Insatiable Desire

Chapter#10

My hand was still in Skylar's hold. He was fast asleep and snored softly. I smiled as I slightly brushed my thumb over his lips.

My attention was grabbed by the hideous scars on his wrists. I caressed his wrists and wondered the reason behind the marks.

Who could've done that to him? What happened that he got these? Is it one of the clues about his being?

I was still pondering when Skylar's eyes flew open.

"Fever?" He asked as batted his eyelashes to drive away the sleep from his eyes.

"No." I said as I peeked up at his morning face.

His hair messy coming upon his forehead with wide, black and sparkling eyes. His shirts four buttons were undone. Simply, he looked very sexy and eye feasting.

I knew he still hadn't realised that he was holding my hand although I was on my own side instead of his.

No problem with holding hands?

There was a small pause for a second and that's when he noticed the intertwined fingers. Quickly he snatched his hand away from mine and got up from the bed.
I noticed the button of his jeans was undone!

What was he trying to do last night? Did he do something, because if he did then I don't remember a thing about it. Oh no! I should've slept with eyes open. Just a stupid metaphoric thing to say. How can I sleep with my eyes open?

Skylar picked up his giant black boots and bare feet walked out of my room.

By then I had already started missing him.

"Damn! I'm thinking like a girl in love." I said to myself as I got up from the bed.

"Well, a girl in love. That I am." I said as I looked into the mirror and smiled.

I walked to the bathroom and stripped off my clothes. Turning on the shower I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

After taking a bath I returned to my room and changed into my new clothes. I wore the denim shorts with the crop top.

I went downstairs and went into the lounge. Skylar was nowhere to be seen. He was in his room.

"Hmm. I think I should make some breakfast for him." I put my hands on my waist and made my way to the kitchen.

I started to add all the ingredients of an omelette into a bowl and broke two eggs in it. While I was mixing, I turned on the gas supply to the stove and again began to loose myself into daydream.

Skylar is the person I have fallen in love with? I can't believe it. I don't even know what am I going to do about it. I'm of course never going to confess it to him but still, what am I suppose to do about my heart? What if he gets to my head and I can't think straight? Well in love that happens and a lot.

But I love him and this is just the beginning.
I put the bowl aside and held the matchbox in my hand. I took the matchstick out and lighted it.

As soon as I ignited the matchstick, a loud explosion took place. I fell far on the side of the wall and the wall hit my back hard. I landed with my foot twisted and the pain shot up my leg. I screamed at the sudden outburst. There was fire on the whole stove reaching up to the ceiling.

"Ellanore!" I heard Skylar's voice as roaring thunder and in a moment he came rushing in.

I had put hands on my eyes and covered them. Suddenly I felt two arms wrapped around me. I quickly hugged him and buried my face in his chest. He covered me entirely with both of his arms. He was not wearing a shirt and his hair were dripping wet. He was barefoot, only wearing his black trousers.
