is happening to her?" he asked.

Mrs Crystals sat down.

"You know what killed her parents....it was the same bloodline as yours and is very close to you," she said.

"Get to the point " he muttered.

"She has the blood of the high witch....one of the most. powerful of her bloodline. And since your kind killed her, the anger and thirst for revenge still runs in that blood " she explained.

Damien's face was getting pale.

"And now with her powers awakened so does all that anger. It's keeping her from anything of your kind..in simple sense it protecting her ".

Mila stood up.

"But then that means I can't..." her eyes moved to Damien.

He sighed got up and walked out of the room. Mila gasped and moved running after him but her mother stopped her.

"You can't be close to him right now... it's dangerous especially for you " she said.

Mila bit her lip in frustration.

"But mother.....I need to be close to him "

Her mother yanked him back into the house.

"Well sorry but you can't," she said

...

Mila got back to work after a few days...Damien avoided her like she didn't even exist. She kept trying to get close but could feel the force push her back the moment he got close enough.

Sam took her hand and they ran up to the rooftop.

"I can't take it anymore, Sam" she yelled.

"Let it all out " yelled back Sam.

Mila yelled and fell back in exhaustion. Sam sat down next to her.

"He looks so sad every time he comes to the office," said Mila.

"That's because you are not there...and are avoiding him," said Sam.

"Am not it's just that...." she fell silent.

She had not told Sam about her problem.

"Hi, if you are u guys are having a lover's quarrel, am still on your side " she said.

Mila smiled holding her hand.

"It's not that....something is wrong with me and he seems not to take it very well," she said.

"What did he try to force you to do something and can you refuse? So now his mad at you " Sam asked.

"No it's not that....and he won't ever force me into anything " she muttered. And we are not lovers...yet. only stayed with him and maybe kissed a few times. Does that make us a couple?".

Sam scoffed.

"My dear friend what do you think that is....everyone around you knows how much the boss likes you. It's why we are wrong why you both are acting this way "

Mila sighed.

"Maybe I should try again...and talk to him," she said.

"You have my support...you have been looking pale these past few days. Maybe if you both talk to each other then things might change ".

Mila had waited until almost everyone had left. She he'd wanted them to be alone so we could try and get to him.

It was a week now and she had not held or hugged him. She missed his smile and the way he cared for her.

She moved knocking on his door. She had kept watch and noticed he had not left the office yet.

"Come in," he said.

She took a deep breath and walked in. He was leaning back in his seat, eyes closed with his hair down.

The moment she stepped in, his eyes flew open and he looked back at her.

"Stop," he said

Mila did and met his gaze.

"I told you...it will hurt you more than me," he said.

She blinked.

"I don't care," she said.

"Well, I do Mila...I do t want you to get hurt cause of me " he said.

"I will be careful, please let me get close," she said.

He sighed gazing at her. Damien so much wanted to say yes but knew the consequences that would follow.

"No, Mila. Please leave " he said.

Mila could feel something build up in her chest...it was suffocating and cold.

"Please.." she pleaded.

He could see her tears start to fall, he could not watch her cry. Damien got up but stopped midway.

Mila who had hoped he had finally accepted frowned when he stopped.

"Leave, now," he said.

Her tears fell.

"Am sorry am like this...I don't even know why it's happening. But I miss you... so much that every time you pass by me and act like you don't see me, something pierces into my chest. At night I can't sleep for am always thinking of you. I don't even know why am like this but I need you ". She burst into tears.

He couldn't watch her cry. Damien moved so fast, that the crying Mila didn't even see him. She felt a gush of wind hit her face and his scent filled her space.

His hands touched her face, Mila looked up her tears falling.

"Please don't cry....am sorry I made you feel that way" he muttered.

Mila sniffed falling into his chest. Damien not wondering how he was able to be that close to her held the crying woman in his arms.

"Am sorry...I just wanted to feel you near me " she cried.

"I know...and I am now. So please stop crying " he said and then suddenly stopped.
