Arms of the Angel - Chapter 3
By Storywriter1987
16 December 2006
Here is chapter 3 for your enjoyment.

I personlly don't think its the best i've ever written. But if I feel it needs to be changed I will do so.

Please read it anyway.



It was obviously from a few years ago. But it made my heart stop. I walked over and picked up the picture frame and inspected the picture at closer detail. Dom and a woman. A blonde woman and they had their arms around each other. Laughing, joking, so close they must have had a serious relationship. What I didn’t hear was Dom coming into the room.


“You feeling better now?”

“Yes thanks. Much better. I’m still a bit sore though. But that’s normal.”

“I saw you looking at the picture of me and Susie. It was taken 2 years ago. Fun times.”

“You must love her very much. She been your girlfriend for a long time then? You two look very good together. Very much the loved up couple.”

“Girlfriend? Hell no. Susie’s my sister. She was killed in a car crash a year ago. I was let off lightly, but she died 2 days after the crash.”

“Oh, Dom, I am so sorry. I didn’t realize. See it is best if I go.”


I picked up my old clothes and walked to the door, I wiped away a tear and as I left the dorm he gently shot out his arm and pulled me towards him. He held me tightly and pulled my face up and I dropped my clothes to the floor. He gazed into my eyes with a look so deep I felt my soul was on fire. And so help me god, it was like an addiction. And I was hooked.

He got closer and closer to me and then I could feel his hot breath on my face. I felt his hand, gently squeeze my bottom and then...... finally - our lips met in a tender embrace and that was it. There was no going back.


A few minutes later he pulled away and took a split second look at me, he turned and walked out the room. I felt he regretted what he had just done. He obviously held Susie’s memory close to his heart and so he wasn’t a bit sure about sharing his feelings with anyone. Also that kiss… it had felt so real… so gentle…. so right. And then he goes and acts like this. What was going through his mind I didn’t know. I had to know, so I asked him.


“Dom, are you ok? You seem a bit, I don’t know, funny. You shared your feelings about Susie – was that not a good thing to do. I shouldn’t have come here…. I shouldn’t have kissed you. I’m sorry, but it felt right at the time. I’m sorry I’ll go. Thanks for the shower.”


And I was gone. Back in my dorm and as I sat by the door, wondering what on earth I was going to do my breathing calmed down, slowly but surely. It wasn’t until I felt the pain in my heart I realised I loved him and it wasn’t until I felt my hand getting wet that I realised I was crying. I curled up my knees and wrapped my arms round them. Wha I needed right now was Dom’s arms around me. I felt the world was on my shoulders and I had to fight them off. With Dom – I had no worries at all. He was my life jacket, my hope and my salvation. My one true love.

Clare, that last chapter was good, but one paragraph has got me confused. It's the one that starts: 'He got closer and closer to me---buying the drug etc; etc; Could you please explain the meaning of this to me? I don't think that I have missed anything, but where do the drugs come into it?

Hi Glynis 
 
I see where you are coming from. But i mentioned it was like an addiction and so thats where it comes in i think. To be honest i don't remeber what that bit was when i wrote it. So i must admit i'll change it.  
 
Please let me know if it looks better after that.  
 
Thanks.

Hi Clare, I have just re-read the third part of your story, yes that is a lot better. I know what you mean though, when writing. Sometimes we get so hooked in the story line that we forget where it is going. And yes, kissing someone special can be like 'Getting all drugged up' :grin I thinl we both know of someone who can have that effect n us ;) :grin
