"Weeeell, at least it wasn’t a skeleton in your closet right? Haha, get it? Because I’m technically dead so you know skeleton? Yeah? No? Okay I’m done.” He scrunched his nose at her prediction.”Oh please, the closet is one thing, but I would never ever fall asleep in a " Actually there was that one time… " ahem, well, I’m sure it won’t happen anytime soon.”
"Of course I’d look magnificent. The most beautiful cockatoo ever, before I burst into a glory of flames of course, but nevertheless the most beautiful of all the cockatoos to ever exist! I couldn’t help it, they were just there! Maybe if you chained them up and put them in a safe or something, I would’ve felt less assuaged to take a peek. It’s not like there was anything weird in there anyway…”
"Ah, well you know…" The blond rubbed his neck, and would’ve probably been sweating had he been living. "Actually, I was just a tiny bit curious about that guy in there who had a shocking resemblence to you. Ahh, well I’m sure such a gorgeous wolf won’t need these gorgeous fingers. You can just bask in the glory of your finely manicured nails.”
"We were young. I was a fool, of course. To think that I would be allowed to embrace the normality that I so desired. They warned me, but I didn't listen. I was too damn stubborn for my own good. Determined to rebel against the serious warnings that everyone around me continuously threw my way. Perhaps if I had listened, he would still be alive. I had warned him though. He was simply just as headstrong as I was at that age. Teo Benivieni was his name. He had a look that with just one gaze could have your precious little panties twisting in a bunch when you saw it. Mmmmmmmm. Yes. I remember it."
A faint smile played at her lips as she spoke of the fond memory. "He was exciting. I couldn't get enough of him. The way that one curl always seemed to fall against his forehead and he coolly pretended like it didn't bother him, when we both knew that it did. I used to love the smell of him. Fresh leather with a hint of bourbon. Which he denied. Though I on several occasion caught him indulging in the liquor, which he claimed was for his father, but I was aware that his father's preference was more on the vodka side." A weak laugh erupted from her throat as her lips gradually turned down at the corners.
"He was every girl's dream and trust me when I say that they practically threw themselves at his feet, but he only had eyes for me, and I never understood why. Maybe it was because I was dangerous, because I had a wild streak, or even because he saw something in me that no one else could see. The human part of me. He saw the real me. The one buried under the hot tangle of madness. I was a monster, but he loved me anyways. In the end, it was his inability to see a future without me in it that led to his demise. A demise met by my hand. I should have walked away. I should have listened."
Bitterness taints the loving words. "He would have been my endgame. I may have never been able to give him the things that he may have wanted, such as a family, a normal life, but I would have given him love, and that would have been enough. We would have had great times, ones that I could never have with another man. We would have went through many tough times, it would have pulled us under, but we would have always resurfaced. We always came back. No matter what it was. We bounced back. Until that night. That godforsaken night. We would have been so happy."
