"so what did you learn?". My voice is horse as i ask the question, my hands rigged and bloody, my breath battered from the constant beating. I listen quietly, putting down the belt and cleaning my hands with the towel that looked like it couldn't hold any more blood than it already has. "Meeka is yours and..and i can never dare to get close to her". The voice behind me is scared, just as breathless as mine, worse actually. "took you long enough, victor" I say taking a sip of water. 2 hours was all it took to get the shit into his head that Meeka is mine and he cannot get close to her. 2 hours to ensure that all risks are out of paths, her only attraction, only distraction, only goal has to be me. "now, get lost before i change my mind". I don't need to look behind to know he ran away. That's all he could really do. I've seen the way he looks at her, he likes her and she doesn't know it, but. It wouldn't take her too long to realize it. so, it's better he's out of our way and my already barren path that i have to cross bare feet is empty for now.
Locking the room where i just did the nasty tasks, i get out and ask Noah to get the bloodied room cleaned up. My feet were slow and steady, though still held purpose as i made my way to the balcony. It was about 4pm right now, too hot for Meeka to be outside and definitely not safe as it was the time the players, people i like to call stary roam along the street to get hands on whatever girl they could find and just as i was thinking the cub couldn't get herself in any more trouble, i spot her in the swings area playing with some sand. I had a meeting so i couldn't go myself though i didn't really mind leaving a billion dollar deal for her yet i knew she was perfectly fine alone though just for incase i send a few men to bat an eye around for her.

It had been 15 mins since I've sent her the text to come and meet me on the terrace, she always took soo long to come see me and i knew the reason to why. She was probably jumping on the bed while getting ready out of excitement. I've seen that before when i sent a drone to her room but i don't mind waiting for her. this patience was something i hold only for her and i promise it wont be for anyone else anytime soon.
I hear the tiny steps of the only person i craved to see right now and a smile reached my cheeks but i hide it just like i always do though i knew she always saw behind it. "hallooo" She said childishly and surprisingly for myself i said "hillooo" in the cutest voice, something i haven't myself done before to anyone. "you know, something soooo weird happened today, victor completely ignored me, i tried to talk to him but he ran off. He even hired men to keep me away from him. i mean i did kick his ass yesterday but i didn't think he'll be that scared off". I let out a laugh, letting myself free. "i guess Ur not so weak for a little girl after all" I wasn't going to tell her i told victor to leave, forced him to leave because i needed her to love me not hate me more than she already claims she does. "that so i am but still, isn't it weird he's avoiding me out of the blue" she says looking towards the night sky, there was no moon today but a lot of stars as if white paint was sprinkled over a black canvas. I sigh if not so in deep thought before muttering "maybe he realised he could never have you" Meeka looked at me in confusion not quiet understanding what i meant and honestly for now, i preferred it like that "what was that?" I look at the sky too, avoiding her question. I look at her one last time before quietly, silently, shyly ask her "Meeka, what am i too you?"

"what am i too you?" the question was roaming in my mind all day. What is Aaril too me. Wasn't he my enemy? my rival? Wasn't i supposed to hate him? and why do i not? that single question raised a million more in my head. I didn't realise the water was leaking until it flowed down the counter top to the bottom of my feet and only then did i snap out of my thoughts to shut the tap. "shit" the words slip off instinctively and i take a sip from the overflowing bottle to empty off the top enough to shut the lid. My little feet make their way to the balcony to grab a cloth to put over the little pool of water i just spilled. Though i pause, pause when i spot the outrageous stars of the night sky once again and the questions fill my mind all over again. "what am i too you?" what is he really to me? he's not my crush, not my enemy, not someone i like, not someone i hate. Is he just a friend? if he is then am i betraying my group? betraying Arzhel? betraying my own promises?" "I mean he's kind to me, he protects me, he's saved me more than once now. Is it not fair that i give him a chance and talk to him freely?" as much as i said it i knew i still didn't have the courage to go and say that to Arzhel's face. He is still leads the group, even when they say i so but we all listen to him and i cant just betray him or I'll get punished. "Is keeping our talks better off as a secret than something i can freely tell to anyone? does being fair to Aaril mean I'm being unfair to Arzhel and does being fair to Arzhel mean I'm being unfair to Aaril?"
Sometimes what we think is right is not what is actually right. What we want to do and what we are supposed to do are just as different as what our brain says and what our heart wants. The Heart is just as reckless as the brain is logical but Sometimes recklessness works over logic leading to an eventual path, an eventual right path. It may hurt, it may be hard. but it's only what is right
