I turned it on immediately grabbing my sandal and throwing it across the room towards the figure near the window.
"Ouch. Did I get the wrong room?"
I looked up only to recognize those same pair of eyes.
"Are you serious?! What the hell are you doing here? It's almost 4 for gods sake." I put my phone down on my nightstand and climbed onto my bed turning on my little light.
"I came to see you. I didn't hear from you so I thought I'd surprise you." He said standing there flashing a smile.
I didn't think of anything to say so I simply kept a straight face even though I came to realize that I actually did miss him.
What came out of my mouth however was unexpected.
"No."
"No?" He said repeating with a confused face.
"No. You can't just show up thinking it's okay to show yourself after you send jack to spoil me with a gift." I said tossing him the pillow I had nearby.
He catched it on time before it hit his face and he came towards me making me scoot to the edge of my bed.
He bend down and whispered in my ear, "Chill princess. If you were mine you'd know what being spoiled feels like."
I felt my cheeks heating up but even so I kept a straight face.
"Got nothing to say?" He said chuckling laying down getting comfortable.
"Actually I do." I said hovering over him straddling him down.
"Ooo I'm all ears."
Slowly leaning in I moved to his ear and whispered, "please take off your shoes."
With that I hopped off and made my way to my closet to find something more comfortable to wear to sleep.
"You're telling me that because you want me to stay? Princess." I hear him say. I rolled my eyes and turned back.
"No. It's because you're going to fuck up my white duvet and it takes forever to wash it." I said making my way towards the bathroom door.
"Oh and when I come out, I want you gone." I slammed the door hard enough for him to hear.
Did I want him to stay?
Nope. I have to continue writing tomorrow and I don't need distractions. I need to stay focused in order to get that job.
I tore off my laces up shirt and replaced it with my oversized hoodie. I slid down my jeans and tossed them in the laundry basket.
I headed towards the door and walked out. When i came out I looked around and noticed Elijah wasn't on my bed anymore.
A sigh of relief came out of my mouth as I fixed the sheets where he was laying down.
I checked my phone one last time before getting comfortable.
"Make room princess. Here I come." I heard Elijah say.
I quickly stand up from my seated position and notice him enter the room without a shirt.
"Sorry who said you're staying?" I said crossing my arms.
"Oh I forgot to mention this to you. I kind of need to stay here if you don't mind of course. Someone's looking for me and my brother Damon and apparently they entered my house. Damon isn't anywhere to be found and I on the other hand had nowhere to go so I asked jack for your address." He comes closer and I stop him in his tracks.
"Are you saying that if it weren't for this situation you would have never come?" I told him coming closer.
The guy was using me. Of course he was.
I was finally standing in front of him and had to look up to the massive giant in front of me.
He chuckled and simply said , "of course not princess. I was eventually going to come. I just don't want you to get involved in my problems."
"Involved? Are you serious? I got involved in your shit the day you talked to me. How bad can it possibly be?" I was still standing in front of him with my arms crossed and I noticed I was screaming when I stopped talking.
He was still smiling like an idiot looking down at me. What an asshole.
"I'm being serious princess. I don't want to risk these people knowing that I talk to you. You could be in serious danger because of me." He places his hands on my shoulder and came closer leaning down.
"I don't know what I'd do if these people hurt you." For a moment I felt my heart race and my breathing slowed down. I looked at his lips and looked back at his stone cold eyes.
"Who are you talking about?" I said almost whispering it into thin air.
"My uncle is being a dick because he thinks we stole loads of his money a few years ago." He said removing his hands away from my shoulders.
"Did you?"
"Of course not. Me and Damon had shit going on but we would never do such a thing." He yawned and I followed yawning as well.
"Well I mean you're already half naked so why not stay. Just make sure you sleep on the corner of the bed." I turned around and jumped into my bed.
"You sure you don't want me to cuddle you?" He said following behind.
"Corner of the bed or you get the couch." I turned off the light before he could say anything else.
I slipped inside my blanket and I felt him slip in on the edge.
My bed was pretty big so my feet weren't touching him.
As I laid in bed I decided to ask Elijah one more thing.
"Hey Elijah?" I said
"Yes princess?" He replied back softly.
"What's your uncles name?" I said looking up at the ceiling.
