Chapter 243 - Quiet Tears (1/2)

”So you didn't forget about me?”

”No... But... For the record. Why are you trying to shoot me?” Laz was a mixed of stunned, happy, surprised and slightly scared. Laz could stare the devil in the face, get hit by lightning, shot from a high powered rifle out of a helicopter and not blink. But knowing that one of his lovers was shooting at him was enough to make him just a bit timid.

”Why? WHY? You ask me WHY?”

”Uh... no...?”

”I come all the way out here just to see you and here you are, messing around with another girl and you have the balls to ask me why? What? You already forgot about me and Kennedy when you decided to get your d.i.c.k wet with Leona and Ruby, but even that wasn't enough for you?” Malene had jumped down from the fence she was standing on, still pointing the silenced hand gun at Laz. It seemed like he just needed to utter the wrong word and she would be taking shots at him again.

”It's not what you think... we aren't like that...” Laz tried his best to explain. As far as he was concerned, Julia was nothing more than a temporary ally. So Laz could only do his best to explain this to his gun wielding lover who he hadn't seen in a few years now.

The response that he got was two more shots aimed at his feet. Then the gun moved up slowly and although Laz wasn't one hundred percent sure, he felt like it was being aimed at his little man.

”Sigh...” Laz decided that right now, words wouldn't be the best answer. As such, he moved forward to where Malene was standing next to Aqua and just started walking slowly while looking her in the eyes.

Seeing him come forward, Malene hesitated just a bit, wanting to pull the trigger but choosing not to. She knew that this weapon wouldn't be able to hurt him, but she wanted him to know that she was pissed, concerned, excited and a whole range of other emotions. But mostly, when she looked deep enough, she was scared.

If anyone who knew what she had been up to for the past year and a half heard someone say that the crazed spirit girl was scared, they would have laughed that person out of the room. Malene had gotten one hell of a reputation, just like the other members of the Blood Moon. Blood Moon unofficially became the silent leader of the infected. Anyone in the know, knew not only of Blood Moon, but of the four demons of the Blood Moon. They worked hand in hand with Black Rose which was now like an arm of Blood Moon, handling things that would get messy.

None of this was publicly known though.

The reason why Malene was scared was all due to this man walking towards her right now. She was scared that after all this time, the man in her heart no longer had her in his heart. Perhaps he just didn't care as much as she did. They had been so young when they were together before. And no matter what she did, she could not forget about him.

So when she was the first one randomly picked to come see him, she was very, very scared. And now that this moment was right before her, her heart pounded like never before.

The gun in her hand waved from side to side, incredibly unsteady. Before she could decide what to do, Laz was already in front of her.

Before she could react, his arms were already around her.

Feeling those strong arms and his warm c.h.e.s.t pressed against her head, she struggled for a few moments before her knees gave way and her body became weak. The only thing holding her upright was Laz. The tears started to drop from her eyes as soon as her face was buried in his c.h.e.s.t.

Laz knew that he had never really done well by her, not by a long shot. Over the course of the years, the whole 'first time' thing faded in the back ground, but you never really forgot it. Now that they had met again after all this time, Laz knew that he cared deeply for her, still and always.

It wasn't like Laz was cold hearted and just used women, or at least, he didn't think so. He cared about every one of them deeply. But fate was a fickle and easily offended thing, making him have to separate from people he cared about again and again.

You couldn't stop the onslaught of time.

Maybe Laz didn't love Malene when they had first gotten together, but time also has a funny way of distorting thoughts. After seeing her again, Laz felt connected to her in a way that he couldn't understand. Maybe she would want to be rid of him now, but he knew that he would never forget her.

”You big f.u.c.k.i.n.g jerk.” Malene's sobs were barely audible. At some point, Aqua had vanished, knowing that the mistress needed her time with this man.

Malene had grown up quite a bit since the last time Laz had seen her. She stood at almost five foot five and had filled out quite a bit in her c.h.e.s.t too. It wasn't as drastic as Kennedy or Leona, but it was basically on par with Ruby. Or at least, with how Ruby was a year and a half ago.

On top of that, her entire body felt energized, toned and yet still gentle to the touch. She had grown up to be a head turning beauty.
