Chapter 8 Fatal Attraction

Chapter 08

"I gave your number to Gerson" Vera said making a face "I hope you don't get nervous, he was really worried".

"Okay" she replied with a simple smile "I'll answer later" .

The two commented on the subjects studied and the routine they experienced, until it was time to go to class, then they were enthusiastic, but soon Luana changed when she smelled the boy, she didn't see it, but she knew he was close by, her The scent transported her to the most primitive instincts she felt, it was strange, but a shiver took her, along with the pleasurable desire to kiss him and give herself entirely to him. Luana had never felt anything like this, this thought, even though it was pleasant, scared her, because she had felt pleasure and desire before, even though she was a virgin, but nothing as strong as what she felt at that moment.

"Here he comes" said Vera looking at Gerson "I think he's going to talk to you".

"I think it will go straight"

"Hello girls".

"Hi" replied Vera, "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll meet you in the living room".

"And are you better?" .

"Yes" She replied embarrassed "I feel fine, I want to apologize for the embarrassment".

"I'm sorry" He said holding her hand "if you go out with me at night, you don't need to have a drink, let's just get to know each other a little better".

"I don't know, after the embarrassment I didn't even want to see you because of embarrassment".

"Don't worry, getting high the first time I drank is normal. But if you don't want to go out with me" Warned him smiling "I'll tell everyone".

"Asking like that," she snapped, smiling, "See you at night in front of campus."

Luana entered her room directing her gaze to the place where the boy used to sit, observing the penetrating look at her making her excited, making her think she was some kind of primate, but becoming enigmatic thinking about the cause of such a strong attraction for a stranger , she thought about what would generate a mirage about the boy turning into a monster, she felt that somehow they had some kind of connection and the strangest thing was the certainty that he felt the same as why he had gone after her twice, becoming embarrassed by the feeling that she was being watched and wanted. She wondered what part of the story had been lost to not understand why she felt a connection with him, thinking he was out of his mind.

During the class, it was difficult for Luana to maintain her concentration, asking her friend to look back and see if she was being looked at, and each time the answer was "yes". Which made her nervous and thoughtful in a way of not being stopped by him, as she thought of listening to the brothers, afraid of the boy's friends.

It was not long before the end of the class when Luana left with the excuse of the bathroom and did not come back, she wanted to avoid meeting the boy and any kind of conflict, but she was willing to find out who the boy was and the people they were hanging out with and because they were so weird. In his heart, the desire to discover the missing piece of the puzzle spoke louder than his reason.

"Vera" said Luana, seeing her enter the room "What is the name of that boy, tell me about him".

"I knew that at some point you would be curious about the man who keeps flirting with you in a bizarre way. His name is Erik, I just told you what I know, they don't mix with anyone outside, they always go in groups and excel in sports".

"You said they lived in the forest, what is it like they are Indians?"

"No, but they seem to, they live there, they have the family business and they're rich, it's strange to see one of them interested in someone from outside, I've never seen it happen, we only know that they marry each other, that's all I know"

"And the last name do you know?"

"What a strange question" replied Vera answering the cell phone and talking to Marcos.

Luana realized that their conversation would take time, so she decided to get ready for the meeting, the late afternoon and early evening was hot, she wore shorts with a tank top glued to her body and a plaid blouse on top, she wore an all star and he went towards his meeting saying goodbye to Vera.

"You are punctual" Luana spoke to Gerson seeing him at the door " Congratulations ".

" You 're not late either" he said giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I want to take you somewhere".

Gerson drove out of the campus, they stopped at a spot overlooking the city and sat watching the place.

"It's very beautiful here," said Luana.

"Yes, my favorite place, when I was a child I always came here with my grandfather, he showed me the city and said that one day it would be my turn to protect it ."

"How intense, what did your grandfather die of?

"You're welcome, he's alive" One looked at the other laughing out loud "What, how long are we going to pretend we didn't see that guy turn into a monster almost three meters tall in front of us? " .

"Did you see it too?" she asked in astonishment.

" Of course!" .

"I thought," she said, getting up and standing in front of him, "that I was so drunk that I raved or imagined something like that, but if you saw it, it was real. What was that?"

"I'm going back in time a little, when I was a child my grandfather would bring me here, he told me that there were other species besides human beings, he said that our family had the mission of maintaining balance and annihilating the evil that arose. I always thought it was crazy, my grandfather saying he was a hunter of strange beings. But when I saw that I understood what my grandfather was talking about. So I looked for him the same time I left you."

"Did you tell him what you saw?"

"I had to tell, I needed to know what was a fable and what wasn't".

"What did he say?" she asked sitting next to him again, but this time getting closer to him to hear the story while her racing heart tried to believe that what she saw had been real".
