The car came to a halt in front of the most gorgeous looking castle.
The car journey was sat in silence not wanting to reply to what he said.
He got out the car shutting his door walked around opened mine and ushered me out. He grabbed my hand with his free one pulling me out. My feet ache with the pain of running in them and my dress now feels heavy on.
He shuts the door and rests his hand on the small of my back.
Walking through the daws my jaw drops. It's absolutely beautiful. The chandelier hung from the tall ceilings and floor was marble like I don't know how to describe it. I walk forward my heels clicking as I do so.
"Do you like it ?" He asks staring at me as I turn around to face him.
"It's gorgeous" I give him a small smile. I don't like him but I can't deny how nice his home is.
"Come"
He grabs hold of my hand and walks me up some stairs into a bedroom which contrast with the entire building itself. The room is bright and has a white bed in the centre and grand windows that let all of the days light in or night in this case.
"You will be staying here for the time being there's a bathroom to the left and I'm right across from you if you need anything. If you want to explore ask me before doing so I'll need someone watching you to make sure you don't run off from me" I scoff at him. Like I could escape from here anyway I don't even know my way back. He begins walking out the room.
"Wait what's your name"
"Ajax darling"
"I'm Scarlett" I walk over to him and hold my hand out for him to shake.
He takes my hand brings it up to his lips and kisses it.
"You have a very beautiful name Scarlett" he lets go of my hand gives me a small smile and walks out.
I'm stuck here might as well make things easier by being civil.
I walk in to the bathroom that was in the room. It had a bath and a shower,talk about rich.
I slide my dress turn on the shower not caring that it's absolutely freezing and step in letting my whole body get wet. I washed my yesterday but with how I feel I just wanna drown in this water.
I get out the shower and look at the tub and fill it with scalding water. When it's ready I jump in letting my body submerge,my head barely above water.
I feel myself to start to nod off after about half an hour in the bath but I make no effort to move. I'm too tired to. My eyes close letting me drift off,but before I can fully sleep I hear a bang of a door and my body no longer feels heavy.
"Oh my fucking god Scarlett what the fuck are you doing, are you trying to kill yourself" I open my eyes and look at him confused.
"What?" What is he on about
"Are you stupid if you knew you were tired why not get out and get in bed instead of letting yourself drown" his face his furious and his eyes are black.
"I couldn't be bothered move"
"Then you shout me and ask me"
"No that's weird"
He puts me on the bed and I realise I'm naked.
He takes his shirt off and throws it at me and turns around.
"Put it on I don't have any other clothes you can wear right now you'll just have to make do."
I slide it on and keeps me warm from my cool wet skin.
"Erm thanks"
He turns around and is instantly glaring at me.
"What?"
"Don't fucking do that again"
"Why do you care anyway?"
"Because you're my damn MATE that's why I care"
"What" I look at him dumbfounded. What am I supposed to say to that? Yay I'm so happy let's live together and have babies. Fuck that.
He just stares at me like I spoke French.
I stand up,getting off the bed and stand level with him,looking up at him.
"Look I don't care about this mate business I'll be civil okay? You look like you don't have any plans on letting me go but how about we stay away from each other sí?"
"No" his voice is deep and he pulls me close.
"You can think twice if you think I'm keeping my distance from you. Whether you like it or not we are mates" his eyes are still black and peering into me.
I just stare back not knowing what to say. His hand touches my bare skin and my body suddenly feels like it's on fire.
"Wha-"
"Like I said we're mates and this is only gonna get strong the more we're around each other" he says whilst pointing between us.
"So I'm stuck with you for the rest of my life ?"
"Yes"
"No
"Yes
"No"
"Yes"
"N-"
"I'm not arguing with you about this I've already said no,so stop acting like a brat. It's not like you have much to go home to? You've got your dad where does your mum actually come into the picture?, I know you're not dumb and you know what goes on so put your big girl panties on"
My eyes brim with tears,I'm not one to get upset but the mention of my family kills me. My family is far from perfect but how does he know the dirt that's in it.
"Get off of me" I try to push him away as tears slide down my cheeks.
He lets go of me but he doesn't stop looking at me.
"I hate you already" I make eye contact I want him to know I'm serious.
"No you don't you're only saying that because for the first time in you're life someone is actually telling you the truth. This is the rest of your life whether you like it or not. No point in crying about it" he walks off slamming the door behind him.
I sit back on the bed and look out the window
"What a twat"
