Avoid

Chapter 9

Jodie left early this morning, she said she had some things she needed to get done. The girls still hadn't come back yet as I checked to see incase they wanted some breakfast. So I decided to just make some tea and toast for myself.
Mateo's door creaked open making me jump, I thought everyone was out I didn't hear him come back. He comes strolling into the kitchen to boil the kettle. I dropped my toast, then quickly recovered picking it back up. He looked like he had his do not disturb sign back on his face.
But that wasn't why I dropped my toast, he was stood in nothing but a towel, his wet hair swept back. His bright blue eyes shining. But most of all his god dam glistening body was calling to me. I licked my lips, he is smoking hot. My eyes were all over him scanning him, his toned chiseled abs, his chest, his muscular shoulders and back.
My mouth was watering. I still couldn't tear my eyes away from his sculptured body. The shaded dark grey and black tattoos, they were amazing. I noticed on his back a tiger on his shoulder blade surround by grass as if hiding. His arm had a lot on, and I could make out just between the top of his arm and chest a warrior, shaded into a clock next to it.

"Your toast no good? First you throw it on your plate and now your not eating it." His voice was low.   
  How did he even notice? I'm pretty sure he hadn't even given me a glance.
  I wasn't expecting him to speak to me.
"Erm.. yeah it's okay."
"Hm. You done ogling me now then?" He quirked his brow smirking.
Shit!!! He'd seen me. I mentally cursed at myself.
"Well your stood there wearing nothing but a towel! Plus I was intrigued by your tattoos."
"Your intrigued by my tattoos? That and my physique." He chuckled.
I nodded. "You think very highly of yourself..."
I say as I put my mug in the sink.
He started walking towards me, I backed up against the kitchen cabinet trying to keep the distance. My legs felt shaky and weak. Then he leaned in close to my face my eyes couldn't help looking down at his glorious body, oh boy he had his nipple pierced. I bit my lip, stopping myself from telling him that I'd like to touch him and how insanely hot his piercing was.
His face was still inches from mine. His eyes bored into mine, a slow megawatt smile crept upon his face, he reached round me to grab the sugar. Then stalked back over to the kettle shaking his head.
I was now sweating! For a silly moment I thought he was going to kiss me.
"Should I not think highly of myself? I've been told plenty that I'm good looking.."
'Yes, you look like heaven but your still the devil.'

He shot his head to me tilting it to the side.
"What did you just say?"
   I put my hand over my mouth. Oh no, please, please, tell me I didn't say that out loud. I was now going red, no! No! No! I did not surely. I shifted from foot to foot, not looking him in the eyes.
He was slowly coming towards me again, my feet were stuck to the floor. I just stared at the ground.
His big hand cupped under my chin lifting it up to look at him. I still wouldn't look at him though, I tried hard not to meet his eyes.
"Look at me." He demanded.
   His thumb brushed over my bottom lip, stopping me from biting it. I looked up into his deep blue eyes getting lost in them at sea. His eyes floated down to my lips, then back to my eyes.
  He leaned round to whisper in my ear.
"Your right I am the devil..." He said in his rich gravelly voice.
   Then walked off taking his tea with him. When he got to his bedroom door he slammed it.
  Is he pissed off? All I want to do is go knock on his door, just to ogle him some more..

No Lacey snap out of it. He's just told me he's the devil. He even knows it, he can't play nice too long. I'm shocked he warned that guy looking out for me and Jodie. Oh and that he'd helped me to the kitchen, he didn't have to but yet he did. When we are alone it's like he's slowly letting his guard down, and I'm chiselling down the ice from his cold heart. Sometimes his walls are so high up, but I can't help but want to break through.

Lisa flings the door open interrupting my thoughts .
  "Hey girl" she smiles.
"Hey Lisa!" ....
  "Danny and Tom wouldn't stop talking about you last night after you left. Mateo was getting pissed, and kept saying don't you have anything better to talk about. It was funny, it was literally like watching old men bickering." She laughed shaking her head with amusement.

"Why what were they saying?" I ask curiously.
   "How hot you are, Danny said he wasn't going to stop asking you out till you agreed, Tom said he was going to fuck you. That's when they all got pulled apart."
"Huh? Pulled apart?" I say in disbelief.
"Yeah, they were drunk and started pushing each other, you know just gripping each other and stuff. Men!" She chuckled.
"Oh. Are they all mates still?"
"Yeah of course they wouldn't let a girl come between their friendship. They have a one track mind. Anyway I'm gonna go get changed then do you fancy going clothes shopping?"
"Good! Yeah I'd like that."
