Names on the paper

Licìa & Miracle

 

"How's your name written?" I hear him ask, when he sits down to the bed again after grabbing pencil and old hotel advertising paper. He points me with the pencil, as a courage to take it to my hand, and I do take it. The paper aswell.

I write my name Licìa Kehnä .

And after I have given the paper piece and pencil back, he tries to write my name on it too.

"Why you want to learn how to write my name?" I ask with wonder in my voice.

"I know how to write my own. I figured that yours would be easy start with that base" he declares to me.

I nod. And watch while he tries to figure it out.

"Kehnä is my last name. And if you want it easier, you can just write Liisi"

He glance me quickly and gives the paper back to me. I write it on it again. And once he takes them back, he tries to write it too.

"Do you want to know something about me?" I ask, since we are going to be married and he doesn't want to share anything about himself with me.

"No" he answers so shortly and so fast. I just stare at him for a while, but nod. This whole marriage felt so difficult already and we aren't even married just yet.

We had already argued today too. Before he sat down again. He got so angry at me because I asked about his moms death. His eyes were full of pure hate, but yet...he didn't felt like he would do anything else than just stare at me like that. And he did apologize eventually to me.

I somehow believed that he wouldn't be that bad person as everyone else felt like keeping him to be. I admit that he had made me cry several times, and we had known each other for couple days only, but still. I saw something...more in him.

I look at him while he writes in the paper. Again...again...and again. He clearly enjoys writing, even when he doesn't know how to write well or even read at all. His mother had died before he even could have the chance to teach all that. An he didn't tell me anything about his father, expect that he wishes he is dead by now.

My own parents died in a burning house before I was put on under a spell that made me sleep for 6 years, in a glass coffin. Under the deep ocean. I don't really remember much what happened on that day, when everything went down fall. All I do know, is that the man I was supposed to marry, is in love with someone else and now I'm engaged to this chihuahua with an attitude problems.

14 hours before:

"We are not going there. That is not a hotel" I try to say when he grabs me from my elbow and starts to lead us in to that place of sins and half naked people. I have never been there before and it wasn't in my bingo card for this year either.

"Would you like me to perform you own private show at the hotel then?" He smirks. I know he isn't kidding even thought he covers it in those smirks and smiles and amused voices.

"Oh dear Lord, no. Fine. We go there" I roll my eyes and let him lead us in. 

The lights are red, and here is a lot more warmer than outside. It's crowdied all over the place. I see people in colorfuk bikinis and lot's of shimmering clothing pieces while Miracle leads us in to a table.

"What you want to drink?" He asks while looking around. He feels more like excited than worried. I'm worried.

"I don't think they have anything warm, like coffee or tea?"

"I don't think so either" he answeres and still orders something for both of us when worker of this olace walks past us. I have no idea ehat he orders, and I don't even know the names.

"Oh my God" I might give a little scream, when I cover my eyes. I can't believe what I just saw. Can I have salt or soap for my eyes?

"I saw someones naked buttcheecks" I wishper in a shock. And he starts laughing.

I move my fingers just a little bit to see his face. He actually looks like it was funniest thing he has ever heard. Atleast coming from me. He laughs so much that he starts to cough while doing so. I love the fact that he is enjoying his living, even thought it needed that I saw something unwanted.

"How come you are going to be married if you get in a shock over that?" He asks me amused.

I roll my eyes. "I do not wish or plan to see you naked either" 

It was the first time I saw him actually have fun, heard his laugh. I think...it was the moment I started to fall for him...
