Chapter twelve: Damsel in distress

💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘

We were stuck in that very awkward situation with my eyes, traveling from his eyes to his lips...I couldn't even decipher his expression....

Was he angry? Or shocked or as embarrassed as i was.

I subconsciously bit my lip in sheer embarrassment and shut my eyes tight.

A knock was heard on the door and i was brought back to my senses, then immediately released the demon king who appeared appalled, from my grip.

"Ma'am, you're late for dinner". Rosita called from outside. "Madam Sophie and Annie are waiting for you".

"Oh...okay, i'll be downstairs..soon enough". I said and sighed in relief as i turned to look at the demon king.

I saw a smirk, curved at the corner of his mouth....

"If you wanted me in bed, you could've just asked". He said, huskily.

"Seriously? You think i tried to sleep with you? Ugh!". I rolled my eyes.

"I didn't say that, but if you think that way too, I'm flattered". He said again...

"You wish!" I spat out... "It was an accident, it wasn't intentional". I defended, folding my arms.

"Didn't seem like it". He replied and smirked again..."who's the 'pervert' now?".

"Hey! I'm not a pervert!" I snapped at him quickly, biting my lower lip in anger.

"Well, i'm not the one who threw myself at a guy and lured him to bed". He said.

"I wasn't trying to lure you to bed, I..was just....fine! I'm astraphobic and i don't know how i was forced to hug you but i...think i needed to be cuddled to soothe the fear in me, anything that happened afterwards...I..I..have no idea". I said and looked away from him, embarrassed.

He scoffed..."yeah, yeah..whatever, even your excuse is lame".

"You unbearable jerk!" I gasped out, staring at him in distaste.

"Luckily, innocent Rosita didn't have to barge in and watch live porn". He said, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking out... "Nice try pinky, you're so bad at being a seductress".

"I hate you..." I muttered, boiling in anger.

😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾

Next morning....

I stirred on the bed, moaning with displeasure as the whines i made was muffled by my pillow.

How is it morning already?!

The golden rays of the sunlight that shone on the window, reflected throughout the room. It was the sunlight on my face that disturbed my sleep.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and got down from the bed...

What day is it by the way?

My eyes flicked open suddenly when it hit me....TUESDAY!!

Ouuu! I thought it's Saturday...

I quickly glanced at my alarm clock..

Why didn't it wake me up?!

No...no...no...

I dashed into the bathroom and began to do my stuff quickly.

Few minutes later, i laid my bed neatly and went through my clothes, contemplating on what to wear.

Soon enough, i picked a white long sleeve turtle neck shirt and a flare navy blue skirt with gathers.

Only when i had put it on that i discovered the skirt was super short..

No time to change....

In a swift, i grabbed my cross bag and packed my hair in a bun, then rushed out of the room...

"Morning Mrs Sophie". I greeted, at the sitting room as i planted a peck on her cheek.

"Morning darling...your breakfast is turning cold". She said, smiling at me.

"I'll pass". I said hurriedly, then went out.

Apparently, the driver is sick and won't be able to take me to school today and i have to walk down to school.

Ugh! Such a bad day already!

I sighed and began my 'already tiring' journey, thanking my stars i had put on boots.

After few minutes of walking, with me cursing my alarm clock for failing me, a bike zoomed past me, blowing my skirt up which i quickly adjusted between struggles...

Great!

The bike stopped just few steps ahead of me and the rider, removed his helmet...

"Looks like someone forgot to set her alarm, last night". The demon king said, turning to look at me...

Ughhhhh!

True though, i forgot to set my alarm, i mentally slapped myself. And it was because of HIM!

I glowered at him....

"Can't u ride a little slower? You almost blew my skirt right off me!"

"Don't blame my riding, i didn't ask you to wear that". He said, pointing at my skirt, then smirked. "Ride with me".

"No thanks, i'm good". I blurted, then mentally slapped myself for the second time....what was i saying??

"Fine! Suit yourself, school starts in seven - no five minutes". He said, glancing at his wrist watch.

"Detention awaits you". He put on his helmet and revved up the engine...

"Wait!" I bit my lip... I didn't want to be late anyway..

I sprinted towards him...

"Fine, i'll go with you, just because i don't want to end up in detention".

"Whatever helps you sleep at night". He muttered.

I lifted my right leg and gently slid up onto the passenger seat.

"You might want to hold on to me". He said, revving the bike.

"Just don't go too.. faaaaaaaaaasssssssstttt...." My voice trailed off as he zoomed off in a flash.

I slid my arms around his waist as my body pressed against his back. My eyes were shut tight. I could feel my hair moving in rhythm with the wind.

He could've just given me the extra helmet, but being the jerk demon he is, he didn't.

But that didn't matter right now, what mattered was how close i was with him on the bike, I mean my body was pressed against his and i gulped down as I felt a volcanic eruption in my stomach. There was a tingling feeling on my skin where it met with his.....

🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍

We managed to arrive at school within five minutes and I was relieved.

"I know you were trying to kill me..I told you not to go fast!" I snapped at the demon king as i got down from the bike.

"You're welcome". He said bluntly.

The students who were around us, gasped as they sighted the both of us. They all focused on us...mostly girls.

I scoffed, "why the stares". I asked rhetorically. "Oh i forgot, their almighty number one is here".

"They're staring at you dummy". He spat out..."at your grade 4 skirt". He teased.

"Don't call me a dummy and duh! This isn't new, i mean compared to Courtney's, this skirt is way long". I hissed.

I saw his expression change as i mentioned Courtney....then i regretted my actions..

"Bella!" A super excited voice called and i turned to see Mia waving at me, with a bunny smile.

I walked up to her and she hugged me....

"Oh my God! Aiden gave you a ride to school?" She gasped.

"Ugh! Here we go again", i rolled my eyes.

"He never let any other girl ride with him, except Courtney and that was for when they were still together, but when they broke up and he became all grumpy, no girl ever rode with him". She said excitedly....

Why the excitement?

"So...like am i supposed to feel special?", i asked with a raised eyebrow...

"Duh...yeah! He likes you".

"Yeah...right". I laughed... "Did you like, hit your head on a pole while coming to school?"

"No...I hit my leg instead and it hurts bad". She pouted as she pointed at her left leg...

Truth be told, she was injured and i shook my head... This girl!

We walked to class together with more eyes on us...and the girls whispering to each other...even the boys whistled as i passed...

"They must be stunned by how gorgeous you look". Mia giggled, whispering to me.

"Ha! I didn't even have time to do my hair not to talk of glancing at the mirror". I snorted.

Arriving at the class, the history teacher was not in...and i was so glad..

I felt a hand creep up my thigh from behind....what the...

I turned and met the smugly expression of a guy...he was a well known notorious bully in our class.

"How dare you?!" I raised up my hand to slap him, but he held it...

"Not so fast sweetheart!" He smirked at me...

"Let go of my hand you bastard!" I growled at him...

"Let her go Dennis". Mia added..

He didn't budge as he inched closer to me and whispered in my ears...

"How much for a night?"

My eyes were wide with horror...

What the actual hell?!

"You freaking bastard!! What do you take me for?!" I screamed at him.

"So its free then", he said and slid his hand, round my waist, pulling me closer to him... "How about....."

"Do you want to die?" A pissed off voice interrupted him...and we both looked behind him....

The demon king with all three of his friends had arrived...

"Aiden? Uh...no". Dennis replied as i noticed a flash of fear in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" The demon king asked...

In a swift, Dennis released me...

"Touch her again and you'll be a walking corpse". I don't know if it was anger...but his voice was tensed.

"Sorry about that Aiden". Dennis said and scrambled out of the class..

Shoot me! So i can't speak for myself again? I mean I was totally reeking of anger and it didn't move Dennis at all but then the demon king came and just like that, he's gone!

The class became dead quiet as the so called A4 walked to their seats in sync.

Show off!

I rolled my eyes...
