A Frightful Story 

Cheating

Claire

          I looked through the window as the rain fell on the bushes outside. Next to me, she smiled and I kissed her sweetly. The rain was pouring down heavier than ever. Lightening lit up the window as thunder roared from afar. She seemed to be scared, so I tried to comfort her. I held her closer and gently touched her long, blonde hair. I kissed her on the cheek, and watched she blushes.

I got up to draw the curtains together; that would make her feel more secure.  The cold wind made me sneeze as I cuddled back into bed. She lay there lovely and I pushed back her hair and found she had already fallen asleep in my arms. Her beautiful face radiated the energy of youth and happiness. I kissed her again and again.

    She was disturbed by the approaching footsteps. In the distance it sounded like a hungry bear searching for food. In the dark, I could hardly see anything.  I strained my ears to listen. The footsteps stopped.  」 Nothing is outside,」 I told her.  She lay down again to sleep.  Then the door opened quietly and lightening lit up the room.

On the high way you pulled the glasses back to cramp you black hair. You felt weird because of the fast-changing weather. The years had wrinkled you hands though your face was still young. Intentional make-ups and just-bought Jewry made you sexy as 20. You persuaded yourself that wasn』t true, but it helped none. As you drove near, you started to worry. And suddenly you realized that was wholly true.  Stepping out of the car, you walked toward the apartment. The heavy rain splashed everything on your new skirt. The dirty water, stormy weather, and a black cat walking in front of you seemed to mean something. But you wouldn』t think of it. You still believed no gossip. However it drove your desire to know more.The small dirty place scared you at first, but nothing could stop you.  You pushed open the gate; the sounds of the rusty hinges made the place seem creepier. You tried to tread lightly, but your soaked shoes gave off a strange sound with every step you took.  The wind blew through your hair.   You felt something was following you and suddenly turned around to look. There was nothing but the raindrops.  In the distance, you felt the power drawing you closer and closer.

     You pushed through the door and found I was naked with her.
