Chapter Six

I tried my best to avoid Morningstar in class but it seemed impossible as we had most classes together.

Everytime I saw him my body hummed, it was like an automatic sensation to him. It brought lots of confusion to me, like last night.

My last class ended quickly and I hurried to go home but was caught.

“Trying to run away” Morningstar asked blocking my way.

“Yes..... I mean No” I said flustered.

He didn't say anything he only took my bag from me and took my hands in his to his motorcycle that was parked outside.

“Are you trying to kidnap me” I asked taking the helmet he was offering.

“What do you think” He answered shrugging.

I climb on his powerful bike and allowed myself to be kidnap, I felt nervous when he took me deeper into town. I held into his clothes for anchor as my restrained heart beat faster.

It was really surprising when he brought me to an amusement park.

“Here...” I ask confusedly getting down from his bike

“A friend of mine once said if she had the freedom to do anything, she would go to an amusement park” He said, smiling fondly at the memory.

It made me quite envious as this friend of his brought smile to his face.

“so what do you wanna do ” He asked buying tickets .

“I don't know. Lead the way” I shrugged.

He bought ice cream for us as the weather was hot. It felt cold in my mouth and it melted soon after, we went on the ferry wheel ride as he called it and it was overwhelming, then we went on a ride called drop tower I was so scared I clung pathetically to him. It was evening when we were done and a wide smile was plastered on my face , full of happiness I walked around the town with him heading to a shop, they sold antiques where I was fascinated with everything.

He pushed me to a seat and squatted to my level, he took my legs and gently removed my shoes which left me confused.

“What are you doing” I whispered but he ignored my protest and wore an anklet on my ankle before getting up and looking at other goods. The anklet wasn't heavy or anything beautiful but it was old and gold. I shaked my legs trying to get the feel of it as the two chains moved. I felt this tug in my heart that brought tears to my eyes I just couldn't help it as I hugged his back. This was the first time I was receiving gift outside my family.

Morningstar did not move or say anything till I moved away.

“Thank you” I said in a hoarse voice.

“Lets go” He said still carrying my purple bag that looked weird with him.

He drove to a movie theater, it was now late evening and the town was getting dark. He parked his motorcycle and carried my purple with him. I wondered where his own bag was. Morningstar bought move tickets to some unknown movie I've never watched in my life and we quietly entered the theater as the movie started. There weren't much people in the movie hall it was quite empty. We sat in the back holding popcorn in each hands. My favorite snack was popcorn, I just love the way the butter and sugar tasted in my mouth. I focused on the movie munching intently occasionally peeping at Morningstar, he was breathtaking as he silently crunched his popcorn. I was startled when I felt a touch on my leg , I looked at Morningstar but he was focused on the movie while his hands drew circles on my leg. After some minutes I wasn't focused on his hands but that was when it stroked moving an inch further. Even with the jeans I was wearing his touch felt intimate and I shivered slightly but Morningstar seemed unaffected as he continued it up to the inner parts of my legs by then I was breathing way to fast to be normal as i trapped his hands between my legs.

Morningstar looked at me as if trying to study me while his hands that was between my legs moved back to his body only then did I ease my body. I was a little shock as I did not expect him to do something like that. I looked around the dark Theater checking if anyone saw his act. I was relieved when everyone was focused on the movie. I stared at Morningstar, my mind in confusion as I thought if this is what he took me for, maybe he just wanted to be intimate and then discard me .

Morningstar was also looking at me , the movie long forgotten, he grabbed my hands squeezing it as if reassuring me. I didn't know what to think but the thought that he was using me for sex brought tears to my eyes . He looked confused as he did not know what was going on.

“What's wrong” He asked, his face filled with worry.

“ I'm fine just feeling peachy” I said avoiding his gaze. We did not even know when the movie finished and people started leaving and soon we were the only ones inside.

“Let's go” He said dragging me out of the theater. I didn't even look around as I followed him blindly until we reached his bike.

“What is your problem” He said harshly, eyeing my red eyes.

“My problem” I said laughing a little

“My problem is that you can't seem to keep your hands to yourself” I said loudly pointing at him. This was the first time I was raising my voice at someone.

“Well you never complained” He said harshly.

I just couldn't believe what he was saying, just because I never complained doesn't mean I want to be used. The whole thing brought tears to my eyes and it rolled down my face, I cleaned it quickly not wanting him to see it but it was too late.

“Are you crying” He asked softly but I refused to answer him

“I want to go home” I said taking my purple bag from him which he returned willing.

I climbed his bike and we zoomed off, I just couldn't help myself as I hugged his waist and rested my head on his back . The road felt lonely for some reason and eerily silent. Morningstar must have had the same thought because his body became stiff. All of a sudden birds filled the air looking as if they were running away from something. I turned my head to look behind me then I heard the growling and snarling.
