White Lies

Chapter 12

Lilith's p o v :

I didn't sleep all night. My head is pounding, my eyes are heavy. My sleep is gone in a single second when I hear the doorbell. I groan and go outside of the room, still in my mickey mouse pajamas. I open the front door and I'm greeted by Elliot's chest.

I look up and see him staring at me. He easily towers over my 5'3 height. I step back to look at him properly. He looks 6'4, he has brown eyes, his hair neatly slicked back, sharp jawline. He is in a tailor made perfectly fitting suit. He is annoyingly attractive for a man who commits so many crimes.

"I am not ready yet. I didn't expect you to come so early, your fault for not telling me when you were gonna come. Wait for me in the living room." I say as soon as I snapped out of the trance I was in and went to my room, not letting him answer.

I go inside the bathroom to take a shower after taking my towel. I strip out of my clothes and had a much needed hot shower to melt the knots all over in my body with tension. I wear a tank top with blue faded jeans and take the 2 suitcases with me, struggling cause they had all of my things which made them really heavy.

I open the door to my room and take the suitcases but come to a stop when Elliot stands in front of me. He takes both the suitcases out of my hold and speaks. "you have 10 minutes, come out I'll be waiting in the car." his husky voice sending a shiver down my spine.

Did he just take the suitcase for me? Isn't he an agonizing, rude asshole?

Okay I am clearly overthinking this, he must have a lot more work he was clearly doing it for his own good. I took one last look at the entire house and head outside. My jaw is on the floor when I look at the amazing black Rolls-Royce phantom. I stand there admiring the beauty in front of me for a good few minutes. The window rolls down and Elliot looks at me with a annoyed expression.

"are you gonna just keep looking or get in?" he says, I go around and sit in the passenger seat, beside the driver and not him. The driver gets out and opens the door behind for Elliot and he comes and sits in the driver seat. "you don't do that with me, sweetheart." he says and chuckles. He starts driving.

I don't know what to be shocked about, should I be shocked about how he came and sat in the driver's seat or that the driver is sitting in the back seat, I honestly thought he would leave the poor guy stranded in front of my hom- Kartha's home. I shift uncomfortably in my seat at the awkward silence.

"how long till we reach your home?" I question. He shows me 2 fingers.

"2 minutes?" he shakes his head.

"20 minutes?" he shakes his head again.

"2 hours?"

"20 hours." he replies calmly.

"20 FUCKING HOURS?!?!?" I yell.

"yes. Keep your voice low." he says coolly.

"how the hell do I keep my voice low? We seriously have 20 hours left to get home and you expect me to sit still." I whisper yell. I feel like I'm gonna have a breakdown cause of this long ride of awkwardness.

"I can drive fast once its dawn, right now there'll be traffic. Calm your ass down." he responds.

"if you want me to calm my ass down, I'll play music and we have to stop wherever I tell you to or I'm having mental breakdowns every 2 minutes and I'm gonna become one hell of a crazy woman." I stated.

We stopped at a red light and he turned towards me in his seat, leaning closer towards me. I tried my best to have a normal expression.

"okay, fine. But you do not make loud noises." he says, his breath hitting my lips as he spoke. I nod, he turns and sits properly in his seat just as the green light makes an appearance.
