All Chapters of FALLING FOR A CRIMINAL.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Reaper. I stared at the blood splattered across my white shirt in disgust. I'll probably throw it out. It's ruined now. I turned to face my victim with a sigh, ''Did I not...warn you not to make a mess?'' ''You fucking bastard!'' He yelled, blood flying out of his bloodied mouth. The blood landed on my pants this time. ''I hope you rot in hell. Fuck you! Fuck y-'' I yanked his head back by the hair and slowly raised a knife up to his eyeball. Trying to calm my breathing, I started to draw circles across his left eyelid with the knife. ''I told you...don't. Make. A. Mess.'' He stayed still, his eyes fixated on the knife. He probably thought I was going to shove the knife through his eyeball.. Or maybe slit his throat. I should slit his throat, you know, give him a quick and easy death but he lost that chance.

I was mortified.You know what made it worse?The fact that Keith, being his usual nice self, tried to help me. He helped me up and kept asking if I was okay and I just had to embarrass myself more, because for some reason, I decided to burst into tears ri

Ava.I hummed as I walked up the stairs, a smile starting to creep up my face when I remembered how Keith kissed the top of my head.I was glad he didn't make things awkward, if he was someone like me, our relationship would have been ruined. I scoffed lightly to myself as I stripped out of my clothes. Everyone had left for the day and I ignored the pang of loneliness I always felt whenever it was just me. Adeola's place was only a walking distance away from here though, so I guess I should be thankful for that.Thing was, she was always so tired after work that I always hated to disturb her on her free days. Everyone always assumed because I was an introvert, I liked to be left alone. Truth is, since my parents died...I've craved companionship more times than I could count.Dating was out of the question though. I rarely went out. The only reason I'd not be alone for all of eternity was if a hot guy would randomly appear in my room.Clubs or parties weren't my scene, and it was pret
