The Daemon’s Eyes
CHAPTER 38

22nd April, 2027. Durindo,

It had been nearly a month since Sabrina had lost her memories, and she wasn't even showing signs of regaining them.

Maybe she was never going to remember?

Richard grinned at the thought, the older Sabrina seemed a bit suspicious of him once in a while. But this one took everything he said hook, line and sinker! Dumb couldn't begin to....

"I'm already dressed!"

His eyes widen as he turns to look at her. The Sabrina he'd formerly known would never wear something so....

"What?", She inclines her head a bit sideways.

"What are you wearing?!", He slaps his forehead.

"Umm... It was in my wardrobe...", Her cheeks flush up with embarrassment.

She was typically wearing a mini skirt with a long sleeved shirt buttoned only halfway up... Exposing her cleavage...

"You look like you're going back to highschool...", He turns to leave in attempt to avoid the sight in front of him. His mind wasn't as composed as he'd wanted it to be... Well... He was a man anyway... Somethings just had to affect him!

"Please put on something decent before I get back...."

She sighs in disappointment before climbing back up the stairs. "Yes.. sir..."

He wanted to turn back even if it was just for a moment. To gaze at her once more in that get up.... But... Self-control was one of his many perks.

The walk to her room seemed to take forever... But she'd wanted to spend more time with him at least...

"Stupid!", She slams her door before movies and falling face flat on her bed. "What am I even wearing!"... She sighs. Normally she'd have never worn something so exposing even when she was young... Till Logan came along that is.... "What's wrong Sabrina?", Emma, the Daemon of envy asked. She'd made contact with Sabrina a few days ago...

"Don't try too hard, you know", she smiles lying on her back in the air. She had light blonde hair packed in two ponytails, green eyes with freckled cheeks... And if she was to be a person, Sabrina would probably say she was thirteen. "Does it seem that way?", She flips herself over to lie on her back.

"I'm a bit jealous... You have great looks and a great body....", Emma stretches both hands sideways.

"Awwn.... you're still growing you know. Right?"

She sighs. "I dunno... I've been around for quite some centuries... But I look just thirteen..."

Sabrina giggles a little.

"Do you want him to notice you..?"

"What?!", She quickly sits up. "No way!", She shook her head vigorously.

Emma giggles a little. "Don't be such a kid. I'm like your big sis..."

They both laugh.

"Don't make me talk so loudly...", She whispers to Emma who nods in agreement.

The day Emma had appeared, she'd asked about Logan but the girl had said she knew nothing of him...

She even said she'd only ever met one of her kind many years ago...

Where the hell could Logan have disappeared to?!

EVENING...

After some thinking, Richard had decided not to allow Sabrina remain working for him. Since it wasn't safe for either of them....

He was going to tell her once he saw her....

After some minutes, the car slowly reached a hault. The reason his house was so far from others of his class was because he'd inherited the house of his adopted parents who were somewhat outcasts in the high society. Slowly stepping out, he takes some seconds to gaze at his house. It was quite a beauty....

"Welcome back sir", Hannah greets him from the door.

He nods with a light smile. "Where's Sabrina?"

"Well... she's out back..."

"Hmmph...". He heads for the kitchen which led to the back.

"Can't believe you can hold you're breathe for that long!", Emma squeals.

"Hhhh!", Sabrina raises her head up in attempt to catch her breathe. She'd decided to take an evening dip in the pool after much convincing from Emma.

Recalling a swimsuit advert she'd once watched, she tries to mimick a lady. Slowly flinging her hair around then diving back in...

Hearing the door creak open a bit...

"I... Uhhm...", She hurriedly tries to get out of the pool on noticing Richard.

Unknown to her, he'd been watching from the glass for a while..

"It's not a problem..", he waves it off. He'd have preferred for her to get back in so he won't see her body so clearly...

Sadly, she'd already sat at the edge...

Watching her in her light blue bikini made his heart beat a little faster. Her body was..... Amazing....

Her long legs... How she brushed her wet hair away from her cleavage...

Shaking his head a bit. "I wanted to talk to you..."

"Really?", She grabs a towel beside her and wraps her upper body.

He approaches her, stopping some distance away. "I've decided, you don't need to do that secretary job till everything were doing is over... Since it's not safe for either of us". He catches his breathe. "You could be kidnapped again by an enemy of mine... Or worse even discovered...."

She cups her chin. "Worse..?"

He frowns slightly. "It's not a suggestion you know. It's an order.... As your boss". He turns to leave. It was quite annoying getting arouse by little things from her.... It hardly ever happened. "There's an inbuilt heater....", He mumbles.

"What..?... Where?!"

He sighs before turning to point out. "You're sitting on it.."

She shuffles to the side. There were a lot of buttons... "Hmmm... It's probably the red...", She pushes it.

"No!", He rushes to her side. "That's the soap option.."

She deeps both her hand into the pool that was starting to bubble. "That's true..", before placing both hands beside her laps.

Due to the current soapiness of hands, she slips a bit on the tiled floor before she could balance well.

Luckily, Richard manages to catch her by the waist. Another one of those... 'Deja vu' scenerios...

It was all too familiar....

He sighs. "Be careful..."

She meets his eyes before her lips curve up in a light smile.

It was just for a few seconds.... but he could have sworn he was lost in those eyes...

He pulls her in without warning... Kissing her....

Her eyes widen a bit... Before she opens her mouth to him, entwining her fingers in his hair....

He wasn't sure what he'd been doing until a few moments later. "Umm...". He roughly breaks the kiss, slowly getting up....

He tried to act in his normal calm matter like nothing had happened... Like his body hadn't moved by itself...

"What happened to your glasses?", He asks without turning to face her.

"I... uhhm... Lost them...", She manages between the tension. The kiss had only been for a few seconds... But....

He heads towards the door without another word. He was sure there was something she wasn't telling him about her eyes! It was like he'd been under some kind of enchantment!
