The Boy Who Never Loved

7

My eyes flickered open to the bright light falling on my face. Ugh! Why do I always forget to close the sheets?
Rubbing my eyes, I tried to get up but I could feel something heavy around my waist. Slowly I turned to my side only to face Efron sleeping peacefully next to me. Unconsciously, I caressed his face with my hand. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping, he looked like a small baby. I ignored the pain in my back as his hand was draped around it. Right now, any amount of pain didn't matter. Is snuggled closer to him, burying my head in his chest. I could smell his cologne and even hear his heart beat. I wanted him so bad, I wanted to wake up to see the same face every morning. This was all I wanted.
His hand suddenly moved onto my bruises and I winced, waking him up. Shit!
He opened his eyes and pulled his hand away. He felt guilty for hurting me, I could see it in his eyes.
"I'm sorry" he sat up "I didn't want to hurt you." Damn! He was too caring for a man.
"You dint." I whispered as I patted the place beside me, asking him to lie down and he agreed.

I dug my head into his chest and he wrapped his arm on my waist carefully so he doesn't hurt me. He then took my hand into his and examined the bruise.
"I shouldn't have left you." He whispered. Now he thinks it's his fault. Wow!
I moved closer to him "Don't blame yourself Efron, it's not your fault."
He dint reply for a second, he just stared at the ceiling.
After few minutes, he turned his head to my side. "Will you do me a favour?"
I nodded.
"Come along with me Des. I don't want you to live here."
"What?"
"Your not safe here" he sighed "I can't leave you here. It'll kill me if  anything happened to you."
I gave him a small smile "I'll be fine Efron."
He shook his head and cupped my face slowly "I can't leave you here okay? I need you with me all the time. I need to make sure your okay plus it'll be easier for you to work on the house if you stay there."
"Okay" I whispered. Truly speaking, I won't be able to live here without getting scared every moment. Anyway I will be living there in a few months, so why not early?
I saw a look of triumph on his face and he plopped himself down beside me grabbing his phone.
He dialled a number and the other person picked it really fast.
"Hey Elliot" he rolled his eyes after he heard what the other man had to say.
"I want her to move into our house today."
Efron smiled when he heard what the other person had to say. His smile was too cute.
"Okay" he muttered "I'll text you the address."
He then threw his phone back on the table and snuggled close to me.
"You smell so good" he whispered making my cheeks flush.
"And you stink" I laughed pushing him away.
He chuckled "Your just jealous that I smell better than you." He stuck his tongue out. Oh! How much I loved the playful Efron.
"Sure sure." I laughed and he just stared at me intently before he jumped on top me but he maintained the distance between us so that he doesn't hurt me.
I slowly bit my lip due to the intensity of his gaze.
He let out a frustrated groan as he moved closer to my face "Don't do that."
"Do what?" I asked innocently. His eyes never left mine.
He let out a small sigh "You need to stop teasing me Des. I can't pull away next time."
I lifted my head so that our noses were brushing against each other "Then don't." I whispered. I could feel his body stiffen from my voice.
"Fuck it." He muttered before he bent down to kiss my neck. His soft lips travelled along my neck. Sucking the skin beneath my ear.
"I'll have a hickey Efron." I giggled and he smiled against my skin.
"That's the way I claim my territory." He whispered huskily near my ear. His morning voice was so hot. My heart did a small happy dance when he said that.
He slowly pulled away and his eyes met mine. There was a small twinkle in them. He looked like a small boy who just dot a huge ice cream.
He rubbed his hands on my lips carefully. He's teasing me now.
He slowly brushed his lips again mine but he dint kiss.
Okay this was frustrating now. "Kiss me already" I yelled.
He smiled against my lips. "Say my name"
"Efron" I whispered, our lips still touching.
"Say my name Des." He started licking my lips.
I held back a small giggle. He wanted me to say his name so desperately. It's only legit if I tease him a little. I slowly bit my lower lip and his eyes widened. I could see him gripping the sheets to control himself.
"Efron" I repeated again biting my lips a little longer.
"Say my name Miley" he groaned as he moved closer to my face.
I giggled and he moved closer "Zac" I whispered and he froze.
His eyes met mine for a second and then his lips crashed onto mine. He was gentle so that he doesn't hurt me. Yesterday's wound was still fresh but I dint mind. Right now, this was all I wanted.
"Ahem ahem" we sprung apart when we heard someone. What's with everyone interrupting us?
I froze when I saw the person standing in front of me. Zac seemed to have noticed that and he turned back.
"N - Nick?" I shuttered.
Zac immediately plopped down the bed and pinned Nick on the wall.
"Don't" I yelled but he dint stop.
"You hurt her." He growled and Nick just stood shocked.
"Zac stop please" I yelled and he threw Nick down.
He ran hands through his hair from frustration "What do you want?" He hissed at Nick who was now standing. I slowly walked towards Zac and he wrapped his arms around me protectively.
"I came to apologise." Nick said sheepishly. "I was drunk and my father infuriated me to do this. I'm sorry Miles, you know I'll never hurt you. I had no idea what happened to me yesterday."
I knew he wasn't lying and so did Zac. He sounded so real, so honest.
"It's okay" I smiled at him "Just don't even get carried away again."

He gave a small nod and then his eyes drifted to me and Zac before his lips curled into a small smile.
"Congratulations by the way." He set his shirt "Nice to see you again brother." With that he left.
Zac turned to me "How did he come in?" I started walking towards the kitchen and he followed me "I gave him the keys long back. Oh wait! That reminds me, how did you come  in yesterday?"
"The door was open" he answered grabbing an apple from the fridge.
I smiled at him "You can take a shower in the guest room if you want. I'll be ready in ten."
He nodded and walked into the guest room.
