Chapter Eleven - Don’t Scream
816 Words
Before I have time to do anything, even scream. The voice of the person behind me with their hand clamped over my mouth speaks.
“Don’t scream, I’m not going to hurt you.”
It’s that musical voice I heard earlier today. It’s Edward? What the f**k is going on?!
“I’ll pull my hand away. As long as promise not to scream.”
Oh s**t. I don’t know if he heard everything downstairs. Better to keep hiding my powers until I know what’s going on.
“You promise not to scream?”
I nod my head yes as best I can in my current position.
He pulls his hand away from my mouth and I spin around.
“How and why are you on my bedroom?!” I whisper harshly.
“I’m guessing you didn’t read the note I slipped into your pocket?”
“I haven’t had a chance. That doesn’t excuse you being in my bedroom. Or how you even got in!”
“Mm the window.” He says with a smirk.
I glance to the window and back at him. Maybe my mom was right. Maybe he is dangerous.
“How is that even possible?” I ask. Playing stupid.
“I jumped of course. It’s not hard. Stop playing dumb Bianca. I know you know.” He says, taking a step closer to me.
I freeze. That chill creeping over me again. Not as harshly but still felt.
He reaches out and his hand slides to the side of my neck. Caressing the underside of my jaw with his thumb. He takes another step closer.
“Mm you smell lovely Bianca. Like my own personal brand of heroine.”
I should be afraid right? Terrified even. But all I can think of is his hand on my neck. How I wish he would continue stroking there forever. His touch heating my body and erasing any chills he caused. My breathing becoming slightly erratic.
He steps closer again, the front of our bodies brushing. My breast rising and falling against his chest. He leans closer. Bringing his face to the other side of my neck. Dragging his nose up, breathing deeply.
I’m frozen. I’m not sure what to do. My brain screams to push him away. At the same time my body screaming, begging him to continue touching me. I can feel heat pooling low in my belly. A pulsing beginning between my legs.
“Bianca?”
I snap out of my frozen state and turn towards the sound. My dad is on the other side of my door.
All at once Edward let’s go of me and is at the window before I can take another breath.
In a low voice he whispers “I’ll see you tomorrow Bianca.” Smiling he jumps out of my window. My jaw dropping. I rush to the window and look down. He’s no where to be seen.
Another knock on my door pulls me from my thoughts. “Bianca honey, are you asleep?”
I rush to my door pulling it open. “No dad I’m still awake, everything okay?”
“Yea I just wanted to make sure you were okay, I thought I heard a sound.”
“Nope, all good dad. Promise!”
“Well okay, I’m headed to bed for the night. I love you, Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, I love you too.”
Closing my door I spin back around searching my room. Rushing to the window to double check Edward really isn’t out there.
What the f**k just happened?
I still have no idea what he knows about me, but he knows I know what he is. Well to an extent. I’ll have to find out more when the book my mom is sending gets here.
Why was he in my room? I have so many questions and no answers. I’ll ask him tomorrow. Although, should I stay away from him like mom said too?
Not to mention, Jacob has feelings for me. He basically admitted it in so many words. I don’t want to hurt him if this leads somewhere with Edward. My body clearly has a reaction to him as well.
I’m feeling so confused.
First, I need to find out more about Edward and exactly what he is. Until then, I’ll try to stay away. No matter how drawn to him I am. Second, try not to lead Jacob on. No matter how drawn to him I am as well.
I’m not sure that’s going to work. Ugh!
Feeling mentally exhausted I take a scalding hot shower. Change into my sleep shirt and collapse onto my bed. Thank God no homework on my first day.
I grab my phone and headphones. Connecting the Bluetooth and putting them in. Pushing shuffle on my playlist.
Devil Devil by MILCK starting to play.
That’s not funny universe!
