Promise Me?

Chapter Five

POV: Orion

I rolled over almost falling off my futon causing me to wake up. I looked around the room and noticed everyone was still sleeping. I stood up quietly and looked over at Lilith to see her sleeping so peacefully. I walked over to her and rubbed my hand down her face.

Why does she have to be so beautiful and stubborn? I had to walk away from her and go take a shower or else I would've made a big mistake and laid down next to her. Today was the day that I had to show her around and take her to her classes thanks to Stacy catching us coming into the room through the window.

After I get done with my shower and brushing me teeth, I walked out with the towel around my waist to grab clothes hoping everyone was still asleep. Boy was I wrong. I hear her gasp before I even had to look to know it was her. Then way she was looking at me right then in this moment gave me chills to no end.

If there weren't other people in this room, I would've walked right up to her and grabbed that pretty little nec...

I felt something hit me hard in the back of my head and when I turned around, I see a smirking Tristan. I roll my eyes and grab my clothes to finish getting ready. When I walk out everyone is gone except Lilith.

"Um, are you still taking me to my classes today or?" She trailed off as if she's scared of my answer. I mean I kinda don't blame her though for how I've been treating her. "Yes Lilly. I'm taking you to your classes still so hurry up and get ready."

We arrived at her first class and to be surprised was an understatement. I knew we shared a class but not the one that I usually skipped. She thanks me and walks in but I couldn't help but follow behind her. When I sat next to her, she gasped and most of the students was looking at me knowing that I normally not in here.

"You have this class? You don't have to sit next to me if you don't want to." She looks down at the desk blushing, but I can't help but to find it cute. "Yes, and I know I don't have to sit here but I want to sit next to you." The blush on her cheeks was so beautiful that I almost didn't hear her say, "Thank you Oreo." I rolled my eyes and looked forward.

During the class I just couldn't help myself. I kept looking at her, watching her. She had this certain look on her face while watching the professor and she would take notes like as if her life depended on it. I knew she could feel me staring at her, but she didn't show it. I hate to say it but when I first saw her, I hated her. She looked like one of those goody two shoe girls that snitches every chance they can get, but she proved me wrong on fight night.

She definitely has secrets and apparently dark ones too. We all do. Will we tell each other about our pasts or will we just continue like as if there is no secrets to tell.

I jump slightly when I feel her hand on my shoulder telling me class is over. When did I space out? "Sorry must've zooned out. What's your next class?" She hands me her paper again and I lead her to her next class which I know all to well.

Yet again we have another class together and I want to cure whatever god there might be for having such a sick humor. Why torcher me like this. I walked in first and sat down in my normal seat in the back of the class.

I looked over to see her standing behind me awkwardly. As if she was waiting for permission to sit down. "What Lilly?" She shuffles around and looks embarrassed. I pulled her seat back and patted it for her to sit down.

"Sit. I don't bite." She rolled her eyes, but I knew that there was a hidden reason as to why she acted like this. She eventually sat down and then the lesson began. It was my most important class. I had to get this class down and pass it. If I didn't my father would be disappointed.

Business Calculus, it was one of the most important courses to help me in my future career to take over my father's company. To him at least. I don't understand the big deal about it but I suck it up and do it anyways to make the old man proud.

If I didn't then I don't want to know what would happen. I look over to see Lilith staring at me. The moment she sees me look at her she blushes and turns her head towards the front. Why does she have to be embarrassed that I caught her looking.

It's not like she'll ever like me. That thought is almost laughable cause no one would ever like me or even love me.

I close my eyes trying to concentrate on the professor, but my mind is now racing wondering if I'll ever be good enough for someone. Or anyone. If not my father than why not her?

As I thought of this I began to panic. I looked back at her and all I could see was her, her beauty mixed with mystery, the way her black wavy hair runs down her back and the hidden secrets within her forest green eyes.

If anyone was to ask me my favorite color, it would definitely be her green eyes. She just doesn't know it yet, but she belongs to me now even if I don't claim her out loud. She's mine and I dare anyone to touch what's mine.

I have to protect her at all costs even if I have to protect her from my own self. I will protect what's mine. I will make sure she accepts the fact that she is mine and will always be mine.
