The innocent and the Psychopath.

The vodka lightly drizzled down her lip as she placed her fingers on her smooth mouth whipping the alcoholic beverage off. "Yes I did visit by there this morning after we spoke of him yesterday. I wanted to make conversation so I brought some whiskey over since you had said it wasn't easy talking with him." She stated as she binged some more on her food before finishing. She gave him a soft glare as she got up from the table to take her plate to the sink. She sat back down and looked in his eyes seeing he got offly warm and comfortable quickly. She tilted her head and wondered how he knew she went over there as she shrugged the thought out of her mind.

Marlenna saw the deep lust in his eyes, let alone his lips after he keeps licking them. She tilted her head lightly and decided she wanted to get comfortable on the couch and get to know him. "We can go sit on the couch, I'll start up the fire place." She deprived to sound innocent. She never thought Gabriel wanted sex she just thought a little fun with alcohol is all. She grabbed his hand lightly and led him to the couch. She kneeled down and lite the fire place. She paced back to the couch and sat down crossing her legs once more as she gently smiled at him, seeing the lust in his eyes getting deeper as she turned her head away from him. "Tell me about yourself." She said as she kept thinking about aleksei and his smile that only lasted seconds. She shifted slightly and took off her heels and placed her legs up next to her as she directed her attention to Gabriel. Her dress lightly slipped off on one shoulder exposing her pale skin as she brushed through her hair with her fingers, lightly sucking the taste of stinging vodka off her smooth soft lips.

Marlenna read the Russian letters on the 1994 red wine bottle as she gasped, cuffing the bottle gently in her hands "This is one of my favorite red wines, I need to add this into my wine brewery collection" she said as she invited him to join us "please come inside, make yourself at home as well." She said as she shut the door and offered to hang his coat on the rack. She smiled at them both. "I'll go set this in the kitchen and pore us some." She said as she walked into the kitchen to pore them some drinks. She reached over and grabbed a cork opened to pop the top off the wine bottle. She leaned down to grab the jack Daniel whiskey for Aleksei and the vodka for Gabriel. She got three different types of glasses. A small whiskey glass, a tall thin wine glass and a tall wide glass for vodka. She pored the separate drinks and scrapped some food on a plate for Aleksei to eat.

Marlenna frowned as she saw him go. She set down the drinks and padded some dust off her dress as she looked at Gabriel. She glanced at the time seeing it was 11 o'clock as she frowned and thought of Aleksei and wonderd if he was okay. She saw Gabriel chuckle as she slightly got upset "I think it's about time you go home as well Gabriel" she said as she grabbed his coat off the rack and threw it carelessly on his lap before walking to the door and opening it to advise him to leave. "I'll see you another time." She said looking away from him as she leaned against the door waiting for him to leave.

Marlenna slammed the door behind her as she slipped off her dress and kicked it off on the couch. She walked upstairs and pulled a loose sweater, scarf, jeans and some boots out and threw them on. She placed back downstairs and grabbed her 32 bottles of whiskey and put them in a crate together before heading out her back door. She walked over the Aleksei's house as it began to snow heavier than usual. She made it to his porch and placed the crate next to the front door as she slipped a note beside the bottles saying ' No need to repay me ~ Marlenna ' she knocked lightly on the door and began to walk back home. She forced her door closed as the heavy wind threatened to blow it open. She slid down the door and pulled her knees to her chest as she sat in her dark house for a moment before crying silently to herself, feeling as if she scared Aleksei off. She dragged herself upstairs and sat on her bed opening her curtains as the light was dim from the storm outside. She heard thunder in the snow clouds as she peeled off her shirt and jeans and layed down to try and fall asleep, tears streaming on her pillow as she reached over and held a small silver cross in her hand and prayed just like her mother used to before bed.

Marlenna whipped her tear off as she stood up and gripped her arms tightly around Aleksei as she cried heavily. She felt his cold arms wrap around her smooth warm hips as she dug her face lightly in his neck. The cross in her hand dangled on her wrist as she gripped onto Aleksei tighter. Her hand grabbing the back of his neck lightly "I'm sorry if I scared you away. Or if Gabriel said anything vile to you." She said as she ran her hand down his back lightly, taking in this moment deeply as she felt more sincere at the moment than she did lust.

She lightly pressed her warm hand against his cheek as she looked into his eyes "Whatever Gabe said to you, don't take it to heart even if it was the truth. The only thing worse than the truth is an in-compelling, ignorant little bitch telling you your own life as if it was his own." She said as she inched her lips towards his, wanting to kiss him but she knew it was to soon. "I heard what he said.. And I know what happened to your sister and mother." I said as I released my grip from him and led him to the bed to sit. "I know that you would give anything in the world to feel wanted since you have never experienced the warm feeling of actually having someone there for you to understand you. Not necessarily understanding exactly what you have been through,just understand the same feelings that we all experience.. Saddness, anger and pain.. You need happiness." She said as she gently looked down and reached over grabbing his hand and placing her small silver cross in his bloody Palm. She leaned over and grabbed a rag off her night stand and whipped the still fresh blood off his palm as she closed his hand into a fist, gripping onto the cross. "Even if your not religious.." She paused as she continued to whisper "this is the cross that made me feel wanted when I was alone and in distress." she smiled and placed his hand back into his lap as she looked in his eyes.

Marlenna stood up and smiled as he kissed her. She placed her hand on her lips and smiled before placing it on his face and looking into his eyes. She pressed her soft plush lips against his again as a smile broke between the kiss. She hugged him again and walked him downstairs seeing how late it was. She reached the back door and pulled him close again "I feel like I've known you forever" she whispered to him as she kept gazing at him. She grabbed his jacket and zipped it up and placed her hands flat on his chest before reaching down and opening the door. "If you need anything at all. I mean anything. Comfort, someone to talk to, or more whiskey. I'll leave this door unlocked and you can just come inside" she said as she saw him step onto the back porch. She waved lightly and closed the door and this time, not locking it, ever. She looked down and realized she was only in her bra and panties still as she blushed heavily. She made her way to the kitchen and peeked out of the window, making sure he got home safely without Gabriel trying to jump him. She smiled and turned off her porch light and went back upstairs and crawled into bed feeling heartened and happier than she's ever been in her life. She turned and looked at her night stand seeing a large silver watch planted on it as the Sound of ticking filled her thoughts. She sat up and picked it up seeing that it was Aleksei's. She cuffed it in her hands and smiled. Setting it next to the the bloody rag as she layed down once more to finally rest.

She heard the watches ticking in her dream as she peeked awake, seeing the bright sun light gleam onto her pale skin as she rubbed her eyes. She turned onto her side and watched the silver watch tick for a couple minutes as she smiled, day dreaming of Aleksei. She yawned and sat up before freshening up in the bathroom. She grabbed the watch and went downstairs as she looked outside, seeing Aleksei's house but strangely he wasn't looking through his window at me. She placed the watch down and started a fresh batch of coffee and started the stove to cook some bacon and sausage. She looked out the window again and placed her finger tips against her lips tasting a hint of whiskey from his lips. She smiled and her cheeks heated up. She heard the coffee brewing and once again her attention got directed to the ticking of his watch which seemed awfully loud. She pulled her white coat off the rack and tied her combat boots as she walked out back and headed towards Aleksei's house. She saw his door slightly open as she walked up the creeky steps and walked inside. "Aleksei?" She said loudly as she walked around the house to find him. She stopped at the staircase leading to the basement as she squinted and continued to look down there. "There is no way in hell I'm walking down there" she said as she stepped back and kicking a glass bottle. She turned and saw a staircase leading up as she hesitantly walked up stairs. The stairs where creeky as she slowly reached the top, looking over into each bedroom she saw him lounged and sprawled out on his bed with a whiskey bottle in his hand. She smiled and walked in quietly as she took the whiskey bottle and placed it on the desk near his bed. She shifted his head on his pillow and covered him up as she set his watch down next to the half empty bottle. She closed the blinds so it was dark in his room as she leaned over him and kissed him softly. Marlenna walked downstairs slowly and closed his front door before walking back to her house to begin cooking.

Marlenna smiled and handed Aleksei a plate. "dig in" she said as she walked over to the coffee pot pouring two cups of coffee. One with a shot of vanilla and one with a shot of whiskey. She walked over to the dining table and opened the news paper reading about the recent homocides and suicides that have happened within this past week. She looked up and saw Gabriel walking alongside the sidewalk and looking at my house and then back at the sidewalk. I tilted my head slightly and looked back at the newspaper "anything interesting happen to you last night Aleksei? I heard a lot of noise yesterday coming from your house when I was trying to sleep." I said as I smiled looking up at him as he poured more whiskey into his coffee.

She folded the news paper back and pushed it to the side as she sipped her coffee "I can't imagine im doing anything tonight." She said as she placed her coffee on the small saucer next to the news paper. "Why?" She asked as she smiled, running her hands up and down her tattoos on her arms as she began to trace the outline with her finger.

Marlenna smiled and picked up her warm cup placing it to her lips before she answered "I would love to" she said as she sipped the hot brown liquid and placed it back on the small plate. She stood and and walked towards the counter, taking out some old photos of her from the drawer as she smiled, shuffling through them like a deck of cards. She set the down and walked upstairs, changing into some afternoon clothes as she sat on her bed, placing her face in her hands, thinking. She ran her fingers through her hair as she heard cars passing by on the streets which was unusual in this neighborhood.
