Chương 56: Tempest (V)
A soft breeze blew towards him as an intoxicating smell of fresh perfume permutated his nose. His eyes searched to see where it was coming from and his eyes rested upon a very beautiful women with an hourglass figure stepping out of a Lamborghini a couple of feet away from him.
There were a lot of beautiful women in the world, but compared to Eve she was a different type of beauty. The best words he could describe her with were an exotic high class flower with deadly poison that would leave any man or woman playing in her palms. Even he watched from the distance, a bit mesmerized by her glamour.
Everything about her screamed the epitome of female sexuality: her high cheeks, pink juicy lips, exotic face, and silky smooth golden hair flowing perfectly. She was like a living Barbie doll walking down the streets with her red high heels and red skin-tight dress.
A Hollywood star? Kiyro watched. It was highly unusual to see such a high-class lady walking around a public grocery with no escort. No man or women could strip their eyes away from her.
Kyle would have loved gossiping about her curves. He smiled. She is more his type than mine. He remembered how his twin brother and he would quietly nudge each other as they went out birdwatching. Those were the times. The laughter, the jokes, and sometimes he even missed the quarrels that they both had.
No. His hands clenched. Forget about him. He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. There were times when he was curious where he had gone; at times he caught himself looking for his brother out in the crowd. Sometimes he thought he saw him weaving in and out of the crowds, but it was always just a random stranger.
He continued to watch in the distance. A true gentleman of gentlemen, a wealthy-looking man stepped out his black jaguar car. His hair was slicked to the side heavily with gel. The street light glistened on the silver cross around his neck. The tall white man with a red-collared long sleeved shirt and black leather gloves walked towards her. His black jeans went perfectly with his clothes and his black tie hung neatly around his neck.
But something else caught Kiyro's eye. Moving behind him was some kind of blurry blob of human figure phased in and out.
What the hell is that? Kiyro thought as he rubbed his eyes a couple of times to clear his sight.
Once again as he stared in the man's direction the blob changed shapes and turned into a humanoid figure. It was like seeing a very thin translucent silhouette. His eyes widened and his skin crawled with goosebumps.
No way. I hope it's not what I think it is. Kiyro felt a shiver run down his back. It's all in my head. All in my head.
The humanoid figure turned its head slowly towards him. Kiyro knew whatever it was knew he was looking at it, even if he could not see its face. Damn. No word could describe his fear and unease. Whatever it was made him want to flee. He knew he was not insane or drug-addled. His mind raced with alternatives to what he was seeing.
Nothing. He couldn't find anything wrong with himself. What he was seeing was not due to lack of sleep or an illusion. It was there. He gulped.
It was like his childhood days all over again, but what he saw now was less vivid than what he saw as a child. He did not understand what it was, but knew that it could do harm. Kiyro moved around uncomfortably on the bench. His legs shook, his arm felt weak, and his mind raced with a dozen questions and past memories.
The gray humanoid blob began to slink forward, phasing in and out, slowly creeping towards him in a staggering motion. Each time it appeared, its body became distorted in odd angles. A jagged stray wind blew towards him, bringing with it a foul smell like sulfur that invaded his nose. His breathing became stifled with unease and his heart started to beat loudly.
Whatever it was, it was getting too close for comfort. Kiyro's eyes widened in fear and he began to slowly stand up. In a blink of an eye, the blob appeared in front of his face. He sat motionless from fear.
"Meow!"
In a wisp of smoke the blob dissolved and disappeared. Kiyro looked down in surprise and gently patted Tempest on the head.
"Thanks, buddy." He gingerly smiled. He glanced back up and saw nothing. Whatever was there had vanished without a trace.
"Angel!" The exquisitely beautiful lady ran towards the man, waving her hands. Her smile glowed with joy.
"Angel!" She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on his cheeks. "I'm so glad to see you." She smiled radiantly.
"Rose. How great to see you." Angel cooed and he hugged back with just as much force that she gave. "It's great to see your beautiful smile."
"Hehe. Oh, Angel. You always say the sweetest things." Her fingers lightly caressed his chest.
"Darling. You know me too well." He kissed her cheeks and lightly pulled her in. She giggled with glee.
Kiyro tried his best not to listen in on the conversation, but he couldn't help it. They were obnoxiously loud and were drawing attention to themselves.
"I'm surprised you would want to meet here of all places. I thought it would be at one of those café's that you like to go too."
Rose shook her head. "No, today I was nearby and did not have time to sit and idly chat for too long. I thought this would cut back on some time."
"Ah I see, so how was your day, darling? How was your last case defending your client? Did you win?"
Her face lightened up once again like a child that was given a candy.
"It was so easy. I could have done it with my eyes closed." She flicked her hair. "They don't compare to what I can provide." She winked and deviously grinned from ear to ear.
"Heh. That is so true." He smiled back with a devious grin.
"In total I think I made a million from the case. It's not much. I've made better." She scoffed, her head held up high like a royalty.
"I see. Did you enjoy your last event?"
Rose's smile fell into a frown.
"No. Blackie was mean to me. He left me and instead sent me three inadequate roaches that couldn't perform right. It took a couple of tries to teach them and get rid of them completely. It wasn't such a big deal." She stood proudly with her hands on her hips.
"Blackie did all that? Well, he is the type to do that. A very predictable behavior pattern he has. You must have rubbed him the wrong way, didn't you?"
"No~" she nonchalantly replied with a smile. "I only told him I love him."
Angel burst out laughing. "You said that? I hardly believe that. You know how he hates hearing that word come out of your mouth especially."
"What are you talking about? We have a special relationship. A give and take."
"Are you sure, darling? It's not take and take?" he remarked coyly and winked. "No matter; I've got to meet him. Send me a message when you get in touch with him, will you, darling?"
"I sure will. I need to get back with him as well." She pouted with her lips perked, making her lips redder by the second. Her hands were set against her hips, making her look like a child.
"Kuhaha." He burst out laughing. "Sweetheart, you have the most beautiful pouting face. I'll be heading out. I've got to go start my new masterpiece soon. I'll be seeing you around, darling." He picked her up and gave her a deep kiss. She replied back just as intensely and wrapped her hands around his shoulder.
"Mmmm. You've always had the best kisses."
He chuckled and pecked her on her cheek. "You know I'm good." He winked back flirtatiously and turned back towards his car.
"See you around, Angel," she replied sweetly. "I'll drop by once in a while."
"I know you will, darling. I know you will."
His tires squealed as he raced out of the parking lot and drove off into the distance.
Kiyro watched stunned at the scene that lay before him. It felt like a tornado had come through and passed by.
What just happened? He quietly patted Tempest, who purred under each touch.
Tempest meowed loudly, asking to be petted on his head more.
"Yeah. Yeah. Buddy." He patted him lightly.
Off in the distance Rose walked back and forth on the phone posing like a supermodel at a runway show. If he didn't know better, it was like every movement was meant to be on the latest top hottest model magazines. He noticed several men eagerly watching her, waiting for a perfect opportunity to come up to her. Kiyro shook his head and rolled his eyes. Whatever was around those two strangers left a bad aftertaste. The feeling was still there, but he didn't know where it was. Just as he was about to turn his head away, both their eyes interlocked.
"Shit," he silently mouthed.
Rose honed in like a swooping hawk and walked towards him with confident steps. She stashed her phone into her purse hanging loosely by her side, and her hips swinging side to side accentuated her curves.
Each step she took his hands stroked Tempest a bit stronger. Looking back and forth, he tried to ignore her as best he could, but she arrived in front of him.
A strong smell of intoxicating perfume filled his nose. Tempest hissed with unease.
"Hello, sweetheart," she purred with the most intoxicating voice he had ever heard. He knew he could not escape.
