My secret love affair with a ghost!

Ch: 2 My secret love affair with a ghost!

"wh-who the h-hell are you?" I said, stuttering over my words. I was so stunned I couldn't even think properly.

I reached for the bubbles that had accumulated in the tub and started pulling them towards me, trying to cover every inch of my body that I didn't want seen.

What was I supposed to do? If I got up, then the boy would see me completely naked. I hadn't even laid a towel by the tub because it's my bathroom and I hadn't expected to have any company!

The boy, the rather handsome boy actually, just stared at me. It was like he was taking in all my features. Trying to capture every last detail. I just sat there and stared back.

He had black hair, as dark as midnight, and eyes that were such a deep, dreamy green, that I could just stare into them forever. He was slim and muscular, and had a tattoo on his right arm. Of what exactly? I couldn't tell.

This was completely awkward. It's not everyday that a boy just pops up into your bathtub! Every girls dream...right? Ha, not this one!

After what seemed forever the boy spoke.

"My name's Sirius." He said.

"I suppose you want to know my name too now, huh? Well too bad because I don't plan on giving it to you," I said matter of factly. " But I really would love to know why on earth you are in my bathtub! Why I didn't hear you get in, and what the fuck is your problem? You can't just come waltzing into girls' bathrooms! Especial-"

He interrupted.

"I didn't "waltz" anywhere, and I'm in here because I want to be. I'm tired of just watching you from a distance! I want to know you! I do know your name though Sierra. You just don't have the pleasure of knowing me back...yet."

"And what makes you think I want to know you? You've been watching me? How creepy is that? Watching me where?" I asked suspiciously.

"Everywhere. You could say that I'm your...protector of the sorts."

"Protector? Ha! And how long have you been my so-called "protector?" I said mockingly. "Why would I even need a protector anyways?"

"For about a month, maybe a little less, and it's complicated. You wouldn't understand." He said coolly.

"Oh yeah? Try me!" I said. I wasn't about to let this creepy stalker show up in my bathtub and say that he has been watching me and not even tell me why! He could be a freggin rapist for all I know!

"I'm not a rapist." He said.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"How did you know that I...I mean I was just thinking...what the hell?" I was so surprised that I couldn't even form a complete sentence.

"You're thoughts are open to me. Only if I allow them to be though. I get tired of your, (Is Xhex cheating on me? Should I have sex with him? Why are guys such jerks?) thoughts. They're the same every day and it's starting to get a little bit old. I can see inside other parts of your brain too, the places that allow me to see who you can be. Xhex is ruining all of that for you."

I gaped at him. "Are you...are you jealous? You sound jealous to me! And what do you mean you can read my mind? How is that even possible?"

"What? Jealous? Of that two timing son of a bitch? Don't get ahead of yourself sweetheart. I don't like to get involved with my work. About me reading your mind...well that's a different story for a different time. " He said. He looked bored.

For some reason my heart skipped a beat. I don't know why, but his words sent something through me. Hurt maybe? No. It couldn't be. I had Xhex and Sirius was...what was he anyway?
