My Guardian Demon

Chapter 22: My Final Decision.

My Guardian Demon

I woke to the blinding light streaming through my window, piercing my half-closed eyes like shards of glass. Groaning, I twisted in my bed, pulling the covers over my head in a feeble attempt to block it out. The warmth of the blankets lulled me back into that sweet edge of sleep, where dreams began to blur with reality.

Then—bang, bang, bang! Loud knocks shattered the peace, echoing through my room like a battering ram.

"Wake up Athena, you've got ten minutes to get your lazy arse out of bed and dressed or I am leaving without you and you can walk to school in the rain," He yelled through my door, then I heard his heavy footsteps become quieter as he went downstairs.

Cant, I just stay in bed forever?

Lailah and I were out for ages last night after we retrieved a pregnancy test to prank my brother, just getting to know each other. It's nice to speak to another girl apart from Shannon. To be honest I'm not a big fan of other girls, as I find it hard to get on with them as most of them are very bitchy.

The only thing I had to do was find someone who my brother had slept with who would be willing to lie to him about being pregnant. Luckily the last person he slept with was a sweetheart and didn't live too far. We have spoken a few times, so I messaged her, and now I'm just waiting for a reply.

The worst thing about today is I have my most hated teacher just before p.e which I'm not particularly fond of. Being clumsy does not help at all as I'm always falling over or bumping into things. That's why no one chooses me for their teams and I don't blame them.

Luckily Shannon isn't the best at p.e either so we stick together, and when we are outside on the field with the boys Lewis likes to embarrass us.

I can already tell that today isn't going to go well, the feeling I have in my stomach is making me uneasy. I slide out of my bed and trudge over to the bathroom to take a quick shower and brush my teeth. Using my favourite shampoo that smells of apples, which is the only fruit I will eat because you can cover it with chocolate.

You can cover strawberries too but I don't like them.

My brothers always scold me for eating too much of it, hence why they hide it all the time and ration me to how much I can eat. 

I turn off my shower and reach for the towel that I draped over the bath so I could wrap it around my body. The cold air hit my skin making me tremble and goosebumps ran up my body. Pulling the shower curtain to the side to see Zac stood there.

"Holy shit," I screamed at the top of my lungs, clinging my towel to my naked body but unfortunately I lost my balance.

Falling forward I shut my eyes tightly ready for the pain I was about to feel when I would collide with the floor but instead, two strong arms wrapped around me, keeping me steady.

I hesitantly opened one of my eyes to see a smirking Zac, "You swore," He said.

Here I am, in the arms of a gorgeous demon with just a towel on... wait I'm just wearing my towel in front of him.

Oh my god.

I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks at the thought of him seeing my body if it was to fall off my body.

maybe it isn't a bad thing if he saw you naked, I'd like to see him without any clothes. Shut up! Bad Athena.

"Are you daydreaming about me, clumsy?" He teased.

My heart fluttered at his nickname for me.

"You wish," I scoffed as he chuckled darkly.

"Oh, I can make your thoughts come true, if you want that is," He suggested with lust in his eyes, I couldn't help but notices him trail up my body.
