Lovely

Chapter 7

Selena

I woke up the next morning alone. To be honest I wasn't surprised.

I think I'm in love. Yes definitely in love. With this bed by the way not Gabriel. I hate him.

The bed sheets are so soft and they smell like him, he does smell amazing I'll give that to him. Rolling around in bed cuddling with the pillows with a smile on my face I decided to go back to sleep.

•••

When I woke yet again and Gabriel wasn't there I decided to go look for and do some exploring well I'm at it.

But before I walked out the door I saw a glimpse of my self in the mirror. Almost jumping away from the creature staring back at me only to find it's me. "Holly bunny feet!" My hair looks like a bird's nest and I'm still freaking but naked.

I can't believe he got me al riddled up like that last night and then just left. You know what? He's the biggest jerk to ever exist.

You kissed that jerk. The voice says in my head. " Well... he chaut me at a weak moment." I answer out loud. Mmm keep telling yourself that honey.

Deciding to hop in the shower first, to fix the stat I am in. Before my little adventure. Standing under the water, watching as the bathroom fills with steam. Singing a song stuck in my head well washing my hair. Mmm this feels good.

"Well, well what do we have here?" A deep and unfamiliar voice asks.

"Trucks!!" I probably yelled at the top of my lungs. Jumping to cover myself up. " Oh don't stop cupcake. I was enjoying the show." He says his voice dripping with amusement.

"Who the hell are you?" I ask ignoring what he just said.

"That's my question too, Darling." He says this well actually checking me out.

What the heck.

"Turn around you pervert!" I half screamed.

"Why?" He says with a smile. "What's Gabriel's is mine and what's mine is his. We don't mind sharing sometimes."

I probably just started at this man for a full five minutes with my mouth open.

I don't mind you looking at me all day, mister yummy.

"Shhhh, dammit." I say out loud."I didn't say anything baby girl."

"I wasn't talking to you." I say with a shy smile.

"Mmm" is his only response.

"What mmm?"

"Nothing, just interesting."

"No, no not interesting, can you leave now I'm not Gabriel's, I'm no once expecte mine and it is staying that way." I say coming back to my senses, but it's hard to when a man as hot as him is arguing with you.

"No, I want to stay." He says in a playful and whiny voice. "Are you crazy?" Pulling my face in that way that says. What the...

"No, but I'm pretty sure you are cutie." He has a playful and kind smile for a man that is involved with someone like Gabriel. Wait did he just call me crazy .

"I am not crazy." I say with determination.

"Am too."

"Am not."

"Am not."

"Am too."

Fine I give up!!!

Sighing Loudly " Give me a towel? Please it's te least you can do."

"Please who?"

"I don't know your freaking name!"

"Just call me daddy that's good enough." He folds his arms infront of him leaning against the big bathroom sinks.

"What? No! Are you freaking crazy?" Kliking his tongue.

"Darling. We already established this your the crazy one. Now try and ask me again." He looks serious but I can se the amusement in his eyes. Jerk!

We stood there for what felt like ten minutes. And I was starting to get cold. "Fine can you please give me the towel D..da-"

"Daddy." He completes. "Daddy." I say, taking a deep breath. " Good now say the whole sentence without stuttering."

Glaring at him I say the sentence with as much venom as I can master. " Can you please give me the towel Daddy."

"No." He laughed.

"But you said if I called you daddy you would give me a towel."

"No, I said you can call me daddy. I never said that I will give you the towel. Get it yourself, love."

"But-"

"No buts." He says with a cheeky smile. "Mother buffer." That's it. I don't give a crap. I stormed out of the shower still trying to cover my privates. Ripping the towel from where it hung and then wrapped it around my body. Then froze with my back to him.

When I finally turn around to look him right in the eyes. I noticed how good looking he was with out the steamed up glass between us. I notice the color of his eyes. A whisky color the kind of color I usually just read about in books it's a gorgeous color though.

I then notice I was staring which was embarrassing. His face was void of an expression. I remember what happened before I started at him like a weirdo.

"Did you see them?" I simply ask. He only nods in responsen. Giving a unamused laugh." Ofcourse you saw them there hard to miss aren't they." Looking to my feet next not wanting to look at him, feelings ashamed. "Don't ask."

"Who-" I interrupt him. "Did I not just say don't ask." I can hear him walking closer. "How man you expect me not to ask you. Who could do something like this to you." His voice completely lost it's humor. I was surprised by how much it changed how deep his voice got when he was serious or angry.

"I am only going to ask this once." He said serious. Liftingmy chin with his left hand. "Who did this to you?" He asks, his voice soft now.

There was something about his eyes when I looked into them that made me want to talk my heart out, that made me trust him for some reason. They made me say something I have never told anyone.

"My.. my father."

I just want to leave. I just want to be alone.

Walking past him out of the bathroom with him on my heels.

Now you've done it. Why did you tell him?

The voice says her again. "I don't no" I answer out loud. Walking up and down the room.

"Don't know what?" He asks. Obviously over hearing my weird self.

"I wasn't talking to you." I stop walking, looking at him. "Then to who?" I bite my lip. Can't believe I'm going to say this. " The voice." I say pointing to my head.

This makes him frown. "Wait, your actually crazy?" He is looking at my like I just told him pigs can fly.

I give up. Rubbing my the sides of my head with my fingers, already getting a headache.

"I need coffee." I say turning around walking into Gabriel's closet in search of a shirt. Making sure it is not see true especially with that pervert out there. I choose a button up dark blue shirt. Dropping the towel to the ground, I get dressed fast and walk out.

Finding the weird pervert man laying down on the bed arms under his head legs crossed with closed eyes. A comfortable look. A hot look girl, and you know it. You won't say it but I so totally will!

Coffee definitely need coffee. " where's the kitchen?" Opening one eye to look at me. " I already called they will be sending your coffee up."

Phone, I can use my phone and call Jess to come and pick me up. Brilliant! Why didn't I not think of this earlier.

Smaking my palm to my forehead. Not so hard you i***t!

"Owww"

"Why in the living hell would you do that." He starts laughing. He's probably been watching me scheming this whole time. "You are so totally crazy aren't you?" Laughing harder.

"Yeah, whatever and since when does a grown man say 'totally'. Anyways where is my ..." I say scanning the room. "Dress." I say once I spotted my dress.

Wait what if he takes your phone dummy. Maybe he works for Gabriel. As if reading my mind, knowing I'm up to something. He asks "what are you up to crazy pants."

"What. Nothing." I say a little to fast and loud, dropping the dress to the ground. Nice genius go and make us more suspicious would ya.

Blowing a strand of hair out of my face I try and change the subject off of me. "What are you doing here anyway Mr... who ever you are."

" I'm here to kill you." He said serious. All the blood drained from my face. But then he starts laughing. " I'm kidding! Haha you should have seen your face." Then he mocks my face expression. Making me glare at him.

"I my sweet was looking for my... Gabriel" he said. Saying Gabriels name with a dreamy expression. Wait his Gabriel. This makes me frown a little.

"Are you and Gabriel..." damn how do I even say this. "Are you two involved?" I can feel my cheeks heating up.

"Involved?" He asked trying to act confused but I can see he knows exactly what I meant. He is just making it harder for me.

"Involved romantically, together as in a couple!" He sits up. "Oh you would like that wouldn't you? Me, you and Gabriel." He smiles even bigger. "What, no!" My cheeks probably look like tomatoes.

"Mmm as much as I hate to disappoint you, love. There is nothing going on between us so can I finally get a chance to ask one question?" He says starting to stand up and making his way to me and I can se by just the way he walks wit confidence he is a man with a lot of power.

He is standing right in front of me now moving a strand of hair out of my face. "What are you doing in my dear brother's room? And who are you?" He asks serious.

Brother! There's another one. Oh momma! "Shhh." He said nothing about I just did just lifted a brow. "That was two questions, did you never learn to count? I came here with your brother last night. I thought I would be able to leave today but he made it clear I'm not allowed to leave. So much for my escape plan from my dad. Now I'm stuck here." I say this folding my arms infront of me, looking down at my feet. Probably looking like a bratty little child. That's what daddy always said I looked like.

"Your name miss Smarty Pants?" I can hear the amusement in his voice.

"Selena Kylie Rosenheim." When I feel a hand my chin making me look in his eyes. I search for recognition but there was non. There was only one of the kindest smiles I have ever seen. And do you know how I knew he ment that smile because his eyes showed me he was a kind person.

"Nice to meet you Selena." And then he started to lean in.
