If
Only I Knew-Ch.7
When
she woke up, everything was still a little nebulous to her. The clocked by her
bed said 8:38 am. ‘Morning already?’ She got out of bed feeling a little
hungry. Her stomach was growling. She walked toward the kitchen when she saw
the painting and memories of last night rush to her head. ‘If only I can get
it open, I’m home free.’ The thought made her happy.
Walking
toward the wall with the painting, she stood there a moment, not knowing what to
do. Thoughts
of doubt went into her mind. She was about to lift the painting up, when the door
suddenly busted open. There stood the man who kidnapped her.
‘He’s
here to torture me. Isn’t he?’ The thought made her shudder. Although
she was really scared in the inside, she didn’t let him see her fear, but he
saw right through it. He smirked and walked inside. She stepped back a little
afraid at what he might do to her.
“Where
do you think you’re going?” he demanded in his cold voice.
She
stood there in silence, not knowing what to say.
Finding
her voice once again, she managed to answer him.
“It’s
not like you don’t know, beside you said not to go through the other kitchen
door, but I didn’t hear you say anything about this one. So don’t say I
didn’t listen to you. Your the one who told me remember?” She shot back.
He
was a little surprised at her sudden change of attitude. He just stood there
staring at her; he was caught in his own words and she knew it. That made her
smile to herself.
She
just crossed her arms and glared at him.
She
wasn’t the type to be contentious, but then again he didn’t know her that
well.
After
a moment, he started to laugh. He didn’t know what came over him. Maybe
because the look on her face was so beautiful when she was angry or he has gone
completely nuts. He couldn’t help himself.
Before
she could react, he pulled her towards him, but gentler this time. Their bodies so
close that she could feel his heat through her clothes. Their faces moved closer.
‘What
is he doing?’
Relena
was panicking and didn’t know what to do. She couldn’t do this, not with him
anyways. She wanted to stop, but somehow she found herself moving closer to him
too. It was like some kind of force pulling her.
Then
something in his mind reminded him that he should be paying more attention to
his work than to her or this would jeopardize everything.
Pulling
himself away from her, he walked over to the kitchen door and went inside,
shutting the door behind him.
Relena
just stood there angry and disappointed at the same time. Angry that she'd let
herself be so open. He could have done anything and she would have let him. Her
eyes were blazing with fire, but then they softened. She missed how his body
felt against
hers. How warm he felt.
Shaking
that thought away, she opened the kitchen door and went inside. She was getting
hungry.
‘I
can’t remember the last time I ate something.’
Looking
inside the room, she couldn’t find him anywhere. Realizing that he probably
when through the other door, she looked around in search of some food. Finding no
food whatsoever, she moaned.
‘How
could he have not left some food? Is this some kind is punishment or something?
Starving me to death?’
Walking
back to the room, she sat down on the bed. Being hungry was something she was
used to. She could last awhile without food. Then suddenly a thought came to her.
She had a plan on how to escape. Lying down, she began to form a plan in her
head.
‘Being
hungry does help me.’ She thought chuckling to herself.
