Who was he to stop her?, she thought deeply. She was never held at such intense gaze since her dreadful love. The memories of those painful days when love was sweet and forever replayed in her mind. Now when she try to evade those thoughts, this very annoying stranger reminded her. But she wished it was someone else who stopped her from leaving.. from running away from her life. Unfortunately he was not going to come back.
" Where are you going? The museum is this way. Come, follow me.", he said , grabbing her hand and pulling towards the road she didn't want to go especially with him. She tried to get away but his clutch was too firm. " Hey, what you are doing? Don't touch me.", she said firmly. " Desole. I didn't mean to.", he quickly apologized with embarrassed look on his face. She walked past him to find herself standing in front of the museum. He had taken her to the museum she wanted to go.
She apologized to him. He smiled. His smile would have melted any girl in her place. But she didn't melt. As she was inside the museum, she was amazed by the displays of sculptures, paintings and engravings bequeathed by Matisse. She was very engrossed in it while he followed her like Mary's little lamb. He only gazed at the expressions of wonderment she made when she saw something nice.
When she had completed the tour of the museum, she saw that he was still with her. " You still here. Strange! Don't you have friends or lover waiting for you ? Do you simply grope young solitary women?", she asked like a curious child but she was actually mocking him. He laughed and replied, " No, I am only trying to be good citizen by helping a tourist. Is it harmful from the place you come from?" She smiled though it wasn't deep down from her heart. " Are you hungry?", he asked. She was certainly famished and simply nodded. Finally they broke the ice.
After lunch at small cafe, he showed her the other places in Nice. He took her to flower market where she bought some seeds of marigold. Then they walked for sometime on soft wet sand near the shore of the beach. They spoke about life and hobbies like the way strangers disclose about themselves to each other for the first time. He flirted at her for quite some time but she didn't get affected or show interest to his advances.
He dropped her at her hotel. As she wished him good night, he grabbed her. He pulled her by her hair where he put his mouth closer to her neck to bite her. His fangs had become visible. She was shocked by sudden actions taking place. She pushed him aside with great effort. "What are you doing?", she screamed. He quickly stopped from what he was doing. He looked at her shocked face. " Nothing! There was a bug. I...", he stammered and quickly took out the small insect crawling on her neck. He thanked the insect for being there for him.
