Chapter nine

09.

    XARA. 

   He smiled at me and stretched his hand forward to me, I gaze at it for a long time before taking it and getting up from by butt. I stared at him and took his figure to memory. 

    I can't seem to take in his figure well cause of his darkness but his grey eyes shine in the dimmed light of the city. 

    "Are you okay? "

  He asked smiling at me while I just stared at him, not saying a single word. 

    "I'm Blake. What's your name? "

   He asked, looking at me. He can't possibly be dangerous, he just saved me so it's probably okay. 

   "Xara. "

  I muttered and he nodded before saying my name over and over again as if wanting to feel it's at sound. 

   "That's a nice name so mind telling me why you're here, all alone by yourself and what does guys want with you? "

   He muttered and took a step closer to me. 

   "I was actually waiting for red. And those guys, I don't know them. They just came out of nowhere and grabbed me, I don't know what they want. "

   "Wow, you know red? "

   He uttered, a smirk dancing at the corner of his lips and I stared at him suspiciously. Why does he sounds like he knows red more than I do? 

   "Yes? "

  I uttered, unsure of what to say and he smirked harder. "Do you know red? "

   I couldn't help but to ask. 

    "Don't mind about that. I'm gonna take you home. "

  He muttered and I nodded. 

   He led me to His car and surprisingly drove me to Red's house. How did he knew Red's house? 

There must be something he's not telling me.

    I smiled gratefully at him and got out then watched him drove away before I walked in with a sigh. 

    I smiled. Red is home. 

  I walked happily into the house but got stopped by one of the guards. 

   He let me go after seeing my face and asking some insane questions before I walked inside the house. 

   Arghhh.. This girl again, I don't like her one bit. I feel like poking at the sight of her.

   I breathed out and ignored her presence but she stood in front of me. Why's she dressed like this anyways? 

   "What do you want? "

   I muttered and she scoffed as if I've said a bad thing. 

   "Isn't that a question I should be asking you? Why are you still in this house? "

   She uttered, irritatedly and crossed her arms over her chest. 

    I rolled my eyes and took my eyes to the door before taking my gaze back to her. 

    "Why so you ask me questions? Must I answer all your questions and why do you speak to me as if I've done something terrible to you? Have I ever crossed your path wrongly before? No, right then why won't you allow me a breathing space. You keep talking gibberish that red is yours, that I should stay away and all stupid things but I really don't have time for all these. I'm not into your stupid red if that's what you wanna hear. "

   I snapped but she suddenly started laughing. 

    "You're not into my stupid red? Then what are you doing here? I don't exchange words with enemies girl. 

   I'm a model with very busy schedule but when I decide to take my time on you, I fight like a venom. I burn you slowly, I'm gonna make your life miserable, you're gonna regret ever crossing paths with me. Marks my words well, bitch and think about it. "

   She glared and walked away. 

   I finally released a breath I didn't realize I've been holding. 

  What's seriously wrong with her? 

 Is this how they do in the human world? 

   But what's she gonna do? I don't even care, I'm gonna be gone soon. 

  Today marks the third day. My third day starts here soon already. 

   I've just twelve days to spend here. I better start finding ways. 

  I've to look for something to do and where to live and I've to do these within the next twelve days. 

  I don't even want to see red anymore right now. She can hold her red if she wants. It's not like I like him anyways . only that I need him to survive in their stupid human world. He caused me to be in this dilemma. I'm not into him.

  He's rude and mean. Never ask questions and he's filled with too much mysteries. He lives in such a large house and I haven't seen him leave this house for the past two days expect yesterday when he left with that weird tattooed guy. 

    I don't even know who I'm living with and when I try to ask questions, he shuts me off. 

  I breathed out and retired to my room with a aim of finding how to live after the next twelve days. 

       ~~~

   I shifted away as a pair of arms sneaked up around my waist. 

The cologne of the person. It sounds so familiar.. So much like red. 

   But that's impossible, red can't be in my room. What will he be doing in my room and to top it all, my bed? 

   That's crazy. The Red I know will never thought of doing that.

   I felt that same pair of arms pulled me back and I groaned loudly before turning back, my eyes meeting with dark ocean ones. 

   What? 

  Why is red here? What is he doing here? And why his he hugging me? 

I must be dreaming.

    "Red...? "

   I tried to talk but immediately, soft lips descended on mine and I gasped. 

      He pulled me to his chest as his lips played with mine, asking for permission. 

   I groaned and found myself opening up. 

    This is crazy. Absolutely crazy.

This is crazy. Why is red kissing me and to top it all, why am i kissing him back?
