Making You Mine

Chapter 17

The Start of Something

Y/n

My eyes flutter open reluctantly before attempting a stretch of my arms. Attempting. I can't move. I stare straight in-front of me and take in the chest that is evidently confining me to this comfy heaven called a bed. Now, most would think it's nice to be cuddling someone warm, hot (in that way), and strong while resting in a fluffy mattress, however, I didn't go to bed with him so why is he here with me?? I struggle and turn to face my back to him to take a look around my room, f*ck, this ain't my room.

He also, clearly, knows I'm in here, which might send the wrong message.

I pry open his arms and slip out, the cold air embracing me. A shiver crawls up my spine and I squeak in discomfort. Instantly grabbing at a blanket and burrito wrapping myself. It's not as warm. Hmm, sad.

Waddling over to the bathroom I turn on the tub, readying for a bath. At this point, I don't even care that he's in the room, or that this is his room. I toss in a bath bomb that is just chilling in the cabinet, it's lemon scented.

I lock the door before stripping bare and spending a good minute in-front of the mirror. I always do this, picking at my skin and all the flaws I see in myself. I sigh and slip into the bath, trying to distract myself.

My ankles look much better, they aren't purple anymore nor are they cut up, hopefully they stay this way, meaning he doesn't chain me up. I slosh around, letting water spill out, oops. I breathe in and smile, the scent in the air relaxing me even more.

I wish life was this peaceful. I lean back and take notice of the clock. Holy sh*t!!!!

"I'm late!!!!! Schoolllllll!" I scramble out of the tub and snatch a towel, wrapping it around my body before sprinting out of the bathroom, I reach the door to the hallway, it's locked.

"Iseeeee!!!" I scream, forgetting that he has a dark side that could literally kill me.

He snaps awake and stares at me, eyes wide. I squeak, remembering I'm only wearing a towel. His gazes digs into me before I give up being embarrassed.

"I need to get to school, can you unlock the door?" His once interested gaze turns hard.

"No. You are not going back there."

"Yea I am. I actually have do graduate, it's kinda a thing." I snap back.

"It's fine, I'll just get them to graduate you." He sits up and scratches his head.

"That's a tempting offer but I still need to go."

He stares and me for a good couple minutes before sighing and walking over and unlocking the door.

"This is only because you asked me, instead of trying to get out yourself." I smile and rush out towards my room to get dressed.

I sprint out the door and jump into the car to get there quicker. I end up arriving an hour late. Only Yulia is there though.

"Hey Yulia!" I smile and trot over to her. She turns and her face lights up.

"Y/n!!" She rushes over and hugs me. "Haha you smell like lemon." I blush at the thought that she was smelling me, that's kinda embarrassing.

"Yea, I took a bath."

"Is that why you're late?" I chuckle and nod. "Well, that's ok, anyway, want some tea?"

"Yes please." I plop down on a chair and relax into the cushion.

"Here." She places the China cup filled with tea in-front of me. "Where's Ise? You guys are normally... together."

"Yea, he's not coming today. I think he's tired, he was out late last night." I smile to make my lie more believable, I honestly don't know when he got home because I was asleep.

"Really?? That means we'll have the whole day together!" I smile as she jumps up and down.

"Let's play a game!!" She smiles at me, with a weird hint of something in her eyes.
