Where Demons Hide

{~5~}

"Is that an umbrella?" He smirks at my shaking hand still clutching the umbrella for dear life. " Y-yes" I reply shakily and curse myself for stuttering. He smiles devilishly and looks towards the sky than back at me "I dont see any rain coming any time soon so why are you-" he starts but I cut him off "Why are you here? You can't be here!". His brows furrow and he looks at me with a soft look in his eyes " Can I come in?" I am quick to reply "No!" His eyebrows rise at my reply but I quickly add "Grandma is in there". I try my best to sound convincing but he starts to chuckle " You can't lie to me, Amber".

Oh no! You just had to say my name. Now how am i suppose to keep my resolve strong when it is weakening before I even made it. Damn it hunter! I am snapped out of my trance when hunter snaps his fingers in front of my face "Earth to Amber. What are you thinking about, catulus?" " Huh? Oh no nothing you should go please I can't have you here hunter. " I plead to him. "Xavier" he says. I frown in confusion " What?". He looks at me and says "Xavier. My name is Xavier." "Oh wow" is only what I could say. His name is befitting. It gives a dark and powerful vibe just like him. [Kitten]

I hear him chuckle " That's what you are going to say for my name 'oh wow' ?" " I-er....." I trail off, not knowing what to say then suddenly the wind picked up its pace and I shivered because I was wearing only a shirt and some sweat pants. My actions did not go unnoticed by hunt- I mean Xavier and he stood in front of me and blocked the cold wind from reaching me. " Thank-" I start but he cuts me off "Are you trying to get sick! Get inside!" He all but barks.

I was clearly surprised by his sudden mood change which slightly terrified me. I squeak out a small 'OK' and start to go inside. As I turn my back to him I hear the door close behind me. I look over my shoulder and see him walking behind me. My eyes widen as I turn around he stops to look at me. " Oh, no, no, no! Where do you think you are going mister?" I shake my head. He smiles cheekily and rubs the back of his neck " I came to talk so I will do so and leave".

I sigh. He won't leave until he talks about whatever he wants to. I gesture him to follow me to the living/sitting room and tell him to take a seat. " So what is it you want to talk about. I don't think that we have a connection so why should we have a talk?" I look at him with the best confident face I could muster but deep down I was hurting. But why? He looks down but his eyes land on the book that I was about to read before he came. He raises an eyebrow at me I shrug dismissively " Grandma's" He doesn't look convinced and he folds his arms across his chest. His strong arms across his buff chest.

I close my eyes and lean back in my seat. I sigh again. Why my mind had to say that I have no idea. I peak one eye open and see him staring at me with an amused smile. Oh Lord! His stunning smile. And are those...dimples? Oh, my God! He has dimples!!! "Amber are you ok? You have been staring at me for quite a while now." He says cheekily. I role my eyes " I wasn't staring I was thinking." He chuckles and wiggles his eyebrows " About what? Me?" I blush and look away. I admit it or not he was correct.
