Chapter 2 My stalker

Layla's Pov.

"OMG I'm dead! What's this." I thought to myself inwardly. Am I dreaming? I immediately sat up and the unknown creature adjust it's position.

"What are you? What do you want? Why sneak into my room in the middle of the night?" I asked trying not to sound scared.

"Little one don't be scared I won't harm you"

To my great surprise it was human and it could talk! A man whose voice was as calm as a river.

"You belong to me so why would I hurt you?"

" What????" I screamed in my head. Is this man even serious? He crept into my room and still has the audacity to spew rubbish from his mouth.

" You must be crazy! I belong to no one. What did you do to me? I can't see anything but your eyes. Is your face so heinous that you had to tamper with my eyes?" To my surprise he chuckled and I noticed my eyes were able to see in the dark again and the light bulbs turned on by themselves. I was stunned to see the figure on my bed. He looks like he had just walked through the most beautiful painting ever. His beauty is out of this world. Everything about him seems unreal. His eyes which were red had now turned into a golden colour but still had a little touch of red to it. Fair skinned with black hair that touched his shoulders, thin pink lips, a refined jaw line, his nose was a pointy a little bit.

Enough of his handsome face. M eyes travelled down to his chest area he wore a black T-shirt that has three buttons opened with a pair of black pants. I could see part if his firm chest. He also had muscular arms. OMG he must be working out to stay fit!!

"Ahem...are you done scanning me?" The strange man said jolting me back to the present.

"You don't seem disgusted by my heinous face."

"Um...well... I wasn't scanning you." I said my face turning red a little. Gosh how I hate being in such a situation. I quickly calmed myself down before asking again.

" Who are you and what are you doing here?"

" Oh yes... You are my wife so I came to see you."

" Oh really? I don't remember getting married off to anyone." I was already getting impatient and this man despite being handsome seems to be a lunatic.

"You will understand when the time comes. I have been looking for for a really long time little one." He said patting my head. But before I could respond he stood up and quickly vanished before my eyes.

"What the f*ck? How is that even possible? Am I dreaming?" I said as I forcefully pinched my both cheeks.

" Ouch that hurts. So he isn't even human. Am I in some kind of trouble?" I said loudly to myself. But I wouldn't deny the fact that I felt some kind of connection to him. This is ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!

I tired to sleep back but I kept on seeing those red eyes but I was able to get two hours of sleep. As I work up I stood in front of my mirror only to see my hair looking like a bird's nest and visible dark circles on my eyes due to my lack of sleep.

I rushed into the bathroom totally forgetting to take off my bracelet. I had already finished bathing when I realized it.

I quickly dressed up for lectures. After I left my step family in Prime city and moved to Zorah city I have had peace of mind until yesterday night. I walked into the lecture hall to see that I was ten minutes late. I quietly sneaked in and slipped into a chair. Thankfully the lecturer didn't take notice of my arrival.

The girl sitting next to me smiled. "Hi, I'm Betty."

"Layla... I'm Layla." I said returning the smile.

No one said anything until the class was over.

After morning lectures the next one was scheduled for evening so I got up heading straight to my hostel to complete my beauty sleep when I heard someone call me.

"Layla wait up. You stay in the school hostel don't you?"

"Yeah I do. Divine hotel. Which hostel are you in?"

"I stay in Diamond hostel! And it's directly opposite yours. We can be going to lectures together!" Betty said excitedly.

"What do you want? Leave now! Right now." I said.

"Huh... Are you referring to me?" Betty asked sadness clear in her voice. I got confused to I wasn't talking to her but to the weird guy from yesterday.

"Oh no dear. I wasn't referring to you." I defended.

"Then who were you speaking to?"

I raised my hand to point towards him.

"Who? I can't see any one." Only then did I realized that I was the only one who could see him making me look weird once again. I clenched my fists in anger but suppressed it and smiled at her.

"It was only a stubborn fly that keeps perching on me." I said laughing trying to cover up for my sudden outburst.

"Little one are you calling your husband a fly?" He asked me in a mocking tone but I chose to keep quiet so Betty won't find me weird .

"Okay if that's the case then. Shall we go for the evening lectures together?"

"Sure! See you in the evening." I said as I headed for my hostel's entrance with the stubborn "fly" trailed behind me.

I arrived at my room door and turned towards him.

"What is it? Why do you keep bothering me??" I asked getting annoyed of the situation.

"Won't you invite me on for a cup of tea?Besides I walked you home." He said in a lazy tone.

" I never asked you to do so!"

" Well I did and you have to return the favor by inviting me in for a cup of tea?" He argued back.

" Hmph". I cursed inwardly as I turned the lock open. I gestured for him to walk in and shut the door behind me.

I walked to my kitchen to make his tea. As I got out to serve it, I saw him lounging on my bed with a smug look on his face.

"Here's your tea. Drink it and leave." I said turning to my wardrobe, I took out a faded jean shorts, a jersey and my towel heading straight to the bathroom. I showered and dressed up in there hoping that once I came out he would be gone.

I came out to see he lying on my bed with his eyes closed. Taking a closer look I couldnt help but stare at his handsome face and unique physique. Tall and handsome he should be in his late twenties

I snapped back to reality. He had finished his tea so why was he still here? It's really annoying, I shouldn't have let him in. How do I send him out now?

"Hey? Get up right now." I said hitting the headboard of my bed.

"Logan. Call me Logan but if you can't you can always call me 'husband' "He said his eyes still closed.

"Leave. Leave at once! Why are you still here?" I asked. I was really uncomfortable as I had never been in alone in a room with a guy or worse a man.

" What if I told you I know where your parents are? Your birth parents."
