Beauty within the beast

New people

I feel something lightly tap my nose. I ignore it once more, thinking it's viper being the annoying little eight year old sister that she is.

Tap.

Tap.

Viper needs to stop before I wake up and snap at her!

Tap.

My eyes flutter open, but instead of seeing viper like I expect , I see roman. The man who had abducted me last night.

I instantly remember that I'm not at home and viper is far away from me. I sigh and sit up, staring at the emotionless expressed roman. Despite his stone-cold expression, I know there is something off with him.

He looks stressed out, his hair is in a mess , probably from running his hand through it a lot. You could never guess this innocent handsome person is Satan in hiding.

A bit of over exaggeration ,I know.

I stare at him, hiding emotions that I just let out freely an hour ago. If anything ,I don't want him to find pleasure in my sorrow.

"I think you should go downstairs, they made some breakfast." he says softly. He doesn't sound like his usual cold, angry ,self.

He's probably faking kindness for the sake of cal,  I shouldn't read into it.

I look away, still feeling upset and hurt

"No." I mumble weakly.

I don't want to face anyone down there, I don't want to do anything , I'd much rather die, I just want home.

I hear him sigh "Come on, you need to eat and I want you to meet some people." he urges me. His voice sounding strained.

"I said no!" I reply stubbornly.

"Now I'm telling you to go, Roxanne." he says, his voice getting a bit more snappier.

There's the devil roman coming out again.

"And I said no!" I snap irritated.

I look at him as he glares at me, he stands up , walking closer to the bed as I inch away. His evil smile glints through the sunlight that appears through the window.

I continue backing away as he inches closer, he starts crawling onto the bed while I scoot away hurriedly. What is his problem?!

I start to jump off the bed but unfortunately, roman has other plans.

He grabs my leg,which causes me to go falling face forward onto the ground, on which I hit my head.

The pain surges through as my skull makes contact with the hardwood floor. I mumble a chorus "Ows" as my eyes water.

I rub the back of my head and turn to look at an " deep in thought" roman.

He sighs, offering a hand to help me up ,but I slap it away furiously as I stand up. My wobbly legs don't help much, because I go crashing down to the floor once more.

I hear roman mutter curse words as he gets up. I don't turn his way, I much rather beat him with a stick than allow him to help me. I attempt standing up again, my hands shaking, as well as my whole body.

I hoist myself up ,making my way to the door but I l unfortunately lose my balance as soon as i take the third step ,roman catches me before I can go crashing onto the floor.

And no, not one of those romantic
"A guy catching a girl before she falls" kind of thing. He's apparently bad at catching girls , because he goes tumbling with me which causes me to be smashed between the wall and Romans built body. And let me tell you, there's nothing attractive about this!
