My Devious Soul

Start Over

Yana's POV:
I woke up by the sunlight that tried to shine through the black curtains.I slowly opened my eyes and tried to stretch myself.I took a look around and remembered that I was in Elijah's apartment.

I sighed and decided to close my eyes for five more minutes which passed by fast while I remembered everything that happened last night.

I stood up and grabbed after the key so I can unlock the door from Elijah's bedroom.

I tip-tap-toed through the long hallway until I reached his door.I slowly pushed the key inside the lock,rotated until I heard the sound of unlocked.

For a second,I stood frozen thinking,if I should enter his bedroom or not.

I sighed closing my eyes and pressed the door handle down and pushed the door a little further.

Through the small gap,I tried to peer inside the bedroom,but it was dark,only the light behind outside the bedroom could help me peer a little.

I slowly pushed the door a bit further until I could see more than the first time.

Elijah was sleeping so peacefully that I couldn't even hear his breath.

It was like he was dead!

Elijah's POV:
I was sleeping deeply until my right ear heard something.

A sound,a sound of unlocking,the sound of liberty.

I instantly opened my eyes and didn't even move.

Then it was silence until I heard how the door slowly opened,but I still didn't move.

After ten seconds of silence,the door got closed.

Yana's POV:
I slowly closed the door after a few seconds of examining the room.

I was on my way to the kitchen when something caught my attention in the hallway.

On a tall glass table which was at the beginning of the hallway,my eyes remarked some pictures.

I curiously and with a little frown between my eye brows,I took the photo frame carefully which was placed on the middle that caught my attention mostly.

It was a photo of Elijah and his adoptive family,there was Alexander and an old lady sitting down on chairs which made me think"That must be Béatrice."

Behind them stood Elijah and another young man just like him."He must be his adoptive brother."I thought again.

All four of them looked gracefully and elegant.

Béatrice in a white silk Chanel dress with some black Prada high heels and with Tifanny & Co. jewelries while her husband was dressed in black leather shoes,trousers,belt,vest,blazer and tie.He had a white shirt on and a light brown leather Cartier watch was on his left wrist and his blue eyes would catch your attention.

His adoptive brother wore some dark blue trousers and a blazer with the same color and a white shirt with a red tie.He looked gracefully and arrogant at the same time too.

Next to him was Elijah who had the same elegance like the others.He was in a dark beige suit and had a white shirt on.Around his neck he had a blue royal blue tie which a simple template was designed on it.The collar pin wasn't missing either.His blazer was open showing his vest which had the same color like the suit.

His pose and face showed grace and deviousness.

I slowly put the photo frame back and recognized that next to it on the left side a photo of Elijah and Sasha.Both of them were on black horses,dressed sophisticated and without helmets.They were smiling and happy.

I smiled too as I stared at the picture and slowly put it away while my smile faded too.

On the right side of the same table was a picture of him and Bruno on sport motorcycles dressed in the equipment and holding their helmets in front of them on the vehicles.

Bruno and Elijah were smiling and seemed like they were having a strong bond even though Bruno works for Elijah.

I continued my way to the kitchen feeling satisfied,because I found out more about him,but in a positive way since the incident from yesterday night.

I finally reached the kitchen and prepared myself a coffee while I admired the kitchen's design.

I sat down at the kitchen island scrolling through my phone while holding the mug in my left hand.

I slowly tried to raise the mug trying to reach my mouth when suddenly I heard some footsteps coming from upstairs.

My gaze moved from the screen to the direction where the steps came while I held the mug in front of my mouth.

My eyes directly recognized Elijah walking toward me looking a bit sleepy,but he was still graceful.

I put the mug away and smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Mornin'!"Elijah wished with a husky tone as he arrived in front of me."Morning!"I uttered smiling,"You want some coffee?"I asked politely looking briefly at the mug."Yeah,I'll go and-"He wanted to say,but I interrupted him telling"I'll make one for you."I smiled and stood up walking to the coffee machine.

"What flavor would you like to have?"I asked friendly."The vanilla one,please."Elijah responded and she took the vanilla capsule and placed it in the coffee machine.

None of us talked while the coffee was being made.

I handed him the mug and he thanked.

I sat down at the other side of the island while he took a sip.

Then he asked"How did you sleep?"I smiled and replied"I slept well,like really well."

He nodded while staring in his mug.

"It's the first time after a long while when I slept longer."I added explaining."Yeah,me too."Elijah mumbled.

An awkward silence stroke in the kitchen,I didn't know what else to say and he just looked into his his coffee like avoiding eye contact.

I stared at him and felt guilty,because I reacted wrong the other night.

In my eyes Elijah isn't a bad guy,maybe he just doesn't know how it is to be loved,like being really loved.

I sighed and started speaking trying to catch his attention"I'm sorry!"He looked up and watched me directly in the eyes."For reacting like that last night."I added showing him my apology.

"It's alright,your reaction was the right one,it was my entire fault."Elijah tried to assume his blame.

"No,it isn't.You showed me that you aren't a bad guy this entire time and only because you have made a mistake,I accused you for being one and now I feel so guilty."I tried to explain what I feel sincerely while Elijah just looked at me being completely calm.

I knew,it was worthless to talk about it,but maybe he could forgive me.

I slowly tried to move look away until Elijah stopped me by requesting friendly"Do you...want...to start over?"

I immediately looked back at him and he waited for my response,I didn't think much about it and nodded showing a smile just like he did.
