Chapter 3
Chapter 3
I listen to my GPS as it takes me in the downtown Seattle, and right next to the Space needle I see a tall building with the words Nightshade written on the top of the building. "Wow, when was this built?" I ask myself as I park in front of the building, I just sat in my car and look at it and then back at my dress, and I should not have dressed like this for a company like this. I felt so underdressed. I take a deep breath and reach for the door when someone has already opened it for me. "Miss." The Valet says as he gives me his hand and helps me out of my car.
"Hi... I didn't know there was valeting here." I say as I hand him my keys and a five dollar bill. "Thank you miss, here is your ticket." He says as I grab my ticket and turn back to the building. Who drive a 1968 bug? I hear the man say as I turn around at him and walk back to my car, I knocked on the window which makes him jump but he rolls down the window, "Did you forget something miss?" He asks as if he didn't say something rude about my car. "I drive a 1968 beetle, his name is Blue and I would love it if you would be nice to him, okay?" I hiss which makes his eyes widen as he quickly drives off.
I huff as I turn back to the building and see someone has already opened the door for me. "Thank you." I say as I walk in and my eyes widen, it was huge! But really really boring. All the walls were white with some black and white paintings. I don't understand who could have just white walls and all black and white paintings, no color at all. Even the front desk was white and the girl behind it was wearing a black dress and her brown hair was tied back in a bun. "Hello, I'm Harley O'Heir; I'm here to see Mr. Nightshade?" I say. The girl looks up from her computer, looks me up and down and then pushes a button and I hear an elevator open up.
I turn to the elevator and then back to the lady, "Umm..." I start but the lady's eyes just cuts through me, "Go to the top floor, and walk all the way down the hallway, Theresa will help you the rest of the way." The lady hisses as she goes back to looking back at her computer. I roll my eyes, "Thanks for the help I guess." I say and walk to the elevator and push the top floor. Even the elevator was white! It didn't have one piece of metal around me; it was just white, what is up with just being white!? The door opens and I'm greeted by another woman wearing a red dress, short black hair and cat glasses on her face that cover her cat green eyes. "Miss. O'Heir, hello I'm Theresa I am Mr. Nightshade's assistant I will be taking you Mr. Nightshade's offices." Theresa says as she starts to walk away from me. I quickly pick up my pace and follow.
"So Miss..." "No not Miss, just Theresa." Theresa interrupts. I had to hold the urge to not roll my eyes, "Sorry, so Theresa, how long have you worked for Mr. Nightshade?" I ask as I look around the top floor, this floor wasn't white like the rest of the building, it's black. It would be pitch black if they didn't have lights on that's how black it was. "I've been working with Mr. Nightshade since the beginning." She says not looking at me. I raise an eyebrow, "So like how many years?" I ask which makes her look at me, "You are just full of questions Miss. O'Heir." She says and I could hear the bitterness in her voice. "Well... I'm a reporter; my job is to ask a lot of questions." I say back.
Not long, we stop in front of a black door that I almost ran into if I didn't watch Theresa stop first. "But Miss. O'Heir, I'm not the one your support to interview." She says as she turns to me and locks eyes with me. I don't understand what he sees in her, why her out of all of the others that have fallen. I hear in my head, what was she talking about? Before I could ask, Theresa opens the door for me, "Mr. Nightshade will be with you shortly." She says as she keeps her eyes on me. I nod and walk in, "Oh and don't touch anything." She hisses before she closes the door behind me.
"What a bitch." I say out loud as I look around to see red, blood red. The walls were red, the desk was black and the lights were black stands with red lights, it almost looked like fire was in his office, and there were no paintings but one and this painting caught my eye quickly. I walk over to the painting to see a girl and a boy holding each other on a staircase. The girl had snow white hair and a long red dress on and white heels. And the man had short black hair with a black robe on but what got my attention were their wings, the girl had white angle wings while the man had black wings, like it was a forbidden love.
This painting felt familiar to me but I don't know why or how. "Beautiful isn't it?" I hear behind me which makes me jump as I turn around to see the most handsome man I've ever laid eyes on. He was even better looking than his picture. His short black mop top hairstyle was flipped on one side and his dark blue eyes were darker than I thought they'd be. "I... It's..." Holy crap I can't talk! What is wrong with me, oh right, his handsome and I look like a girl who works at a candy store, idiot.
"What's wrong, devil got your tongue?" He asks with as wicked smile. Wait, what did he say? "What did you say?" I ask as I look at him closes, its' so quite in this offices, which is weird because it's never quite around me. Then it hit me, I can't hear his thoughts... It's blank... "I said devil got your tongue?" He laughs as he takes out his hand, "Blake Nightshade, you must be Miss. O'Heir." He says as I take his hand, "Yes... Why would you say that? Its normally cat got your tongue." I feel him pull my hand closer to him, "Where I'm from, the devil has control of your tongue, because with your tongue you can do sinful things." He whispers which just makes him sexier.
I don't know why but when he said that to me, I just really wanted to make out with him, like my body was drawn to him. I shook that stupid thought away and pull my hand back, "Well... Where are you from Mr. Nightshade?" I ask as he puts his hands in his pocket and walks to his desk. I follow and sit in one of the chairs in front of his desk, Blake siting on his desk in front of me instead of behind the desk. "Is that part of your questionnaire?" He asks and I see a ring on his right hand, I just can't tell what it is. "Umm... No it's not." I say as I quickly take out my notes that I wrote whenever I had to stop for a red light or anything.
"I'm from Romania." He says which makes my head pop up, "Really? I would have never guessed that." I say which makes him laugh, God his laugh, I just want to hear it all day long. "Is it because I don't have an accent?" He asks which makes me nod, "Yeah." "Well, it's because I was born there but moved up here when I was only a baby so I guess I never had to learn the Romania accent." He says that smile returns. I smile back as I take out my recorder, "Shall we begin?" I ask as I push play and look up to see Blake's face close to mine.
"Not quite yet, I want to know where you're from." He says his eyes sparking. "Umm... Ireland, but I was raised here, I lost my accent." I say in almost a whisper, why was he so close to me? "Mm... That explains the last name, but what's your first name?" He asks and puts his hands on both sides of my chair. I swallow, not really knowing what was happening, "Harley, Harley O'Heir." I say in a whisper. "As in the Joker's girlfriend?" He asks and pushes back which makes me breath again.
I nod, "Yeah, my mother is a huge Batman fan and well, Harley Quinn was her favorite villain so here I am. My twin sister name is Alice form her favorite movie Alice in Wonderland." I blab, what was wrong with me? Why was I telling him all of this!? "Hmm... A twin huh? I bet you get all the guys like that." He says. I raise an eyebrow, "Excuse me?" I ask but he just shakes his head, "Nothing, dirty joke that I can see in your eyes that you want to slap me." He lends in again and looks closely at my eyes, "Violet eyes, how different." He says.
I feel my body stiff up, "Mr. Nightshade... I..." I try to talk but he puts his finger to my lips making me stop talking, "Blake, call me Blake." He says as he keeps his finger to my lip. I have no idea what to do, what was going on, I wish I knew what he was thinking, wow that was a first. After what seemed like forever, Blake moves his finger and pushes back and goes back to his desk. "I'm sorry, I got a little... Carried away with your eyes, I never seen eyes that color before." He says not taking his eyes off mine.
"I... I get that a lot." I say and see that the recorder is still on. "Umm... We should get on with this interview." I say and look at my questions again. "As you wish, what's your first question Harley?" He asks. I feel a shiver go down my spine just him saying my name, I was losing it. But I quickly snap out of it and start to talk, "Mr. Nightshade, you are the world youngest billionaires, how did you get your money so fast?" I ask. "Well I robbed a bank of course." He says and smiles at me which just scares me. Not long he starts to laugh, "Harley my dear you need to loosen up, have some fun." I glare at him before he answers.
"Well, I have always had money, form my family and well, I just knew how to keep it and make it grow." He says. I kept asking him questions trying to get him know him more you know, normal boring questions, like what his favorite color is, (which is red), if he had any pets as a kid, (a Rottweiler) and other questions my readers will want to read. I write down everything I could thank goodness for my recorder. "Okay, so you're rich, handsome..." "You think I'm handsome?" He asks and wiggles his eyebrow. I give him darker glare, "And funny so why are you a bachelor?" I ask. He moves his fingers through his hair and it was like he was doing it in slow motion. "Well... I guess I can't find someone who can handle this." He says and moves his hand down his side.
Oh please. I thought but kept it to myself but write down, can't find Miss. Right. "Well Blake, I think we're done here." I say as I turn off my record and start to pack up. "Thank you so much for answering all my questions and well... A different kind of day." I say as I look up to see Blake looking at me. "I have one more question for you." He says as he grabs my hand and helps me stand, our bodies close. "What is that?" I ask. "Are you seeing anyone?" He asks.
I shake my head, "Umm... No, I'm not." I answer. "Really? How strange." I can't take him being close to me anymore so I quietly laugh and push him away from me. "I really need to go." I say and put my purse over my shoulder and start to walk to the door. I hear Blake behind me, "Let me walk you out." He says and opens the door for me. "Thank you." I say and walk out. We walked in silent and I could feel his eyes on me, why can't he just look away. We walk past a door I didn't even know was there until it was open to relive another office. Before we walked too far past it I saw Theresa just staring at us.
"Don't worry about her, she doesn't like humans." He says. "Humans?" I ask which makes him laugh, "I mean like people, another wording we use back home." He says as we reach the elevator. I turn to him as I hear the doors open, "Well I guess this is it." I say as I take my hand out again, "It was nice to meet you Mr. Nightshade." I say as he takes my hand, "It was nice to meet you as well O'Heir, but I want to see you again, when can I see you again?" He asks.
I let go of his hand and step into the elevator, "I don't know, I guess you'll just have to find me." I say with a smile. I see the elevator door close but Blake puts his hand on the door to hold it open, "Is that a challenge?" He asks his eyes screaming at me. I do a side smile, "It might be." I say as I push Blake back so the doors can closed. "I will find you." He says his face serious. I smile and right before the door closes I say,
"I hope so."
