The devils Angel

IIII|FOUR

I watch as Sam walks over to him. They share a few words, he looks over grins, showing me a thumbs up then walks back over to me.

"So! His words were 'she's gorgeous, why wouldn't I stare at her' but I wasn't supposed to tell you that...he also said 'who the fuck is she? I've never seen her before' so I told him your Paige's friend, Delilah and that your seventeen"

I look at him confused, replaying his words in my head.

"Sam, I'm nineteen..."

"No...you said your sevente-...oh, well I'll go tell him your nighte-"

"No, that's ok, I can tell him myself thank you"

I stand up, going to the kitchen to grab a drink for Paige, hoping if I give it to her she'll drive me home soon. Briefly hearing Sam shout to me saying 'but I want to tell him'..he's more of a kid then my two put together.

As I close the fridge door, I see someone leaning against the table opposite me. I look up and realise it's that 'Xavier'.

"Should you be drinking?"he asks, looking me up and down.

"Should you be staring at me?"I fire back at him.

Who does he think he his? Telling me what to do and not to do?

"What's a seventeen year old doing at a twenty year olds party full of adults?"

Looking at him confused, I remember Sam told him I'm seventeen.

"I'm nineteen, Sam didn't listen. So that answers your question to me drinking as well, even though if I was seventeen I don't think it's any of your business anyway and it's not even for me"

He hums, he fucking hums!

"You think I'm gorgeous"

His eyes shoot to mine, stunned and alert.

"What"

I smirk, getting on his nerves.

"Sam told me, apparently you said 'she's gorgeous, why wouldn't I stare at her', ring a bell?"

Xavier's jaw clicks, he runs his tongue along the inside of his cheek. Clearly that's pissed him off, good.

"I'm not wrong, am I?"

Now he's stunned me, he actually thinks I'm gorgeous?

"Well, I need to go find Paige so she can drive me home"

"It's only midnight? What are you, an old lady?"

Without replying, i walk off on my search to find Paige.

I find her still talking to the same girl.

"Paige hunny, can you take me home? It's late and you know in the morning I'll struggle."

She looks up at me and frowns her eyebrows.

"Shit, I'm so sorry. Delilah I forgot I had to drive you home and I've had one too many drinks." She looks around and her eyes land on someone behind me. "But my friend can drive you home! Xavier!"

He walks over and looks and me then looks at paige.

"Could you please..drive my dear friend home? I can't and she needs to be up early to er..." she looks at me, wondering if I want him knowing about the kids waiting for me or not.

I shake my head and she looks back at him.

"She needs to be up early to go work"

—————————————————————

"What kind of flat building is this? It's horrible!" His face shows disgust as we walk through the halls.

"Yeah well I did say you didn't have to walk me to the door."

"Knowing this building, you could get killed. I'd rather make sure your safe and locked in your flat than let Paige kill me"

"The only one who would kill me is you, everyone here is lovely" I smirk up at him.

We reach my flat and I grab my keys, twisting the lock and open the door.

"Dad?" I call out, hearing footsteps coming from down the hall.

"Hey sweetheart! How was your night?" He smiles and hugs me, putting his coat on.

"Good, it was good. Paige couldn't drive me back though so her friend had to"

My dad looks behind me and puts his hand out.

"Hi, I'm Delilah's dad, mr Jones"

"Mr Del Marto, sir"

There's a bang from another room, making me alert.

I look over to my dad and run down the hallway, just about hearing my dad telling Xavier to leave.

Opening the door to the twins room I see Lily in Jackson's bed, cuddling him.

"Mummy! Jackson was having a nightmare again.... I didn't want to leave him on his own"

She looks up at me wide eyed, she's always been caring of her brother.

"Can I sleep in the bed with him tonight?"

I smile at her, looking between the pair of begging and pleasing eyes.

"Of course you can sweetheart, now both of you go back to sleep, you have school in the morning"

Waking out of the room and pulling the door to, I walk back into the living room to see Xavier sat on the sofa and my dad at the door.

"I wanted to say goodbye before I leave, I'll see at the garage tomorrow ok?"

I smile at my dad, he's always been caring.

"Ok dad, thank you for staying here for me whilst I went out."

"Of course, your nineteen, you shouldn't be stuck in the flat all the time"

"I know, don't worry. See you tomorrow"

I kiss his cheek and he walks out of the door, closing it behind him.

Looking at Xavier I see him looking at the twins door. I walk over to the sofa and sit next to him.

"What's in that room?" He looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing, just a guest room"

"Really? So you wouldn't mind me staying in their tonight? It's late, I don't want to drive. I'm tired, It's unsafe to drive when tired"

I look at the door in panic.

"No! You can't stay in that room"

"Why? What's in the room Delilah?"

"Nothing"

"Ok, so If I look in their, there's nothing?"

"Mhm"

"Ok"

He gets up, walking to the door.

"Xavier! Wait!"

He turns to look at me, still walking but backwards.

"You can't go in their"

He opens the door, but stays with his back facing it.

I just stay looking at him, hoping he doesn't turn around.

"Mummy?"

Shit

This gets him to turn around.

"What the fuck"
