My heart began to beat faster and for a quick second, I thought it would explode. The scary look on Devin's face was more to make me pee in my pants. He didn't even smile as he had the same angry reaction as I saw him the first day.
The only difference is his fists no longer had bandages and his black polo was free from bloodstain. Aside from that, he had the same dreadful glare and his eyes were dark, Not as in black, it had the dark features of a beast.
After staring at him for more than enough, I awkwardly cleared my throat and put my hands behind me.
"Huh! Hi" I raised one of my arms "I am Emilia but my friends call me Emily" I looked at his cold face and grinned "Anyway I have no friends so you can just call me Emilia"
Devin just stared at me in silence for a while then walked away, he moved to the other side and began to clean.
I didn't know what I could do because at that point, Devin still had his palms around my waist and my feet were dangling in the air. It almost seems like he had forgotten he was crying to me because I was light. "Excuse me!?" I wiggled my legs as I looked down to see his face. He still had an angry reaction on his face, there was something more but I couldn't tell because his hair was covering his face and he turned and walked away immediately he dropped me. He went back to his previous position and stood still, leaning on the wall with his legs and arms crossed. I turned to look at Xavier who had the most dreadful look on his white face, it even look like he would snap Devin's neck within the twinkle of an eye. He moves closer with his shoulders high like they could no longer lap beside him. "X-Xa Xavier?" I stuttered "I needed to keep the books up" I moved back.
XAVIER'S POV I couldn't help myself, the pain of seeing Emily in someone's else arms made me want to punch the hell out of his face. The worst part is that it wasn't even someone else, it is Devin the Devil. I yelled and threw myself on my bed again, well that's all I can do for the mainnn time because I wouldn't want to punch Emily's precious mirror or didtory other things that belongs to her. This is not supposed to be so, at least, it's not supposed to hurt like this, especially when things are not right. "Emily is my baby sister" i remained himself as I faced the bed, I yelled again but it came out as a whimper. I don't know how it happened or what is happening but I'm loving Emily every day. Each day I see her, I love her more. That was initially the main purpose of playing pranks on her
EMILIA'S POV My eyes went wide open as Xavier's lips smashed into mine. At first, I was scared and my entire body went rigid. I didn't know what to do at that point until I felt his fingers in my hair pulling me closer to him. His other hand was at the back of my waist as he drew me more to him making me lose balance and collapse on his huge and strong body. I could not tell what happened or how it happened but all I know is that I began to move my lips with his. A sudden weakness purge my body and my knees grew weaker. A foreign sound escaped my lips and I began to feel a weird sensational feeling in-between my thighs down my virginal. I squeezed my virginal to reduce the strange feelings but it increases. It's obvious I don't know what I was feeling but no matter what Xavier was doing is wrong, I want more of
The next morning I woke up angry and sad, I still can't believe Xavier called last night a mistake. The first time I have ever done it and it happened as a mistake. Why am I being so dramatic!?It's just a kiss and I must have kissed my Mom and My birth Dad before, I even can't you how many time I had kissed my step Dad in the chin especially when he buys me a baggy short or ice cream. The last person I want to see is Xavier so I stayed on bed and nurse my sad self. My lower lips was in my mouth as u suck it hard, the reason was that I don't want to cry, at least not now. "I can't be crying over a step jerk!" I said aloud to myself as I stood up the bed. I cleaned my nose with the back of my wrist and and sniffed making a grunting sound as I walked to the bathroom. I didn't bother looking towards Xavier's directio
Usually, it was supposed to be Xavier's alarms that would wake me up but my mom's call did this morning. With the way she was sounding, I knew she would have been checking my teeth, tongue, and nails if she was around, she never just want me to grow up. "We are so worried Emily," Mom said "It's awkward" she paused "But you know we stayed over three days without hearing about any pranks complain from you both" My heart literally somersaulted as she talked about Xavier, not seeing him on his neatly arranged bed drives me crazy but at the same time gives me hope and relief. After what happened on Saturday, I never thought I would be able to look him in the eyes. It just hurts how people fall so quickly for love and get played for it. No wonder Brick and Lace said love is wicked, if there is another word for the wicked I will use it. &n
Immediately we got to school, I jumped down the car and rushed to my class before he could even say anything. All throughout the ride I could not say anything. I kept hiding my face, blinking back the shameless tears that we're threatening to fall. "See you in detention" Xavier said. I didn't wait to listen to what he said after that all I want is to just leave his presence for real. With my head low and my bag pressed to my chest, I rushed to my locked to take the books I would need today. Immediately I opened my locker, I was greeted with lots of trash. I can't believe someone had the guts to fill my locker with mainly food remains to get back at me. Without ranking my head I know whose hand work it is. "Nili and Eva would not rest until I kill them" I groaned in raw frustration. Immediately, I slammed my locker close to notice what I didn't see earlier. Someone
It's not a nice place but since I would have my rest of mind there, I would surely prefer to stay there. As I left it before, the place is at the back of the schools cafeteria, you can hear what ever that is been said from inside. It looks like an abandoned basketball pitch, well it is, but just they it has green grass lemon grass. The blocks to seat were still there same as an old kiosks. "Better to be alone and peaceful then with people and not peaceful" I shrugged as I sat down on one of the blocks under the shade and began to eat. I really haven't eaten half of my bacon when I noticed someone seating at the opposite end of my direction. He person was starting straight to my direction and they freaks me out. "Not now!!" I muttered. I was about ignoring the pers
DEVIN'S POV "Bacon" Emilia said as she gave some to me. For a while, I stared at the bacon them her pretty face. It's still a big surprise and joy for me that I am seating literally close to her. Since the first day I saw her, i couldn't get my eyes off her. I know it's kind of weird but I enjoy staring at her all the time. The day she bumped on me looking like she just did something I don't want to think about, I felt like killing the person. Ever since them, I can't get my mind off her, thinking about how reserved and beautiful she is. Unlike other girls, she never goes in squad except her brother that brings her to school and take her back. It was just a coincidence that I happen to beat up an unfortunate boy that had the guts to say ill things about her. After making sure to give him black eyes,
I turned to Mom who was wiping her eyes. She had tears welled in them and Dad just hugged her. "It's over," he told her. "You don't have to worry anymore.""It just feels so unreal. I can't believe everything is fine now.""Me too."I honestly couldn't believe it. It was just too good to be true and I didn't know how to feel about it.She gave me a nod and pulled me into a hug. I remained there for a while before Dad asked us to get ready to leave. We strode happily to where the car was parked.We got home and I walked to my room it felt good having a separate room, I liked how it felt. I heard a scream and rushed out to see what was happening."Mom?""Emily! Xavier just got admission into a college in the Los Angeles!"My jaw dropped in excitement and I turned to Xavier. It was good news but Xavier didn't look happy. I turned my gaze to him and my eyes met his. He was staring blankly at me."What's wrong?" I asked him. "This is good news, Xavier.""I guess."His reply was cold and his
ONE MONTH LATER.The cold wind and fresh aura made me smile. I stood beside James watching his jet. Apparently, he was getting ready to leave and I didn't know how to feel about it.It was just the two of us standing there and there was silence. I wish I could hear everything he was thinking of. I felt the sensation and I knew more than ever that I was going to miss James.His lips formed a small smile like he heard what I was thinking and I just twitched my lips. I needed to enjoy the moment because it may be the last time I'd see him. I also knew his ailment had given him a short period of time to live and I really felt bad.I had no idea why I was feeling all those emotions at that point. There was this strong urge to hug him and just remain in his hugs. I remembered how welcoming and warm his arms were but I stopped myself. I didn't have to be overly emotional.I was trying hard not to think about James dying but I couldn't help it and before I knew it, a sob escaped my mouth. Tea
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Xavier. He was staring at me with a small smile tugged on his lips. I got scared at first but the feeling faded and I felt okay."Why are you staring at me?" I asked with a frown."Why didn't you report James to the cops?"I knew he was going to ask that, I just didn't think it was going to be by 3 fucking a.m."I can't.""Why?""I can't even though I want to kill him myself. I know everything, I know the shitty things you did, I know you sold drugs."He twitched his like and continued looking at me. "Do you still sell drugs or do you deliver them in your sleep?"I grabbed the blanket and placed it on my body, turning to the other side to sleep."I need to sleep, leave me alone."He scoffed and I rolled my eyes. "I hate you."I heard him giggle, "I love you too," he responded.* * * *The door slamming open made me open my eyes. It was morning but I was hoping I could sleep a little longer."Emily, get up."Mom grabbed my hands before I c
The moment Mom asked if I saw James, my chest heaved. "No," I replied and twitched my lips. I didn't want to keep talking about him because of the emotions I felt whenever I thought of him."Emily."We turned and it was Xavier. I ran to him immediately and threw my hands around him. He hugged me back, even tighter. I couldn't believe I missed Xavier this much, it was hurting."I'm so sorry," he said as he hugged me. No one else was going to understand, not even Mom. "It's not your fault," she told him."The police found someone involved."My heart raced faster, I felt bad for James. He was going to die and I didn't want him to die in jail."Hi, excuse me." The doctor walked into us and turned to Mom. "There's been no form of abuse, she's fine.""She's fine?""Yes, she is," The doctor confirmed and gave a friendly smile.Mom gave a nod and appreciated him. She stood up from the chair and looked at me. "I need to go and feed Devin, no one is coming for him."I gave a nod, I understood h
I tried to open my eyes and the sunlight hurts them. I tried to figure out what was happening and I realized I was in someone's arm.I freed my eyes again and realized it was James and he was taking me out of the enclosed room. At that point I felt an adrenaline rush in me.He dropped me down and I felt hot tears roll down my eyes, I couldn't believe it. I hugged him right without thinking and cried into his arms.He returned the hug and just remained calm, watching me. I had no idea why I was crying and hugging him but I needed the hug.When I pulled away from his hug, he looked at me and smiled faintly. "You can do what you want now. Call the cops and tell them I rescued you from the teenagers who kidnapped you."Was he asking me to go?"Just go down the road, you'll figure your way. I'll have someone follow you from a distance just so you arrive home safely.""There's no camera Emily, I have my men dismount them so, the choice is yours. I love you."With that, he turned and entered
EMILY'S POVEvery minute I stayed locked in here makes me want to throw up. It feels like I’ve been kidnapped for years, I already lost count of days but I knew it was already weeks. My head split in pain as I tried to recall the incident. I was arguing with Xavier when I got pushed into a moving van. The details of the kidnap were blurry and I couldn’t remember much.I still have no idea how I survived the first day ‘cause panic attacks made me nauseated and disorganized. Their faces all scared life in me, I thought they were going to kill me because of how fierce they looked. The highest punishment I got for kicking one of the guy’s balls was a hard slap.It was hard enough to redden my face but not kill me, I wondered why they were being so careful with me till I overheard their discussion saying they sold me to a rich man and he didn’t want me bruised.I threw up hearing it and the rest turned out to be blurry vision and a bad headache. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a di
I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat the moment she looked at me. I looked at Devin and he was growling like he was going to pass out.She lowered her stance to him and cleaned him up without saying anything. You would never believe they knew themselves before now. I didn't care though, I just wanted to get away and that was my concern.When she was done cleaning his wounds, she turned the first aid box to where I was and used a wipe to clean off the surface of the bruises I sustained.I flinched when her hands touched my face and the iodine dropped on my injury."Fuck."She didn't apologize or say a thing. She just turned her box away when she was done. Devin and I remained silent for a while before we heard footsteps and turned our heads in the direction if the door. She had returned with two plates of food. She dropped it in front of us with bottles of water and latched the door.Devin hungrily grabbed the plate and spooned rice into his mouth. I looked at him wondering if
My eyes glinted open and I felt a sharp pain. I could feel the chill from the breeze cutting straight through my damp body.I felt a metallic taste in my mouth, I turned and realized where I was. I was in a room with no ventilation. My face was bruised and I could feel the dried blood clot on my body. I tied to move but realized my hands were still tied to the pole and I couldn't move.My eyes turned to the growling sound and I saw the hefty man who injected Devin beating him up. He was growling as the punches landed on his body.On the other side of the room, a bloodied man was laying on the floor. Devin was getting beaten for doing that to the man. Couldn't he just wait till we realized where the fuck we were?I scoffed and struggled to break free but the ropes holding my hands together had a grip hold. I paused after several trials and just looked at Devin who looked like he was about to die. He needed to get treated because his wounds were susceptible and they looked like it was g
I walked out of the sitting room glad the police didn't want to interrogate me yet. They probably felt he was saying all that because he was accused and it made me feel a rush of relief.I opened the door to my bedroom and looked around. The mess I made on Emily's bed was still there and I didn't have the energy to clean up yet. I knew she wasn't going to yell at me for messing up her bed because she wasn't there and it hurt me to think of her absence.I turned my face away and walked to my bed. I sat on my bed and fell on my back. I looked at the ceiling, thinking of nothing but how to sneak out of the house.Devin had a plan he says we need to see and talk about. I wondered if he had other motives in mind when he sent his invitation but I was blank. I could ask him to tell me the plan over the phone but he would refuse and say it had to be a physical meeting."Fucking hell," I scoffed in an undertone and turned to the other side of the bed. It was only 8 pm and I could get some slee
