The Devilman's Epiphany ✔️

XIX- I want you

"Wha-" Rex's aggressiveness cut me off. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the car. The fucker didn't even speak to me. I don't even know if I heard Cassandra right. Did she say he actually likes you? I don't think she has the audacity to say shit like that especially in front of Rex. I closed my eyes as I leaned back. He had to be aggressive so Cassandra wouldn't get more suspicious than she already is. "I can't believe you." He said as he unlocked the door.

I don't even know why we left early. "Why did we leave early?" I said as we stepped in. "Why did you leave with Cassandra? Alone?" He snapped and I frowned.

"What's this attitude?" I asked. Me leaving with Cassandra couldn't have made him this angry. "I just need to fucking cool off." He threw his phone to the wooden table and walked upstairs. Good to know about these mood swings. I also walked to my room and we spent time like immature teenagers. My pride didn't let me go up and ask him what's wrong and I knew he wouldn't come here as apologise. I opened my computer and looked at my collage applications. It's not like I'd be able to go but I just wanted to know if I got in. I was accepted to pretty much all of the ones I wanted and sighed before closing the laptop.

How would life be if I had a normal mother? Would I have friends? A boyfriend? Found love? It's not like I give two shits about falling in love, it's that my mom would never let me love much less like anyone. I crossed my arms like a child as I got up and leaned on my desk. I wanted to see Rex. Maybe learn why he was so upset. I had to cross my arms since I would just reach out and leave if I didn't. I went to the bathroom and washed my face since I have oily skin and made up my mind.

I'm going to talk to him.

I walked towards the door and heard a noise. "Fuck!" I heard him whisper yell and narrowed my eyes. It sounded like he dropped something. He sighed before walking back in front of my door. I took a step back and opened the door only to see him with his hand raised in a knocking position. I'm pretty sure I still had the same frown. "I had a stressful day. Then I wanted to call you to my office to ask you to leave early and grab something to eat. Cameron told me you fucking left. Not only by yourself but with Cassandra." He explained and my expression still didn't change. "Okay. I thought Cassandra needed someone because she just lost her father. I know how that feels, that's why I accepted when she asked to grab something." He crossed his arms this time making his muscles pop and making my mouth water. I kind of... missed him. I think. I walked back to my desk and leaned there.

"I don't like Cassandra, at all. There's something wrong about her." He caged me again. He seems to really like doing that. Or he just knows how much it makes me want to touch him. "Why hasn't Leonardo been around for so long?" I asked because it's been bothering me a lot. "He rarely shows up. Usually when he's pissed at me or when he wants to convince me." He said calmly and I hummed. "I know what you're trying to do." I said narrowing my eyes and crooking my head to the side. He hummed this time. "Is it working?" I-... my body reacts to him in ways I've never experienced or felt before. "No. You're the biggest asshole ever. I'm still pissed off." I said crossing my arms. "I can fix that." He leaned in more and kissed my cheek then moved to my neck sensually which made me just freeze. I couldn't think of anything but saviour the feeling. A whimper left my mouth when he flicked his tongue and my hands found his arms to hold onto.

He held my waist and got closer to me, leaving no space between us. He rested his head in my neck and breathed me in. "I've missed you." He said gripping my hips harder. "You saw me this morning." I said knowing damn well I've missed him too. "Yes but Cameron came early today. I couldn't get my morning dose of touching you." I took a deep breath. "That's all you want to do? Touch me?" I asked and he pulled back so I could see his face. "No. I want to talk to you. I want to get to know you better because I know I get a glimpse of that woman only every now and then. We'll see the rest together." I bit the inside of my lip. "What do you want from me, Rex?" I asked. It would be too much to ask from him to have feelings for me because none of them have those type of feelings I crave for. Rex is known as the devilman, he carries that name very well which lets me know he doesn't want anyone unless he wants something from them.

"I want you." He said. I searched for a dirty meaning behind his words but he didn't seem to put it that way. "Why not Cassandra?" I raised one of my eyebrows. "Why not the blond chick you've been hooking up with. Why am I special, Rex?" Putting me and special in a sentence together left a bitter taste in my mouth. "Take a walk with me?" He raised one hand for me to take. I'll never get a answer I guess. I thought for a moment before taking his hand which he noticed. 

What has my life turned into?

One minute I'm kicking ass, right after my heart melts.

"You're the smartest person I know, beside me." He spoke up after about ten minutes of walking.

Hand in hand, walking.

"That's not hard to notice." I said feeling unimpressed. "Also, I thought mafia men liked stupid woman." I raised our hands and he smirked. "I'm not like most mafia man." I grimaced and he laughed. I could only imagine what people thought when they heard our conversations. "You have a weird obsession with jasmine." I narrowed my eyes. "Now, you're giving me very stalker vibes." I said and he rolled his eyes. "Really? Jasmine green tea bags everywhere. Jasmine perfume. You made it your phone background." I was bored. That's why I looked for phone backgrounds. "Alright." I said feeling impressed now. "What about you? Do you never watch me?" I took a deep breath and thought.

"You call your mom every night and whisper to her so I don't hear." He stopped walking. "You weren't fucking supposed to know that." I let out a laugh which made him stumble. He recovered before walking again. "That gives off stalker vibes." He said and I smiled. "You just suck at hiding shit. I heard you threaten Cameron this morning to rip off his balls if he flirted with me ever again." He still seemed upset about that. "That fucker doesn't think before he speaks sometimes." I shrugged. "I think he's funny." Rex narrowed his eyes at me and gave me a unimpressed look. "I'm funnier." I huffed. "Maybe I'd notice if you weren't an asshole all the time." He laughed. "You're worse than me but okay." I smiled with him.

I never really got along with anyone like this and I could tell Rex was noticing me open up. What he doesn't notice is that he was also acting like himself, like the way he was before he was known as the devilman.
