Claimed By The Devil Himself.

Chapter Seventeen.

Selena's POV:

'what kind of question was that, how on earth can I trust someone when I don't even know them.'

His face started to make funny expressions, as he panicked at what my answer could be.

'On the other hand he.....
Saved me, he literally picked me up off the floor at my lowest moment and dusted me off, so how could I not.'

"I mean as crazy as it might sound but I do, I know there's things your keeping from me. But I trust it's for a good reason, hopefully one day you will feel comfortable telling me." I spoke as honestly as I could.

"I'm not keeping things from you on purpose it's to protect yo..."

I stopped him before he could get any further with that sentence,

"I get it okay, can we just eat now?" I spat out impatiently, I could feel the heat on my words.

He just smiled.... God that smile could light up an entire room, I didn't get to see it often but when I did... My heart skipped a beat every time.

"Sure thing angel." The name angel was starting to grow on me the more he said it, especially with that lusty tone of his.

We both existed the car closing the door's in sync, I couldn't help but think to myself...

'damn I feel cool, black slick car like this, both dressed smart ish, all we are missing now is the sunglasses.' I couldn't help but giggle a little to myself.

we walked in silence down a wooded path, it was a beautiful place but dark, and only getting darker with each passing moment.

"Okay if this is where you kill me, can you at least make sure I'm not buried in these shorts..."

He just smirked a little and kept walking, suddenly I felt his hand reach out and wrap tightly around mine.

I couldn't help but shiver at his touch, I embraced him and held his hand back.

"It's just around the corner here." He said, as he pointed toward the big wall of trees ahead of us.

"Okay but be prepared for a hangry Lena if I don't eat soon." My words falling on deaf ears, as he focuses on turning the corner.

I could see a light peering out behind the line of trees, 'what is that?'

As we turn the corner I'm met with a beaming smile from my best friend, her smile was enough to almost break me.

I could feel the tears threatening to fall as I took in all her beautiful features, that night.... If Carter didn't save me that night I may have never seen her beautiful face ever again.

"Damn I thought you'd be happier to see me pumpkin, what's with the tears!!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her warm inviting arms around me squeezing me tightly.

I couldn't hold the tears back anymore, I threw my arms around her and squeezed her right back.

By the time we pulled away we had soaked eachother's t-shirts with salty tears, I couldn't help outburst with laughter.

"Wait, why are YOU crying?" I said through half breaths as I held my ribs, hoping to stop the searing pain all the laughing had caused.

"You know I cry when you cry bitch!" She howled back.

We cried and laughed together for the next 10 minutes as we caught eachother up on everything, I decided to leave out the gory details for now.

I couldn't help but notice how Carter was paitently waiting for us to catch up, as I looked over at him he matched my eye line instantly.
