My New LIfe

Chapter 3

Although I was sleep i seen light flash inside the window a second later a loud noise shook the house. I quickly jumped forward on the bed almost throwing myself off luckily a cold pair of hands caught me before my face hit the floor. I sat up with my legs cross on the bed. I stared into the eye who saved me from a massive headache. Derick, he came back like he said he must be a man of his word. He put his hand gently across my face to whip the tear from my eyes. Instead of moving it he just left it there. My emotion was taking the best of me 'cause i lean in on his hand. What was wrong with me i don't even know him and already i feel this connection between us.

Derick was the first one to break the silence.

" Are you okay?" He whisper to me.

" Yes I'm fine. I told you that i was scared. You didn't believe me?" I said with one eyebrow raised. No on ever believe when I say I'm afraid of something.

" No, I believe you i just didn't think that you will be this scared. It's actually cute though."

" I'm so happy that you find my fear amusing." I said moving away from his hand to lay back down. I hate when people make fun of me. It's so annoying. When I looked up I seen Derick face a few inches from mine. Why did he have to be this close?

" I have one question," he said before his eyes move down to my chest, " why you dont have on any clothes?" He ask me with a wide grin on his face.

My black lace Victoria Seceret bra was expose from under the cover. I quickly pull the covers closer to my neck embarrassed by what just happen. The cover must have came off when i almost fell off the bed.

I forced me eyes on the cover before i spoke. " Clothes is very uncomfortable to me when i sleep. But i will put on some," I told him. I was about to get out of bed before he grab my hand.

" No need, what ever make you feel comfortable. Try to get some sleep the storm is not going anywhere no time soon." He inform me. I completely forgot about the storm. The time that we was talking lighting flash in the room but i didn't pay it any attention.

I did as I was told and laid down it didn't take long for sleep to catch up to me.

I groan at the sun waking my up from a peaceful sleep. Why this room dont have curtains i will never know. I lay there for a moment trying to get more sleep in, then i realize that Derick had spent the night in here. I roll over facing the t.v. room where he was last seen. Nothing. No one was in here. I let out a sigh of relief i didn't want to kick him out so i can get out of bed.

I climb out of bed, grab my clothes that was laying on a chair, and head to the bathroom to take a shower. Usually i take long shower but since this is not my house i have to be respectful. I step out of the shower clean and feeling flesh. I throw on some dark Levi's jean and a yellow tank top and head out the bathroom.

" Good morning beautiful." A man said sitting on the edge of the bed. I jump at the sight of him. " I'm sorry for scaring you i didn't mean to." He apologies quickly.

" No you're fine i thought I was the only one in here." I told him. I looked at his face and instantly I was in shocked. He look just like Derick. The same dark skin color, the same eye color, and the same facial structure. But the only different is that he was smaller than Derick. Derick is big and full of muscle. He wasn't.

" Hey I'm Dustin, Derick older brother." That will explain a lot.

" Hey I'm Essence'." I told him.

" Um, it's fits you." He said licking his lip. Was he some type of pervert because now i feel uncomfortable around him. I move  my eyes to the floor and walked on the other side of the bed. Far away from him. " If you are ready i would like to take you down for breakfast?" He said glaring at me.

" Okay." That was the only thing i could have gotten out my mouth.

He lead the way back to the hall way and down the stairs. We came to these double doors and i heard voices behind them. Dustin held one door open and gesture with the other hand for me to come in. There was three people over the stove i guess they was the kitchen help. I look around the room and saw Rose Ann, Derick, and two other people sitting at the table with them. Dustin put a hand on my shoulder to move me forward. When I came closer all heads snapped to me like i called there name.

" Good morning Essence'," Rose Ann said while giving me a hug. I hesitated for a minute before i gave in. " I hope my husband was behaving himself while he was in your present?"

" Love, i was the prefect gentlemen." He responded with a hand over his heart like he was hurt by her words.

" Essence', these are Jared and Jamie." Rose Ann named the two other people at the table. Every last one of them look just alike. They was all beautiful.

Derick got up from the table and pull out a chair for me. I quickly said thank you and sat down. Derick turn around to look at Dustin who was still standing up. His eyes stayed on me with this hungry look in his eyes. I started to shift uncomfortable in my sit. 

" Go eat Dustin." Derick told him in a warning tone.

" Nope I'm fine."

" I said go eat Dustin." After that last warning Dustin quickly walk out of the kitcken. I have no ideal where he went but he went somewhere.

" Sorry about that. What will you like to eat?" Derick said while sitting next to me. His face still looked angry at what just happen. I will leave to subject alone for right now.

" I can cook it if you tell me where everything is." I said to him.

" No you dont have to cook. That's why we have people to do it for us." He snapped at me.

" I was just saying it look like they are busy and i don't mind cooking it." I snapped back at him.

" Oh, I like her." The boy Jared said with laughter. Everyone else join in to but me and Derick. His face was set in a hard line while staring at me. Two can play this game and i stared right back at him. It was hard for me not to get lost in his eyes like i have done plenty of times but i wanted to win this war. When he saw that i wasn't about to give up he got up from the table and heard out the room. How could he be so cold to me after what we went through in the room last night? Jamie answer my question before I did.

" Don't worry about him. He just going through a stress time right now." She told me. Now I'm being nosey.

" What kind of stress?" I asked to Jamie.

" He have to find a wife." She told me while putting a mouth full of toast in her mouth. Rose Ann kick Jamie from under the table and my mind went to wondering.

Why did he have to find a wife? Is it some tradition in there family that they have to married before an age? Why do i feel like my heart has just been riped out of my chest?
