Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 9: Demon vs. Werewolf

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

It's been one week since he's gone. I don't know anything about him. Calum doesn't know anything too. "Hey" I hear a voice behind me. "Hi Sam" I say and turn around to the person. "Do you want to go out tonight?" he asks. "Did you ask Lea and Jordan too?" I ask him back. "Yeah, they already have plans" he says and bite his bottom. The sign he's lying. "Look, Sam" I say and move a little bit closer to him. "I know how you feel about me, but you should respect that I don't feel the same way about you" I say and look into his eyes. "I know. I just hope that maybe someday it can change" he says. "I'm not saying that it can't change. Of course, it can. But I'm not interested in you this way right now. So, please, I ask you as your best friend to accept this" I say and put on my puppy face. "Fine. I'll try" he says and smile. I smile back at him.

*LUKE'S POV*

It's been one week since I was just few inches from her. Now I'm watching her from the places where she can't see me. But just through the day. Through the nights I'm hiding in the forest where I can't hurt her. I wish I could watch her how she's sleeping. How she's breathing calmly. But I can't go close to her. Mostly I watch her working in this restaurant. Sometimes her friends are coming there to see her, but mostly that one of them is there like every single day. I'm pretty sure he's up to something. Maybe I should go to see Calum at the night. I didn't see him for a week. I know he didn't worry about me. He knows I can take care of myself. But I'll go there later. Maybe at night.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

Well, honestly, the fact that I don't feel the same thing as Sam wasn't the only thing why I didn't want to go out with him tonight. I promised Calum I'll come tonight. He's actually really cool and amazing guy. In the past few days, we're spending a lot of time together and we're really close. I take a shower and then I put on the pair of washed ripped skinny jeans, purple tank top, black cardigan and pair of black Converse sneakers. I tie my hair into the high ponytail and put on some make-up. I'm not a big fan of it, but daily I'm using mascara and black eyeliner. I grab my phone and the keys and leave the house.

*CALUM'S POV*

"Hi" she greets me when she walks into the room where I'm lying on the couch. "Hey" I say and smile. I put my legs down on the floor and sit like a human so she can sit down next to me. In the moment when she sits down I stretch my arm behind her and move closer to her. She looks at me and smiles shyly. I smile back at her. She's so beautiful. I stroke her cheek with the back of my hand and then I turn her face to me. I look right into her eyes. I won't do anything what she doesn't want me to do. I lean in closer to her until I don't brush my lips against hers. She doesn't pull away so I press my lips on hers. I kiss her and she kisses me back. "What the fuck is this?" someone shouts from the door. We both stop kissing each other and look at the person standing there. He's back. Luke is back. I feel my throat getting dry. This is bad.

*LUKE'S POV*

I slam the door behind me. I can't believe what I just saw. "I asked you something" I yell at them. Silence again. I sigh and shake my head. "You know, I thought I can trust you. Both of you. Now I see I can't. You're making out together just at the first opportunity you have" I say and sit down on the armchair right in front of them. I'll enjoy this. No, I won't be jealous. Even when I really am. I have to calm down. I can't let this thing take the control over me again. "Luke, you don't understand..." Calum starts talking but I cut him off. "Shut up wolf" I tell him and he frowns his eyebrows. Yeah, he doesn't like when I call him like this. It just makes him angry even more. "You don't have any idea what's going on here. You think you will disappear whenever you want and people will just wait when you will decide to come back? You're wrong then. Not everything is just about you. You should realize that" he yells at me. "For your information, I didn't plan to come back. I just wanted to visit you. Like a friend. But I see you already have a company" I say and look at her. She's looking down on the floor and just listening. "Would you like to say something, doll?" I ask her and she looks up at me. Then she looks at Calum and then back at me and shakes her head. "Yeah, exactly what I thought" I state and turn my head back to Calum. He's standing there with his hands crossed on his chest. I roll my eyes, stand up and leave. Seriously, I was gone for a week. A week and this prick go already after my girl. Okay, she's not mine, but he knew I'm into her. I thought he's my friend. It's time for revenge. I smile for myself.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I can't believe what just happened. I probably should say something, but I didn't know what to say. He already has his own opinion about it. I was actually really surprised he was so calm. I know he's up to something, but I don't know what it is. I just hope it won't be something stupid. I lay down on my side in the bed facing the window. I close my eyes ready to take some sleep. Suddenly I wake up to the feeling someone's laying down on my bed. Few seconds later I feel a hot breath on my skin and an arm around my waist. I'm scared to turn around. "Did you miss me doll?" he whispers in my ear. I have my eyes still closed. I don't want him to know I'm awake. I want him to leave. Then I feel his hand move from my waist to my thigh. He moves his hand up and down, stroking my thigh. He moves all hair away from my face with the other hand. "Oh please, stop it. I know you're awake" he whispers against the skin on my neck and the vibration of his voice runs all over my body. He slowly starts to place kisses on my neck and I can't handle this anymore. "Stop it" I say quietly and push him away from me. I stand up from the bed and make few steps to window. "What do you want?" I ask him with my arms crossed on my chest. "Don't be silly, doll. You know what I want. You know I want you" he says and moves closer to me till he can reach me and then he pulls me to him and wrap his arms around my waist. "Really?" I raise my eyebrow. "So, you disappeared for the whole week and then you just show up and think everything's fine?" I have to control myself to not to speak louder than I can. I don't want to wake up my parents. "I'm sorry, okay? I just didn't want to hurt you more than I already did" he whisper. "Yeah, because when you left you didn't hurt me anyway" I mumble. "I'm sorry. I really am. But I was always around you through the day and you didn't even know" he says and pulls me closer to him as much as possible. "And through the nights?" I ask him with raised eyebrow. "I was hiding in the woods" he says and shrugs. "Oh, great. Now I understand. I will watch the girl through the day and through the night I will just hide in the woods. Yeah, amazing plan" I'm really mad at him right now. I don't even know why exactly, but I am. "And what about tonight? Did you get tired of spending the nights in the woods or what?" I ask him probably louder than I should. "No, I just wanted to visit Calum" he says after I pull away from him. "Really? So, you wanted to visit you friend, but why should you visit the girl who you are stalking on. Right?" I ask him. "No, it's not like that. You, you don't understand" he stutters. "Then explain it to me please" I beg. "It's complicated" he replies. "Why am I not surprised? Everything's complicated around you" I shrug. Then there's an awkward silence for about a minute. "Why did you kiss him?" he asks with the worries in his voice. Well, the reason why I let Calum to kiss me was, I wanted to know if I will feel something or not. He makes me feel so much safer than anyone ever could. When I'm with Calum it feels like nothing in this world could ever hurt me again because he's here for me, ready to protect me from everything. "Because I wanted to. Anyway, it's none of your business" I tell him. By the way, yes, I definitely felt something and I think if Luke wouldn't come, something else would happen. Something more than just a kiss. Suddenly I feel the cold wall behind me and the soft lips pressed against mine and it goes from there. In few minutes our clothes are all over the room, we're laying on the bed, our naked bodies pressed against each other. He's moving in and out of me and I start to feel the feeling of the heat and the tension building up in my stomach. In few minutes I'm in another world. When it's all over he's still laying on the top of me, our naked sweaty bodies still pressed against each other.
