Spellbinding desire.. (PM to Join)

[Hikari]

Keira was a sorcerer's apprentice. She'd been learning under her Master since she was 12. He'd plucked her from poverty and the hell that her village had become all those years ago.. He had that those eyes that could say thousands of things without a single word being spoken, and she knew she would be sad to leave once her apprenticeship was over.. It had started as a lovely crush. Like a student would on her teacher, but it became much more than that. They'd stop in towns and young men would always ask if she would like to eat with them or have a drink. She'd always refuse and stay by her master's side. Many years past and she grew into quite the woman. She was now 19 and next year she would have to leave her master's side.. He'd often catch her looking at him as she tried desperately to permanently forge him in her memory..


Keira (no last name)
Age: 19
Height: 5'7"
Hair: a lovely light brown color and curly extending down her back
Eyes: green with specks of gold
Build: Thin but shapely

The role of the master is taken..

 

[Hikari]

They were trailing through the woods as usual and discovered their supplies were running low.

"When are we getting to the next village?" she'd ask several times during the trip.


She knew it was a bit annoying and that it would make him want to hurry the trip along faster.. She loved that face he made when he was getting ticked off.. It was funny to her for some strange reason and couldn't help egging him on.. He made her practice object levitation when they stopped for lunch and transformation as they neared the village. It was always hard work, but she loved the challenge.. He never let up, but she knew it was because he wanted her to be the best she could be.. They got to the Tavern and sat down. Several men were giving her the eye and she couldn't help but wonder what they're problem was.

 

[poohlive]

It was perhaps the stupidest thing he had done in a time. To keep this girl and raise her as his own. For Randall, life on the street was worse than death, but others found comfort in its harsh realities. He let them choose such an ordeal, but not the children. There was no need to be cruel to the children.

He had taken her up, and she had grown... boy had she grown into a fine woman. The man, in each village would pawn after her, come onto her, and she just shied them away. He wondered if it was her funny way of teasing, or perhaps she just did not know much about men. That could not be, she knew enough.

All women knew enough. He had several of his own life stories to prove the matter.

Keira, a simple girl that had grown into a lovely woman. It seemed like each day he had to remind himself of the snot nosed brat that would have a cheeky smile as she cleaned up mouse guts or newt eyes from the floor. Dirty, rugged and tomboyish, eager to learn, but stuck in her own ways. Nowadays she had a different look, tall, elegant, pretty.

He growled low in his throat as he used the word pretty to describe her. Of course she had looks, but must he actually spend time thinking about them. Each day he found himself doing that very thing, and it was annoying him even more than she was.

He ordered them both a meal, and ale for himself. In less than a year she would be gone, away from his apprenticeship. Things will be better then, he could not wait.

"I think they want to say hi," He said, looking at a few of the boys at the bar, one of them had sent a drink over. If she could go find herself a man, that would be...

He felt a twinge of jealousy and growled again.

 

[Hikari]

"Well I don't want to say hi to them.. They're absolute idiots.."

She pointed to one who was sitting off to the side picking his nose and two others who were having a belching contest.

"Completely disgusting.. There is no way in hell I am giving those pigs the time of day.."


Her master gave a slight chuckle and went on about how she needed to work on mastering the remaining spells he had to teach her. She couldn't help but get caught in his eyes. He was different from the other men in the bar. He was smart, respectable, and occasionally quite funny. He was attractive too. She was sure he'd had a woman or two in the years she'd been learning under him. He probably had no problems finding women, but she hadn't seen him go off with one for many years now. Perhaps because she knew enough now to ask where he was going.. She'd end up staring at him sometimes trying not to dream of anything beyond her being his student, but sometimes she failed and these things would end up in her dreams. She'd wake up covered in sweat and her undergarments soaked.. She sighed looking at the drink that had been sent over..


"You can have it if you like.."

 

[poohlive]

He took the ale, winking at the group of rowdy men before he looked back at his apprentice with a growling spurt. She kept doing this, over and over again. She would get lost... looking at him but drifting into her own little world. He had seen it the past few days.

How long had he known of it though, her eyes staring at him, wandering over his body as much as his own quick glances wandered hers. She had grown into a full woman, with all the shapely curves that went with it. He could not deny that, and yet... why did he try to so often?

Because he wa old and stubborn, and refused to admit she had grown up, even if she had.

"My dear, you have not paid one single mind to anything I have said coming in here, have you? What is your problem, Keira? This keeps happening? You are losing focus."

He slammed the drink down in front of her, his own eyes growing to slits as he stared at her. His body became hard, rigid, his face of stone.

"Tell me. I don't want to hear any excuses this time. Tell me what is it that is so exciting in your own little world?"

 

[Hikari]

"My dear, you have not paid one single mind to anything I have said coming in here, have you? What is your problem, Keira? This keeps happening? You are losing focus."

He slammed down the drink which startled her. His eyes narrowing to slits as he seemed quite aggrevated with her.. His whole body giving off that coldness she saw from time to time. That unwavering seriousness he had that she simply could not escape..


"Tell me. I don't want to hear any excuses this time. Tell me what is it that is so exciting in your own little world?"


His words came out in a harsh tone that for some unknown reason, brought sudden tears to her eyes. She became angry and blurted out more than she normally would have.


"When I go off like that, I am a normal girl. Just a normal girl with feelings and desires. When I am there, I can feel love.. That's what you wanted to hear! Now leave me alone!"


She threw her napkin onto her plate of only half eaten food and stormed off into one of the rooms they'd purchased for the night.. She knew she was acting like a stupid child, but she didn't care. He didn't have to speak to her that way. Why did it have to be him that she dreamed of? There were plenty of attractive men that showed interest in her, but they never made her feel the way he always did.. As she'd gotten older she always felt a great warm feeling when he leaned over her or got quite close. Once she had even pretended to be asleep, to lay her head on his shoulder. She knew it wasn't right for her to feel that way, but she did no matter how hard she tried to forget.. There was a knock at the door soon after her outburst.. She knew it was him.. So she quickly threw off her dress down to her underdress which looked much like a nightgown to make it seem like she had been trying to go to bed early.. The only problem with this, was that without her outer bindings, there was nothing supporting her chest, and they could be seen beneath the thin cloth. It wasn't see-through, but what was now visible was enough to drive most men mad. She opened the door and looked at him dead in the face.


"I was going to sleep early master, what is it that you want from me?"


The look that showed on his face for those 2 minutes was absolutely priceless, but keira didn't exactly understand the cause of it..

 

[poohlive]

Women. They needed to be drug out into the street and beaten until they made sense. It would never work though, because as far as he knew, women in the history of the world have never made sense.

He wondered if there were a spell he could make, to help understand this secret language of women. If he could find out what they were thinking, what was in their silly little heads that made so much sense to them, and was absolutely ridiclulous to everyone else.

A universal translator between the two sexes.

How ingenius.

He would need to work on it.

In the meantime, he had a scared little girl of an apprentice that needed dealing with. He finished off his drink, paid for it, and then went upstairs. It was a long walk that he dreaded with each step. He had to gather up his robes, lumber up to her.

When she opened the door, he already had his speech planned out.

"Listen I'm sorry-"

That is about as far as he got though. The words just stalled in his mouth, it hung low, almost to his chest. What in the world was she wearing? Or not wearing, as he clearly saw. She had a simple bit of cloth covering her, and it was not doing a very good job.

He got aroused just looking at her. Oh God, how long had it been since he'd seen a woman like that, since he touched one. So young, so supple, nubile, soft, her skin pale and gentle against his touch.

It had been years, it must have been. He could not remember the last time, only this moment. It stuck at him, drove him wild with desire. He felt himself growing hard just at the sight of her, so close to her, wanting more, to touch, to feel.

Deep in his throat he had to cut off his own growl. His muscles pulled tight as he kept it, pissed off for thinking those things. It was a young girl, young and innocent and more than a little naive. She just didn't understand.

"...you," How long had he just stood here looking at her, eyeing her up and down without any words being spoken, "You should... put something on."

He grabbed the door, not closing it, but pulling it so there was only a slight crack. He turned away, refusing to look at her, even steal glimpses inside the crack. Even though he wanted too, this urge inside him growing.

She was just a little girl, what in the hell was he thinking? God, he was so stupid.

"I am sorry. I.. just, we don't have long together. You are almost done with your training, and I don't want you losing focus so close to the end. You have lots of potential..."

Lots of potential, oh so much potential. He had to bite his lower lip, hard, to keep these dirty thoughts to himself.

"I just want what is best for you."

 

[Hikari]

She pulled her overdress back on and opened the door nearly hitting him in the head. What the hell had made him freeze like that?


"I'm sorry I over reacted like that in the tavern.. I was an embarrassment. You've given me everything, and I've given you nothing.."


Her stomach rumbled loudly.. She hadn't eaten all of her meal, which was stupid no matter how upset she had been..


"I should've eaten all of my food.."


She frowned looking very ashamed of herself. His eyes were as wonderful as ever and she found herself lost in them again.. She hugged him tightly inhaling his scent and making memories. He seemed different than usual and froze again. She didn't notice how aroused she was making him and was pressed tightly against his body.


"Thank you for everything you've given me master.."


He let go of her, almost pushing her off of him and walked off to his room.

 

[poohlive]

Why had he let that hug linger so? Why didn't he push her away the moment she touched him? Why did he feel himself pulling her in closer, caressing her hair, smelling the soft and supple skin on her neck?

It tore through him so. He wasted so long with this foolish of a woman, one who did not even know what she was doing. That was perhaps the greatest insult of all. He could deal with a woman coming onto him, using her feminine whiles to get under his skin, but her? All she was doing was staring at him.

Some little crush which he kept fueling because he had his own urges.

Maybe that was it, it was just a long time since he had been with a woman. If he could find someone to bed, then he could end this silly show and they could move on with themselves.

He went downstairs, almost intent on finding a girl at the moment, but instead found an empty tavern. Only a few old drunken men, the same ones asking Keira for their company earlier were laughing and talking of their own conquests.

He needed someone, needed something.

The half eaten plate of food was still here. A sudden growl emerged from his throat. Silly girl, should eat when she is told. He grabbed it, along with the rest of the ale, bringing it up to her.

"Remember to be careful next time," He growled, throwing the food into her waiting arms, not wanting to look at her, not wanting to notice if she still wore that tiny revealing slip.

He had to steal glances from the corner of his eyes, but be damned if he cursed himself for every look.

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok... is all."

He made his way to his own room, before pausing, wondering if he should go back. Thought against it, went to his room, stopped just as he was about to close the door, and instead let it hang slightly ajar.

He hated this very instinct taking him over. It would be the death of him. Silly girl.

Deeper into his own room, he began to undress.

 

[Hikari]

He'd brought her the rest of her food and a bit of the leftover ale.

"Remember to be careful next time."

Why had he pushed her away like that?

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok... is all."

He stomped off to his room.. She soon finished her food eating it in 5 minutes.. Somehow she felt like something was left unsaid and she walked over to his room about two doors down. She wasn't exactly sure of what she was going to say or expected to accomplish, but all of it was thrown from her mind as she saw him. He was undressing. He threw his cape on the chair, then pulled off his shirt. He was absolutely gorgeous.. Not too muscular but defined nonetheless. She almost moved aside as he began undoing his pants, but for some reason she couldn't look away.. Slowly they were sliding down. She'd gotten closer and closer to the door.. Then boom, she fell through the door and up went his pants.. In her fear, she accidently made herself invisable, and ran back to her room, locking the door behind her.. She was so dead now.. She'd been down there long enough to for him to have gotten a good look at her she thought as she once again became visable. He was going to kill her. She'd violated his privacy and there'd definately be a punishment for it.. She pulled off her outer dress and slipped into the bed. It was then that she realized, her underwear was once again soaked and pulled them off.. She'd put on another pair in the morning.. She fell asleep dreading the fact she would have to face him in the morning..

 

[poohlive]

In the morning Randall arose early, getting dressed. He had a lot to do today, especially with his new apprentice. He would have to go about this infatuation all wrong. He had feeling for her that needed to stop, and she... she was either by choice or by chance seducing him.

This would solve both of their problems.

He went to her room, carrying breakfast with him. She lay asleep under a thin blanket. It lay atop her, exposing the smooth skin underneath. She wore nothing, again. He gritted his teeth, setting the plate of food on the desk beside her. He walked up, moving the blanket so he could not see such temptation anymore.

She would be punished for that... all of it.

"Wake up, apprentice," He spoke softly in her ear, helping her rise from her sleep.

"Don't move, I do not want to see you in some exposed state. You should wear something when you go to bed, please. I brought you breakfast. Hurry and eat, get dressed. Because we have a lot of work today."

 

[Hikari]

She woke to the sound of his voice in her ear..

"Wake up, apprentice.."


Her eyes went wide. She could swear she locked the door to her room. Then she remembered unlocking spells..


"Don't move, I do not want to see you in some exposed state. You should wear something when you go to bed, please. I brought you breakfast. Hurry and eat, get dressed. Because we have a lot of work today."


She was surprised he wasn't yelling at her, but this scared her more.. He had that stern look with an eerie calmness there as well.. Who knew what punishment was in store.. Last time he had found a dirty clothing chest covered in mud and dirt and she'd had to clean it completely using no magic and an odd wooden scraping tool.. It had been absolute murder on her. She wasn't aloud to eat, or sleep until it was finished. It took her a whole day and a night to finish and she had to travel like a zombie in the morning.. What she had done was far worse than that situation.. This would not be good.. She ate her food and pulled on her dress and clean underwear.. She packed her things and walked outside to see his disappointed eyes fall on her.. This would not be good..

 

[poohlive]

He stood outside the tavern, motioning for he to follow her. In the back, closed off from the rest of town was a small grove of trees paused only by a single clearing. Here, were there two horses and the small cart they used for supplies. The cart was mostly empty, since they were running low, but there was enough that it had made somewhat of a mess in the back. Jostling from town to town did that to a cart.

He asked her to come to him.

"I think you know what this is, "He held out the simple black collar. It was elegant almost in design and display. Something a woman might wear to a ball or masquerade to accent her neck. Keira would know what it truly was though.

"Come here," He snapped it around her, his fingers wanting to trail along her neck. He had to hiss at himself for that small amount of brazenness, as he purposely stepped away from her.

The collar was designed for sorcerers and magicians, it sapped them of their power. While wearing it, they were no more magical than the leaves slowly falling to the ground around them.

He took a seat on one of the stumps, showing her a couple pails of water, some soap, and a brush.

"The horses need cleanred, the cart as well. Inside and out. All the dirty, everything that has spilled. I want us looking respectable when he go for supplies. Hmmm, and you better hurry up. This just might take all day."

This would help take some of that sassy spark out of her. If she would not grow up, then he would burn it out, by laborours chore after laborous chore.

"Get to it, Keira."

 

[Hikari]

She was mentally cursing herself now for that whole incident as she began scrubbing the cart.. There were potion and food remnants all over the place, some of them sticky and smelly.. It had already been 15 minutes and she'd only gotten off the mud.. Manual labor was definately not something she was cut out for.. Her hair was now a mess, her dress dirty, and even her fingernails couldn't escape this mess unscathed. She worked her arms to the bone and finally the filth started coming off.. It would be a few hours now before the sun would set and the cart was nearly finished. She nearly collapsed as she finished the last spot.. She fell over three times after getting down from the cart, and merely went through the horse grooming process on autopilot as it had been ingrained in her skull.. When it was all over and done she collapsed once more infront of him hungry and exhausted..

 

[poohlive]

That was better. He had a look of satisfaction on his face. She could no longer be cute, or flirty. She was only exhausted. It was very good.

He helped her move next to him, cradling her in his arms as they both laid there.

"All right, it's ok. You did good, Keira. Very good. I am proud of you."

He held her a full waterskin, with some bread and cheese. Moving her hair to one side so he could remove the anit-magic. He caught a whiff of her once more, that sweet smell of sex and lavender. It teased him more, and he could only growl at the stupid feelings that conitnued to rise in him.

Still, she was tired, he could not very well blame her for having a pleasing scent.

At least, not yet.

"How are you, would you rather just lie here for awhile?"

 

[Hikari]

"All right, it's ok. You did good, Keira. Very good. I am proud of you."


His words were soft as they were in her dreams, but she was too tired to think about anything.. There was food and water there but she could not yet touch it, because she had to regain feeling in her arms.


"I am sorry my master.. I did not mean to intrude on your privacy.. I did the best job to get out the sleeping potion, but it's soo.."


She was near fainting and she drank a great deal of the water quickly, making her cough a bit..


"The potion is dried deep in the wood and there was nothing I could do.."


She just laid there in his arms until she had the strength to eat the food that was placed in front of her.. She sat up and began to eat as fast as she could.. She'd missed lunch and it had been quite a long day.. She did not hate him for this punishment, she was merely filled with her own shame. When she had finished her supper, she told him there was something she had to do and ventured into the woods.. There was a lake that she remembered about half a mile back. She shed her clothing and eased into the water. It was not yet summer so the water was still a bit cold, but she got used to it.. She soon felt the dirt and grime fall from her body as she soaked. She eventually remembered her master's body from lastnight.. That aching filled her very being and she began to rub the area between her legs attemping to find relief. One of her fingers slid inside and she began to cry his name, imagining she was his lover. She threw her head back as her body shook in a forbidden release. It was then she heard a rustling sound and could swear someone was there.. She went to that area later, fully clothed, but no one was there. Upon returning to her master he seemed different and troubled.. She just prayed that the rustle had been a squirrel..

 

[poohlive]

It had not worked as he hoped. In fact, if anything it had done the exact opposite. The further he pushed, the more she seemed to grow some sort of crush on him. He didn't understand it at all.

"Come, Keira. I want you to sit by me."

She was a simple girl, simple and naive. That was all. A girl who was becoming obsessed over him because he was the only man she had known her whole life. The rest were just boys that wanted to buy her drinks and fuck her in some dirty back alley.

He wouldn't let that happen to her, couldn't, but then, what was the alterenative? Him? He didn't love her?

Another of those twinges came as she sat down beside him, her sweet frame still wet and the clotching clung to her skin, making it almost see thrue.

No, he didn't, he didn't love her, he didn't like her. He was just a horny old man that needed some release.

"Is there something you're not telling me? Something you've been keeping secret from me that I should know. I want it out now, Keira. This is no simple game, I want to know."

 

[Hikari]

"Come, Keira. I want you to sit by me."

She sat down beside him, and looked at him..

"Is there something you're not telling me? Something you've been keeping secret from me that I should know. I want it out now, Keira. This is no simple game, I want to know."


She didn't want to tell him, she was scared and ashamed of her feelings for him. She wanted to say it was a simple crush and that it meant nothing, but that simply wasn't the case. It was impossible to lie to him. He had those eyes that could stare straight through you.



"I.. I am sorry my master.. I am filled with things that I should not be.. They are wrong and I have tried to stop, but I can not help it.. I have never admired or trusted a person more in my life.. My master you are everything to me, and it pains me that I am nothing more than a pupil to you.. Perhaps I am just a silly girl, but I am sure what I feel will not disappear.. I understand if you want to cast me off and discontinue my apprenticeship.. No one is too keen on women dealing with magic anyway.."



She got up and began to go, but felt him grasp her arm..

 

[poohlive]

"You are a silly girl, you know that," He motioned for her to sit next to him again. He was not going to cast her into the darkness because she had some schoolgirl crush. Everyone does.

"I don't care if you like me or not, Keira. That doesn't add into it, but what you have been doing... it is wrong. You can not seduce me. I am not some young boy that will be at your beck and call because you flash some skin or pout, or stare into my eyes."

He was going to say he had more refined tastes, but rather bit his lower lip instead. That would do no good, she would think then all she had to do was change how she acted in front of him, and she would win him. He had to get that out of your head.

"You must understand it could never work, Keira. I'm so much older than you. I could be your father. You're supposed to have crushes on those guys giving you drinks at the bars..."

Bad example.

"Well maybe not those guys, but you know what I mean. You just..."

How long has it been since he's been with a woman? Damn, he hated to keep bringing that up, while she looked at him this way. Those young eager eyes, filled with desire and sadness. How could he stand it, not wanting to reach out and touch her cheek.

He felt himself doing it, and instead pulled back, hating himself all the more.

"I'm sorry," He said, distracted, already leaning back. It was a hard day.

 

[Hikari]

"I don't care if you like me or not, Keira. That doesn't add into it, but what you have been doing... it is wrong. You can not seduce me. I am not some young boy that will be at your beck and call because you flash some skin or pout, or stare into my eyes."

She heard him go on and on like that. She had never tried to make him her own or even lead him on. His words were not true.. He was not old enough to be her father. He was 13 years older than her at most, not that this wasn't a huge age gap, but still.. He thought she was trying to be like some wandering trollop and she would not have it..


"I do not understand.. I am not trying to lure or seduce you.. I have never tried to do so.. Do you really think I would stoop to the trappings of a common whore? I can not believe you think so little of me.."


She once again stomped off into the tavern and sat at the bar.. A young man began giving her the eye and she decided she would play her master's little game.. The boy was of middle status and had a seemingly bad reputation and quite a number of female conquests.. If he wanted her to flirt she would flirt.. It only took her 5 minutes to get him to invite her to go to a local festival and they exited the building in plain view of her master..


"Where do you think you are going apprentice?" he asked..


"This is Steven, and we are going to the festival.."


She trailed off with this boy, into the growing darkness..

 

[poohlive]

He could feel himself gritting his own teeth, grinding them down to mere nubs in his mouth. She was doing this on purpose, running aorund with the first guy she could get her hands on. It wasn't right, he had to...

He had to what?

Randall sat down in the tavern, with a big pint of ale to keep him company. What exactly was it that he was supposed to do, chase her down, beat him up and then whisk her away to his bedroom? He had pushed her away so many times, pushing himself away from these feelings, why did he get jealous the moment she does just what he kept telling her to do.

He drank most of the ale, alreayd asking for a second.

Perhaps it was for the best. She could learn like other women, grow, find some guy, understand that most of them are jerks, and then eventually settle down with one she felt comfortable with.

Which left him, alone in the tavern, drinking by himself despite how early it still was.

He sighed into his drink, long and solemn.

 

[Hikari]

Hours past and he didn't come. This boy made pass after pass at her and she merely gave him a fake smile each time. He began to come on a bit strong as he had a few drinks, and would press against her and say filthy things.. Fortunately he was drunk enough that he was down in one punch.. She shook her hand and sat in the middle of the festivities feeling more alone than before... He really didn't give a damn about her she decided, and she drowned her sorrows in the strongest liquor they offered.. She was never much of a drinker and it had quite a strange effect on her.. Men would come up to her in her apparently smashed state and make passes, but instead of the easy lay they expected they got beaten down one by one with her fists.. Her master probably didn't think she had been paying attention when he mentioned self-defense when she was 12, but she had heard every single word and practiced in secret... She took down 12 guys in a row and she staggeringly escaped the uproar. Eventually she reached the tavern and stumbled inside looking quite different than her usual self.. Her hair was a mess and she smelled of the awful stuff she had been drinking.. She sat beside her own master not immediately recognizing him and cursed at him like a sailor. One would not even think words like that existed in her vocabulary and she sat there doing this drunk as hell.

 

[poohlive]

By the time she sat down next to him, he was just drunk enough to feel light headed and happier. He loved this feeling, it was so much better than the crappy past he had been in. What was that?

There was something that had pissed him off so much, before, wasn't there? Women problems? He couldn't remember. Hell, he always did have woman problems, so it must be just the usual old stuff.

"You can't say that, come on. You need to be proper, ladylike. Respectable. How are you supposed to get a man with such a dirty mouth like that?"

He smiled thought, buying both of them a drink. His poor apprentice. Yes, that's who she was. She must have had fun wherever she went, because she looked like an entire mess.

"So, you must have had a good time then, is that right?"

 

[Hikari]

"You can't say that, come on. You need to be proper, ladylike. Respectable. How are you supposed to get a man with such a dirty mouth like that?"

"So, you must have had a good time then, is that right?"

She felt deep welling anger inside her and she swung at him. He strangely caught every punch she threw. She was amazed at how good this man's reflexes were.. They reminded her of something and she began to cry.. She sat there crying and drained her mug then collapsed on her master..


The next morning was murder.. Her head was killing her and she couldn't really remember much.. She vaguely remembered unbridled anger, and her fists ached.. She didn't remember how she'd gotten back to the tavern or how she ended up in her room.. All she knew was the dizzying pain in her head. Her master came in later merely shaking his head at her..

 

[poohlive]

Eventually she passed out. He saw her head weave and bob to the side before falling to the ground. He grabbed her just as she fell though, grabbing her and holding her in his arms. He moved up, taking her to her room.

She would need to be here, relaxed, comfortable. He tucked her into her bed.

"Aren't we a pair," He said, sitting on the bed next to her, his hand brushing away the strands of hair from her face. Lonely, tired strands that fell from the rest, and he put them back where they belonged.

"I'm sorry," He said, looking down at himself, knowing he had cause all of this from her. She was just a silly girl that didn't understand and he was a stubborn old man too ignorant to help her.

"You deserve better than me."

It wasn't until the morning that he realized he had slept with her. A long and drunken night rambling on about how much he was silly, and her just as silly being with her. He had cuddled around her, their bodies close together, holding each other tight.

Oh god. He had to get up, a hungover already on the way. He had to ignore it though, moving while she was still asleep. He had to get out of here while she slept, he couldn't have her thinking he was in here, wanting to hold her, to touch her.

What in the hell was he doing...

"Wake up," He said, coming back in, knocking on the door as hard as he could, making sure she woke up.
