1021 Words
I watch him stand up and turn to face me. I furrow my brows as I ask," What are you doing here?"
I notice a worried expression cross his face and then I remember how I was being chased by a wolf in the woods. I figured it must have been a dream but then why would he be worried about me or in my house when I did not invite him in. Something must have shown my thoughts because he had a look of alarm come on his face before he schooled his features.
I slowly back away from him while he keeps inching closer. " Addy please relax. I am not going to hurt you." I start to shake my head at what I was not sure. Maybe denying what he said or what I stupidly believed. I continued to back up until my back hit a wall.. He stopped a few feet away a look of hurt upon his features.
He takes a deep breath and says, "Addison no matter what you think or believe I would not hurt you like that you are very important to me." his voice ending in a heart wrenching plea for me to understand.
I looked at him in confusion shaking my head- but this time knowing the exact reason for it- again and this time saying in a small voice. " You are just saying that we barely even know each other. We just met how can I be important to you."I ended my sentence with a strong voice of disbelief.
He gave a dry smile and said, "You do not understand yet, but once we know each other more I will explain everything.
I parted my lips in disbelief and was very concerned of his sanity. I could not understand why he thinks I would want to get to know him any better after finding out he tried to kill me or that he changed into a WOLF.As he stepped closer I cowered down in fear. I notice that my actions made a little frown of unhappiness appear on his face. His unhappiness continued to grow as I started to beg him to leave my house as I need to be alone to process my thoughts.
He looked completely heartbroken and defeated when he finally gave in. Before he left he said no demanded " We will talk again very soon." I just slide down the wall staring at the door he walked out of.
I continued to sit their for countless minutes when My brain starts to understand why he looked so sad and earnest based of mt reactions to him and why he kept trying to calm me down and get me to trust him. He could be trying to deceive me but my heart would not except that reasoning.
That was something else that I could not wrap my head around why did I care about how he felt or what he said. I should be calling the cops on him for what he did or at the very least feel very afraid of him. However I do not my foolish heart trusts him.
My heart and my brain were confusing me. I could not think about this anymore without getting a massive migraine. As I picked my head up and looked at the cable box on the living room stand I saw that the time was already 10p.m. I figured I could try and do a little studying to clear my head before bed. Once it hit 10:45 I decided to go to sleep although it was a very restless one at that.
The next morning I wake up with a groan as I hear my phone go off. As I answer the phone I realize I am feeling even more tired than usual I let out a sigh as i was expecting to here Liz on the other line to give me my routinely wake up call.Only the voice was different on the other end. It was Masculine and sending a tingle to my very core. " Hey Addy do you want to meet up today at my place to work on the project?" the male voice asks.
It takes a minute for my brain to clear enough to realize that the tingly male voice was Henry on the phone. I take even longer to respond when I remember everything that happened last night and I start to get nervous about what to do. " Uh no that is okay we can just do it over the phone or computer. I say a little shakily.
It stays silent on his end for a moment. I think he can tell that I am not comfortable talking to him anymore. Then just as suddenly he says, " We have to talk in person again you know that right? Especially about last night."He growls out annoyed. At what I had no clue considering I did not do anything at all to make this happen.
I end up pulling the phone away from ear debating on just hanging up and pretending the conversation never even happened. As I was about to do just that and end the call my guilty conscience prevented me from doing that since it is just plain rude. He is also not completely wrong. Even though he did attack me I did not feel very afraid of him.
" What was it that really happened anyway?" I ask curiously. I hear him take a deep breath in and exhale it out slowly before saying, " I can not really explain that right now?"
I scoff at his response then what the hell did he expect us to talk about." well then I guess we will be working on the project over the computer then huh?" I say triumphantly.
He sighs but eventually agrees " Fine but we will do this face to face again I swear it."
I make a face at that and ask for his Skype name and we start messaging about the project up until it is time to go to school.
