Behind the Mask

Stormy Night (Part 10)

When that happen Mary opened her bewilder golden brown eyes and immediately she felt like she had been pushed down a cliff because of how staggered her entire body was when she gazed into the deep resplendent aquamarine eyes that were staring right back and not even a few nose ranges away from her. Mary's mouth opened slightly while the rest of her body got completely paralyzed when she looked at Ririka who had turned around and was now the one who had moved really close to the blonde girl, even going so far to grasping her hand that the girl having abandoned her plan had kept down right next to her own hip, between her and platinum haired woman.

 Mary's heart was beating like crazy and her own lungs forgot how they functioned. The intense silence returned once more, only that this time it was Ririka's presence that bound her down so that she could not even look away from her. A faint crimson red blush seemed to have jumped from Ririka's face right to her flustered friend. As the, with diamond colored eyes gifted, girl gazed mesmerizing at Mary, the blonde felt confused and nervous about what was going on. "Whoa! What's happening!" was the person, experiencing being bound for once, only able to think as her mouth wouldn't move at all.

 After having opened her own, the luminous aquamarine eyes of Ririka had been as if someone was holding the entirety of the universe just in front of the blonde astronaut, wherever Mary would be looking there being just the infinite infinitude of combined toxic green and sapphire blue and just like the real cosmos it kept expanding rapidly with a massive black hole in the middle sucking everything and even the mesmerized viewer into it at just the tempo that was matching the expansion. The only moment in time when Mary's vigilant eyes were able to look at something else was when Ririka all of a sudden opened her mouth and a soft voice came out that had the same vibe as a lamb's cuddling with each other at a warm fireplace. Innocent, sweet and maybe a bit timid. 

"Mary..."

 Never had the blonde girl whose golden brown eyes were cemented on her gambling partners sumptuous mouth, been made aware of how pretty her own name could be formed by someone else's lips. 

"What are you doing?" wondered the mansion's host, with that successive question marking an abrupt ending to the gentleness she had used when enunciating the blonde girl's name. Entirely different from what Mary had expected, Ririka's words didn't sound bashful or unpresuming at all. 

Sure, they were soft and had that Ririka tone to them that made everything she said feel like fluffy snowflakes gently dancing down to the ground, before then landing on some small golden bells. Despite that, in that instance what immediately caught the eye significantly more was how the, into Mary's eyes staring girl, was actively expressing through her tone how she was severely confused. Not only that but it even sounded like she was judging the persons he was sharing a bed with in some aspect, the confusion actually only being a product of Ririka attempting to believe that she somehow just wasn't recognizing the vital point that would explain Mary's intolerable actions. Also, the previously silent girl, for her standards, sounded rather tired and aloof as if she had not actually been attentive to what Mary had been doing or saying for the last few minutes, it all just having passed by to her without much of an impact. 

"What I am doing?" thought Mary to herself in an dubious manner, however despite her not being capable of finding any explanations to why Ririka might be reproving to any level really, her soul was already pinned and denuded by the aquamarines eyes and because of it, Ririka's impressions were able to form her soul into any shape they wanted it to be in. Either way the girl with open golden hair suddenly had the substantial sentiment that she had messed up, there being chiding voices in her head all making her feel guilty, yet without Mary having the will to contest any of that since it to her it almost felt like she was getting spanked but very rightfully so. "W-What do...you...?"
