Can't Hate You

Signals

Melissa

When I woke up on the other day he was already awake, sitting on the corner of the bed and staring at me. I rubbed my eyes and realized that he seemed really sad but I was too tired to ask him anything since I already broke my head over everything that happened yesterday.

Elijah

I just wanted to love her and I never thought it would hurt so much to be in love. I never thought it would be complicated. I always thought it would be overrated. Now I was stressing because she was in danger with me. Maybe that's why I never wanted her to be too close to me.

"Are you mad..?" I asked and she looked at me with her beautiful eyes.

"No..." she answered, shaking her head. She seemed really tired and soft.. I asked myself when she went to sleep last night and if she waited for me..

"You're not mad?" I asked and she sat up. She crawled over to me and hugged me. God my heart was aching.

"I'm not. You know that I can't be mad at you. No matter what you do."

That was true. No matter how stupid and stubborn I was acting she always forgave me. She always tried to understand me. I hugged her back as tight as I could.

How could I break her heart? How was I going to do that? I didn't want to.. even if I was considering to do it.. I had to love her first.

When she backed off she looked at me with shining eyes and messy hair. "Do you have any plans for today? Please say no because I want to spend time with you.." she said and held my hand.

I was planning to stay in my office all day so I could plan and clear my head a little but when she looked at me like that I just had no other choice and to be honest, spending the day with her made me feel a lot better than being alone and thinking about that damn freak.

"No I don't. Is there anything special you want to do today?" I asked and she smiled shyly. "There is something I'd like to do.." she answered and I knew what se meant from the way she looked at me.

I leaned my forehead against hers and she cupped my face. ".. with you.. only with you.." she whispered and I kissed her passionately. Then I backed off and smiled at her. "I'll be right back..“

I stood up and left the room. I rushed down the stairs and saw the girls in the kitchen what was perfect. »Ladies it would be nice if you would give us two some time alone today." I said smirking and they got what I wanted to tell them. »But before you do that.. could you prepare a huge breakfast? Something great.« I said and Sam smiled nodding. "Of course mr. Dalton.“ she said and I smiled at her.

"Get creative!" I added and she nodded again laughing.

I walked back upstairs to witness how she was siting on my bed with her lingerie and shining eyes. She seemed so calm dan sweet, yet so dangerous with her hot body and them perfect curves... she almost made my heart stop.. I was admiring how fast she could get ready.

Melissa

I stood up and waked towards him very slowly.

He put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to himself what made me chuckle.

"You are so.. hot.." he said with a husky voice.. he squeezed my hair behind my ear and started covering my neck with wet kisses.. I could already feel my legs shaking nervously. What was he doing to me? Ever time he touched me.. I let this feeling all over my body.. like I could take over the whole world. The energy that he was giving me was incredible.

I backed of a little bit what surprised him. I took a deep breath a little shyly and said “ Actually.. now it's my turn to please you.." he seemed confused so I tied up my hair and he raised both of his brows like he didn't expect it..

Elijah

She got down on her knees.. I really didn't expect her to do this.. I didn't even spend a second to think of it. Well I did but not in that moment because I was so focused on her.. "Oh my.." she pulled my sweatpants and my boxers down.. I let my head fall back and smirked with the touch of her soft perfect hands..

Honestly I've never felt this way and I codlin understand what she was doing to me. I was losing control over everything with one touch of her.. she only needed to look at me and I was ready to give her the whole world..

I moan and it got harder for me to breath. Even though she had never done anything like this before, she was doing it so good that I had to grab her hair. She was driving me crazy. I could see stars.. my head was spinning.. she was a drug.

I was too hypnotized to realize that she was done. She was standing in front of me again and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and I just noticed how much I f*****g loved her. She was always going to be mine no matter if some random bastard was trying to take her away from me. He could try his best but he was never going to take her away because this girl was f*****g mine.

I could never break her heart. I just had to be more careful. I needed to protect her more this time. Of course I was still thinking about it.. but in that moment it seemed impossible.. breaking up with her now would be crazy.. I couldn't end it that early like a p***y. We were going to see how he was going to threaten me next and then I was going to find and kill him..

It went like this for weeks... we were sleeping together, going out together, loving each other, doing silly stuff that brought us only more together. I did my best to protect her and it went pretty well to be honest..

Of course the bastard kept threatening us.. it got worse and I was really afraid that he would find a way to her but the boys promised me they would be extra careful until this would be cleared..

It was all so difficult. We were so slow with finding out things about them and keeping it as a secret from her was even harder... I had to lie when she asked questions and I came back home very late on some days.. sometimes she was really mad and felt neglected what I hated but I couldn't change it.

I knew that I had to break up with her at some point. It was just for her own best AND for my own best because I knew if something would happen to her I would probably die from the pain... That doesn't mean that I was going to leave her alone.

The boys would watch her 24/7 so she couldn't meet someone else or fall in love with someone else.. -what was impossible of course- or that something bad could happen to her. I was worried since I didn't know how long this all would take us. I wasn't sure if he wanted me to brake up with her just because he was crazy, needed her for his own plans or he really wanted her. He definitely didn't wanted me around her.. but that was never going to happen.

So on a morning with thousands of thoughts I was sitting in the kitchen eating my breakfast with her as Charlotte came in with a box in her hand. It was a grey one with a little red ribbon.. I raised my brow. It wasn't my birthday.. and as well as I knew them it wasn't their birthday either and since I got paranoid through these past weeks I felt my heartbeat getting faster.

"Mr. Dalton! This just came in for you!" I stood up and after she handed it to me she left.

I turned around to Melissa. She was eating her avocados and watching a movie on Netflix on her phone. She was distracted.

I opened it with shaking hands with my back turned to her. I had such a bad feeling.. it was about to make me crazy. I didn't have these kind of friends who would send me packages like these.. there was something wrong about it.. it was so provocative..

I almost let it fall when I saw what was inside of it.. my jaw dropped and I couldn't feel my heartbeat..

Lingerie and a streak of hair.. a streak of long hair.. I knew that lingerie.. she wore it a week ago.. and I could recognize the perfection of that hair color any damn time.. I started breathing not realizing for how long I was actually holding my breath. I started panicking.

"What's that?" I heard her voice and almost let it fall because I felt like I've got caught. I've never been panicking so much. I was so nervous.. A million thoughts ran through my head..

I swallowed quickly. "Uhm.. something I ordered for.. Josh.." I lied. I turned around to her and smiled only to exit the kitchen and run upstairs to my office.

There was a note in it. I started breathing faster..

'Your time is running..tick tock..-K'

My blood started boiling. He had the nerve to limit my time, touch my girl, break in here to steal her lingerie only to send it back to me.. how the f**k did he get in here.. and how the f**k did he get her hair.. I needed to be sure..

I rushed back downstairs trying to stay calm because I didn't want her to notice that I was about to have a mental break down or lose control over my aggressions..

She was drinking some orange juice and when she saw me coming in she smiled.. "Aye babygirl..." I walked towards her and when I was standing behind her I kissed her head. I just needed to check if it was really her hair even tho I already knew it..

"You know what I thought about?" I asked and started playing with her hair.. "Tell me!" she said already sounding really excited. While I started lifting up her hair I thought about my next lie..

”We could.. stay home all day .. and..“ the last part got stuck in my mouth because I saw that there was a little part of her hair that was way way shorter than the rest. It was on the back of her head.. impossible for her to see or notice.. but enough to make my heart stop again. I thanked god that she didn't notice it yet.. "..and.. talk.. we could talk a little bit.." I ended my sentence not being able to control my deep voice.

My heart began again and faster than ever. How and when did they do this? I thought my home was the safest place for both of us. I tried to protect her as good as I could.. I tried to distract her.. I tried everything..

I needed to keep calm.. "Is everything okay? You're acting weird.." she asked and stood up. When she looked at me I noticed that she seemed worried like she could feel it and that hurt my f*****g soul. My stomach dropped because I knew what I was going to do. I was going to break her heart in a million pieces...
