Tears filled my eyes as I kept running through the hallway. I wanted to hide from everyone for a bit. A silent sob left my mouth, Reaching the end of the hallway and standing in front of a huge wooden door. I Looked up and down before deciding to go in.
I swung the door open before getting in, once I was inside I closed the door behind me before turning around. Blinking the tears away I took in my surroundings to see the huge room I was in. Everything, every inch of the room was painted either black or grey. Even the furniture was black too. It all looked weird but at the same time beautiful. The room was filled with the same scent I smelled on the Mayor earlier. taking a deep breath I tried to fill my lungs with the delicious scent.
My thoughts were interrupted when I looked at the sky out of the french window. Dark clouds were rolling in with the strong wind. I wasn't aware when I started walking towards the window before I slid the glass aside to open the barrier between me and the wind. I love this kind of weather.
I let the wind caress my skin and play with my hair, closing my eyes as I stood there wrapping my arms around my body. It felt so good like everytime is falling into places.
I let out a soft sigh followed by a sob. Max never liked this kind of weather so he always used to refuse me whenever I asked him at my place to have a date on my balcony. I was so indulged in my naive thoughts I had for max that I didn't notice when someone came into the room and walked right behind me.
“ What are you doing here?” the familiar voice asked in a deep husky tone, startling me. I was about to turn around to face him when I was stopped by him as one of his hands snakes around my waist and rested on my tummy. My back was pressing on his chest dangerously but it felt so good like I belong in his arms. I don't know if i should feel this way or not when i just ended a relationship but my heart felt happy and content.
“ I….. I am sorry….. I didn't mean to…… I trailed off as I couldn't find the right words to explain to him why I am here.
“ Sshh,”
“ It's okay,” he coed me like I was a child.
“ You are always welcome in my room,” he said in his deep voice.
“ What? Your room?” I asked in terror as I managed to turn around to face him. Of course it's his room, the scent. I looked up to see he was already looking down at me with amusement in his eyes.
“ I am really sorry, mr, Mayor. I didn't mean to,” I said, struggling to get out of his strong hold.
“ Sshh,” he said, coming closer to my face as my heart picked up its pace. Oh gosh, I am done for. Looking into his amber eyes I gulped.
“ I am granting you permission to come into my room anytime you want,” he said in a hushed velvety voice.
“ Thank you. I….. I have to go now,” I said, placing both of my hands on his chest without breaking eye contact. I could feel his hard muscles under my palms.
He pulled his hand from my back and let me tear myself away from his chest. I won't lie, I was immediately disappointed at the loss of his touch.
“ where?” he asked, his voice changed slightly.
“ Huh?”
“ Where do you have to go?” He asked looking at me, his expressions were hard and difficult to read but it looked like he was mad at something or someone.
“ I don't know, I want to go home,” I replied, noticing how he clenched his jaws. For a moment he didn't say anything and just kept staring at me.
“ This place is beautiful,” I said, to ease whatever tension was going on.
“ Then stay.”
His words took me by surprise. He wanted me to stay? But why?
“ i….. don't… my words died down in my throat as I gasped when my gaze fell on his right hand. It was bleeding and there was a piece of broken glass inside his palm.
“ Oh god,” I panicked looking at his bloodied hand. How could he not know that he is bleeding?
“ Your hand,” I said, taking his hand into my hands to examine it.
“ When did it happen? Do you have any first aid kit here?” I asked, looking up at him, and waiting for his reply but he looked lost in his own world as he kept staring at me with his beautiful eyes.
“ No,” after a moment he said, breaking eye contact.
“ Where is the bathroom,” I asked, looking around to see if he has one in here. At least I could pull the glass out under running water and maybe I could find anything to apply on his wound too in there.
Without saying anything he dragged me to the bathroom grabbing my wrist firmly. He pushed the door open for me and stepped aside for me to enter and after I did he followed me in.
“ Wait here,” I said, making him stand in front of the sink as I began searching for a first aid kit. It is weird not to have one in here when you live in the middle of the forest. Soon I found a box with ointment tubes and a small bottle of liquids to clean the wound as well as a few bandages.
“ This will do,” saying that I closed the door of the cabinet and stood in front of him. All this while he has been waiting for me while watching my every move with his intense gaze.
“ Give me your hand,” I said looking at him. And when he extended his hand I looked down only to see he gave me the wrong hand. I looked up again, narrowing my eyes at him.
“ The other one,” I said, " I would have scolded him if I knew him better.
I hissed, pulling the glass out of his hand but he didn't even flinch. Tears blurred my vision once again when the blood gushed out of his wound. I quickly placed his hand under the running water and took out the liquid from the box. After I emptied the contents, I applied the ointment and wrapped up his wound.
“ It's done, remember to visit a doctor after you are finished with the party,” I said, looking at his hand.
“ I don't need to,” he replied, his voice heavy with emotion.
“ What?” I looked up and met with his eyes. His face was so close to my face that I could feel his hot breath fanning my face.
“ Mr….
“ Call me Gideon,” he said, cutting off my words.
“ Gideon,” I said, as soon as the words rolled out of my tongue he took a deep breath closing his eyes. Goosebumps erupted on my skin when he closed the distance between us. Instinctively, both of my hands flew up on his chest.
“ Good,” he said in a whisper.
“ Since it's done I should probably go,” I said, trying to push him away but he didn't budge.
“ I should thank you for taking care of my wounds,” he said, in his husky voice.
“ It's alright,” before I could finish my words he placed a soft kiss on my cheek.
My eyes went wide and for a moment I didn't know what I should do but once I regained my senses, my eyes slowly looked up at him in shock.
Tears pooled in my eyes threatening to spill at any moment. Gathering all my might I pushed him away before running out of the room.
How could he do this? I wouldn't have any problem if he didn't have a partner already. What would she feels if she knew her boyfriend had kissed another girl? I shook my head in no, running towards the stairs.
“ Hey,” Emma greeted me at the end of the stairs. I stared at her face, finding words to explain what had happened up there as a soft sob escaped my lips.
“ What happened?” Justin asked, standing beside Emma.
“ Please take me back to my apartment,” I said, tears once again pooling in my eyes.
“ Sure,” saying that he turned on his heels and walked away towards the front door. Emma helped me out of the Mansion and into Justin's car. Once I was in, she followed me in there.
He started the engine once we were in. I don't know what I was feeling but I kept my eyes on the Mansion until it wasn't in the view. It was kind of him to give me a ride without asking anything so I decided to tell them what happened once we arrive at my apartment.
I didn't know how long I kept staring out of the window but once we were at the road that leads to my apartment I opened my mouth and told them what happened back there.
“ What?” The car stopped abruptly as Justin looked at me in confusion.
“ You kissed the Alpha?” Emma said, with both of her hands on her mouth.
“ and then ran away?” She added. I nodded my head at her.
“ I am feeling miserable, right now,” I said, shaking my head.
“ I don't want to be the reason someone calls me a home wrecker,” I said, wiping away the tears that rolled down my cheek.
“ what are you even talking about?” Justin asked, narrowing his eyes as he was looking at me dumbfounded.
“ He kissed me when he already has a girlfriend,” I said, I don't understand why it's hurting me so much thinking about the fact that he already has a partner when I just met him and he is a complete stranger to me.
“ Are you nuts?” He asked and then stiffened, his eyes were glazed.
“ Justin?” I asked trying to find out what is wrong with him.
“ Fu*k,” he cursed slamming his hand on the steering wheel.
“ take her to her apartment, we have to leave right now,” he said to Emma.
“ I can go back myself,” I said looking at him and then at Emma.
“ Go upstairs and rest don't open the door. We will not coming back until….. I don't know,” he said.
“ Now go,” justin said as his body was shaking.
Without another word I got out of the car and went straight to the 4th floor and towards my room. I have never seen him like this, whatever it is it's not good.
Reaching the door, I tried to find the keys and when I found them in clutch I open the lock before I entered into my apartment. I locked the door behind me before I went to the window to see if they had left already but they didn't after Emma saw me in the window she got into the car before Justin drove away with a lightning speed.
