Bianca said, taking out a stick from the cigarette box.She took off the sweat shirt that had been on her exposing the black wolf tattoo on her left upper arm."Did she see that?" I nudged at the tattoo."No, she didn't…I am not sure she would have paid much attention to it either, if she did."

RAINI The days blurred slowly and gave way to the night, I was still getting used to the serenity this new place I found myself that looked to be almost perfect.There appeared to be something quite perfect about this place that I couldn't place my fingers about from the concrete ceilings. Concrete walls. Concrete floors—That were engraved with what looked to be the head of a wolf to other things around the house.He took time helping with the stitches and running his fingers along my back as he made to ease the pain that had accumulated over the time that I had been there.Zavier popped two tablets into my hands asking to have adequate rest before walking out of the door again.When he was gone, I walked to the phone at the bedside and thought about ringing River.

RAINIAsk me again in a week…Realizing it now, that word felt like I was keeping a man as prominent and influential as Zavier Wood on the hook—Who does that?The click of my heels made a squeaky noise as I made way to my room with my mind heavy with the thought of how the evening had gone…Not so bad actually.My heartbeat and I replayed each moment in deep reverberation against my deep in my mind and soul—against my rib cages, it was not like I cared too much about the most recent incident it just left me a bit unsettled.It had only been days since I arrived here and as I was standing in Front of the mirror wiping my make-up off my mind was filled with the same thing as each night.

I heard him say over the phone as he made his way toward where I was with a smile on his face."Hey, been looking around for you all day" He says as he approaches where I was standing.A part of me wanted to just leave the place I was, too bad I already lost the chance to do that.He was so close now, so close that his scent was everywhere leaving me intoxicated by his presence."Why do I have this feeling you are avoiding me?"
