A Race to Melt Hearts

I clenched my fists, so she was one of those people who destroyed them. She escaped successfully, but the danger that waits is inevitable. I need to start moving now.

"So I guess you now know a portion of me" A voice as cold as ice made me shiver, I immediately look towards the door where a woman dressed in black stood with hands crossed to her chest.

"Why are you out of the bed?" I asked

"Cut this crap out; now let's not filter our words with care or sweetness. It's suffocating. You now know a part of me, so I would no longer need to hide myself in a façade that doesn't suit me." The girl I met before was stripped out from her masks, and all that's left is a girl whose emotions cease to exist. Her smiling face turned into a stoic one. It's even harder to believe that she was that girl.

"Who says I need to mask things?" I closed my laptop and got out of my chair. Then I walked towards her.

"I don't need you. I don't need your help—"

"That's not up to you! Your brother—"

"You don't need to live under my brother's wishes! He already died a long time ago! You should have buried everything with him!"

I grabbed her neck and smashed my lips with hers. She tried pushing me off, but I tugged her waist tighter. This is my woman, and she is bestowed to me for a long time, might as well stake a claim that she is mine.

I broke the kiss when we were almost out of breath. She looked me in the eyes. Then I leaned my forehead against hers and held her even closer to me.

"Don't say those words again Diana, you belong to me as I to you."

I stood straight and let her head lay against the crook of my neck. I reached to kiss her forehead.

"Prove it… prove it Jester…"

"You're still injured"

"I need you right now…"

I grabbed her gently. Then I carried her and let her snake her legs on my waist. I kissed her while I walked us to her bedroom back again.
