Python

C H A P T E R 16

"Have you even eaten today ?" I asked as I got off the counter. Me and Kenny have been seating here since he opened up to me an hour ago. I had to reassure him that him not being able to save his parents is not his fault like he thought it was.

We exchanged words here and there. But other than that, it was just comfortable silence. I'm not good at this comforting people thing, I've never had to do it before.

My brother, Max, would come to me after he's had a breakup but I would just laugh at him. Speaking of Max.. I miss him. But either way I think I did a good job with Kenny.
Key word : think.

"No." He answered.

"Okay let me make you something to eat." I kissed his cheek and went to open the fridge.

"You know how to cook ?" He asked a little surprised.

"What do you take me for ?" I pretended to be offended. "And why is it so surprising ?"

"Because you always eat take outs, I've never seen uncooked food in your fridge. It's always left over fast food." He smiled at me.

"Well for your information Mister, I can cook. Cereal, noodles and eggs." I said as I looked inside my fridge. "I was going to cook a nice meal for you like the good person I am but you don't deserve it after doubting my cooking skills."

He laughed. "Yeah? Cook me what cereal ?"

"Yes, I make the best cereal." I said as I took out a box from the fridge. "There's pizza from last night. Leftover lasagna from two nights ago and doughnuts I ordered this morning. Or I could make you a sandwich. So many varieties to choose from. What do you want ?"

"I'll take the pizza." He said. I took the box and put it in the microwave and set the timer.

"You okay ?" I asked as I took out the lasagna out of the fridge and looked at him.

"Yeah. Thank you." He smiled at me.

I smiled too. "I love seeing you smile." I said. I don't even know why I said that but it was the honest truth. It's like he has a control button to my emotions. Whenever he's sad, I become sad too. But whenever he smiles, I feel like all the problems in the world dissapear.

"It's all because of you. You're my peace, you're my happy place Blue. I haven't been this happy in a very long time.. well not after my parents died."

"Want to tell me about them ?" I asked as I took out the pizza from the microwave and put the lasagna. Giving him the box of pizza and set the timer for the lasagna. I took out two cans of coke and gave one to him with a glass.

"My mother was a Pediatrician and my father was a Surgeon." He said as he opened the can and poured the drink inside the glass. "They were both loving parents and great doctors who served their people so that's why I fail to understand why someone would kill them so brutally. I know for a fact she killed them for a reason, I know she killed all those people for a reason. Python is not some psychopath serial killer. She kills these people for a reason. I need to know why though."

Yep, this dude is smart.

"My parents loved me dearly since I was their only child. They always provided me with everything I needed. Even with their busy lives, they always made time for me. My mother would cook for us when she got back from work and dad and I would exchange the duty of washing dishes and other chores. We were like a perfect family. They were good people. My mom and dad would always tell me about their patients at work, the way they were ambitious about their work made me want to be a doctor too. But fate had other plans."

"They sound like good people." I said as I drank my cold drink. I was confused as hell. They do sound like good people. Then why did I kill them ?

"They were." He said as he took a small bite of his pizza. "But enough about me. I wanna know about you."

I tried to remember my fake backup story. Was it the abondoned little orphan or the grew up with my sick mother story. Gosh I completely forgot my fake background. I looked at my lasagna as I played with my fork.
think Blue !! think !!

"I mean I'd understand if you aren't ready to share somethings with me. It's totally fine. I was just curious as to why you left the military to be a police officer. It's the first time I've seen something like this. People actually do the opposite."

Ohhhh!!! The soldier's granddaughter. How could I forget that ?!! The military story was an excuse to the bullet wounds and bruises. I'm really stupid!! I'm supposed to be a policewoman. When was even the last time I went to the station ? I hate that place.

"Well.. there's not much to tell. I was raised by my grandparents because my parents died when I was young." I lied. "My grandfather was in the military so most of the time it was just me and my grandma. I went to military school for two years after high school. And then when I turned twenty I became an official soldier and joined the military troops."

"I was a soldier for two years before finally deciding to join the police force two months ago."

"Why did you leave the military, I mean many police officers would die for that opportunity and you gave it all away."

Why did I leave the military? How am I supposed to answer that ? My dad didn't tell me why I left military !! Good job Pablo. Good job. You gave me an incomplete story. I could strangle my dad right now.

think Blue !! think.

"Well.. it just reminded me so much of my grandfather. I mean he was the Captain, he did my training and we went on war together. It just didn't feel the same without him."

At this point it doesn't suprise me how fast I could make up a lie and how much it could slip through my tounge. This is what I do for a living.

"I needed to get out of that place. It just reminded me of him and I.." I pretended to be sad as I shrugged my shoulders." I needed to heal from loosing him without every little thing reminding me of him. Even the uniform reminded me of him."

"Well we've had enough sadness for the day don't you think ?" I said as I stood up and took the boxes and cans on the table and threw them in the trash can. "I need to go shower and we'll watch a movie afterwards, if you don't have anything to do for the rest of the day obviously."

"You know I'll always be free for you." He smiled at me. "But I'm joining in on that shower though. You're right we've had too much sadness. I think we need something to get the sadness out of our system."

"And what could that something be ?" I asked seductively as I trailed my hands on his six packs. He stood up from his chair and my hands lowered as I touched him through his trousers. I could feel him harden as his eyes went dark.

He looked at my hand which was stroking him."Why don't I show you ?" He said as he picked me up and led me to the bedroom.
