I'm Falling In Love With You Ruthless (Part 3)
Ruthless rolled his eyes and folded his arms behind him.
"Are you going to gently stand up or should I do the honors?" He asked.
"Your worst can't make me move an inch Handsome, try me," Vala said in a challenge, smirking, as the onlookers watched with interest.
Vala suddenly found herself falling to the ground as the chair disappear and reappears in Ruthless hand, he placed the chair in front Blue.
"That's your chair brother," he said, leaving Blue heading towards one of a table with chairs, they were occupied by two werewolves who quickly stood up when Ruthless was almost at their table. The two werewolves hadn't ordered anything yet so their table was empty.
He sat down on one of the chairs and when he twisted his neck to look at his brother, he found out that Blue wasn't there again and the chain girl was glaring at him.
He couldn't bear it anymore.
"Leave now, all of you." He ordered and everyone scrambled to their feet and ran out of the cafeteria, everyone except Vala.
Vala stood up and dusted herself and went to meet him. By now the cafeteria was empty left for the both of them.
"What is wrong with you, we made a deal and you should keep to your word Ruthless," Vala shouted.
"Finally, she calls my name," Ruthless said with a shrug as a different menu appeared in front of him and Ruthless pointed at some of the things he needed before it disappeared. He glanced up to see Vala still glaring at him. "What?"
"You fail to keep up to your words."
"But I did, I didn't kill anyone yesterday and I am not killing anyone today but will tomorrow," Ruthless said as what he ordered appeared.
Vala grabbed a plate of chicken and sat down on the other chair, chewing the chicken together with its bones.
"Stop venting out your anger on the poor chicken, at least leave the bones out of it," Ruthless told her and ate three spoon of rice before he stop to look at Vala who took the rice plate from him and started to eat it, still glaring at him "First of all, I did not send them out of the cafeteria because I enjoy doing it, you may not understand this, but whenever I am around them, I always have this urge to take their powers. I am power hungry, that's why I always sent them out of the cafeteria, so that it won't get messy." He explained himself.
Vala smiled sweetly at him as she paused in her food, "Oh my Handsome I wasn't angry because of that; but thanks for clarifying that," then she returned to her glaring state, "Why did you take the chair?"
"My name is not Handsome, stop calling me that."
"Whatever, why did you take the chair away from me?"
"Was the chair yours?" Ruthless asked and watched as she finished the rice and took the rabbit soup.
"No, but neither was it Blue's own, his name wasn't written on it."
"Stop eating my food,"
"Actually they are more delicious than the one I was given." Vala told him. "So tell me where were you yesterday? I waited for you but you didn't come."
"I went somewhere private so I couldn't come yesterday and I swear to heaven if you touch that last plate of fish soup I am going to burn your hands," Ruthless said as Vala stretched forth her hand to take the remaining plate. Probably it was the way Ruthless sound that made her put her hands down.
"I was thinking about you all throughout yesterday," Vala said.
"Why?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes,"
"Then tell me why you are not hungry for me powers, I mean you are sitting right before me and haven't asked me to leave yet because according to you, you are power hungry."
"I don't feel that urge to take your powers and why I am letting you sit down here is for two reasons, one, because I made a deal with you so it's rude to send you out and secondly, you are the only person who had stared at me in my face and talk right back at me," Ruthless said. "So I have answered yours, now answer mine." He added.
"I don't know what is wrong with me lately, just two days Ruthless, two days and I think I'm falling in love with you Ruthless." Vala told him as she stared right into his eyes.
They stared at each other.
"I only swim in deep waters. If you want to test my waters, you better know how to swim. When I was a child, I wanted to play with the other kids, to be normal you know. But they stayed away from me and couldn't play with me, even Blue couldn't. As I grow older, I learn to build a thick wall around me, so thick that it would take a million years to pull it down, so you are barking at a wrong tree," Ruthless told her and stood up to leave. "You can eat up the fish soup and stay away from me." He made to turn around and heads for the cafeteria door when Vala's voice stopped him.
"You and I are somehow alike. When I was young, I was mocked, insulted and bullied because of how I look and how fat I am but I have learned to ignore them and focus on myself. Do you know what it feels like to walk around with these chains? So I vented out my anger in my training and I always emerge the best. I was lied to that I was an orphan and I grew up believing that. Then all of a sudden it was all a lie, circumstances separated my parents and me. So you see we are alike, only that in your case, you are the beauty and I am the beast." Vala told him. "Now that I have realized we are truly in the same book, it will be hard to stay away from you. All I know is that I am falling in love with you and I want you, I know it's too soon but we can at least get to know each other."
"I don't like you and that thing you just said, the other 'L' word, I hate it with passion. Stay away from me," Ruthless said to her as he turned to face her.
"You still don't get it do you? I think perhaps this scenario will work; I will always hold a candle for you even until it burns my hand. And when the light has long since gone, I will be there in the darkness holding what remains, which quite simply means I cannot let go." Vala told him. "Your eyes are so white, pure white like snow, I think I will stop calling you Handsome, I think I will call you by another name now, my Winter."
