My Devious Soul

Comforting

Elijah's POV:
What?Ezekiel visited Yana's father!

My ears couldn't believe what they just heard.

Suddenly Yana stood up and just walked away from the table,her face showed anger,but also sadness.

"Yana!"I uttered as she passed by.

"Clemente!"Her mother admonished her husband while he just shook his head being annoyed.

I suddenly heard a door getting closed.

I sighed softly and stood up too and informed her parents"I'm going to calm her down."Mr.Claude scoffed and replied ironically"Good luck with that.It's hard to deal with her temper when she's furious or upset."

"Clemente!"Mrs.Claude astonished him again and then moved her gaze to me and said"She's in her room,the fourth door on the right."

I smiled gratefully and made my way to the stairs when I was remarking how huge,modern and luxurious the house of the Claudes was.

I reached the top of the stairs and followed Mrs.Claude's instructions.

I knocked at the door and called Yana's name in a low tone and after a few seconds of silence I heard her heavy footsteps.

She just opened the door and let me get in.

"Are you alright?"I wanted to know even though the answer was obvious.

Yana turned around and I could see tears in her green eyes.

She shook her head and her bottom lip quivered.

I immediately approached her and took her into my arms,placing my right hand on her soft hair while rubbing her lower back with the other hand.

I felt how her heart wanted to burst out of her chest and I felt her tears through my vest getting on the white shirt wetting it a bit.

I broke the hug making Yana staring at me and I gently placed my hands on her warm wet cheeks and slowly started kissing her on the lips

"It's ok,it's ok."I tried to assure her through the kisses savoring them and her breath started to become heavy.

I removed my right hand from her cheek and placed it on her lower back and pulled her closer to me.

I hugged her again.

"I told you...he always does this."Yana said and then she escaped my arms."He always tries to show off and be better than anyone else."She mentioned while I was trying to wipe her tears gently away.

"Just...let him be."I said without an emotion and holding both of her hands.

Moments of silence passed and she calmed down a bit.Yana let go of my hands and said while passing by me"Let's go."

But I grabbed her by the wrist gently turning her back to me and pulled her into my arms.

"No...you're going to stay here until you're completely calm."I mentioned trying not to sound too impulsive.

We stayed in that position for a few more moments until someone knocked at the door and that someone was Mrs.Claude who looked worried.

She saw us hugging and I nodded and blinked with a smile trying to assure her that everything's fine.

She nodded in response and Yana looked over her shoulder,"Honey,are you alright?"Her mother asked her approaching us.Yana nodded and her mom placed her right hand on her back.

"You know him...I know him too,I shouldn't have asked."Mrs.Claude felt guilty,because she thought she made her daughter cry."No mom...it's not your fault."Yana sniffed before mentioned and broke free from my arms.

"Why don't you just rest?You and Elijah could sleep here in your bedroom."Her mother suggested trying to break the ice."No...I don't want to...I can't...we'll go home now."Yana said walking to the door and opened it

"Yana!"I uttered her name."I said now!"She exclaimed stopping by the doorframe and staring at me over her shoulder.

We walked down the stairs.Yana in front with crossed,her mother in the middle and me following them.

"Clemente,Yana and Elijah are leaving."Mrs.Claude announced her husband who was approaching us.

Yana and her parents walked to the door while I quickly went in the dining room taking our blazers.

Yana was putting her shoes on while her parents waited.

"We're happy that we could see you again and for meeting Elijah."Mrs.Claude tried to sweeten the situation a bit while I helped Yana putting on her blazer and her father just looked annoyed,I took my shoes on and put my blazer on too.

Yana firstly hugged her mother and when her father was about to hug her,she just ignored him.

I opened the door and let Yana go out first."Bye!"She drily uttered as she passed over the doorframe.

"Have a nice evening,Mr. and Mrs.Claude!"I wished her parents politely with a smile,but then I looked over to Clemente whose face told me that he couldn't wait to get rid of us.

"Ne recommence pas!"I warned him in French knowing exactly that he will understand me,his face expression turned into a shock while I just smirked and closed the door.

On the way back home,Yana only looked out of the window not saying anything.Her arm was resting on the armrest and I gently put my hand on her hand letting her feel my warmth.She turned her face to me and looked down while I just focused on driving.

As I parked the car in the garage,I remarked that Yana fell asleep.I sighed and got out of the car.I opened Yana's door and pressed the button to release the driving belt.I carefully removed the belt and tried to pick her up.As she was on my arms I closed the car door and locked the car.

I walked with Yana on my arms all the way to the apartment.I pressed a button next to the doorframe which had access to camera which scanned my face and recognized it,the door instantly opened.

I walked into the bedroom and placed Yana gently on her side of the bed.I was trying to unbuckle her heels and in that moment she woke up being confused where she is.

She stood up sitting on the bed and removed her blazer while I took her heels off.She started unbuttoning her shirt and threw it away on the floor and then did the same with her blouse and trousers.

"Let me bring you your pajamas."I said wanting to go the closet as I picked up her clothes from the floor."No,you don't need to."Yana said taking her jewelries off and putting them on the nightstand.

"I just want to sleep."She informed me getting under the blanket only in lingerie and laid down.I nodded and went to the closet putting her clothes back and choosing a pajamas for myself and got ready for bed in the bathroom.

As I laid next to Yana,she was already asleep.I gently dragged her into my arms and kissed her neck softly and I fell asleep too.
