I turn around and look over the room again.

"This is....cute" I manage to say and regret it right after because it sounded weird af.

"I was hoping you'd find it cute." He chuckled. His soft voice echoing in the big apartment and in my head. I heard him chuckle so many times but this time was special.

"Do you want something to eat or drink?" He asked me playing with the hem of his shirt.

"No. I'm fine." I said. I looked at the clock. I won't be able to stay here too much. That would be creepy. A complete stranger not wanting to leave your house, you'd call the police for sure, right, well, that's the last thing I wanna cause now.  But I need to stay with him. What should I do now? I ditched my job. What if I get called back home.

"Lilith...?" When I heard my name I finally snapped out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked trying to focus on the conversation instead of my thoughts.

"Where do you live?" He asked me sitting on his couch patting the space next to him signaling me to sit next to him.

"I live....far away from here. I'm here to do my job." I said as I sat next to him leaving some space between us. I didn't lie. That is a sin.

"Oh. And when are you going home?" He didn't even think of asking me what's my job. Thank God. I thought I'll have to tell him. I guess I got some extra time.

"I don't know." I hope not soon tho. There's just one way of going home from here, and I'm not going down that road again.

"Well. I'd like to have you here more. I mean you are so cute. Maybe you could move in here with me. I have a guests' room."

He must be kidding.

"Calum...I thought you learned since that accident. Why wouldn't you think about things before you say them? I can't go on anymore with you trying to FIND danger. This can work only if you help too. What if I was a serial killer? Or a girl who wants you for fame. Huh?! What would you do if I got you in trouble? I can't believe this..." I gasped after I finished that sentence. Why would I go all crazy over him like this? I got up from the couch and I felt Calum trying to grab my hand but I didn't let him.

I turned to the door and ran out of the apartment.

*Calum's P.O.V.*

What the actual fuck just happened. She just went all crazy on me. Did I fuck up? Yes...I probably rushed it all... I never felt this way before for a girl and that's why I asked her to move in with me. I can't stand even the thought of losing her. I need her by my side...

I was trying to figure out what should I do... go after her, wait until she comes back? What if she doesn't? I need to find her.

I got up and went after her but couldn't find her anywhere. I started to panic but tried to stay calm at the same time. I went back to my apartment and waited for a miracle...

*Lilith's P.O.V.*

I walked to a park that I found hidden enough and sat down on a bench. I was sitting there thinking about what did just happen why would I just snap at him in this way? Of course he is acting a bit immatrue after all but this is his way to act with a girl. Don't get me wrong. Calum always treats girls in the way they deserve or even better. But I just screwed up even more...This is really not my day. Anyways, the biggest question here is how I could fix it?

I let out a few sobs as the feeling of hopeless sadness spread through my body.

This can't be real...You had one job Lilith.

I kept telling myself over and over. As I was sitting on that bench it started to get darker. I needed to find a place where to sleep.

Maybe I should go back to him?

I stood up from the bench and took a deep breath to calm down.

Soon felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around slowly thinking that danger is knocking at my life's door. But in my surprise I found a tall figure standing next to me.

I looked up to see a face I was familiar with...

Luke...
