His (Book 1) {Currently EDITING}

Four*Edited*

I walked down main street, taking in the crisp Autumn air into my lungs, trying to dampen the turmoil taking place inside of my heart. Why were people always so horrible? I swear, some people just didn't deserve the title 'human', because most of them are not even short of the word monster.

I was walking, looking down, and studying the cracks in the side walk when I bumped into some one. I mentally cursed myself at doing that once again in the last twenty four hours. I looked up and started to apologize.

"I'm so sorry I-"

 I stopped when I saw those sea foam green eyes again. Any thing that I was about to say froze in my throat. He smirked amused and his eyes seemed to shine.

"We've got to stop meeting like this." He teased

 I blushed, embarrassed that I bumped into him again.

"Sorry, I am such a klutz." 

"Well you were looking down while you were walking." He remarked gently

"Once again, I'm sorry. Well, nice seeing you again I'll just be going now."

I tried to walk around him but he grabbed my forearm and I once again felt the electricity and gasped. I turned back around but he quickly released me. 

"I'm sorry. Habit." He said

I looked at him confused, about to ask what he meant by 'habit', but I kept my mouth closed.

"You seem intimidated by me." He suddenly said

I looked at him, in a three piece business suit, grey with a charcoal blue tie, a white dress shirt, and the distinct smell of old spice cologne. My mouth watered and my heart hammered.

"No, I am not intimidated by you, I am just simply embarrassed that I keep running into you like this." I said with a nervous laugh

"Nothing to be embarrassed about, it's not like I'm bothered by you running into me." He smiled

I blushed.

"So, where are you on your way to?" He asked me

"Just walking...I had to clear my head."

 He looked at me thoughtfully.

"Well I was heading to this office building, but I am a little early. Would you like to get coffee?"

 I looked behind me and even beside me to see if I was the one he was talking to. Was I dreaming?

This man actually wanted to be seen with me, and in public none the less? When I looked back up at him, he was staring at me confused.

  "What are you looking for?"

"I thought you were talking to someone else for a second."

Wow.... that sounded so stupid out loud.

"Why wouldn't I be asking you?" He asked me confused, albeit a little miffed by the tone in his voice

 "Uh...I- never mind. Coffee sounds great, let's go."

I wanted so badly to forget this conversation, but Leo wasn't going to.

"Hold up Ellie, I asked a question."

His voice made me stop in my tracks. There went that authority again, and immediately my legs went to Jell-o. I felt him come up behind me and felt his breath against my ear. It made me shiver, and no it wasn't the air outside this time.

"What was your question?" I asked timidly

 "Why wouldn't I be asking you? And give a good reason." He demanded, eyes darkening
