I was frozen, standing there in his doorway.
"Uhm." Was all I could say. We stared at each other for a couple seconds but it felt like a couple hours. He groaned and climbed back into his room.
"Get in here and shut the fucking door." He growled. Oh, great.
I hesitantly stepped into the room and shut the door. His room was dark besides the moonlight that pooled in from his window. The air was cold and I shivered. As he walked up to me, I noticed how tall he really was. His piercing blue eyes were the only thing I could really make out in this darkness. I could see his features just a bit too. He came close to me, like way too close. He looked down at me. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like what I saw and what was happening. I swallowed hard.
"I won't tell anyone that you were sneaking out. I promise I-" he cut me off by covering my mouth. My eyes widened slightly at his touch.
"Shut up and be silent while I speak." He started. I had no choice but to obey him. My body trembled slightly.
"You're not going to tell a single soul any of this happened. If you do, I'll make your stay here a living hell. And trust me, I can make some pretty damn good damage. Do you understand me?" He seethed.
He took his hand off my mouth and gazed down at me. I blinked like I couldn't believe everything that I saw and I nodded my head.
"No, no. You have to say it. Cmon, use that pretty mouth of yours." He said.
My eyes widened again. Pretty mouth? What? I was going insane. My throat suddenly felt so dry.
"I understand." I replied. My voice was hoarse and my cheeks were on fire. I hoped he couldn't tell since it was dark.He grinned, "Good. Glad we're on the same page sweetheart. Now go to bed. It's late."
I was in disbelief as he became his playful self again. Did he seriously just tell me to go to bed? No, I couldn't. I needed more answers.
"Where are you going?" I asked him quietly. I heard another groan from him as he turned around to face me.
"Someone's house. It's none of your business." He answered. I walked up to him and kept pressing though.
"Who's? Is it a girl? Do I know her? Will you be safe?" I pestered him. Part of me was actually worried about him and the other part of me just wanted to keep talking to him.
I heard his sigh of annoyance then his hand quickly wrapped around my throat and pushed me against the wall in one swift motion. My eyes widened and I was completely shocked. He looked down at me and the smallest grin crossed his lips.
"Quite the annoying pest, aren't you? It's none of your business, sweetheart. Don't make me hurt you." He calmly responded. His grip was tight around my throat. I tried to speak but I couldn't. I just nodded my head and he let me go. I gasped for air and he stared down at me. I gazed up at him, my hand reached for where his once was. He left a burning feeling on my skin. He chuckled under his breath and left the room through his window, shutting it behind him.
I sat on his floor for a couple minutes. What the hell just happened? Why was I craving more? I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I felt lost for some reason. After awhile, I got up and went to my bed. I crawled under the covers and curled up into a ball. This was the strangest night of my life.
SATURDAY, 9:03 AM, HOME
I woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. The sunlight shined in from my window. I sat up in my bed slowly and rubbed my eyes. Memories of last night came flooding into my mind. Did I dream it all? No, I couldn't have. Could I? I got up and walked to my vanity mirror. No, I definitely didn't dream it. There was a nice red mark around my neck from where Niccolo had pinned me against the wall. I ran my fingers over it. It was sensitive to the touch. Great, just great.
"Naomi! Breakfast is ready sweetie!" Mrs. Govender called from the kitchen.
I sighed and walked out of my bedroom. I was met by Mrs.Govender's sweet smile. I loved her so much. She was the sweetest woman I knew.
"Goodmorning sweetie. Go take a seat next to Niccolo at the table please." She said.
I gave her a weak smile and walked to the table. My eyes laid on Niccolo and the memories came back again. They drifted to his hand that held a cup. The exact same hand that had been wrapped around my throat last night. Our eyes met and his eyebrows raised slightly. I sat down in the chair and Mr.Govender, dressed for work, came into the kitchen.
"Bye kids, bye honey." He said and gave Mrs.Govender a quick kiss. And he was off to work.
I felt uncomfortable next to Niccolo. I could feel his gaze on me sometimes too. A plate of food was set down in front of me.
"Here you go sweetie, enjoy." Mrs.Govender softly said. Then, she stopped.
"Honey, what happened to your neck?" She asked, her tone worried. I was frozen and Niccolo stopped what he was doing. His eyes looked at my neck and I could see shock in them. A small, devilish smirk came over his lips though.
"Damn Naomi, what did you do?" Camilla asked curiously. Niccolo stayed silent.
Mrs.Govenders fingers grazed over the bruise and I winced.
"Sorry sweetie. You'll need to ice that. It looks bad." She advised me to do.
I nodded my head, "Thank you." I then glared at Niccolo. His smirk was still evident. I tried to ignore him so I started to eat my food.
Later, Camilla left to go hang out with Chiara and Fabio. I hung out with Mrs.Govender most of the day. Shes a wonderful woman. But as it got later, she decided to go to bed. It was just me and Niccolo in the living room again except we were both just on our phones. There was silence till I spoke up.
"Plan on sneaking out again tonight?" I asked him. I knew I was being a smart ass but I didn't care.
He glanced at me and chuckled, "Not tonight, she's busy."
I raised my eyebrows slightly, "So there is a girl?"
"I never denied it."
"Well you didn't accept it either." I muttered. He was getting on my nerves.
There was more silence till he spoke, "Are you jealous?"
I glared at him, "Why would I be jealous of a whore you're sleeping with? She must've hit rock bottom if she's with you."
He seemed taken aback by my response, "You know I'm one of the most desirable guys in your school, right? Girls are on their knees for me left and right. So I don't want to hear any of that shit out of your mouth." He scolded me.
I laughed. I knew he was popular with the girls, I wasn't dumb. It's not that I thought he wasn't hot, It's that I wanted to make him angry.
"Yeah, right. I didn't need a rundown of your love life that screams "I'm a manwhore."" I chuckled at my own joke.His face screwed up in disgust and he rolled his eyes. I could tell I was getting on his nerves.
"Shut that pretty mouth of yours before I ruin it."I went frozen. I was stunned by his words. I looked over at him to find him looking at his phone like he had said nothing. He had got what he wanted though. I was silent.
