Chereads / DIABLO: LEARNING TO LOVE / Chapter 8 - intrigued

Chapter 8 - intrigued

Davos entered a fancy club and walked towards the bar. He sat down on a stool and asked for a martini. He raised the glass to his lips, taking a sip as he studied the people present. Most of the faces were similar since he was a regular there. He could go to work then hang out and relax at the club during the evenings. As he eyes swept through the crowd, he saw an amusing scene that made the corners of his lips tilt up a little in a smile. There at the center of the room was a beautiful goddess that was dressed in a black signature bad girl attire. She was seated across a table opposite a rather middle aged man that was looking at her lustfully. She had dark brown hair and matching hazel eyes that she blinked innocently at the man in front of her. She had stretched out her hand touching his fat one as she flashed him her siren smile. Her fingers skillfully moved over his as she maintained eye contact, entrapping her victim. It was at that moment that she removed the diamond ring that he was wearing. She then excused herself probably promising to be back shortly. Davos' eyes followed her through the crowd as she headed to the back exit door prompting him to follow her. He was intrigued by what she had just done. She did not look poor but she may have had a reason for stealing from that man and he just wanted to know.

"I saw what you did." He said as he caught up to her. They were now standing outside the club.

"What?" She asked innocently as she turned and looked at him. Davos smirked as he leaned in and whispered in her ear.

"You stole from that man." The girl stiffened at his words but regained her composure shortly and stepped away from him. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at him.

"Who are you and why were you watching me?" she asked sternly, demanding answers.

"Am not someone you know and I just happened to glance across the room and saw you in the act but why were you stealing in the first place?" Davos asked. The girl was quite for a while as she studied him.

"Unless you are a cop and you are going to arrest me. I am not talking to you any longer than I have to. Just know that I have my reasons." She replied. She then turned and walked away, accidentally brushing his face with her long hair. Davos' eyes lit up as he watched her leave. He wanted to see her again because he had been seduced by her siren ways like various other men. It's like he was always drawn to the wrong girls but maybe she was different, just a gut feeling…

Meanwhile...

Aristo lay on his bed with his eyes wide open as he stared at the ceiling. He had totally failed to get an ounce of sleep because of the buzzing thoughts running through his head. Suddenly, he had an idea as he sat up and walked towards the window that was open. He swiftly leaped out transforming into a ginger brown cat with matching green eyes.

'If he was going to stalk his mate, why not start tonight.' He thought as he made his way to Elsa's house. Elsa was brushing her teeth before bed when she heard a cat meowing. She ignored the sound but later moved in its direction when it became persistent. She drew the curtains of her window revealing a brown cat. It had a beautiful pair of green forget- me-not eyes that reminded her of Aristo. If only she knew it was him right there, looking at her! She opened the window and let the cat in, wondering what such a good looking cat was doing out in the cold. It couldn't possibly be a stray. She got the cat some milk in a bowl since it was probably hungry. Aristo looked at the bowl before him and the girl that had given it to him. He slowly moved towards it and took a lick, tasting the milk. It was good. Soon the bowl was half empty as he lay on the carpet, fully satisfied. He was glad that his mate at least had a heart for animals and she was also kind to offer a cat she knew nothing about both shelter and food. His heart beat accelerated at the tingly sensation he felt when Elsa carried him in her arms but his eyes widened as he watched her walking towards the simple couch in her room. At that moment, he realized he was going to sleep there. He did not want to sleep on a couch, he had never slept on one before. He wanted to sleep on a warm and comfy bed, her bed in this case. Elsa placed the cat on the couch and covered it with a small blanket before walking towards her bed. She soon drifted off to sleep after the long tiring day. An hour later, Aristo made his way through the dark and climbed onto her bed. He lay beside her and took time to study her face. She was beautiful with long curled eyelashes, a small nose and a well-defined feminine jawline. Her pink luscious lips were slightly parted as she snored lightly. Her midnight black hair was tied in a ponytail behind her head. He inhaled her fresh lavender scent that had now become one of his favorites.

'She was a beauty. His and only his beautiful goddess.' He thought as he snuggled closer to her and slept soundly.
