"You like to sleep in?" I ask amused, tying my shoe. His hair a mess and his shirt inside out.
"I'll like to sleep with you," he mumbles under his breath and I look up confused.
"Hm?"
"Nothing," he murmurs before kneeling down in front of me, tyi...
"I'm not doing anything," he shrugs, his eyes glinting with humor and I cross my arms.
His big hands goes to my hips, pulling me in and I shake my head pushing myself away but it's no use.
He's so strong what the hell?
I'm stronger, like the rock yeah.
"Come on baby," he leans down pressing a kiss on my nose and the butterflies goes wild.
"I can't, I have work and then homework," I say and he grumbles placing my cap back on that he took.
"I'll drop you off," he says and I'm about to decline but he just gives me a sharp look.
He puts two finger under my chin raising my head and he looks at me before placing a gentle kiss on my lips making my eyes flutter.
I'm so afraid he'll hurt me.
"Let's go," he murmurs and we go to his car and he opens the door for me and I give him a smile.
As we're driving he glances at me.
"What time do you get off?" He asks and I look at him.
"At ten," I mumble, knowing he doesn't like me being out when it's dark and he hums confused not hearing me.
"Quit mumbling you do that a lot," he scolds me and I roll my eyes.
"At ten," I say louder and he sighs.
"I'm picking you up," he stats and I look down.
"You don't have to," I mumble and he glares at me.
"Stop mumbling," he keeps glaring and I sigh out annoyed.
He stops outside the café and I turn to him.
"Thanks," I smile and he nods before his eyes goes behind me and he frowns.
I furrow my eyebrows, about to turn around to see who he is looking at but he grips my chin keeping my head from turning.
"Stay here okay," he says and I tilt my head, "mkay"
"I have work Ace," I laugh and he gives me hard look.
"Stay here," before I know it he locks my door and he's out of the car and inside of the café leaving me shocked.
I frown, did he just lock the door!?
I sigh leaning against the seat, waiting for him. He wouldn't want me to disobey.
~~
"You're so unfair!" I yell at him and he clenches his jaw driving, not even taking a glance at me.
"I have work Ace," I glare at him but he just ignores me taking his phone making a call.
"Stop the car," I demand, since he's not being himself and he rolls his eyes.
"Shut up," he rumbles and I'm about to open my mouth but he speaks in the phone.
"He's there," Ace says lowly and I frown.
Who is he?
I hear someone talk on the other end, "take care of him," Ace mutters.
"If I didn't fucking see him she would've been- just take care of him Luke," Ace says annoyed before ending the call.
"Ace-" I start about to ask him and he sighs.
"Shut up Calla, I'm protecting you" his voice going deeper a sign he's mad.
"From who?" I say frustrated and he takes a glance at me, his gaze going soft.
"I'm sorry," he says, placing a hand on my thigh trying to comfort, "I can't tell you baby."
I scowl at him, scoffing I try to push his hand away but his grip just tightens.
"Ella," he says softly and I sigh.
"Let's go home to me okay?" I nod deciding to give him the silent treatment.
Petty I know but.
The drive over there is silent since I still want an explanation. Before he gets out of the car I storm out, slamming the car after me and I walk up to the doors, he follows me leaving me be.
We get to his place and I before I try to make it to the living room his large strong hands pulls me back by my waist before turning me around in his hold.
"Calla if I could tell you, I would. But I fucking can't," he curses and I look down, avoiding his burning gaze.
"Ella," he sighs, lifting my chin with his finger making our eyes connect.
"I want to know Ace," I stand my ground and he cups my face, his warm hands feeling like heaven.
I wanna Kiss him.
"I can't you'll- you'll just leave," he says low, his eyes holding guilt making me frown.
What is he hiding?
"And I don't want you to leave cara," he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear before pulling me in his chest, his intoxicating smell filling my nostrils.
His arms around me protective, like he's afraid something bad will happen to me.
"I can't afford to lose you baby," he whispers and my eyes start to water.
I never had anyone care for me that much.
And it makes my heart clench.
"I won't leave," my voice comes out muffled due to me being pressed against his hard chest.
Unless he gives me a reason to.
"Please don't," I nearly miss his low voice, my lips turn into a soft smile.
He pulls back a little, making me be able to look up at him.
He leans down placing a gently kiss on my forehead.
