Morphine: Drugged is the New Paradise

Chapter 2 Ariel

Ariel's POV

I couldn't believe it! What makes Adam think that he could just walk in here like we are still together? I wasn't going to stand for it. He had to leave now. It was weird to think that I wanted him. Just a few hours ago I was willing to crawl back to him, and now that I've met Eli, I wanted nothing to do with the jerk. Julie was right, I had to move on. What happened between Adam and Brittany wasn't a one time thing. Brittany got guilty and confessed everything to me. She told me that she was with him every weekend, they even did it during classes at school. As soon as she was done telling me everything, I broke up with him. I cried myself to sleep every night, for the past two weeks. I should have saw it coming. Adam wanted to take our relationship to the next level, I told him I wasn't ready. Well it wasn't that I wasn't ready to have sex, hello, I just tried to seduce Eli, I was just afraid to have sex.

"What happened between Brit and I was a one time thing. I swear." Adam remarked.

First, he broke into my parents apartment, and now he is going to lie straight to my face? 

Anger consumed me, "You are a liar! Brittany told me everything, you piece of shit!"

"Did she now?" Adam asked, in a calm voice. It was too calm for my liking. I felt scared for some reason. A shiver crawled down my spine. Well I couldn't let him know that I was scared. I had to get more aggressive with him. I'm almost positive that Eli will back me up. I looked at him through the corner of my eye. His shoulders were raised with tension. Death was written in those glistening golden eyes. I felt that I should be scared of him, but I wasn't. I was scared for Adam.

I recollected myself, "Yes, she got guilty and spilled everything to me, you are such a dirty disgusting man whore."

He took a step towards me, "Come on-"

"Back off!" Eli snarled, at Adam, "Leave now."

"I wasn't talking to you, dude." Adam snorted.

Adam didn't look at Eli's eyes. If I were him, I would be trying to find the nearest exit. I hated Adam, the bastard had no right to cheat on me just because I wasn't ready to have sex with him. If he had just waited until I knew he was strong enough to handle me, then , yes, he would have had me. But now I am so glad that I didn't have sex with Adam, then perhaps I wouldn't have met Eli. There was something different about him, that makes me believe that he would be a better boyfriend than Adam. 

Adam went to take another step, and Eli got in front of me. His feet were firmly planted on the ground, prepared to attack if necessary. 

"Perhaps you didn't hear me the first time. Leave now." Eli warned, again.

"Maybe you didn't hear-"

Adam froze in his tracks when he actually looked Eli in the eyes. He went dead quiet. "I'll come around when he's not here."

I smiled. Thank you, Eli. "Don't bother! I don't want you. We are over!"

"Oh, I think you will reconsider, I will see you on Monday after class." Adam said, and then he walked out the door.

I plopped down on the couch releasing the breath that I didn't realise that I had been holding.

I looked at Eli, he seemed much more relaxed, but I still felt bad that I dragged him into my mess.

"I am really sorry about that." I apologized.

He turned to look at me, "No, my dear, you have nothing to be sorry about. He shouldn't have walked in unannounced."

He sat down next to me, and tucked a few strands of hair behind my ear, " I am sorry that you have to deal with him."

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm tougher than I look." I smiled, trying to lighten the mood.
