The Bully's Obsession novel Chapter 12

　　Mom had left for work after breakfast , it was just I and Ashley at home...

　　I couldn't sleep last night, when I had managed to a nightmare had woken me up

　　Today was the day I've been dreading, I have to meet him

　　I took a long warm shower and washed my hair, I selected a simple outfit which consisted of a long sleeved shirt and a woolen plaided skirt

　　It was quite cold this morning because of the rain last night so I opted for a sweater

　　Books.....

　　Phone....

　　Backpack.....

　　Everything was in place, the only thing missing was courage...

　　His gaze had promised revenge, to go to his house should be the last thing I should do, but I also couldn't fail at this project...

　　He refused to meet at a cafe or even at my house....

　　I stared at the address he'd sent me still wondering how he got my number....

　　Some things don't add up, like how he knew my house, knew that my mom wasn't around the other day I fell sick and now my cellphone number...

　　Going to his house felt like I was making a visit with the devil himself, but there was no other choice....

　　It was either him or my project.....

　　***********************************

　　Its been almost minutes after a man I saw at the gate had directed me

　　but I still didn't come across his house yet

　　Then I saw it...

　　It wasn't a house, it was more like a mansion

　　I stared at the house before me with my mouth hung open, it was so huge and beautiful, it was modern yet classic at the same time...

　　My fingers shook as I pressed at the doorbell...

　　No more than five seconds later the door swung open revealing him...

　　Had he been waiting for me?

　　He was wearing a tight fitted shirt that showcased the wide expanse of his well defined muscles along with a faded jean that hung just below his waist line

　　I averted my gaze quickly but not before seeing the corners of his lips quirked in a smirk

　　"I've been expecting you, you don't plan to stay outside do you ?" He said casually but i couldn't help but feel there was an underlying context in his words

　　"I'm here for our project assignment" I said clutching my bag to my side even more firmly 

　　My heart was pounding wildly out of control...

　　"Then come inside so we can get started"

　　He stepped aside but I was still glued to my spot

　　A sigh escaped his mouth as he shot me a glare

　　"If I want to hurt you , do you think staying right outside will stop me? Don't be so dumb unless this project isn't so important to you after all then you can leave"

　　We stared at each other for a while before I averted my gaze

　　He entered inside and this time I followed him, if I thought the outside was beautiful the interior design left me completely speechless
