The Eyes Of The Devil [BxB] EDITING

Chapter Twenty One

Oscars pov

I groan and turn over, the sharp pain in my lower back practically jolting me awake. So much for a lie in.

I sigh as I grab my phone and it doesn't turn on, I guess I forgot to charge it last night. Slowly I push myself up, not wanting to put pressure on any of my recently acquired bruises.

Lets just say he wasn't too please when I got home last night.

As I wait for my phone to turn on I look out of my window and feel some of the tension ease from my body as I see his car isn't in the driveway. I stumble over to the bathroom, still half asleep as i brushing my teeth and check my bruises in the mirror making sure none of them look too demanding.

A distant buzzing noise pulls me from my thoughts. I quickly rinse my mouth and follow the sound only to realise it's my phone getting a call.

Luke

I quickly answer and sit on my bed.

"Hello?"

"Hey uhh, I was just checking you got home safe? You never replied to my texts." My eyes widen slightly.

"Oh! I'm s-sorry, my phone di-died and I got dis-distracted and forgot to c-charge it until now."

"Oh, okay."

He goes silent, though there's an odd tension to it

"Luke? Are-"

"I'm really sorry."

I frown at the how unsure he sounds, a contrast to his usual confident and somewhat calm exterior. I wait for a moment, my mind reeling, but he doesn't continue talking.

"A-Are you breaking u-up with me?"

"What? No of course not, unless thats you saying you want to? I just- I get why your upset I just thought maybe we could work this out and-"

I feel my frown deepen, my head slowly starting to hurt. "What? I-I'm not upset?" There's a pause before he replies.

"You're not?" I shake my head, though it takes me a second to realise he can't see me.

"N-no, why would I b-be?"

"Because I- we- I pushed you last night and I didn't mean to and-"

"You d-didn't push me?"

"I mean when I kissed you Oscar. I just- it was kind of a lot and then you just left so quickly. I thought I just pushed you too much, I mean in the moment I thought you enjoyed it and we had already talked about what your comfortable with but you're also allowed to change your mind and-"

Oh

I feel a small smile creep onto my lips.

"You worried."

He pauses. "Well yeah, you told me you was demi and didn't want to do anything too much and I really didn't want to overstep."'

I feel my breathing catch in my chest, a wave of emotions pouring over me. For the first time in my life someone worried about what I want in that situation. I smile and look down at my feet.

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"I didn't l-leave because of you."
