Her Bad Boy

Chapter 24

In a few hours i was done packing my stuff. I sat on the bed to catch my breath when someone knocked on the door

"Come in" the door opened reveling Alec

"I want to show you something, lets hope it won't scare you" i frowned. He led me down to the basement. He started knocking on the wall then pushed it. It opened like a door I've never seen before. "Come in" i took a deep breath and entered. My mouth dropped in shock.

On every inch of the walls there were knives of different types, daggers and guns hanged on it. I blinked not believing what i was seeing. This is impossible. How can they have so many weapons?

"It's just in case something happens. If you ever need something you know where to find them. When we'll come back Will will teach you how to fire a gun." He said softly

"Why can't you teach me?" He smiled

"Honestly, I've never been really good with guns and I don't like them. I prefer daggers or knives. It might be a little messy but it's easier" i was still in shock. I blinked again trying to process all this

"Why do i need to learn to fire a gun?" I asked confused

"For your own protection"

"Can't you protect me?" I asked without having time to think what i just said. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it. He then took a deep breath

"I'll try. But i might not be always here so you need to know how to protect yourself"

"Oh. Right."

I didn't sleep very well that night thinking of what will happen tomorrow. I woke up at 5 in the morning. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn't so i decided to take a shower and prepare breakfast. Our plane was at 12 in the afternoon and Alec woke up at 10. We hurried to get to the airport. When we got into the plane we walked over to the first class. Of course he would buy tickets to the first class. I rolled my eyes and took my seat. Well at least he doesn't have a private plane. The stewardess brought us some expensive wine.

"Would you like something else, Mr Curtis?" She waved her lashes at Alec then turned and gave me a disgusted look. She was blonde, tall and had big breasts, even bigger than Claire's.

"No, thank you" Alec said politely but in his cold voice. Does that mean that he isn't interested in a blonde with big boobs? Wow impressive. She looked a little offended but left. I spent the whole day reading and trying to ignore Alec who kept checking me every 5 seconds. We arrived at 1 in the morning.

A car took us from the airport and left us in the middle of nowhere. There were no houses close to our mansion. I was too tired to care about that so i just went in my room. I fell asleep almost immediately. At some point in the night i heard noises. I didn't know what they were. A shiver ran down my spine. We were in the middle of nowhere, alone. I tried to calm myself down. I walked out of my room and followed the noise. I opened the door to a room and exhaled relieved to see Alec turning around in his bed. He looked like he was having a nightmare. I walked slowly to his bed and called his name. He didn't wake up. I tried to touch his arm and face. Still didn't work, actually it was even worse. I freaked out and straddled him, put my hands on his shoulders and started shaking him. Everything happened in what seemed like a second. He opened his eyes alarmed then threw me over next to him. Now he was the one that was over me and i couldn't breathe

"Never" he took a deep breath "do" deep breath "that" deep breath "again. Understand?"

"Y-yo-you were having a nightmare and i-i tried to wake you up but you weren't and i got scared and-" i stopped talking when he wanted to get up from bed "no!" I screamed. He stopped in his tracks and looked at me like i was crazy. I went bright red "you sleep naked" i whispered. He looked down at his lap.

"Right. Sorry" he turned back to me.

" I should leave" i said quickly and got up from bed.

"What if you don't?" Butterflies invaded my stomach. I probably didn't hear that right. I turned around. He was looking at me and i could see in his eyes what he just said. Hope. That's what it was.

"I can't Alec. You know I can't" i sighed

"Why not? You know i would never- I wouldn't-" i cut him off

"You're not the problem. I am. I don't trust myself when I'm around you. You have full control and i don't like that. Good night, Alec" i said walking out the door
