Chapter 28

The class ended quicker than I thought it would.Probably because I was late anyway.I pick up my things and head for the door, somehow lost in thought of my next move.So lost that I couldn't see the human brick wall right in front of me till I almost crashed into it.

"Damn it" I mutter sniffing in a pretty sweet smelling cologne

I shoot my gaze up and make Raphael's waiting gaze

"Where are you going?" Asks Raphael with cocky grin cemented on his face as his eyes glowed in mischief making my insides flip.But I dared not show weakness.

I wonder what would happen if I kicked him in the shin?

"Home, like everyone else"I deadpan in a monotone voice

"No you're not, you're coming with me to lunch,I'll give you some time to go home and get ready though…seeing the way you dressed is like someone just died"he says "at my house by the way"he continues sending shock waves to my spine

Your house, what do you mean your house?

What's happening there?

I scoff eyeing him up then down

"Listen here,I really don't have the time for your antics I really need to get some work done"I say trying to move through but he blocks my path again

"About the stalkers"he whispers making my blood freeze

"You know we made a deal the other day y'know"he suddenly says out loud causing some people to look our way, including Selena who looks at us with jealousy in her eyes

"What the fuck are you doing?"I ask in-between teeth as my blood began to boil slowly as I stared daggers at him slightly embarrassed with all the wrong attention we're getting

Was he really trying to sell me out, here,right now?

He leans over,his tall frame trying to measure to my smaller frame as he reaches my ears,his cool breath tickling them

"You know we did make a deal"he starts"if you're going to be my mistress, you have to measure up to the part don't you think sweety?"he says his nose some how tickling my neck

My fists curls and clenches at his words

It seems like I had made a mistake asking him for help after all

Trusting him wasn't my smartest move

But I had no other choice

I can't believe I made a deal with the devil

I feel my shoulders deflate in defeat,I guess this is my life now…for now

"Fine"I agree reluctantly loath every letter of the word.Im going to get back at you for sure

Bastard!!

A smile appears on his face obviously happy at his victorious win in his mission to frustrate me.But his smile seemed different from the cocky grin of before, almost like he was genuinely happy.

I wish I could slap it off his face.I clench my fists to stop myself.

He reaches into his pocket and brings out his phone then stretches it towards me,his contact app clearly opened before hand

"I'm going to be needing your number,it's long overdue anyway"he says still smiling as he tilts his head to the side a little

I snatch it from him and dial my number and give it back to him resisting the urge to throw it at him

"That's a good girl"he says in a cool tone

"Fuck you"I mutter before pushing passed him making my way down the hall.

Almost immediately I receive a notification,I take out my phone from my purse and check who it's from but it's from an unknown number different from the one I'm supposed to be tracking.Curiously I tap it and roll my eyes at the message.It was from Raphael

"I'll pick you up at 7,text me your address.Oh and wear something pretty.Raphael"

I scoff and put the phone right into my coat pocket and continue walking over to my car with questions suddenly running through my mind

How do I track the owner of this number?

What if it's not them and I'm just being paranoid?

But what if it is?

Suddenly something drags me from behind by my coat making me stumble backwards a bit.An arm spins me round and my face meets Selena.

Why is it always you?

"What was going on back there between you and my man huh"she asks looking straight into my eyes staring daggers into them

I slap her arm off obviously not in the mood

"Listen here,trust me when I say I really don't want anything to do with the two of you,but have it in mind that this isn't exactly highschool anymore,I'm pretty sure there more attractive men around so you don't have to worry"I say keeping a cool demeanor

"Really,then how come you somehow always bump into him then, explain that?"she asks

My eyes catch Raphael from the distance walking towards us casually behind her

"How about you go ask him yourself"I say nodding my head in his direction.

She turns and I take it as my cue to leave.

I walk as fast as I can to my car evading the premises that reeked of drama leaving those two crazies to banter to their satisfaction.

As I drive I check the road not wanting an unpleasant surprise.Suddenly,a car from behind me starts to honk at me.My blood runs cold for awhile thinking the worse.

Have they come for me?

I check my rearview mirror to see who that is but before I know it the car drives over to my side,I shift my gaze to the car while trying to focus on the road.

The car winds down it's window revealing Raphael with a weird smile on his face instantly sending my anger to a frenzy.

Is this guy nuts?

"Text me"he yells out before driving further off right before I can flip the bird at him and all I can do is watch his car speed off past me

How did I end up like this?

I turn on the radio and tune into a station to played some wierd rick music but i don't mind.I just need some sort of sound to fill the car while i drive.At this point any distraction will do.
