chapter 4

Scott grabs her wrist in a smooth motion pining her to the wall

Releasing her wrist scott flexes his fingers and looks at her with genuine shock

"I did bad under estimating you he leans close to her ears and she froze immediately his warm breath made contact with her skin

She tried moving away but Scott grasps her hips and presses her back against the wall

The heat of his body and touch is like gravity against hers pulling her even closer

His words, his hands on her, all melt like honey on her skin, she can bearly stand

The smooth honey of his touch turn electric, she feels her skin hums with unknown powers

With a jolt she pulls away from him,

her body still hot from his touch

He locked eyes with hers and their lips inches away.

She stares at his parted mouth....

Hot and promising,

Hazel close her eyes anticipating for a kiss,

Instead he picks her up by the waist and throws her over his shoulders

Scott carries her upstairs ignoring her kicking and furious protest

He gently drops her on the bed and ran out of the room locking the door behind him

I can't believe am running out of my own house he grumbles removing his phone from his pocket

The list of souls he was supposed to guide were gradually increasing

Since he wasn't able to meet them at the time of their death, they must be roming around the street as missing souls

And it will be very stressful for him getting all of them.

Emily take care of her he said throwing the keys at her and vanish into air

Hazel on the other hand has been sitting on the same spot Scott left her whining furiously

"I can't believing he is keeping me here against my will she cried throwing away the pillows

The door suddenly twisted and she pulled her hands into a fist.

Instead of Scott Emily slowly walked in with her face filled with concern

" my lady are you Alright?

She picked the scattered pillows and arranged them on the bed

Hazel looked at her pale face feeling guilty for being a burden

 " Am sorry for messing up the room she said and her eyes drop

My Lady you don't have to be sorry it my job to take care of the mess she said and they both burst into laughter

" She looks very beautiful while smiling Hazel complimented her and she bowed Slightly

"MASTER said I should look after you,

So don't hesitate to ask me anything.

 " so you mean I can ask anything

Hazel said with a mischievous smirk

EMILY smiled brightly

Yes my Lady

" can... i... g.o ou..t for a bit Hazel asked anticipating a positive reply

" am sorry my Lady you can't leave even if I want to

Hazel drop her gaze in disappointment.

" but they are lot of things you can do here

Hazel's eyes lit up in excitement.

Few hours later, They came back to the main lounge after having a tour of Scott's mansion

Emily has really been great company she was like the elder sister Hazel never had

 " how long have you been working for Scott

"500 years was her brief answer

WHAT!!!!!!!

Am just joking what I meant to say is 5 years

Emily immediately corrected herself

She wasn't suppose to disclose her identity to a human

5 years?

I guest you know alot about him then.

Emily nodded

Do you drink Emily asked heading to the mini bar at the end of the lounge

Hazel nodded exitedly when she spotted the bar.

They both settle down and Emily brought a bottle of whisky

And two glasses

Hazel pour some in her glass and drinks it in one go

"easy My Lady,

Emily said concern

"You can just call me Hazel,

And am very good at handling alcohol

This is coming from a girl who felt at sleep in the middle of no where because she was drunk

She smiled brightly when she remembered what happened to her last night 

Cheers she raise her glass almost spilling her drink

What are we celebrating Emily asked noticing her change behavior

"To us being friends

They both toast and drank it at one go.

"What is going on here....

His husky voice echoed around the mansion and Emily stood up immediately with her head bowed down

Hazel looked at how frightened she was and felt sorry for her

"Am sorry Master.....

" It my fault Hazel cut her off

She tried standing up but fail

" I asked her to drink with me,

No... not ask..

I .. com..man..ded her to drink.

SCOTT looks at his drunk bride with anger

SCOTT waves his hands asking Emily to leave

But Hazel stood up immediately

"Emily can't leave i want her to drink..

With m..e be...cause she is my friend

Hazel said holding her hand preventing her from leaving

HAZEL.....

thunder strikes illuminating the lounge and Hazel felt to her kneels in fear

Scott rush towards her

"Are you alright 

He carries her up

"Wha..t wh....at was that?

Hazel asked shaking profoundly

"It was nothing Scott said wrapping his arms around her

He carried her to the room and laid her down

Scott holds out his hands to her and his once- sharp eyes tinged with concern

Scott pulls her flush against him as he tries making her comfortable

As if feeling the weight of her fears he lift his gaze his eyes met hers and it as if the room has dissappear around them

A smile tip his lips, and he glance at her,

She is sure his smile can melt anything

She flash him her best smile hoping to make herself more comfortable so he could leave.
