CHAPTER 75

I like Scar. I really do.

Not just because he seems to always be willing to protect me or because he stands up for me. It was much more than that. Much, much more.

It was a feeling left undefined likely to be called a feeling of oneness, of peace whenever I was with him. Which was coupled with an intense desire one I haven't felt nor experience all my life. It was strange just like him. A strange man giving me strange feelings.

My rational mind kept screaming at me, reminding that I barely even know the man but the good thing about it which was likely to be a bad thing about it was that it felt as if I had known him my whole life. Thus, I was acting based on instinct not on logic and it was bad.

Even if it felt like he was the missing piece to my puzzle. I still had to know him fully in himself.

I knew this yet I couldn't stop myself from accepting his company. It was the way I felt whenever I was with him. Free, alive, invisible. Yes, that was the word. He made me feel quite immortal. His eyes were so alive and he was just there.

He was to me the first guy who was trying his absolute best to prove himself to me. Although he was quite annoying I did enjoy his presence.

I didn't know for sure what I wanted to do with his request as I looked at his face and noticed the scar marks which looked like a cut on every side of his face. I wanted so much to run my hands through them but from our kiss yesterday I knew it made him uncomfortable.

I didn't want to discomfort him. On the contrary I just wanted him to be happy.

He was smiling and he looked better even with the scar, irrespective of it. I know I was supposed to be afraid of him but I just could not stop myself from staring.

Leaving with him to a place I didn't know sounded dangerous to me. It should be dangerous After all he was just a mysterious new guy in the street and this was not a novel.

He could very well have been a psychopath, or a serial killer but even knowing this I trusted him not to hurt me for some weird reasons.

He was staring at me the whole time while I pondered on what to reply to him.

I made up my mind to live. I was going to make a mistake soon enough in life and I wanted him to be that mistake. If he ever would that is.

"I can try sneaking out but do not try to pull any stunt. You don't know what I'm capable of." I said trying to sound as serious as possible which only made Scar giggle.

I had to put a warning out there that I was not going to be an easy prey for him even if I was not an easy prey because of him. Life played sick games with us.

He stood up immediately dominating the stairs with his form. "I do know what you are capable of my brave Reina." He said it with a chuckle, but I got the feeling that he meant it and It made me feel some kind of way.

I was flustered.

I felt brave.

"So I will go to the junction first and then wait for you there. Hurry up alright." He urged, already going towards the gate. He looked so happy it was contagious.

I nodded in agreement and ran upstairs while thinking of the best excuse to give my mother. I had to come up with something fast.

Hopefully she let me go.
