Chapter Six

Rena

Not shortly after I down a drink with Jari-ri, a loud slam penetrates my ears. I whip my head towards the painful echo. Butterflies pool in my stomach. I can’t tear my eyes away, as Aarvik leaves the back room where he had only entered just a few moments before, the other woman trailing behind him, rushing out of sight with a disgruntled look on her face. Huh? Maybe I misjudged? Is it bad that I can’t help but feel glee?

My eyes follow his carefully thought out movements, but when he chooses to pass his previous seat and head in the direction of the exit, my legs are instantly off the bar stool and I take a few steps towards him.

“Wait. Aarvik?” The words fly from my mouth, almost silent in the noise that surrounds me, but alas don’t go completely unnoticed.

He pauses, if only for a second, before his masculine form turns with slow increments until his attention is solely focused on me. My stomach burns with nausea, warmth flowing towards my throat as anxiety threatens to take hold. I hadn’t quite thought this through, nor was I ready to proceed with what may come next. I guess you could say I was like a rodent caught in the headlights. That’s me, right now. I swallow a hard lump while I gaze over his body. Because why the hell not? His attention is mine for the taking since I so desperately called out to him. If only I could see his masked face, the taunting hood a bane of my dreams.

It doesn’t escape my notice that his hood appears to slightly tilt as if he’s regarding me in the same manner. It’s short lived. For then he looks away as if the moment never even happened at all.

The long black robe swishes through the air, curling as he gives me his back. No! Not this time. Not after all these months waiting and wondering if I’d ever see him again or what the heck I'd do if I did, or even why this all mattered to begin with. I have no clue as to what this is or why I feel the need to be close to this massive and masked alien, but I simply refuse to lose what is probably my last shot to find out.

“Aarvik. Don’t leave, not yet.” The desperation of my voice is as cold as an icy winter, threatening to freeze all who doesn’t heed the warning.

He stops at the entrance of the bar with the doorway swung wide open allowing blackened volcanic ash to breeze its way inside. It’s almost magical how the mixture of rock and mineral particles dance in the air around him as if worshiping his presence before landing silently at his feet.

My heart hammers in my chest, almost to the point where its uncomfortable. Tears threaten to break free from my eyes. The sentiment, although painful yet beautiful, is something I desperately needed. Just above his head are intricate decorations of circular vines, blooming with purplish-red berries.
