The Devil’s Innocent Girlfriend

CHAPTER 7 - Lust and Envy

Harper woke up the next morning with a sore in her neck. She just realized that she had fallen asleep on the table last night. Adam must’ve finished the whole thing by himself. When she wakes up, the first thing he saw was Adam’s sleeping face. He still looked appealing even with messy hair, his lips were slightly parted. She cringed a bit when she saw that he was actually drolling on the table. She couldn’t help but chuckle. She stretches out her hands, making the blanket fell on the carpeted floor.

She went on to the kitchen after putting the blanket on Adam. She brewed some coffee inside the cabinet that she found and took out some eggs from the refrigerator. This is the least she could do to repay his kindness. Adam woke up after he smelled a nice brewed coffee and the chopping sounds from his kitchen.

“Morning…Adam!” She turned around and smiled at him sweetly. He fell silent when he saw her. The sunlight fell on her face from the glass window beside the kitchen set. He’s captivated all over again by her innocence and youthfulness. “Umm...morning,” he answered shortly while scratching the back of his head. “Do you like omelet?” she asked again while pouring him a cup of coffee. It smells divine.

“I’ll eat anything that you make.” He replied with a wide grin. This would be the first time he ate an omelet, and he can’t wait to taste the one that she makes. Not long after, she served the food on the plate and put it in front of him. “You had a lot of food supplies in your place, but you can’t cook. It was such a waste.” Harper said as she put a spoonful of omelet into her mouth.

He looked at the food intently like he was studying it. “I know it didn’t look convincing, but at least I can assure you it was still eatable…” Harper said as she saw his blank expression. “It’s perfect!” he suddenly cuts. He also took a bite, and his face lights up. “You’re very good in this, Harper.” He complimented, causing Harper to giggle. “It was okay…I guess.” She said, looking down into her plate.

“Shoot! We’ll be running late for school!” Harper’s face suddenly went stiff after she saw the time on the clock. “Umm…Can I took a shower here? If that’s okay with you?” Harper asked timidly at him. He choked out the omelet from his mouth because of shock.

“What’s wrong? It’s not like we’re going to take a bath together or anything…” This time, he splurted the coffee. “What? Why did you have to take a bath? Can you just skip it?” Adam asked. Harper raised one of her eyebrows as she finds his question rather funny. “Oh, come on, Adam. Don’t be such a stingy.” Harper strode into his bedroom and went into his bathroom as if she owns the place.   

Adam raked his hair in frustration. His dirty mind just wandered towards the bathroom. He decided to just change his clothes for today. He just took off his shirt when he heard Harper called him. “Uuhhh…Adam, where is the towel?” she shouted from inside the bathroom. He cursed out loud before he took a clean towel and knocked softly on the bathroom door.

“Harper, can I come in?” he asked nervously. “Okay…but promised me you won’t look.” She replied. Adam went in with such a determination to not look at her naked body. If one of his brothers knew, they must’ve clapped over him. It was such an achievement for him. “Here…” he said while handed her the towel. He closed his eyes with his right hand.  

Harper pulled the towel a little bit too hard, pulling Adam together with the towel. All of a sudden, their naked body pressed into each other. His hands were on her waist, and they both froze while seeing each other bodies. She had a perfect size of breasts and curves. Her fair skin was moist, and he loves the subtleness of it. “Aaarrghhhh!!” Harper screamed loudly as she picked up the towel from the floor and ran outside the bathroom. Adam was still standing inside the bathroom with his hard member. s**t! He cursed out.

Did he just saw her naked? The prince of lust failed to seduce a naked woman inside his bathroom. He felt pity for himself. It’s not like he hasn’t seen a naked woman before, but she’s just perfect that she was able to arouse him within a few seconds. He now had to ‘finish’ his own business by himself.

When he walked out of his room, he saw Harper still sitting rigidly on the long sofa waiting for him. “Harper…” Adam started, wanting to explain himself. “Can we go now? We’re already late…” Harper cuts off as she smiled awkwardly at him. They hopped into the elevator silently while he kept his eyes fixated on her. “Let’s just pretend that never happened, shall we?” Harper said while smiling at him. Suddenly, they heard a ‘ping’ sound from the elevator, indicating they had arrived in the basement.

This woman is unbelievable! He thinks. At first, he thought that she was going to be mad at him. But seeing how calm she was, he felt a little bit relieved. “So, we’re cool?” Adam asked as he parked his car in the school parking lot. Harper saw other students were gossiping about them because they came together.

“What did he look in her?” “Look at her clothes? What the hell is he thinking?” “She must’ve used her body to seduce him.” Harper walked in big steps. She couldn’t bear to hear another nasty thing people talked about herself.

Adam grabbed her hand from behind and put his arm over her shoulder. “Adam, what are you doing? People stared at us!” Harper gave him a deadly glare. “Let them be! They will talk about us anyway.” He said in a stern voice and kept walking. Adam pulled her to sit beside him in the front row.

“Excuse me, You’re sitting in my place.” Rachel said disdainfully. Harper hates her to the core, but she didn’t want to create another drama this morning. So she reluctantly decided to get up from her chair. Adam unexpectedly followed her, and Rachel stopped him. “Adam, baby… That is your place. You don’t need to leave.” Rachel said, faking her voice as sweet as possible for him.

He shoved her hands rather harshly. “I’m not your baby… I’ll sit with her whenever she goes!” he replied to her coldly. She looked shocked by his sudden change of attitude towards her. Yesterday, they even had lunch together at the school canteen. “Stop right there!” Rachel said. Harper turned around to face her unwillingly. “Have you slept with him?” Rachel sneered at her. Harper’s hand itched to slap her, but Adam held her hand before it could reach Rachel’s face.

“Stop it, Harper! She’s not worthed.” He said, pulling her with him. Other students inside the class were started to pay attention to their unusual conversation. Rachel was furious that she almost can felt smoke came out from the top of her head.

****************

Later that day, Rachel was eating a large pint of ice cream by herself in the ice cream shop. She felt betrayed by Adam. Never in her life, she lets man uses her. The man usually worshipped her, and she was always over the cloud. How could Adam do this to her? She still remembers how cold he was towards her this morning at class. She sobbed as she continues eating her chocolate chip ice cream.

She didn’t realize that someone took a seat in front of her. Rachel lifted up her face and looked at the handsome man in front of her. He has black hair and a relatively sharp chin. His eyes also had the same attractive aura. He is almost as handsome as Adam, but Adam is more of her type. “Who are you?” Rachel asked, staring directly into his gray eyes.

“Why is a beautiful woman like you eating ice cream alone in the middle of the day? Can I join you?” he asked with a playful smirk. Damn! His smile is infectious. Rachel found herself smiling back at him as if she was being bewitched by him. Rachel then let out a deep sigh, “Apparently, I wasn’t beautiful enough to a certain person.” She said with a sad expression. He lifts her chin with his fingers, making her looked straight into his eyes. “That’s bullshit! Who dares to say that to you?” He replied.

Rachel hesitated for a second. What is she doing talking to a stranger in an ice cream shop? It might not be a good idea to talk much about her private life with this man. But, strangely, she felt like she could believe him. “He was my classmate, Adam…” Rachel admitted, lowering her face back into her ice cream.

To his surprise, he got a jackpot this evening. Could it be the same Adam that he was looking for? “There’s a lot of Adam here…Do you mind telling me his full name? I might help you. I have a friend named Adam here.” He asked interestingly at her.

Rachel looked back at him. “Adam Cohen…Do you know him?” she asked. His lips curved a cunning smile at her. Hello brother! It turns out this world is not as big as he thought. This is only his second day on earth, and right now, he could spot him right away. “I sure did…Where is this Adam, by the way? And what do you want me to help you with?” He asked furtherly as he leans back on his chair.

“He was in the same college with me…I just had a big crush on him…But someone tries to take him away from me. Are you being serious about helping me? I don’t even know your name yet. I’m Rachel, by the way.” Rachel said, stretching her arms onto him. She already blurted out a lot of information to him. There is no turning back from this. He took her hand and planted a kiss on the back of her palms, she couldn’t help but blush. “You can call me Levi…And I will help you to get him under your palms.” He promised her with a dangerous look.

“And how exactly are you going to do that? If I may ask?” Rachel raised one of her eyebrows at him. He might’ve just spoken nonsense to get her attention or talk to her. “He’s my long lost brother. But we had a rather…complicated relationship…with each other, we’re never getting along that well.” He said as he put his fingers on his chin. “You mean like blood-brothers?” Rachel asked to clarify.

“Yeah…technically, we’re born in the same hell.” He said uncaringly. Rachel burst out laughing, this man had a weird sense of humor. Their parents must be torturing them since they were born to address their own home like hell. She thinks. Little did she know that he was referring to the real hell when all the sinners’ souls got tortured for eternity.
