Frostbite

CHAPTER 5

Irritating

Artemisia's POV:

I sensed movement and a muffled voice behind me and I ducked down just in time to avoid the kick that would have landed on my face otherwise. I wasn't given time to turn around and see the attacker as my neck was already in an arm lock. Although I could tell even without looking who was trying to strangle me. I wasn't going to give in to an arm lock even when it was choking me. I, being the reckless shit, back kicked him in the stomach which loosened his grip on my neck but caused me to slam against the ground with him because of his hold on me. I quickly got up and faced a tall fair-skinned man who had sandy-hair with sparkling grey eyes and went under the name Demon. This was his way of greeting me, a fight right off the bat.

I took a defensive position as he charged towards me with a right swing. Right when he was close to me I turned on to my left heel and moved out of his way and then grabbed his arm and neck and pinned him face forward on the ground and twisted his arm to his back and pressed the side points of his neck tightly so that he won't get up.

"Can't you go with a normal "Hello" and avoid being strangled by me?" I said.

"That way .....your...hands...... won't touch....me!" He said between breaths.

"I guess I should stop hoping that you'll have decency someday." I remarked as I stood up leaving him out of my grasp. He turned around lying flat on his back on the floor.

"Why did you even hope for such a pointless thing in the first place?" He asked slowly in a seductive way.

"You really are a Demon!" I exclaimed.

He got up and knelt on one knee in front of me. "Then see even the demon himself kneels in front of you. What does that make you now?" He playfully asked me.

"Seriously I am amazed at myself, why have I left you alive for so long?" I demanded as I looked upwards.

"Because admit it, you have fallen for me!" He whispered in my ear.

"Fallen? That would happen if I was even standing for you!" I pushed him away.

"Tch! You are such a mood killer." He whined.

"Whatever! Now can you be sober?" I said and turned around to the get the food that I brought for him.

"You make it impossible when you are this hot!" He hugged me from behind, his fingers pressed firmly against my torso.

 "REYN FOSTER!"I yelled.

 "ARTEMISIA FROST!" He also yelled and then chuckled.

He finally let go of me and I took the bag that was lying against the wall and shoved it in his face. He grinned foolishly.

" You make me meals and say that you don't love me." He stated as he took the bag from me.

 "You call it generosity, it's not my fault that you are so bottom loving  that even my act of kindness makes you fall for me." I said.

"Savage! Now if you are not going to join me I don't mind finishing it off by myself." He said as he sat on the floor and took out the boxes and bottles of apple cider.
