ROSES ✔️

Met with the devil part 2

My hands tighten when the door opened. Elliot didn't mind me messing his clothes, but I do. So I just hold his hands and walk through the open Hall's of the restaurant our family decided to celebrate the reunion.

"You can hold on me. I'll always be here okay? I'll be here right by your side"

His beautifully sculpted face was so near that I froze on my tracks. His warm breath coupled with his intoxicating baritone voice makes my cheeks redden and my toes curled up in anticipation and fear.

I didn't like him being near me, though it does doesn't disgust me, I feel a little bit ticklish and flustered when I'm facing him. I just tighten my hold on him and smile a bit forcefully.

Smiling like a woman suffering constipation.

He just smiled at me and I ignore his intense stare. Soon, we found ourselves subjected through the blinding lights and incredulous stare of my family as well as my relatives.

"Oh my! You have grown up to be beautiful"

"You look stunning now, mind recommending me some products to attain that face of yours?"

"What a good pair. Tomorrow we'll discuss about your relationship with him"

Lots of murmurs and noises made it's way to the dining table and soon, laughter's and stories we're told. I just shook my head and gestured for Elliot to sit beside me. My cousins were looking at me with strange looks and I could see the fascination as well as their approval on my date.

"How did the two of you met?"

"We're classmates in highschool"

Oh's and whistles were thrown as they squeal in delight, their faces turning red as their voices began to get hoarse from shouting.

In actual fact, I didn't mind them teasing me before, but now, not so much. I could feel myself blushing like crazy and being flustered by their blatant stares. My hands form into a fist and I have the urge to whack them off my face. As much as I love them, I don't like them teasing me all night long.

"Oh! Uncle, you're already here!"

Their sights finally let us off and I wandered my eyes when I caught size if the devil incarnate himself. He was busy apologizing to the elders as he ruffled and giggled in between those babies and children he met in the room.

I can't stomach that sight and almost spat at him but a warm hand covered mine tightly. I grip it and look at the owner of the hand, his smile was comforting and his eyes were looking at me. At that point I was already calm, the raging inferno in my heart have already subsided by his comfort.

"Oh you're here, how's Arianne?"

"She's fine"

I replied calmly my tone tinged with a coldness , my eyes boring into him, as if wanting him to die by my stare. How dare he ask me that?! After all he's done to my little sister he has the nerve to ask me if she's fine?!

Even though I really want to bash my head into his  I willed myself not to. I can't ruin the plan, our plan to ruin him and make him experience hell. I'm not the impulsive rebellious teenager but a calm and steady woman whose matured enough to know her priorities and how to set my revenge.

After some talks here and there, I could see the yawns and the rubbing of my cousin's hand into their eyes as they tried to open their eyes. The elders are also tired and we finished and wrap up this successful reunion of ours.

"I'm just going to the restroom, wait for me at the car okay?"

"Mm, go!"

He smiled at me one last time and hurried back to the restroom. The wind was cold and I was glad I decided to wear long sleeves. The smell of Elliot fills the air as I snuggled more into his big and warm trenchcoat. Steps were heard from my side and I immediately stiffen. I know those steps, slow and hard, like a predator waiting for his prey to notice him and then his steps would quicken after the prey turns around.

"Time has made you more beautiful, my little red"

"Fuck off"

He laughed maniacally and I fought the shivers on my spine. I can't let him see me as a weak girl that he can just take advantage of again. I'm not gonna let it happen again, so I face him with my hard and emotionless eyes.

"Do you think you can get away with what you've just done?"

"I've been living freely here and no one treated me as a vigilante before, so to answer your question, I think yes"

His eyes held arrogance and I was about to pinch his face when a warm big hand held me by the waist and pulled me into a warm and wide chest. I look at Elliot, my eyes questioning him, but he just smiled at me.

"We'll be going now. I wish you luck in our day"

The devil himself turned and become a gentleman, like a switch, his mask was already on his face.

"It seems that the two of you have a good relationship,huh? You better take care of her, you know she's my favorite niece, and she's one of my favorites. Don't want her hurting because of some foolishly guy"

"I'm sure she'll be good with me. I'll be going now, hope your business goes well"

And then we're off.

"You should always stay calm"

"I was fricking calm! I just can't do it in front of his face!"

He held my hand again as I struggled in his hold. My glare were enough for a man to flinch but he didn't care nor avoided my stare. I was finally calm again when he suddenly kissed me by my forehead. His warm lips on  me still lingers on my forehead and I immediately blush.

"Ouch! What did I just do!"

"You! You pervert!!"

He just laughs at me and continued to drive while I glared at him hatefully.

"I promise you, he will suffer. And this time, the last laugh will be you"
