Cinderella, The Monster Slayer

Chapter 12

Hey, lovely people. Here's a new chapter. Hope you'll like it. In here, you can get a little more knowledge about who the Protector is....you'll find out more about it soon. Don't worry.

Anyway, apologies for the grammar mistakes and errors. My laptop is at a shop being...I don't know...repaired I think...so I'm using the old computer at home which is so darn slow. 

Again, sorry for not really editing it...and I hope you guys will enjoy this chapter. Thank you.

"I promise I'll return it as soon as I wash it." Elektra said as she pointed her finger at Blake's shirt that she was wearing.

They were both drenched wet when they got back into the house. They even got scolded by the housekeeper. They could only hold back their laughter as she scolded them. Despite her frown, they could see her eyes glittering in amusement when she saw them drenched wet.

After she dismissed them, Blake took Ela to his room and told her to take a shower as he lends his shirt. Of course, Ela being Elektra, declined but Blake took no objection from her. He literally pushed her into her bathroom and gave her his clothes as he went to another bathroom to do the same.

When Ela put on his own black t -shirt, she almost swooned at the addictive scent of him. His shirt smelt like him, all masculine and woodsy. She had to stop herself from becoming a freaky stalker, sniffing on his shirt all the time.

God, I'm turning into a pervert, she groaned.

"Hey, no worries. It's just a t-shirt. Keep it." He smiled.

Her inner mind shouted in glee when she was able to keep it.

Oh dear, definitely turning into a pervert.

"Thank you." She smiled softly. "Maybe you could borrow mine after this."

"Sure...give me a pink dress and a blouse, I'll wear it." He grinned.

She laughed and he joined her. Seeing the happiness in his eyes, Ela couldn't help but to raise her hand and brushed a lock of his dark raven hair. His face softened and his eyes gazed into hers deeply. Her heart skipped a beat looking at those dark brown eyes that she loves so much. The emotions in them make her remember the fact that she indeed does love him.

No more pushing her feelings away. She was in love with her best friend and she accepted it whole heartedly.

Just before he could pull him into a hug, Elektra felt someone’s presence behind her.

"Ela."

She turned and saw Henry's worried face, which got her curious and worried that something had happened.

"Henry." She stepped a few steps away from Blake.

Looking back at Blake's face, she could see the confusion on it. Then she realized that they have met before but Blake didn't know that Henry was her friend. She never been introduced Henry to him before. Though she loved him, she just could not tell him about her true self just yet.

"Umm...Blake this is Henry. A great friend of mine."

Turning her head to Henry who still had the troubled look on his face, she introduced him to Blake.

"Nice to see you again, Blake." Henry gave him a polite smile.

Blake nodded and replied with his own smile. "Nice to see you again too. I didn't know you were friends with Ela." He spoke. Ela cringed as she could hear the suspicion and surprise in his voice.
