Chapter 5

The day after the picnic, we were sadly back to round one. Mr. Sadist was back to his ways. And my search didn't go so well. I never give up. I had no clue where she is. I am starting to think that she is maybe dead, but I should have a positive mindset.

I am in the kitchen making breakfast for myself. I am getting a little comfortable here. I turn on the stove before taking some instant noodles from the drawer. I put water in a pot and wait for it to boil then add the noodles. I hear some foot steps from behind. I turn around only to see Mason coming into the kitchen. He looked tired and irritated for some reason.

"Move."

He pushed me out of the way. He opened my pot and then turned to stare at me. He didn't say a word and only grabbed a knife and began cutting vegetables. He took some olive oil and poured a few drops in a pan. I watched as he made the noodles. I was hit by its aroma when he dished it into two ceramic plates which he shared with me.

I could feel saliva accumulating in my mouth when he started eating.

"Eat up. Do you want me to feed you?" he snapped with a cold glare. I started eating and the food was delicious, he was a qualified chef.

He ate as if he was all alone in the world as if he was lost. It's funny that I can't even look into his eyes. I finished eating and washed the dishes. I waited for him to finish before going to my room.

When I entered my comfy little space, I took a sit in front of the television preparing to watch an anime. I got so entranced when I see Mizuki and Riku kissing. I wonder when I will get my first kiss. I want it to be special with someone who isn't a player or anyone like Mr. Sadist.

For once what he did makes me want to call him by his name.

I wonder if I can still dream to love. It is confusing that when I make contact with Mason, I feel tingles all over my body. It's as if something is attracting me towards him. Even though he is a player, I can see that everyone has respect for him. It has been a while since I have seen Evelyn. Yeah that's her name, Rebecca ended up bringing her up on one of our dates. Talking about her, she hates me to the guts as if I took her man. Even if I feel these tingles, I have no intention to get close to him. I am really sure he doesn't either and for that I am truly grateful.

I continue to watch the movie, all my attention invested in it. Once again, I don't notice him coming in. He sat beside me and stared at the movie playing on Tv. I could feel the tingles intensifying when his hand grazed my own when we reached for the Tv remote at the same time so to play another anime.

I moved away from him as I tried not to look up at his face. Mason took the remote and played 'Naruto'. It hasn't come to my mind that we are both in my room and anything can happen. After all we are of opposite sex.

"What are you doing here?" I asked feeling really nervous for no reason. What was happening to me? I decided to look down as I waited for his answer.

"Am I not allowed to wander around in my house?" he asked instead still paying attention to the movie.

"Excuse me but this is my room and you have no right to enter without asking for my permission first." I interjected wanting him to know that he can not use his power on me.

"Then little one can you explain why you were brought to the dungeons in the first place."

"What? How should I know? It is you who brought me there, I didn't even commit any crime."

"About that it brings out you are my prisoner you have no right to tell me where I am supposed to be." He finished banging his hand on the table. Ugh he is being so difficult.

I shivered, as I felt my body shaking feeling small all of a sudden. Am I his doll which he could vent all his anger and frustrations on.

"I..I am human too treat me like one. Since the first day we met you have been acting nothing but a lunatic. I hate you. I truly do. How can you be so mean. Don't you have feelings. I feel sorry for the girl who will end up with you." I finished feeling too good to let it all out.

He had gone too far.

As if everything wasn't enough, he got up and started walking slowly towards me. He took a few steps appearing as if he wanted to intimidate me. When he took each step forward he earned a step back from me. He only stayed still when he had managed to corner me to a wall. When I tried to escape from his grasp, he put both of his hands on either sides of my shoulders trapping me in a stand still. I still tried moving and used the little power I had to push him away but to no avail, he was too strong.

He let go of his right hand and brought it up to my face. Fear took over me for I thought he was going to hit me. My eyes closed waiting for the pain. I only opened them when I felt a hand on my chin. His warm fingers lightly brushed on my sensitive skin. A shiver ran down my spine, my heart started pounding non-stop.

He gently guided my face to his as he put a light kiss on my forehead. I felt the shivers intensify, also my heart threatening to come out. He leaned in bit by bit and captured my lips with his own. The kiss was filled with warmth. It appeared as if his lips were meant to be connected with mine.

It was a moment after when he broke the kiss, then I realised what he had down. He had stolen my first kiss. He of all the people. I felt disgusted that I had liked it. For goodness sake how many girls had he kissed the same way he had done. I raised my palm to slap his face but got blocked as he grabbed it tightly and leaned in for another kiss. This time it was brief and left a sweet taste.

I felt warm tears flowing on my cheeks. Why was he doing this to me? Didn't he hate me so much? Why?

Mason watched me as I cried. How bad was he going to be? His face turned cold before he let go of my hand. He turned and exited the room after closing the door with a loud bang.

I wish I had never met him. I hate him so much. I touched my lips that were still limp from the kiss. I could still feel the warmth that he had left there. Why was he so bipolar? One minute, he is angry, he helps me to make breakfast and then another minute he is shouting at me and forcefully kissing me. He doesn't even respect me or any other woman. He is truly a sadist.

I hear the door creaking open. I look to see who is coming.

"Dear! why are you crying. What happened?" I could vividly see Rebecca through my blurry eyes. I wanted to cry more. I attempt to wipe the tears off as I reply, "Nothing serious don't worry."

But inside I felt pain. How can he be so ruthless. I had kept myself away from boys so to keep my first kiss for my special someone. He just came from nowhere and snatched it just like that.

"Charlotte are you sure you okay? Did something happen with Mason?" I was surprised how did she know he was here. We were the only ones in the room. Maybe she had guessed because he is the only one who brings hell to my life.

"Nothing is wrong." I lied not wanting to get in between the two. After all they were mother and son who loved each other dearly. Who was I to ruin their relationship just because of a kiss?

"I know you aren't okay. What did he do?" I debated if I should tell her the truth or not. After all, it was just a kiss even though he did it a second time. But it still hurts that I had to experience it that way. I wanted it to be special with someone I wholeheartedly admire and love endlessly. Someone who makes my heart beat uncontrollably.

And I am really sure that guy isn't Mason. I have thought of possibilities but truly the heart doesn't beat the mind or does it.
