When I got home I was told my parents wouldn't be around for the next three weeks because they had some matters to deal with in Spain. I was a little bit sad but happy at the same time because I finally had the entire house to myself and everyone and everything would listen to my command.
I ordered everyone to go sleep early but they were reluctant to do so and after a series of persuasion they finally agreed to heed my command. The whole house was finally silent and just when I was about to go into my room to take a bathe Gabriel, Uriel and Marcus called out to me. I was scared to my bone thinking they would do something wrong to me but I quickly rejected such idea and went down to the living room to speak with them.
I sat down sinking myself into my soft couch. "Hey what's up guys I'm sleepy so you better speak up real fast. I ordered faking a light yawn.
Marcus nods at his comrades before grabbing my injured arm. "What the hell is this miss and why are you hiding such information from us? Who did this to you?
I swallowed heavily as my heart thumped dangerously in my chest like it would leap into my throat. "They noticed but how? I muttered bowing my head before snatching my hand back. "That's nothing Marcus it was just a minor scratch I had while running. My shoe laces had come undone and so I tripped on it.
"That's not true and don't think about covering up for such an individual because I tied your shoe laces remember. Gabriel said pointing at the shoes on my feet. "I'm the only person who can untie it.
I could only nod mentally as he spoke because truth be told had it not been for Drake's timely intervention Phineas would have had his ways with me but before that would happen heads might be rolling because Marcus would make sure to do so and it was no bluff.
I gulped on my saliva nervously covering my face in shame. "Please don't tell mum and dad or they're going to stop me from going to school. I pleaded almost kneeling down but they all stopped me from doing it.
Uriel stares at his colleagues for a while before staring back at me in a cold but calculating manners. "We would let this slide but this is the last straw. He warned sternly in a cold but caring voice as I nod profusely like a lizard. "You should stop ditching us Miss. Your parents hired us to take care of you because they love you so let us do our job.
I rolled my eyes in frustration before standing up from the couch. "Look I'm not stopping you but please stay away from me as far as possible I don't want anyone to suspect or know my identity. I remarked defiantly before walking back to my room.
The room was neatly arranged and I knew the maids had done it even though I had clearly instructed them not to but that was all about to change for the three weeks my parents were not going to be around because I would run this house like I want to. I changed into a white creme bathing robe and quickly got into the bathroom to take a hot bathe.
I had finished bathing and quickly changed into my pyjamas. It was finally time for me to sleep after a long day at the university after a long while of thinking I drifted off to sleep closing my eyes I fell into a deep and peaceful slumber.
THE NEXT DAY (4:40 AM)
My eyes flickered open at the sound of my alarm and like always I went into the bathroom to pee but upon coming back into the room there's was a dark silhouette on my bed. I thought it was my imagination and decided to ignore it but when I laid back down on my bed a strong arm arm around me pulling me firm into his body.
The strong masculine scent of his cologne wafted into my nostrils waking me from my slumber. Fear seeped it's way into my skin and my breathing became frantic causing my throat to dry up and my palm became sweaty. I knew the only person with such scent was none other than Drake but the question that kept playing in my mind was the reason why he was in my room was it to murder me, rape me or even worse.
He buried his nose into my neck sniffing it like his life depends on it and the sensation sent shivers down my spine. "You smell heavenly pumpkin. I'm not here to hurt you and I won't do anything thing to you so don't scream. He assured caressing my cheek with his arm tightly clasped around my waist. "I know you're scared but you shouldn't be I won't hurt you but don't send me away please.
My breathing became stable and my trembling body went still asleep he assured me still caressing my hair and reluctantly I nodded. "It's okay I won't but Drake is that you? How did you get in? I asked in whispers trying to turn but he wouldn't let me and I could only stare at the dark ceiling in awe wondering if all this vulnerable side was all fake or if he had some tricks up his sleeves.
"Shhhhh! Pumpkin you ask too many questions just go to sleep. He replied holding us both in a fetal position. "Don't worry I'll leave before anyone knows it but keep this between the both of us.
I nod in agreement feeling quite content and satisfied with his presence behind me and with that the curtains of silence enclosed the room. Drake was a guy who commands a lot of attention but here he is lying on my bed with his arm wrapped around me like there was no tomorrow. I wondered about the kind of relationship we had in the past for this weird and coincidental behaviour as I couldn't remember anything transpiring between us but I knew deep down that I loved the feeling of having him around and there was more to this connection than meets the eyes.
If no one was ready to tell me anything about my past self then I would find out about it myself and get to the bottom of everything.
