Gone

Chapter 6

"Okay what the hell was that?" you stopped dead in your track.

Vernon rolled his eyes.

"Oh so you're not going to say something?" you questioned.

"Look I'll explain it to you later when we get back home" he paused "Or do you want me to drag you to get in this damn car?" he looked at you dead in the eyes.

Does this demon has a period or something. One minute ago he's being a flirty then a few minutes later he acted like he forgot his pills. Drag you? Son of a Sandra! Can't say a bitch though since his mother was nice to you.

When you entered your car you didn't said a word to him neither does him. You started the ignition while Vernon adapt himself beside you. You can noticed him looked at you but it might be your sense so you just brush it off.

"You are so pretty" Vernon said quietly to your liking. Are you shocked? Obviously. You and Vernon always at each other throat, not always but when he said that you were pretty you felt different unless you might heard him wrong.

"Pardon?" you asked

"What?" he looked baffled and quickly turned his head away from you

"I heard you said something? Pretty what?" you emphasized the question.

"I did not said anything and besides even though I said pretty doesn't mean it was directed to you. So don't full be of yourself." Ouch that was hurt

"Damn boy, I didn't say it was directly to me" you muttered. Can this demon just admit it. What a pretty boy with cold hearted ass.

"Yeah yeah whatever, just drive" he waved his hand at me.

"Watch out demon, this is my car. I can kick you out if I wanted to. So you can ride a bus with a lot of sweaty people there. And if you behaved yourself, that wouldn't happen" you smiled sarcastically

"And one more thing, my mom invited you to dinner because your mom can't make it home tonight. So I'm going to take you home with me. Is that okay to you?" you asked.

He just hump in reply. You sighed and drove back home. You and Vernon sit there in silence no words were spoken. You liked it, it makes you comfortable. All you can heard was you and Vernon steady breathing.

You parked your car on your driveway. You turned off your ignition, when you were about to get out from the car Vernon grabbed your wrist. You turned your head to looked at him. You sensed his surprise, and a hint of nervousness.

"I... I" he sounds so nervous. Now what?

"You what?" you pressed.

"I think you do look pretty." he paused "I'm going to get ready for dinner tonight" he winked, grinning wickedly

You stared at him, your suprise the first genuine emotion he'd seen. Without another word, he got out from the car, leaving you clueless.

Why should that surprised you?
