Wait For Me

7. Against the Wall

I really tried to hide my shock, but I failed. In fact I would probably disappointed if my luck had went my way. Its failed me all this time, no need to switch up now! Excuse me I am a little salty at the moment. I'm trying to figure out if this is a game that Eli is playing, maybe a scavenger hunt of some sort?The scowl on this guy's face lets me know who I am dealing with. The intrusion was also a dead give away. This is not Eli, this is douchebag to the nth degree.

Why is he here? In this dressing stall looking at me like he wants to break my other arm. I never see him here. Wait I totally never really come here.

So in my head I am thinking, maybe he doesn't know about the date. Does he know about the date? Just act casual Aubrey, he doesn't read minds At least I hope not. I mean what type of human can read minds. Pshh there no way, I mean like seriously. Ok I'm going to think something and see if he can tell what I am thinking.

Here goes.

"Emerson your and idiot, and people only hang around you because they are just as stupid and shallow as you are." I said in my head with disdain.

"Clearly the reason you act the way you act is because you are over compensating for something else." I say as I take a second to look down. But I hurry up and look back up. Yea he can't read minds because if he did my other arm wouldn't be operational right now.

"Why the hell did you just look at me like your better than me? Like I am beneath you." He said stepping closer to me. Why does he always get in my space. No one gets all up in his grill like this. His gaze is on me like he is daring me to lie. His face is hard. What is it about me that he hates so much?

"I...I...I didn't look at you like that. You startled me that's all." I said scared as hell, because I swear he terrifies my soul. After I say that he looks at me like he knows I am lying.

"Can you leave.. I was just about to..." he looks at me up and down and then I see his jaw harden, like the way I am dressed either offends him or repulses him. I don't know I cannot read faces, like his ass obviously can.

"About to take off this slutty dress?" He steps even closer so that he can pinch my dress at the side. I feel tingles all over my body. Whoa what is this reaction? What the hell? Calm down girl. I feel goose bumps rising. He should not be invoking these types of feelings in me. Why can't it be anyone else?

"What occasion call for a dress like this anyways Daniels?" He says like he is just waiting for me to tell another lie because his stance tells it all. He folds his arms and stands with his feet shoulder width apart like he's preparing for battle.

I think avoidance is the best defense.

"Can I not come to the mall and pick up something nice, once in a while master?" The sarcasm is just dripping from my voice. Hope he doesn't notice it. Not! He is scary but not that scary. Despite him breaking my arm, I'm not that scared of him. He may think women are the weaker sex, but I will show him a thing or two.

He doesn't respond he just stands there and look at me for like 10 seconds. Then what he does next surprises the hell out of me. He turns me around so fast and pushes me up against the wall. I can feel his hard body up against my back. Lord take me now. He grabs both of my arms and put them on the wall beside my head. He then proceeds to lean closer to my ear. Next thing I know his breath is on my neck and he says in a low voice.

"You go on that date with Shane" he said with so much anger lacing his voice I jumped so hard. It made my body brush up against his. I tried so hard to put some distance in between both of our bodies. I would have been in the wall if I tried any harder. I need to stop using the word hard. But its so hard to. I don't know what other word to describe these feelings or what I am trying to do.
