Into The Dark

12.

The sunlight seeped through the window, falling onto Selassi's face which made her eyes flutter open. All night, she struggled to sleep well as last night tormented her, forcing her to wake up in bouts of sweat periodically.

Selassi felt completely defeated, thinking of the words that the figure had mentioned to her. "Beware of the clock, your end is near" was all that replayed, it overwhelmed her to the point in which she cried softly again.

Her head pounded from the headache of these problems that seemed to plague her, it seemed like there was no end in sight to this torture that was inflicted on her. Moving slightly,  James' arm held onto her waist and looking at him, she took in the details of his face.

The way his plump lips parted and how his face contorted into some weird frown as his chest moved up-down. There was no denying that last night had blown her mind and her back out simultaneously, he was attentive and intentional catering to her sexual needs but what struck her the most was the way he looked at her while the fucked. Something in his eyes showed more than lust, a glimpse of undying affection lingering in his pupils that made her heart flutter.

But despite how he made her feel last night, she knew that she made a grievous mistake. She thought that getting even with Theo would make her feel better but all it did was reveal that this petty act was eating he up from the inside.

She wanted to cry but she knew that she didn't deserve to play the victim in something that she was a willing participant of. Lifting his arm off her, she swiftly sat up and hung her head low, lost in her thoughts.

Soft kisses were planted on her back as she sighed calmly, his legs showed up either side of her as his arms lazily wrapped itself around her waist. He placed his chin on her shoulder whilst Selassi stared into space, thinking of the demon's facial details.

" What's on your mind?" He said in a husky tone, littering a few kisses on her shoulder.

" I saw something while we were... you know. Anyway, there was something in this room, watching us while we did our thing and it told me 'Beware of the clock, your end is near'.What do you think this means?" She turned to look at him. Her eyes caught a blank expression in his eyes before it shifted into concern.

" I think that you're seeing things again and I know just thing to ease your worries" He muttered, sucking her neck. But Selassi wasn't convinced, she had a funny feeling that he would try to dismiss her once again but she wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

" I really can't believe you, you think that I'm mad, don't you?" She got up and facing him. 

James only could chuckle, he didn't why she was getting so worked up about this demon thing when there were more important things to worry about like them being together.

" All I know is that your grief over your parents has consumed you entirely that you think something is lurking around you but only you can see this and no one else sees it. One can say that you're probably paranoid and possible in disbelief that your parents are dead." He said, cupping her face.

Her hand met with his face such frustration that he almost fell on the floor. His eyes brewed with shock as he saw the look of pure anger marked on her face, she walked to the bathroom and as she was about to close the door, her head turned.

" You better not be here when I'm done. Get the fuck out of here" Her poisonous words left her mouth while James stood in disbelief of what had occurred.

The door slam shut, she proceeded to shower as James walked to the bathroom door, ready to say something but he knew that anything he said would anger her further. Deciding against it, he got changed and simply left.
