Novelo Rectangle

Dawn would break soon, but he couldn't sleep. He didn't even bother lying down. He lit a cigarette and walked out into the unkempt yard, the smell of damp earth, sharp and zingy. His lips curled into a smile when he saw that the swinging daybed he and Boris had hung with their mother years ago was still there. He cleared off the pine needles and climbed on it carefully, letting his mind drift back to when things were simpler, and his desire for a woman's body was satisfied swiftly, leaving no room for other emotions.A soft rustle from inside caught his attention and he turned to look as Megan walked toward him, the fallen leaves crunching under her bare feet."What are you doing out here, shouldn't you be sleeping?" she asked groggily."I should be asking you the same question. Here, come sit by me," he said, making room so she could join him."It doesn't look very comfortable."Dmitry smiled, and a vein popped out in his forehead. "It's not, actually. But it was worth the try to get you closer."An irresistible impulse drew her forward, and she sat on the threadbare canvas next to him. "I can see why you brought me here," she said softly. Under the pale moonlight and the chirping of the crickets, everything seemed magical."There was a time when all I wanted was to leave this place, this way of life. I was wrong.

"Do you want to press charges?""Please, can we talk about something else?" she said, her voice turning cold and distant.He cleared his throat and touched her hand gently. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up at all.""You don't have to apologize. I just can't think straight at the moment," she replied, crossing her arms."Are you cold, do you want to go back inside?""No. I like it here. Would you just hold me, please?"He moved closer and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight against him. She rested her head on the crook of his shoulder and breathed in his masculine scent. His warm breath ruffled her hair, and she turned her head to look at him."I don't want to be alone," she said, and the agony in her voice made his chest tighten."You won't. It's going to be alright," he whispered, and this time, somehow, he believed it.&nbsp;The End.
