~Annabel~

I awoke in the morning to my alarm going off. I groaned and cursed under my breath before reaching for the clock. But my body was being held down. I looked down to see a pair of arms pulling me close to a hard chest. Then I remembered last night.

"Riz... We need to get up for school." I heard a low growl before his arms tightened around me.

"Just five more minutes..." His voice faded out as he drifted off.

I wiggled my body so that I was facing him. I had to admit, he looked absolutely adorable when he was asleep. But sadly, I had to ruin that. I slowly reached my hand up and it came slamming down on his cheek. He jumped awake with a startled look and fell off the bed. I started cracking up.

"That was not funny! You will be punished." His flabbergasted look turned into an evil smirk.

My eyes grew wide as I realized my mistake. In the blink of an eye he was straddling me on the bed and holding my hands above my head. I blushed at the position we were in and his smirk slowly slipped away.

"החל מעכשיו." He whispered.

I studied Hebrew junior year, but I didn't quite know what that meant. His hands trailed down to my sides and before I could register anything, he started tickling me. I tried wriggling out of his grasp but his body was holding me down.

"S-stop I-it R-Riz! P-pleeassse!" I said while laughing and trying to breathe at the same time.

He stopped abruptly and rolled over to lay beside me. I looked over and noticed him staring at the ceiling. He was distant. I tore my eyes from him and adverted them to the ceiling. I was trying to figure out what he was staring at.

"Annabel." He slowly turned his head towards me.

"Y-yeah." I silently cursed at myself for stuttering.

He took a deep breath before saying "אני אוהב אותך."

The funny thing was, I knew what that meant. He loves me? Maybe I wasn't imagining last night.

"I know Hebrew..." I allowed that to sink in for a moment before his face reddened and he stuffed it into the pillow.

"Fuck." He whispered into the pillow and I started chuckling.

He was so cute when he was embarrassed. I got out of bed and ran into the bathroom with a change of clothes before jumping into the shower. After throwing on a yellow sundress with matching flip flops and straightening my hair, I walked out of the bathroom. My breathing hitched. In front of my bed, standing in all his glory, was Riz. His boxers were hanging dangerously low on his hips, and his v line aimed towards unknown land. My eyes lingered on his abs.

"Like what you see?" He said with a smirk.

"Nope." I popped the p before grabbing my book bag and walking out of my room.

He followed after me once he had his clothes on and stopped me before I reached the staircase.

"You sure?" He whispered huskily.

I tried not to look at his piercing gaze as I blushed lightly. The truth was, I did like what I saw. A little too much. I would never tell him that though.

"You don't need to tell me. I can hear it loud and clear. In your mind..." I facepalmed myself.

I totally forgot about that. Of course he knew I liked his body. He knows anything I think about. That kind of pissed me off though.

"Look. I don't appreciate you reading my thoughts. It's really annoying, and you're totally invading my privacy." I glared at him before running down the stairs and heading out the front door.

"Bel. I'm sorry! Belle wait!" He came after me like I assumed he would but I continued walking down the sidewalk.

He pulled me back and spun me around to face him. He was wearing an apologetic/worried look but he tried to mask it behind a hard expression. I could see right through it though.

"Annabel, please. I'm sorry. I won't read your mind ever again." He held a sincerity in his beautiful eyes and I had no choice but to believe him.

Just to test him though, I started thinking about something that would get a reaction out of him if he heard it. I thought about us having passionate sex on the beach. I hid the blush that threatened to grow on my cheeks. His face was indifferent as he continued to look into my eyes.

"Ok. I believe you." I smiled and pulled him into a hug.

He wrapped his arms tightly around me and it seemed as if he'd never let go. I chuckled into his chest and he pulled back to look at me again. He grinned and laced our hands together before pulling me down the sidewalk. He stopped after a few minutes and started tapping on his phone. A few seconds later, his car pulled up beside us. The window rolled down and we came face to face with Chapin and the boy she was with last night.

"Hey guys. Hop in." Chapin shot us a knowing look and I went beet red before getting into the back seat.

Chapin got out of the passenger seat and got in beside me. She smiled warmly at me and I returned a smile. Riz jumped in the front and then we were off.

"Hello. My name is Cilix." The boy in the driver's seat directed it towards me.

"I'm Annabel. Nice to um... Meet you." He chuckled at my response and looked into the rear view mirror until our eyes met.

His eyes were a deep green color and his brown hair was curly and semi-long. He was attractive, but Riz definitely beat him in that department.

"Oh come on! I am so much more attractive than him!" His comment surprised me but I replaced it with a scowl.

"What the hell?! Can all of you read my mind or something? That is seriously fucked up!" I yelled loudly and Chapin muffled a giggle.

"I've seen hell. It's not pleasant. And yes, we can. And yes, it is. But I'm still more attractive than... Riz." At that moment I just wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole.

All three of them laughed and I put my head in my hands. Oh my god. I just wanted to die.

"Now you know he wouldn't let that happen." Cilix pointed to Riz and I was honestly losing my patience.

"Dude, stop reading her mind. I know it's tempting..." Riz shot me a quick smirk. "But we should respect her privacy. Either that, or she'll kill us all." I had to struggle against myself so I didn't jump the seat and maul someone's face off.

A beautiful laugh cut through all the tension. I turned to see Chapin cracking up.

"You guys are just too funny." She managed to say through her laughing fit.

I huffed and looked out the window. This angel thing was pissing me off already. I was scared of thinking about anything because I knew they could read my mind at anytime. I guess I'd have to do a lot less thinking around them.

We arrived at school with fifteen minutes to spare. I quickly got out and started walking towards the entrance when a hand lightly wrapped around my waist.

"I'm sorry about them. You're the first human who knows about us so they like to have their fun." I refused to acknowledge Riz.

He sighed before letting go of me. I started walking away but suddenly, I stopped. I turned around and marched back over to where he was standing. I slapped him right across the face. His eyes widened and I gasped, regretting what I've done.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to... I'm-" his face contorted into confusion before he laughed. He full out laughed and it was my turn to be confused.

"I deserved that." He smiled and pulled me towards the school.

Ok, Yes. He did deserve it. But I thought he did but didn't at the same time. It was rather contradicting. We arrived in homeroom and sat down in the back. My eyes wandered towards the door and I froze. Carlos came sauntering in. His eyes fell on me and he grinned. He walked towards me and I went rigid.

"Hey Annabel. What happened last night? You kind of just left. I got worried." His eyes flew to Riz and his smile faltered for a second before he looked back towards me.

He obviously didn't notice my discomfort, but Riz did.

"She was a little shaken up after the almost accident last night, so I took her home." Carlos directed his eyes back towards Riz and things got intense.

"I think she can speak for herself, Owens." He spat at Riz.

If I thought I was uncomfortable before, I was wrong. Anger was radiating off of the both of them and I prayed for the bell to ring. Answering my prayers, it rung seconds later and I hurried out of my seat and to my next class. I must of took a wrong turn because the late bell rang and I ended up in an empty hallway. Great. I turned around and came face to chest with Carlos. I slowly rose my eyes to look at him. His eyes were black and his lips were pulled into a sadistic smile.

"Hello, Annabel."
