Monster Of A Mate [ON HOLD]

        Gabriel as Theo James ;)

      I groaned as I remember what happened last week. It hasn't once left my mind. Even if it did, it would return as soon as I forgot about it. His vows haunted me. I didn't want him to try anything in trying to win me over. He's done enough. Too much. I've heard so many people saying that everyone deserves a second chance but he has had so many chances and I know that if I do give him another chance, I know that I'll regret it. He doesn't deserve it. He never will. Aries has hurt me way too much. I have avoided him as much as I could by mostly just spending my time with Alaric and Gina. They're the ones that make me want to wake up every morning and nothing in this world could ever compare to the love I have for them.

    Rubbing my eyes, the sunlight peeked through the white curtains making me smile. Alaric and Gina. They've made their way to my heart so quickly that they just simply make my day. Alaric's cuteness and Gina's motherly love. Swinging my legs over the bed, I made my way to the unnecessarily huge bathroom. Opening the lights on, I gasped at my appearance. I should be used to it but it still scares me how ridiculous I look every time I wake up. My hair unruly, dry drool on my cheek, and my eyes still droopy. I combed through my brown waves, trying as much as I could to make it somehow presentable. I let out a frustrated grumble as knots started forming. Deciding that I couldn't do anything to make it better. I then decided to brush my teeth quickly.

    Descending down the stairs as softly as I could, making sure that on the way there wasn't any sign of Aries. Silence caressed my skin like a cool summer breeze, completely calming me. My feet padded against the wooden floor which was the only sound in the house. A yawn broke out through me and at that same time, my stomach decided to growl. I pat my stomach, I giggled softly to myself. Time to eat.

    The kitchen looked as if it was never used. At every step I took, I could see my reflection slightly. All appliances looked too clean as if the person that cleaned the kitchen truly spent their time scrubbing everything. I shook my head, laughing inwardly.

    Preparing my breakfast, I took out ingredients for pancakes along with orange juice. As I started mixing up all ingredients for the pancakes, I lost myself to my own little world. I started humming a familiar yet unfamiliar tune. I then began to dance and sway simultaneously with the melody I was singing. I needed bacon. Making my way to the fridge, I swayed my butt slightly, a hearty giggle emitted out of my mouth. Opening the fridge, I took out the bacon that I then took to the stove while still dancing. With both foods that needed to be cooked, I went ahead and cooked them at the same time. After flipping one of the pancakes, I boldly thought that since there was no one in here, I might as well dance like no one else is watching. Raising my hand up, I twirled around, no ounce of embarrassment could be found in me at this moment. What made me stop immediately midway was because of a man leaning on the wall. A gorgeous man. He was tall and his muscles evident through his white shirt. His curly cropped coffee-colored hair looked messy, apparent that he too just woke up. Grey sweatpants clung to his muscled thick thighs. What entranced me was his eyes. His eyes were rich brown and it looked way too perfect for his face and held amusement. His lips pink and pouty. A light scruff surrounded his jaw, accentuating his jaw line. He was beautiful.

    "That was quite a show," His mouth quirking up, making me blush furiously, "Why'd you stop? I wouldn't mind another booty shaking." A loud laugh boomed, surprising me. His laugh too was perfect. Throaty yet it's the kind where you could listen to it all day if possible. I didn't know how to response to that.
