Chapter 14

Liz's P.O.V

"No.No.Do not touch my stuff."I hissed as Luke surrendered his hands up in the air.

"How will I help then?"He said pouting.

"Pass me the box."I said holding out my hand to grab the cardboard box from his hand.

I started adjusting my books into the box.

"I'll be there in a hour."Sebastian said on the phone as he entered the room.

"Should I start clearing your novels from the library?"Luke said ignoring Sebastian's presence completely.

"Sure.Just remember -"I said but was cut off by Nikos,"no crooked corners or fingerprints and dust them?"He said leaning on the door frame and then he realised that he was wounded and hissed and straightened himself.

I just glared at him and concentrated on my desk.

"I'll suggest you hurry up,Elizabeth.
Let me do the desk unless you want me to clear out your closet."Sebastian said smirking.

I sighed at his intentions.Boys.

"Just be careful with the stuff."I said as I moved across the room to my closet.

As I opened the door,a hand grabbed mine.

"Let me go,Nikos."I growled.

"I'm sorry,okay?I didn't mean to say that.Any of that.I was way out of line saying that everybody .."He skidded to a stop.

"Everybody around me dies?You mean?"I taunted as I reached for a box behind me.

"I'm sorry,okay.I know you love Matt as much as I do.It's just everything happened at once.You left and he's dead and he sold you off.It's a lot to process.Just I'm an ass.Forgive me now."He said looking at me with puppy eyes.

"Whatever."I said zipping my dresses in clear bags.The expensive ones.

He came inside with a box and quietly began helping me.

"Holy shit."Sebastian whispered as he entered the closet.

"That is one hell of a cupboard.I thought you were the "I don't care what I wear"types."Sebastian smirked.

"If it worked that way,then even you could be a baiter."I said as I watched his expression turn to surprise.

Nikos was trying to contain his laughter.He was failing miserably.I could not resist joining him.

I clutched at his bruised arm for support.

"Ow!"He cried out between laughs.

"I'm..really..sorry about that."I said between laughs.
We just began laughing again.

"Ha ha ha.I might reconsider keeping you alive with that sense of humour."Sebastian glared at us.

Nikos stopped laughing immediately.
He looked between me and Sebastian again and again.

"He's hurting you?"Nikos asked me.His hand already clenched.Waiting for me to say yes.

"No.That's not what he meant."I said rolling my eyes at his possessiveness.

"I'm not like you.I don't beat up girls unnecessarily when I don't even know the whole thing or have a proper reason."Sebastian taunted Nikos.

Nikos was tightening his jaw and was taking heavy breaths by now even Sebastian looked battle-ready.

"Boys.Boys.Please.I beg of you.Please."I said coming in between them keeping each hand on their chest to push them away.

Nikos groaned and said,"Let's just pack."as he probably knew ghere is only so many times I will forgive him.

I instructed the boys to zip the dresses as I began to clear out my casuals.

"Take the suitcases from above."I said pointed to two Louis Vuitton's trunks.

"Perks of being a princess?"Sebastian asked as he climbed up on the stool to get them.

"Yep."I said popping the'p'.

"He knows?"Nikos almost shouted.

"Jeez.Everybody will if you don't control that pitch of yours.He was bound to find out."I said moving my delicates to a storage box.

Next I moved on to my dressing table at the end of the closet.

I was clearing it all off when I saw the ring locket I had hung on the organiser.

I unclasped it and wore it around my neck with great difficulty.

I really like it.It wasn't my mother's or my father's ring.I don't even remember how I procured it.It was old and I liked it.

The ring had a green diamond on it.
I cleared the make-up supplies and my jewellery.

"Should I zip these too?"asked a smirking Sebastian holding up a corset dress hung with fishnets.

"No.I'll do them.Thank you very much."I said as I fought the red colour on my cheeks as I reached to grab it from him.

"It's my-"I began to explain when he raised his eyebrows.

"Stripper outfit?"He said smirking.

"Sort of.Each job requires something different."I said as I turned to the rest of the 'outfits' and carried them outside to keep them in the suit case.

"Well,it will certainly be exciting with a baiter."He said.

"We're done."Nikos announced from outside.

"I have the books ready,Liz."Luke's voice boomed.

"Great.Can you send somebody to help us?"I replied.

"Yep.They're here.Knew you couldn't carry it on your own."He said as he high-fived an annoyed Nikos.

Everybody was staring at him with a sour expression.He just shrugged.

"Well,here are the keys."Luke said handing me the key to my convertible.

"What?"I said staring at him like a dumb wit.

"Your car,Liz."Nikos emphasised.
"I can't take that.It's James's."I said swinging my backpack.

"Mum and Dad left you the car money.It's yours.Besides what will you use as transportation?How will you come to school tomorrow?They go to a different school."Luke said jingling the keys.

"You almost paid for the full amount of the car."Nikos said as he snatched the key from Luke and handed it to me.

"Okay."I said staring at Sebastian.

All the boxes and bags were in the cars now.

I said my goodbyes to everyone and Rosa had packed dinner for me and the guys.

Just as we were in the driveway,Sebastian pulled me to him.

"What are you doing?"I hissed.

"Just follow me and if you try anything,I will hunt you down and kill you,Princess.Clear?"He said opening the door of my Merc for me.
