Chapter 11 Chapter 11
Bella.
I reluctantly open my eyes and sigh.
I wonder what I should do today. Enzo told me to rest and I think it's the perfect time to spend his money.
I will do my hair and nails, do some shopping here and there, and maybe eat out. Anything but stay indoors. I am so craving junk food already.
Perfect.
I opt for a short shower. After I am done, I rammage through my closet and wonder what to wear. I don't know, today I feel like wearing something sexy. Maybe cute.
Who knows, maybe I might bump into a really cute guy out there.
I choose black lingerie and put them on. Should I wear a skirt? I longingly stare at the black leather skirt and decide to go with it. This day will be perfect. I can feel it.
However, a gasp of horror escapes my lips when I look in the mirror and see the man watching me silently.
"The fuck, Hunter?" I turn around and hit his shoulder, "You scared the shit out of me" I yell in frustration. What is he doing in my room?
Hunter slightly smiles and shrugs.
"I have missed you, Bella" he says and I can't believe he sneaked in here just to tell me that.
"You do?" I ask and turn back to the mirror. I wear a white tank top and wonder what to do with my hair.
Nonetheless, my body instantly tense up when I feel him behind me. Hunter gently grabs my waist and I shiver when his cold rings touch the bare skin of my stomach.
"What are you doing?" I whisper when he moves my hair to one side and presses his lips on my shoulder. This is new and I didn't't expect him to do this.
"I am sorry about yesterday. I should have stopped him" he softly says and I turn around in frustration.
"It's okay. I don't blame you" I mutter and slowly push him away and he finally moves
Goddess, that was weird.
"Are you going out?" Hunter asks as his gentle eyes scrutinize my form. He looks somehow sad. Did he break up with his girlfriend, or mate?
"Yeah"
"I am coming with you" The man says and hurriedly walks out of my room.
Honestly, I don't want him to follow me. The way he just acted is still a shock to me. Unless I am overthinking like I did last time.
"Come to my room" Enzo says and instantly ends the call. Why does he want me in his room?
Urgh!
I follow the quiet hallway and hesitate when I reach the familiar door
Gently knocking on it, I wait for his response, but it doesn't come
I turn around to leave, but the door suddenly opens and he appears. Looks like I am not the only one who slept in.
"Come in," Enzo says, moving aside, and I cautiously enter the dark room.
"Where is your ring?" The man asks, staring at my fingers, and I deeply furrow my brows. Awkward question.
"In my room." Why is he asking? I took it off yesterday.
"Why?"
"Why am I here?" I change the topic because I know he didn't call me here to ask about a meaningless ring. He doesn't want a wife anyway.
Enzo moves close to me, and I consciously take a step back. The man doesn't stop until my back is pressed against the door.
Enzo cages me between his arms, and I can't help but stare into his eyes. It's as if a storm is brewing in there. I have noticed he smells so good.
I wonder what cologne he uses. Unlike Seb, Enzo is big. His presence alone is intimidating, especially when he is this close.
"Why don't you have your ring, Bella?" He grabs my chin and lifts my head to him.
"No reason," I dryly swallow. I can feel the warmth radiating from him. Why didn't he wear a fucking shirt? This man must be fucking strong.
"Do you realize that I don't like games?"
"Is that ring important to you? Last time I checked, you didn't want me here." I quickly push the man away to create enough space between us. I can't think when he is in my space.
"Is that why you go around entertaining other males"
"What?" I look at him in surprise and realize that's why I am here. Does he have cameras in the house? in my fucking room? "I didn't do anything..."
"You fucking let him touch you," he groans and instantly pins me on the wall. "You let that idiot touch you," Enzo grits out, and I don't even know why he is angry.
He has never done this before. We have stayed out of each other's business for the three months I have been here and it makes me wonder why he is behaving like this suddenly.
He started this behavior yesterday.
"Now, give me a reason why I shouldn't put a bullet in his head right now," he grumbles as his chest heaves.
Weird.
"He fucking has a girlfriend or mate..."
"Yeah, but you want him, anyway."
Oh! fuck. I can't believe we are arguing about Hunter. What got into him today?
"Why does it matter?" I whisper, trying to push him but he doesn't let me this time. His hand grips my neck, and his quick breath is literally on my face. Warm and a bit ticklish.
I silently watch his angry eyes and nothing makes sense.
"Go put that ring on, and if he dares come close to you, I promise you, I will kill him right in front of you" his eyes dangerously glimmers and I know he is not bluffing.
"Okay" I mumble, but he doesn't move. His hand looses on my neck and his fingers immerse in my hair instead.
Enzo's eyes remain on my face. It is as if he has never seen me before. His eyes trail to my lips and he lowly groans.
What is he doing?
His fingers comb out of my hair and he silently pulls away. The man turns his back on me and after regaining my composure, I slowly walk away feeling a little... disoriented.
Enzo is intense.
