"I Still haven't figured out how to sit across from you, and not to be madly in love with everything you do."

Looking at her, she is so peaceful while sleeping. Where am full of chaos. Probably that day she overheard when I was asking jade to get the guy to me. She might be afraid of me that am the evil type, though there's no doubt. I tried to stay away from her but it's so difficult. And eventually leads me to get addicted to tobacco.
Damn girl!!
I'm losing control of myself. What she's doing to me?

She slightly blinking her eyes, probably waking up. I don't want to look somewhere else other than her. And she stared at me with those pretty amber eyes and blink them so many times like a child.

"We have arrived, Miss Reed".
It's only me who knows how badly I want to call her by her first name. But I need to make a distance from her. Otherwise, I don't know what the fuck am going to do.

When I open my eyes I saw Mr.Devil already looking at me with those mesmerizing eyes. I felt the heat radiating from my cheeks but he is not even blinking or looking somewhere else. What's with him?

"Yes sir".I adjust my clothes and hair to distract myself.

When we came out from jet. It's fucking sunny day and my eyes already started burning with heat. I block the sunlight with my hand and wrap my face with a scarf. Red Maserati waiting for us. I quickly rushed towards the car but I remember my position. I want Mr.Devil to enter first.
Still, there is an awkward tension between us. I ignored it and enjoy Greece's beauty.

Entering to Hotel "King's". One attendant in her blue color skirt and white shirt came towards us revealing her white teeth. She is acting weird, playing with her blonde hair, blushing hard. She leads us to our rooms, mine is 203 where Mr. Devil's room is next to me i.e 204. We head towards our rooms. It has old-school charm and my rooms feature high, crown-molded ceilings. The room comes equipped with free Wi-Fi and all the usual amenities required for a comfortable stay.
A grin played on my lips. I couldn't control my excitement.

I rush to the curtains and slide them aside. A cozy room with a panoramic view allows you to unwind, and an indoor pool and sauna.

Woah!! I jump on the fluffy bed and throw my shoes in one corner. Thinking about, Is his room is the same as mine or it's more lavishing than mine?  Probably, he is the boss so that might be possible. Oh, Fuck! I forgot to call her.

I called her number and waiting for her to pick.
"Hey, baby girl". I heard her voice which is so relaxing and my heart melt. I have never left her alone after that incident. I'm just afraid that something might happen if I leave her alone.

"Hey, Mom. You know what, this room is amazing . we got the best hotel which gives a beach view. And it's breathtaking".I hide my pain behind that excitement.

"Oh wow, you should enjoy every bit of it, kid. And don't even worry about me. You know I bought this electric shock machine. So, Just enjoy Greece and bye. I have to go".
"And don't forget to behave".

I bite my tongue. " I'm not a kid. I'm a working woman now. okay, take care".

I place my head on my hands and look at the ceiling while thinking about what should I do next. It's almost evening. I need to get a shower and of course, am freaking hungry.
I pulled over the t-shirt and slide the jean into the room. It's fucking king-sized bathroom, with glass walls. Holy fuck!!. Slid the rest of the clothes, I jump into the shower rather than a bathtub, I'm hungry as hell, don't want to waste time. The bathtub can wait.

I wrapped myself in a bathrobe and lift the bag on the bed.

Hmm. What should I wear? I point my hand on my chin thinking. It's not a professional dinner. I pick out a strippy pink flower dress that covers my thighs and dry hair instantly. When I head towards the door, I heard a knock.
Maybe it's Mr.Devil.
I quickly open the door and I saw the same attendant with a guy who was holding the handle of trolly filled with various dishes.

"Mam, your order".She passed a smile again.

"Maybe you are mistaken. I didn't order it".I exclaimed.

"Sir ordered it . He asked us to deliver food to your room".

what the fuck?  I dressed up for the fucking dinner. Damn!  He should have asked me first. I smiled sheepishly and accepted the food. The guy entered the  room and I saw that my room is a total mess. I blocked him in the doorway and asked him to leave there.

I close the door behind me and look at my clothes. I try to take my clothes with my foot fingers. That's what I do all the time. It's quite hectic to bend over and pick clothes. I look for the dinner first. Noodles, baked potatoes, and beans. Is he fucking serious?.

I text him instantly,
"Sir, you don't need to order for me. I can do it myself".Throw the phone on the bed in frustration. I look at my clothes and slid the dress instantly and pulled out a big tee from the bag.

It's almost midnight and insomnia hits me hard again. I move the glass and the cold breeze hits me, make my body shiver. I turned and I saw Mr.Devil standing on his balcony drinking something, shirtless. It's dark and I couldn't see properly but I felt my cheeks radiating energy. His eyes met mine and I wave at him like an idiot. My subconscious slapped me twice for it. There's a little gap between both balconies, they are not combined yet a flower pot decorated to maintain the gap between both. I move towards the left end.

"Are you a vampire"?
He moved closer to his right towards me. He laughed.
I ignore him.

"Don't you sleep and if you are drinking coffee then it's not going to help you to get asleep".

"Who said I want to sleep". Flowerpot couldn't let me see him. I place my arms on the glass wall and bend a little, so I can get a good view of him.
It's really weird to have a conversation when one couldn't see expressions.

"Humans need to sleep for a healthy life. That's science" I retorted.

"uh-huh. Then what are you doing here at midnight, Human". I chuckle. Woah! he is throwing my question back.

"I'm suffering from insomnia and sleeping alone is what am most afraid of" I look at my hands and he didn't say anything for few seconds.

"So, you want me to come over". My eyes went wide. Did I say something inappropriate? He moves a little closer and I saw his body is inked a lot. I gulp down my saliva, looking for the answers.

"No, I never said that"I whined. Why he is extending this statement.Ugh!!

"You meant this. Don't you"? How the hell he is so good at words.

"No, maybe you are the one who wants it"I wink, maybe he didn't see that coming.

"So, may, I," He said seductively. WHAT THE FUCK!! I'm out of words now.

"No, you can't"
Heat radiating from my face. I turn and rush to the room and locked the glass door immediately.

Breathe Olivia, Breath.

I pulled the bedsheet and turn on the music rather than thinking about what I said. I should just distract my mind.

I couldn't let Olivia roam around the hotel until James and other bodyguards deal with the problem. They saw some Raven guys in the hotel. We are already in a war while they laid their foot in my office. I couldn't let them grab the opportunity for hurting Olivia twice or keeping this deal from us. James is going kill or just ask them nicely what the hell they are doing here. Former is the best way how he deals with things. James played a crucial role as he worked with national intelligence in past. Though he was betrayed by his colleagues when he found out they were dealing drugs and they end up getting him arrested in the drug case. Poor James.

I know she is going to curse me for keeping her in the room with the dinner but her safety matters first. I got her childish message. I don't think she disliked the food as it is one of the best hotels that serve delicious food.

When I saw her hanging on the balcony walls in a mere tee. I felt a spark in my body, maybe I was just in PJ, and my bare chest felt the cold. She moves closer and leans on the glass walls. I was a little afraid about the glass. Is it going to take care of her weight?. She is pressing her body on the glass wall. Hope this glass wall not going to break otherwise am going to sue this fucking hotel.

She told me she is afraid of being alone or sleeping alone in a room. Is she giving me hints that she wants me to be there?  So I said those words that I shouldn't.

"So, you want me to come over".Her eyes went wide when I said that. She tried to adjust for this tense behavior but she jumps to the conclusion that I want to sleep with her.

"Well, there's no doubt in that." I just want her to feel safe rather than screaming in her dreams. One of my servants told me that she was screaming in her dreams when I took her to my house after the breaking incident in my office ." Don't do it, dad". Maybe she got some bad memories that haunt her until now same as me.
