in her apartment. deadly silence lived between us. Her standing over with her arms crossed and me seated on the couch wondering when she would finally break the silence. it kills me, she just kept staring without saying a word "What is the meaning of what you just did? "
"hh" I sighed in relief. She finally broke the silence " What did I do wrong?"
" Are you seriously asking me that?" she frowned
" I did nothing wrong," I said confidently
" you did nothing wrong?.....for God's sake you crushed his bones " yelled
" he started it " I defended
" He is human " throwing her hands in the air "You can't compare strength. you should have gone easy on him "
" he is weaker than I thought " In a low tone, I lowered my head, noticing she was upset. why does she care so much about that guy? " I didn't even apply any strength "
" you.....you..... " looking at me in disbelief. " are you... " she pauses, looking around in frustration " In fact why are you here?" throwing her question
" for you of course, why would I be here? " she raised an eyebrow at her words
" you wanted to see me?" confused " Did you miss me?"
" Pardon? " shocked at her words. I actually did miss her but didn't expect her to guess that
" well I can't think of a reason, why you would come for me. I didn't call you... " she said "Do you have something to discuss with me?"
" mmm... I just came to see if you are alright. I can't trust the Edward guy and who knows what he may do to you while I am away "
" Edward is not a dangerous person and you know that " she defended, which made me frown and I stood up, now looking down at her
" you do not know that for sure. you shouldn't trust anyone " almost raising my voice
"And here I stand with you, a demon " she marks and I pause. She was right. if there was anyone she shouldn't trust it would be me. but the fact about it is that I would never hurt her. staring at her, I didn't know what to say
" I never asked you to trust me, you did at your own will" saying whatever came out of my mouth. I watched all the colour in her face drain, replaced with disappointment and hurt and I instantly stopped breathing
" ha " a short depressing laugh, she looked away from me, biting the edge of her lips " hh" sighed " wow.... I don't understand why it hurts " whispers to herself
" Cleo....." realizing my words hurt her. it was unintentional
" I should go to bed now. it's late " faked a smile
" Bonnie.... that came out wrong.... forgive me " trying to stop her from leaving
" no, you are actually right.... " smiles softly " Good Night " With that she walked away, to her bedroom. leaving me frustrated. I never knew my words will sadden her
" Hhha" sigh in frustration. I sat back on the couch, to think. I didn't lie. I never asked her to trust me, I am a demon for fuck sake, but I didn't blame her. Sitting there in deep thought, the rain finally began to pour
*******************
" Sir, what happened to you?" the securities asked Edward as he arrived at his mansion and got out of the car. it took him longer to return because he had stopped at the hospital to get his hand checked and it didn't look too good. I hurt him more than I planned to but didn't feel bad.
"It's nothing, just a little accident," he said with a smile as he walked inside, while they followed behind him.
I teleported into his bedroom, hearing his approaching footsteps, my eyes explored the luxurious room. Classy. it would have been my style but a darker version, dude had too much light. I made my way to his reading table and sat on his chair " hh" I sighed in relaxation. the chair was quite comfy. I leaned back with both legs on the table, chilling like the property belongs to me while I listened to his footsteps draw closer and closer until the door finally opened. immediately he was taken aback by my presence in the room
" holy shit " he flinches, debating whether to come in or run
" Nice place you got here, " I said out loud, smiling brightly "How is your arm?" my eyes fell on his bandaged hand
" Who...who are you " nervously
" oh seriously " disappointed at his choice of words " you have forgotten my face already.... I didn't think you would, not after that " referring to his hand as a hit to remind him of who I was. He thought for a few seconds, then it hit him.
" You?" shocked "What are you doing here? How did you get in here?" he panicked
" sir..... are you alright? " a guard spoke from downstairs
" I advice that you don't create a scene, just get in and close the door" I watch him hesitate
"Sir?" the guard sounded worried this time. I raised an eyebrow at him while listening to his thoughts. he debated on what to do next "Sir?"
" your guard is calling " smiling. he sighed and then responded
" I am alright, just talking to someone on the phone "
" ok....sir "
Edward entered, closing the door behind him as a million thoughts ran through his head. he turns in my direction, trying to fake courage " How did you get in here and what do you want?"
" even if I tell you how I got in here, you won't believe me... let's skip that part. I want to talk to you " crossed my arms, feeling like a boss on his chair
" talk? " surprise " to me?..... I thought you hated me " He steps forward, and now he was more relaxed
" I don't like humans in general except one" He looked at me like I am crazy "But I hate you the most, " I said "But... sometimes there are issues that make one do something even if he hates it "
" And what is this issue that made you come to me....the one you hate the most "
" Cleopatra " that name was enough to get him interested
" what about her?"
" I came to see if you are worthy of her"
" excuse me?" he was offered by my words " And who are you to do such a thing? "
" I am someone who has killed and who will still kill for her..... " I said reluctantly and he took me for a joke
"Really?" he mocked " And how many have you killed?" I put my leg down and leaned forward in the chair with my eyes locked on his. I didn't have a mirror to see myself but I could tell my sudden change of atmosphere frightened him
" you really want to know?" calmly "How about you hurt her then you find out when you reach the underworld " he tried to show no fear "Don't piss me off "
"Who are you?"
" my identity is of no use to you, " I said "Back to business. you like her enough which is one thing for me, then you are a bit ok financially and I see how much security you've got, I won't have to worry too much about her safety in this world " I analysed
" bit ok? ... financially?" offended by my analysis "Do you know what my net worth is?"
" you are a nice guy " Ignoring his bluffing " I can work with you "
" what is this?... recruitment for an FBI or something?"
" Cleo is very important to me " I continued, ignoring him "If you are going to date her then protect her well.... you won't understand even if I explain. her life is in danger "
" What" he stepped forward " Who is after her? "
"as I said, you won't understand even if I explain. I have the matter under control but I don't think I will always have time to watch her. do what you have to do, make sure she is safe "
" ok " nodding in understanding. " but I would like to know who is after her that way I can protect her "
" someone way powerful, only I can handle..... she doesn't know about this and I will like to keep it that way and I expect you to keep it from her as well "
" ok " nodding in understanding. " I will send me the area and watch her every movement. The moment they find something odd, I will inform you " I smile at his sincere words, it was enough for me to like him
" I will take my leave now." got up and made my way to the opened window. the moment he realized what I was about to do he panicked
" hey don't...." I jumped before he could finish his sentence
