The Wolf In Me

The lady let me in and excused herself to grab a shirt from her room. She came out with a long shirt that covered also her waist. We stared at each other for a moment. Her blue eyes gazed at my whole body.

"Who are you? How did you end up here?" She asked still twitching her eyes up and down my body.

"I am a journalist and a photographer and I was sent here to make up a good story out of this photo but it was getting dark and I thought I should try finding a place to stay for the night. Unfortunately, there is no motel around so I see the first house and knocked to check if anyone could help me find a motel or something but he shut the door in my face. I got into my car and drove again in the hopes of finding another house or something I can rest my eyes. I ended up here."

She remained quiet for a moment and then looked at the picture I had passed out to her to see. As I was passing the photo our fingers touched, noticing that something has triggered the both of us to feel breathless. She snatched the photo in shock looking away, trying to catch her breathing back.

"There are things out here you better not see or worse, get close to."

She handed me the picture back and scoffed as she sat down on the sofa.

"What do you mean? Someone else told me not to come here."

I cleared my throat feeling like something was blocking my airways. Her beauty is beyond compare and something in my chest was pulling hard, almost wanting to release itself.

She looked at her nails and clicked her tongue.

"You can rest here and leave in the morning if you like. Do not go out when it is dark because it is more dangerous at night."

She stared quietly, waiting for me to say something.

I looked straight into her eyes for a while trying to see if I manage to get a glimpse of emotion from her after showing her the picture.

"So the picture... anything you want to explain? I know that you know what that is."

She shook her head and looked down at her shirt and pretended to straighten the few curves the shirt had on her belly.

"Why though? No one wants to tell me. Tomorrow I will go and check it out then. I need to know as it is my job to do so."

She shrugs her shoulders and wished me luck. Then she stood up from the sofa and showed me the empty bedroom.

"Good night Mr....."

I smiled as she offered me her hand which I shook lightly. As soon as my fingers brushed over hers I felt tingling all over my body again which awkwardly made me let go off her hand in a fast manner. She also had a surprised expression, but I could tell she tried not to show it too much.

"Luka," I said, as I continued smiling at her.

My body was still recovering from that unusual feeling.

"Mei," she added.

"Pleased to meet you," we said together.
