Chapter 8

"What are you doing?" I'm in shock from the sudden shove.

"I'm sorry, just wait here" he says quickly then turns and walks back over to the sidewalk.

I start inching closer to the sidewalk a little afraid of why I'm standing in the alley. It's a safe town but his tone was urgent like there was danger. I hear him talking to someone in a hushed voice.

"Yes, she's just another girl, I haven't seen the daughter of Aphrodite yet." He says firmly.

"You know what your father said about playing games in such a small town, it's useless. You should have found her already. That's why he sent me." The other voice says sounding irritated.

"I will. You don't need to be here" he says sternly but I can hear a bit of worry in his voice.

"I don't want to be here either, if your father asks, I was here."

I go back a few steps as I hear the sound of footsteps fading away. Then Kaiden pears around the corner and walks into the alley.

"Sorry, I saw someone who shouldn't be here" he says in a flat tone.

"Who? Not many people come here." I ask in attempt to get more information. Like who's the daughter of Aphrodite?

"Just someone my father sent to look for me." He says irritated, obviously wanting to end the conversation.

We continue walking in silence until we reach my apartment.

"Well, here I am." I say ready to get inside. At the same time I can't help but stare into Kaiden's eyes and I feel allured. I look down to his perfectly shaped mouth wanting to touch him and kiss him suddenly.

Kaiden coughs awkwardly as if he knew what I was thinking. I turn quickly to open the door feeling heat in my face. It now feels like it's 100 degrees out.

"Wait" Kaiden says grabbing the door before it shuts. "Could I see you tomorrow?" He asks with a sexy smile I've yet to see.

"Um, sure." Surprised over the sudden interest to see me again.

"Great. I'll be here around 12, and we can go grab some lunch."

"Okay. See you then." I say and close the door before I embarrass myself again.
