to me.” But he said it so calmly I had a hard time believing him.
“Good for you, now why should I be scared of you?” He looked around, I guess to make sure no one was watching. I don't know why, there wasn't another house for miles; I was still confused on why he was here in the first place. Maybe I should be scared.
“I’ll tell but we need to go somewhere else, it isn’t safe out here.” He grabbed my arm and began to practically drag me towards my house.
“So you keep saying.” I really don’t like being dragged around, but his grip on my arm was so strong all I can do is try to keep up with him. Which isn’t working and I keep falling and tripping. Eventually he stops about three hundred yards from the house and just picks me up like I'm a baby. He isn’t even bothered by my weight and just starts walking faster than before. He stops out side our front door. He looks at me and I start wondering if somethings wrong with my face. But before I can say something he puts me down. Shame.
“ Wheres your bedroom window at?” He asked it like he was asking for the time.
“Excuse me!” Who the hell was he and why did he think I was gonna let him in my house.
“What? We need somewhere to talk.” He really didn't seem to understand why i was freaking out over his question.
“Can’t you just walk through the door. Not to mention that I don’t even know you.” When I said that his face darkened and I planned my escape route just in case he attacked me.
“No, now which one is yours”
I sighed, this wasn't going to get me anywhere “ Any window on the second story”
“OK, now go in tell your parents good night, walk up to your room, and turn the radio on. Got it?” He seemed so serious and he kept looking around like he was expecting the boogie man to pop out at any moment and grab him.
“What is this, a spy mission?”
“Go!” God, he was really starting to creep me out.
“OK, OK I’m going!” Maybe if I get up fast enough I can lock all the window so he cant get in. I rushed in the door and hear him shut it behind me. I heard my mom and dad talking in hushed tones in the living room. Real obvious guys.
“ I’m going to bed, night, love you.”
“ Night sweetie”
“Love you too”
As soon as I as out of the room I ran for the stairs. I was up the stairs in a heart beat and closing all the windows in the next. He probably couldn’t get in anyway. The were no trees around here left alone near my windows, so unless he managed to jump twenty feet and open my window before falling I’m good. I shouldn’t have even been worried in the first place.
I went and got some black cheer leading shorts and a white tank top from my closet and brought them back to my room to change for bed. I stood in front of the mirror staring a my reflection trying to figure out what he was looking at. All I saw was a shapely girl barely over 5’3 with strawberry blond hair that was straight as a sick. I saw an oval shaped face with dark grey eyes like a thunderstorm and some freckles. Nothing out of the ordinary,not really. Oh well, he was insane anyway.
I took off the jeans and tee shirt I had been wearing. I slipped into the shorts and then saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye. Before I could do anything I felt strong but soft hands grab my fore arms from behind not allowing me to turn around.
“Relax” Oh. Just the creeper. That didn’t help the fact all I had on was too short shorts and black lacy bra.
I felt his breath on my neck and it sent a tingle through me.Who was he? This time when i tried to turn around he let me. It as still a shock seeing how gorgeous he was. I could get lost in those eyes and I had the urge to tangle my fingers all in that midnight black hair.
“You good now?” He asked hesitantly.
“Uh sure I didn’t just get attacked or anything.” I turned around and grabbed my tank top from my bed and pulled it on over me. When i turned back around i saw that he was staring at me again.
“I’m sorry but I didn’t want you turning around and smacking me.” He said with a hint of that stupid smile playing on his lips.
“Smart choice. Now explain why i should be afraid of my shadow.” I as getting annoying.
“You get right to the point don’t you?” Now the smile was on his face from ear to ear.
“Yes. Explain.” I wanted and explanation, and I wanted it now.
