My Beautiful Rose

Chapter 10: BANG! BANG! BANG!

{~Renessa~}

Nerves. Nerves. Nerves! I've never been this nerves about a man or boy before. God knows I don't fear nothing nor do I bow down to a man. But....Elijah is a different story...Elijah is a different kind of man. At least in the way that he makes me feel.

Ralin told me to go ten minutes ago, I tried my hardest to stall for as long as possible but it only takes 30 seconds to reach Elijah's room from the room my sister in staying in. It took me three minutes.....and it still wasn't enough. I have been standing in front of his door for 7 minutes why can't u go in? Do you know how crazy this is making me? This is not me! I do not act like this especially not for a man.

Okay. I can do this I'll just open the door and go in. Just like that. It's just Elijah-

"Are you gonna come in or do you just prefer the design of my door more than my room?" Okay so my heart almost jumped out of my body. Why the fuck did he just throw the door open like that? My blood pressure is gonna suffer.....it must be 130 right now.
When the answer didn't come quickly enough he turned around leaving the door open wide for me to walk in I assume....

I guess he already showered because, he was already in the bed cuddled up when I walked in.

Carefully and slowly I move towards the bed. He won't bite.....why am I acting like this? Okay it's fine. I'll just lay down like nothing happened. Nothing did happen not at all.

I moved the comforter aside and got in. It's so nerve wracking how still he is....not a peep from him. He doesn't even move as I find it difficult to get comfortable in the usually comfortable bed....
I was moving so much I accidentally hit my elbow, although the bed was soft it still hurt..

"Auwhg, shit" immediately Elijah started moving towards me. Before I knew it I was on his chest with my arm resting in his, he held it place so I wouldn't move it to much....i think
"Are you okay?" His voice as always was rather cold, but this time it had an edge to it. Like he was treading carefully.
"Yea it doesn't hurt much-

"No I meant are you okay?" Oh. Damn it. How do I answer that. Well obviously he wasn't an explanation for my weird behavior...which I understand I just don't have one. I don't know why I am suddenly like this either.
"I mean I am..." Elijah sighed softly it was nearly there but I could feel his chest rising

"You know we don't have to do anything until we are both ready. Being intimate with each other is a sacred thing. So when we're ready we can take that step"
A soft smile broke into my face, and i nodded so he knew I was listening. Everything started to feel way lighter as I slowly drifted away

-

I'm not sure what woke me up, but it has my heart raising not necessarily in fear but I'm getting the feeling that something bad is about to happen. I looked around frantically to see Elijah slowly walking towards the door a gun in his hand. He attempted to turn in the switch but it wouldn't work....oh crap.
"Elijah? Is someone in the house?" I whispered he turned around immediately as if not expecting me to be awake.

"I think so, stay here-

"No way, if your going out there I'm going with you!" He seemed to be considering it for a while before finally nodding. I quickly got out of the bed making sure not to make a sound.
He walked out of the door and I followed close behind him. It was so dark. It's never so dark...this is weird.
Someone definitely messed with the electricity
