MELROSE

CHAPTER 12

Don't forget to vote and comment!

I stood in front of a house that was as grand as the mansion I lived in, trying to gather my thoughts together while ringing the doorbell.

Okay. I got home, got slapped and thrown up on, I drove blindly and now I'm here.

Wait.

I blinked and stared at the familiar and not so familiar house before me.

Shit.

All of places, all people, my blinded driving brought me here?

I flirted with the idea of leaving for a short span of five seconds and made a U turn, already walking away when ...

"Who is it?" His voice growled through the unopened door. "And what the fuck are you doing coming here at 11pm on a Tuesday? Derrick if that's you, fuck off and go back to uni else I'll call Mandy and you won't like that."

What the ...

I made another U turn and stopped directly in front of the door, wondering what he was going to say next.

"And if you're a girl from my school, you could've just called me. I have a strict no sex in the house policy."

Such information.

I snorted. "Well it's a good thing I don't plan on sexing anyone anytime soon."

The door snapped open immediately. "Vampiress? What are you doing here?"

"I thought this was the strip club." I couldn't help but reply.

He ignored my comment, assessing my current state, giving me time to register the fact that he was wearing the hoodie I had given him years ago, with my name printed at the back. He still had it? Because I may or may not have thrown the one he gave away.

"What the fuck happened to you?"

"Let's see Don ..."

"Shut up. I'm not in the mood for any of your sarcastic comments right now. Let's get you cleaned up." With that he pulled me in and shut the door with a loud bang.

After a long bathroom session I managed to wash out all the puke from my body. I'm not mad at my mother, not in the slightest, I'm just ... Disappointed. In a way, that's selfish of me.

I stepped out of the shower, clad in a towel I found and hoped no one else had used especially Don, groaning when it hit me that I had no clothes to wear.

I faced the wall, preparing to slam my head against it at my stupidity until I caught sight of a human on the bed.

Of course.

I walked over, raising an eyebrow at Don who was pretending to be asleep but was failing badly.

I kicked him. "Wake up you ass. I need clothes."

"Did you really have to kick me?"

"Have you met me? I need clothes. Now."

He groaned and rolled off the bed exposing the denim shorts and ... I flashed him a death glare.

"Is that pink?"

He smirked at me. "Girls look hot in pink, don't they?"

I closed my eyes, realising an irritated sigh. "Donald fucking Mancini I swear if you don't ..."

"Relax Miss Tantrum. Here." He tossed me a black sweatshirt. I thought he was going to leave but he plopped back down on the bed.

"Don this is the part when you leave."
