Dark Truth Read online

“Not yet.” He answered me with another perfect smile. “I still need someone beautiful to stand by my side, someone to love me forever, as long as we were to live.” He was still smiling.

  “I’m sure you could have anyone that you wanted, and at anytime.”

  “Yes, you are right, but I don’t just want anyone.” He said starring at me, starring into my eyes. If he don’t stop I might actually explode.

  I had to look away to break the hold that he had on me for that one moment. Then he showed me into his dinningroom, where we would be eating. I walked over to his table, where he pulled out the chair for me to sit down.

  He walked out of the room, but was back in seconds. When he entered the room, he had plates of food with him, and he sat them down on the table.

  “I hope that you like the food. Believe it or not, I made it myself. People have told me that I am a great cook.”

  I looked down at the table where he sat the food down in front of me, before sitting down across from me. Their was a juicy looking roast,with big juicy sliced carrots, rice and rolls.

  “Well it looks really great Mica. Thank you.” I said then we started to eat.

  Wow, I thought to myself. This food tastes great. I noticed that he was looking up at me trying to be inconspicuous, so I thought I better say something.

  “Mica, the food is really great. You are a great cook.”

  “Thank you Raven. I’m glad your enjoying it. I hoped that you would.” And once again he smiled at me. If he doesn’t stop smiling, I’m liable to stop breathing. But I returned the smile and continued to eat.

  After we were done eating, he took the plates into the kitchen. I assumed, then came back to sit beside me.

  “Would you like a tour of my place? While we wait on the others to meet us here.” He asked.

  “Sure, that would be nice.” I answered. Trying not to sound to nervous.

  He took my hand and led the way through his beautiful condo. His bathroom was huge, with a jet streamed shower in one corner and a walk in tub in another. Their were two sinks, two mirrors as if it were made for two people instead of one. This is the type of bathroom that I would love to have. But anyways. The rest of his place was even more spectacular than his bathroom, which shouldn’t come to me as a surprise.

  His bedroom was the biggest room in the condo almost,the livingroom was just a bit bigger than his bedroom. But in his bedroom, he had long made fancy like kurtains that matched everything that went in his room. Like the dark brown and black sheet and comforter set, made up on his cherry colored oak wood, king size bed. The furniture was the same type and color of wood. Everything fit together and matched so perfectly.

  In his other bedroom, it was the same, except that it was a lighter shade of brown and beige mixed, but still beautiful. I wondered if he color coordinated his self or had someone to come in and do it? Oh well it doesn’t matter much. It’s beautiful regaurdless.

  “I’m glad you didn’t mind comming here to eat. It’s alot easier for me to talk to you here.” He said sounding very pleased.

  “I’m actually glad you asked me to come here to eat. I feel more comfortable to be myself here, a little bit anyway.” I said to him as I smiled at him.

  “Your welcome Raven.” He said back to me smiling and his eyes caught mine in his mezmorizing stare and I couldn’t look away. I’m starting to think that he might have some intrest in me, or he could just be trying to be nice.

  Chapter Five

  It Seems to Be a Good Start

  After he was finished giving me the entire tour of his place. We walked over to a beautiful white velvet like material, sectional sofa in his livingroom so that we could sit and talk. We are still waiting on the rest of the cast to meet us here to go to some celebrity party of some sort.

  “So Raven, tell me something about yourself.”

  I sighed,cause honestly I’m really not that interesting, I’m sure he’ll be board quickly. “Well, what would you like to know?” I asked

  “Well, why did you want to meet me and the other cast members of the movie Dark Love? “His eyes were starring into mine as he waited patiently for my answer.

  “Honestly Mica. It’s sorda embarressing and you may think I’m crazy and try to make a run for it as soon as you can.” I said bending my head down to look at my hands.

  “I’m sure it’s not that bad Raven. Please. I’d really like to know, I’m curious.” He pleaded.

  “Just promise you won’t think that I’m crazy. I don’t want to ruin this night.”

  “I really don’t believe that I could think that about you. You are one fan that seems to be pretty sane. The rest are constantly screaming and crying and running after me. So please tell me.” Once again he pleaded.

  Here goes nothing. I thought to myself. “Well. Every since I first saw you and the one’s who play your family in the movie Dark Love....” I paused trying to get the strength to answer his question. “I felt like--- like I knew all of you, like there was some type of connection between us, I felt drawn to all of you, and it feels like I am supposed to be here with you and the others, like this is where I belong. If you want me to go I’ll understand, I told you that it sounded crazy.” I was still starring down at my hands, as I twittled them nervously waiting on his response.

  As he started to speak he very gently, with his cool kind of cold hands, lightly touched underneath my chin and lifted my face to meet his mezmorizing stare.

  “Raven, that doesn’t make me think that your crazy. Believe me, don’t be embarressed. It’s actually kinda sweet in it’s own way. I’m glad you told me.” He said in a soft comforting tone and smiling his perfect smile at me. Instantly I felt comforted. I started to feel that mabe I could be more of myself without becoming self conscience.

  “Thank you Mica.For not thinking I’m a crazed obsessed fan, because really I’m not.” I smiled at him.

  “Your welcome, but like I told you before. I don’t think that about you. You seem pretty saine to me.” he just continued to smile at me.

  “Thanks. But now it’s your turn. Tell me something about you. I try not to believe what they write in those magazines, I think that they’ll say anything to make money.”

  “Well I can tell you, that I’m twenty years old. Which that part I’m pretty sure you know. I am single, they didn’t lie about that part, and like I said I’m looking for someone who can really love me for me, forever,” It looked like a hint of a unfamiliar smile was showing as he said that last word. “someone that I can have a deep connection with. I like to go out and have fun, in between work of course. And their is something that I think is important for you to know about something I believe.”

  “What would that be?” I asked curious to hear what he had to tell me.

  “I’ll tell you, but I hope you don’t think that I am comming at you to strongly.” He looked kind of nervous, which made the butterflies start going crazy in my stomache. I stared waiting nervously for him to continue, but trying not to let it show in my expression. “Well I think that you are truely incredibly beautiful. You seem to be a very sweet and kind caring person. I like that about you.”

  I couldn’t speak. His eyes were boreing into mine, dazzling me to where I couldn’t even move my lips to attempt to speak. He has a hold on me for sure, this is something that I was wanting to hear from him.

  I knew that I was blushing. I’m not used to anyone besides mabe my mom when I was younger telling me things like this, but she said it to make me feel better when my feelings were hurt. I’m not quite sure his meaning for telling me this.

  Finally, when he moved his eyes down to look at my hands, I was able to speak. “Thank you Mica.” I said to him. “But I have to say that you are the reason behind the beauty part of me tonight.” I gestured to the dress and the hair. This was what he done for me.

&nbs
p; “I don’t think so Raven. I believe that you can be this beautiful in whatever you wear. Definately.” As he said these unfamiliar words to me, he gently and slowly-- I guess making sure I had no objections---took one of my hands and placed it in both of his.

  I could feel myself loosing my breath. I closed my eyes and concentrated on not passing out, so that I could continue to speak to him normally.

  “So, Mica.” I said casually, to change the subject. Him touching me and saying these things were going to leave a mark if I hope that he truely wants me. I want to make sure of it first before I let myself believe it all. “This party we are going to...” I hesitated. “ is everyone going to be dressed this nice or will I need to go back to the hotel to change?”

  “One thing first, Raven and don’t freak, but I actually got you something to wear for tonight.” He smiled at me sorda nervously. “I have the clothes here. I hope you don’t mind. Honestly it’s just something else that I wanted to do for you. I’ll be changing as well.”

  “Oh. Umm, thats fine. Thank you once again. You really didn’t have to go out of your way to do all of this for me though, but I really am grateful just so you know. I don’t mind at all.” I wondered why he was really doing these things, and why he had me to wear this dress when we were only comming to his place! Mabe he knew the photographer’s would be there. That is the only logical explaination that I can see at this very moment. I think.

  “Okay. then we should go ahead and get dressed then. The others will be here soon to meet us. Follow me and I’ll show you where your clothes are and where you can change.” As he motioned me back toward the bedrooms that he had shown me earlier.

  I followed him to his guest room and he left me there to change and went to go get redressed him self. The clothes that he had gotten me to wear were very nice and casual, but still dressy. The pants were designer jeans and the shirt was black and silky, short sleeve with silver buttons down the front. The shoes were open toed sandled heels. I’ll tell you one thing he does have good taste in women’s clothes unless he has someone picking them out for him.

  When I was done dressing, I went back to the livingroom to wait on him. I didn’t have to wait long, before he was in the livingroom with me and also standing in front of me starring at me and once again with his breathtaking smile. Smiling at me. What is it about his smile, that makes me so weak?

  Then he spoke. “You look very beautiful Raven.” He once again complemented me.

  “Thanks. You don’t look bad yourself.” I’m really starting to be myself now. He makes me feel comfortable, so that I’m able to be myself. I seriously feel like I’ve knew him forever, which I know is impossible. The feelings that I have been having are really starting to hit me very strongly right now. For some reason.

  He walked toward me,smiling still yet. When he was standing directly in front of me, he placed his hands on my shoulders and leaned back as if to really get a better look at me, which made my heart start to pound.

  “May I?” He asked, gesturing to the black and silver clasp that was still in my hair.

  “Umm, sure.”

  So he moved his hand slowly toward the clasp in my hair and then gently with his touch light as a feather, took it out and placed it on the stand beside the couch.

  “Their! Even more beautiful.” He stated, as my hair that was pinned up in the clasp, fell down over my shoulders still in curls.

  We stared at each for just a moment. I was mezmorized once again by his beautiful eyes. Then their was a knock at the door.

  “Who is it? “He asked, still starring at me, as if he refused to look away from me. I just thought to myself is this really how he feels or is he just putting on a good act. I hope he really does feel this way!

  “Who do you think it is Mica? Open up.” Said a man’s voice on the other side of the door.

  Mica reluctently looked away and sighed and went to open the door. Their were six people standing outside the door, ready to come in. I reconized them immediatly. They were the one’s who played Mica’s family in the movie. He held out his hand and gestured for them to come in.

  “So this is Raven Mitchell?” The black haired girl said. She was one that played a sister to him in the movie. Her smile was pleasent. She was just as beautiful as her character she played.

  “Raven. This is my true sister Angelic.”

  True sister I thought to myself. “Hey, nice to meet you.” I said trying not to get tounge tied. Mica’s mezmorizing eyes still had my heart reacting.

  “Same here Raven.” She said back to me. She reached her hand out to shake mine. Her hand was as cool or cold as Mica’s.

  “And Raven this is my crazy brother Vincent, my wonderful mother Heaven, father Charles, my sister-n-law Liza and my brother-n-law Carter.” He pointed his hand to each one as he said their names. They all said hello when he introduced them and I said hi back and shook each of their hands, which were all slightly on the cool or cold side.

  “So all of you are really family and not just in the movies?” I asked understanding now when he had said his true sister.

  “Yes.” Mica answered me. “Were actually a close family. We do everything together, including our movies.”

  “Thats nice. You don’t see that alot anymore. Families usually drift apart.” I said smiling.

  “We have our moments, but we never let them separate us.” Liza said to me. “Let me ask you something Raven, if you don’t mind?”

  “Sure, go ahead.”

  “You like to draw, how long have you been doing that?”

  “Yes it’s something I love to do. I’ve actually been drawing for about ten years, since I was about ten or eleven years old. I’ve gotten better at it over the years though.”

  “Well I must say the portrait you made of us was very beautiful, you have a real talent.” Liza told me.

  “Thank you.” I said to her.

  “So are you guys ready to go or what? Let’s get to the party, I need to have some fun.” Vincent said. He looked like the type, who was outgoing and fun and very easy to like.

  “I’m ready. “I said, trying to be myself as much as possible around Mica’s family. They seemed to be very welcomming so that helped make me be less nervous.

  “Let’s go then.” Mica said as he took my hand. He sounded just as excited as his brother.

  We all walked down the stairs and outside. We piled into one of the biggest limo’s that I have seen, then we were on our way.

  “How do you like New York?” Heaven asked.

  “It’s nice, but it seems to be very crowded though.” I answered. She smiled at me. I smiled back then looked over to Mica. He was looking at me, like he was seeing the sun for the first time. I don’t understand it.

  “Raven their is something that you need to know, for when we get to this party.” Mica said.

  “Their is likely to be alot of photographers standing outside when we get there.”

  Vincent interrupted him. “Of course they will be their. They know that you will be bringing someone with you.” He said talking to Mica. Then turned to talk to me. “If I was you Raven I would put on my best smile, cause you being with Mica--- well let’s just say you will be in next months issue of Starz magazine.”

  “I will?” I asked, sounding a little nervous. This will be interesting. I thought to myself.

  “Yes, I believe that you will.” Mica said to me. “You know, I am the hottest young bacholar these days. “He said laughing lightly. “But don’t worry. Just hold on to me and walk when I do, you’ll be fine. Promise. And I wouldn’t mind if they got the wrong impression of us walking so close together.”

  I could feel myself blushing at Mica’s words. My heart felt like it was trying to beat right out of my chest.

  “Ahh, she’s blushing. Your making her feel all warm
and fuzy inside.” Angelic said, with alot of humor in her voice. And she sounded as if she actually knew how I was feeling, but that is impossible. She must be a good person reader.

  “Be quiet Angelic.” Mica said playfully to his sister. Then he looked at me and smiled.

  “So, Raven.” Liza said. “Tell us something about where you live and your family. If you don’t mind, of course.” I could see out the corner of my eye, It looked as though Mica gave his other sister Liza a look that was not very kind. I wondered why.

  “Oh. Well as of now, I’ll mainly be hanging around with my cousin Lila and my mom Chelsy. Theirs really nothing to interesting about my life,...”

  Carter interrupted and I was thoughtful.” Hey guy’s don’t mean to break up the conversation, but were here.”

  “You ready for this Raven?” Mica asked with a little humor.

  “As ready as I’ll ever be, I guess.” I answered him.

  Mica and I were the last ones out of the limozene. When we stepped out, I seen all of the screaming fans behind the red ropes, with security guards holding them back. I also seen all of the photographers taking pictures that would soon be in the magazines. My heart starting racing. I tried to control it. But I just smiled. Mica looked at me smiling and pulled my arm through his and we walked together.

  Before we could get inside of the building, the questions started to fly in our direction.

  One asked...... “Mr. Wolfe, is she your girlfriend?” another asked.... “Is this the girl that won that contest to meet you? What is her name?”

  Mica just pulled me closer to him, putting his arm now around my waist and smiled and kept walking. I’m sure I blushed as he did that.

  “Finally.” He said still smiling. “Let them make what they want of that.” He chuckled. “But I can say that sometimes all of the pictures and the questions get old and frustrating, but it’s part of the job I guess. Anyways are you okay? Not about to pass out or anything?” He asked teasing.

  But I answered. “I’m fine. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. I am a little nervous about other things though, Like comming here. I’m not used to going out places. Especially places like this.” Why on earth would I say that out loud like that? Am I trying to run him off or something? Of course I’m not. I had to take a deep breath.
