EIGHT

The sound of the doorbell was as common as my daily showers now. Every night around the same time, I could expect it. I could expect her. Yet, and still, I refused to see her pretty face or invite her sacred energy into my space. It was addictive. She was addictive. And, falling victim to her drug left me with guilt that outweighed the grief. I never imagined it was possible.

Two weeks felt like two eternities plus two months. That was how long I’d gone without interacting with Aeir, not even to say hello. We’d both developed a routine and respected each other’s space in the process. When out in the yard, she remained inside. It wasn’t until she knew my day had ended that she made her way through the garden, to the chicken coop, or into the fields for the ingredients she’d need for meals.

She was an amazing cook. There hadn’t been one plate she’d sat on the porch in those two weeks that I hadn’t devoured. Aeir was keeping my stomach full and my dick hard. Even the thought of her made it swell in my pants. I hated her for that and I hated myself for reacting that way.

I turned up the bottle to finish the liquor that was left. It was my second bottle of the week and I was ready to crack open the next one. Drinking until I couldn’t think was the only way to cope with it all.

Five minutes passed before I stood to my feet. Instantly, I fell back onto the rocker. The room spun viciously until I closed my eyes. Before I was able to reopen them, Anna appeared. Her golden skin and perfect figure left me with a smile.

“Anna,” I called out to her, reaching for her hand.

“I’m here, Malachi,” she responded, taking my hand into hers before bringing it up to her lips.

“I can’t feel you,” I admitted, feeling weighted and pathetic.

“You will when you let me in.”

“But you’re not here.”

“I am. I’ll never abandon you, love. Just don’t abandon yourself. Snap out of it, Malachi. Wake up, my love.”

She faded into black. I opened my eyes to find a still room. This time, after I stood, I managed to make my way to the door where dinner was waiting. I opened the door and grabbed the plate from the small table she’d moved near the door. Beside it was freshly squeezed lemonade, a small note, and a clear container that held a piece of chocolate cake.

Once back inside, I set everything on the table and read one of the many notes she’d left along with the food. Each time, they were simple and straight to the point. This time, her note was notably longer, forcing me into my seat as I began to read it.

Dear Malachi,

I miss you deeply. The feeling of your skin against mine, your hands on my body, your presence in my world. I miss you, wholly. Don’t stay gone too long.

I’ve been dreaming of you.
