The Tale Of Hearts

Chapter 23

Hazel's pov

The bird chirp was so loud as I stirred on the bed stretching my arms. Yesterday After that scary dream I couldn't sleep, I clearly remember I saw him in my room but he wasn't there when I turned on the lights.
I sat lazily on the bed and the stand clock on the nightstand showed it's 7.00 am in the morning, I stepped in to the bathroom while stretching my arms to do my morning routines. I thought not to have a shower because soon I have to left to Tash's house and then I can take me sweet bubble bath before going there.
Wiping my face from the white fluffy towel I stood Infront the mirror and stared at my reflexion, I slowly traced my thumb pads over my cheeks and focussing on the sensation, it was same as yesterday night but little bit rough than this ,clearly which I felt even in my deep sleep. I shake my head to avoid these unwanted thoughts roaming on my head making my brain crazy with the curiosity of what happened last night.Putting the towel on the rack I stepped out from the bathroom and wore a casual strap dress.
With a heavy heart I climbed down the stairs and made my way to the kitchen ,as from the far I heard aunt Kathy's voice calling my name, a smile made its way to my lips as I headed there, but my happiness didn't last longer and I stopped in my track . 
The devil himself sitting on the dining table sipping his black coffee while reading a newspaper.he was wearing a black body fit T-Shirt and and gray sweat pant with his messy bed hair.I stood there like I was struck by a lightning as the fact that he was home last night is a pill i couldn't swallow properly,bitting my lips I was standing at the kitchen entrance.His eyes raised back to me from the newspaper and roaming along the length of my body burning holes on me, stopped at my bare legs.I mentally slapped myself  for wearing this short dress but it's so comfy and I love it.

What should i do now? Should I just go back  to my room? thinking I took one step back but sensing my intention his eyes turned into it dark shade and clenched jaw he was looking at me with a warning expression. The tension was in the air , my brain screaming at me to run from there but my legs were under his spell like a statue.
"Good morning sweetheart ,you look lovely,come we were waiting for you" sensing my presence aunt kathy turned around and caught my attention with a wide smile ,I looked at her and with small steps I went near her.
"Good morning aunt" I said in a non audible voice. 
She was making pancakes for breakfast. it was smelled so nice and mouth watering, but what happened to martha, with a question plastered on my mind I stood there not knowing what to do, the devil's eyes now reading me not the newspaper.I was shifting my eyes here and there to escape from his laser eyes.
"Oh sweety you know My sweet son wanted to taste my pancakes today " she said with a happy excited voice.
I smiled with a simple node as the devil turned the next page of the newspaper but Only me and god knew he wasn't even reading it ,why he even bother to turn pages, my genius mocking at him.

"Haz sweety sit ,I already made for you too"gulping down I stood there as my mind was in a debate, where I should sit. Making myself far away from him, I sat on the furthest chair from him. His eyes gave me an intense gaze I looked away and shifted uncomfortably on my seat.After a while aunt put steamy pancakes Infront of me.

"Eat well sweety "saying she walked over to the kitchen island and cleaned the pan and other dishes.

"Ahm aunt, what about you?"

"Ohhh I had breakfast with uncle ,,you two eat and I have something to do in garden "

"Haydn be good to Haz okay" saying she washed her hands and escaped from the kitchen leaving me alone with the devil.
He was eating his pancakes silently while playing with his phone ignoring me.Good don't look at me just continue your eating. I was doing my happy dance and continued to eat my pancakes silently.
After felt like ages ,I heard him clearing his throat and stood upon his seat which I purposely ignored and stared into my pancake plate as it was the last meal I would have. Truthfully aunt Kathy is a great cook but with the tension I'm not in a mood for a peaceful breakfast.His foot step faded as I took a breath of relief. roaming my eyes around I saw he was actually gone, my heart felt at ease. Shoving the last bite of pancake with maple syrup to my mouth I hummed as it tasted so good.why i didn't notice it before.Thinking I stood up from my seat and took my plate to the sink although aunt and Martha always nagged me not to do dishes, it's not polite to leave dishes, unwashed after eat. After I was done, I dried my hands and turned around but stopped dead in my track as he stood Infront of me.
Is he not a Human? I even didn't his foot steps.I was looking at him with my eyes widened as he stood there his both hands on his pockets while giving me death glare.what I have done now?My inner voice was screaming at me and then I know he is bad news for me , frowning his eyes he took steps closer as I backing away but I gasped when my back hit the kitchen island and realised there's no any escape.
