DEVIL'S LOVE

CHAPTER 8

Lisa's POV,

I stood beside him and heading to the kitchen to make us breakfast. He woke up after an hour and we ate our plates. I walked into the living room grabbing my phone, I got a new text from my parents of their arrival.

I took a quick shower and dressed. After an hour my parents came to James's house and took me home. I took a deep sigh and walked upstairs in my house.

"Lisa, had fun?" My mother spoke and tilting my head, mumbling 'yes'. I reached my room and closed behind, shifting to my cloudy bed and I missed my safe place so badly.

I drifted to sleep and woke up at 4 pm with a loud sound of my alarm. I extended my hands to turn it off and lay on my stomach over the mattress.

I got out of my bed and started doing my homework for tomorrow. I went downstairs by the sound of my father and drifted to sleep reaching my room.

Next day, when I was walking to my first class, happened to meet my bullies. My eyes widen as she dragged me along the hallway to an empty dark room, shoving.

My breath hitched at the impact of her iron hand, meeting the ground. She laughed at my weak state and curing bad shits, leaving me a crying mess in the dark. I got myself out, dragging my body to the first class.

I am lucky that my teacher has not yet arrived and tumbled to my chair. I just ignored the pain in my body and thought about James that he would not accept me because I am a total mess.

I don't have the courage to fight for myself. What a girl am I? Who would like to marry such a dumb like me? Am gonna ruin his life as well, I mumbled and the bell rings.

I didn't care to skip my lunch, laying on the desk, drifting to sleep. I woke up with a soft voice calling for me, ignoring that, it was a dream. I felt something wet over my cheeks, startled to see him.

"Hey beautiful, had lunch?" I shook my head looking at his hazel eyes with brown hair which shines like honey, perfectly fits with his tanned skin.

"Umm... H-Hi." My voice shutters and blinked my eyes for a second to wish it was a dream and I look pathetic with bruises. When he looked at my swollen cheeks, his smile fades away.

"What happened to your face? And who did this to you?" He growled and I looked down immediately to meet my sweaty palms.

"I-It's nothing, I... I-I had tripped to the ground." I said but he was not convinced with my answer, still looking at my bruises.

"Come with me." He dragged me along the hallway inside the pharmacy. The doctor examined and cleaned my bruises, handing me the ointment with tablets for it. I looked at him as he nods softly.

I went to my locker to get my books for the rest of the day with him walking beside. I felt nervous as if anyone sees him. He would also be bullied like me and I don't want that to happen. So I got my books, running to my class, leaving him confused beside the locker.

The classes are over and I packed my things to get back to my locker. I was pretty late that all the students stormed out already. I walked along the empty hallway heading to my locker.

I stood still looking at him with his arms crossed, leaning on his back over the locker with his eyes closed. I hesitated to walk, hearing my name, I shocked to see him walking towards me.

"How are you feeling?" He looked worried and holding my hand, intervening them. I blushed looking down.

"I am fine." I said and felt something wet over my cheeks and lifted my face towards him. I am surprised looking at his wink and am a blushing mess. He pulled me closer, leading towards the parking lot.

He opened the passenger door for me to enter and I entered hearing his chuckle. He got on his driving seat and started driving.

"Where are we going?" I asked as this is not the way for my home. He didn't reply to me, still focussed on the road. I asked him again, placing my hand over his, grabbing his attention.

"You will know when we reach there." He said looking at me, chuckling. I blushed looking away through the window. After a couple of minutes, he stopped the car, looking at me.

"Come on, let's go." He animated and within seconds, he got out, pulling the door open for me. I stepped out nervous.

"Umm... What place is this? Or you gonna murder me here?" He rolled his eyes and tickled me. We were a laughing mess and he stopped, catching our breaths.

He pulled me between the barks to reveal a water body which looks so peaceful with birds singing that rested in the branches. With a sigh of relief, I looked at him who is already staring at me.

I looked into his hazel eyes that shine like a sun with his honey hair dancing in the sink with the bird's singing sweetly and I am flattered at the sight, smiling like a maniac.

I felt something wrap around my waist and pulling me near, as his breath was warm over my cold skin. All of a sudden, he brushed my cheeks and kissing them.

Shivers rushing through my vain, he pulled away giving me a charming smile and my heart slip for a minute, still staring those pretty eyes.

"Umm... Are you happy with it?" He asked nervously rubbing his neck, breaking the silence and I flushed like tomato, nodding slightly.

He sat down and patted next to him to make me sit near him. I just smiled and took the place. He turned to look at the lake or river or maybe something else, I don't know.

'The only thing, I know was him.'

We were watching the sunset in silence as the water turns orange slowly and it looks wonderful. I leaned onto him and he hovered his arms around me.

I felt safe in his arms and don't want to leave his warmth which is soothing me. He laid his head over mine comfortably, smiling softly that I could feel and my lips curved to a wide smile.

It's getting darker into a deep red and he pulled me even closer to his chest that I could hear his heartbeat, which is a lulling to my soul.

"Shall we go home or you gonna stay here forever?" He said teasingly which earned him an eye roll.

"You are such a spoiler, aren't you?" I chuckled taping his arms gently and he looked at me for a second, pulling me close to give a sweet kiss on my cheeks.

"I will do this often, so get used to it." He said making me a blushing maniac and smirking at my reddened face, as embarrassment filled my burnt cheeks, made me bite my lips.

"Don't do that again or I can't control myself." He said looking at my cherry-red lips. I nodded as I could not speak a word due to fire inside me that set by him.

We stood and sat inside his car. He drove in silence and it's a comfortable one. I wandered through the window as memories of him made me blush even hard.

"What for that?" He asked confusingly. "What?" I asked and remembered the blush.

"Umm... Nothing. Just wondering about random stuff." I defend myself as it's an utter lie and he grinned, placing his hand over mine, caressing gently.

He drove us to a restaurant and we ate as he made fun of the waitress who took the order for us, giggling over it. I am so happy around him and more comfortable too.

He dropped me over my home and left, waving at me, beaming his bright smile. It's been 9 pm, still, my parents aren't home. I entered inside, walking straight to my room and changed into something comfortable.

I sat on my desk and started working on my homework. Once I completed my writing, I sat on my bed. It's past 10:30 pm and still, my parents are out.

I ignored it and laid down on the bed, pulling the blanket over me. I fell asleep within seconds, sailing in my dreamland.
