Fallen

Chapter 15

Ezra's POV:
___________

The sun's rays scattered from the window to land on her sleeping, smiling face. I ran my fingers through her hair, slowly stroking it.

I repeat the events of last night when the ringing of my phone stopped me. I got out of bed and answered it quickly for fear of waking her up.

"¿Sí?" i answered.

"Señor, encontramos ese ratón." (sir, we've found the mouse.) the man on the phone spoke.

"Buen trabajo, mantenlo allí. Estoy en camino." i turned my eyes to that sleepy beauty. (Good job, keep him there, I'm on my way.)

I grunted, slicking my hair back.

I think that what is happening between Aurora and I does not prevent me from returning to practice my work, or returning to my old personality.

I planted a kiss on her forehead and headed to my room. It was dawn, and I was sure Casper had been gone all night.

I changed my clothes and left.

I entered the house and it was Aurora's face that first met me.

"Where were you?" she asked puzzled.

"Out," I replied coldly.

"I know, I'm asking you where you've been out."

"It doesn't matter"

She nodded and pushed me away from the door and then walked out.

"To where?" I followed her.

"Uh, maybe school?" She rolled her eyes mockingly.

"Oh no little miss, don't roll your eyes when you talk to me." I grabbed her wrist.

"Yeah? Why not?"

"I think you remember what happened the last time you did something I told you not to do." i grinned.

"whatever."

"Come on, I'll drive you to school."

Silence settled between us, and it was clear that she did not want to break it, so I spoke not removing my eyes from the road.

"So, i don't think you'll tell your boyfriend about last night, are you?"

"He's not my boyfriend. I know you know. and I know that you heard us in the kitchen. So stop your little act." she scoffed with an annoying tone.

I parked the car on the side of the road.

"No, amor. No me hables con ese tono otra vez". i gave ger a cold look. (No love, do not talk to me with that tone again.)

"Oh, so we're playing orders now? Well and you do not come near me again. understood?" she placed her finger on my chest.

"Oh, little miss wants me to go away now?" i held her hand in mine smirking.

"Yes." she lowered her voice.

"No puedo amor, y no quiero sinceramente." (I can't love, and I don't want to honestly.)

"Then don't order me again. I'm not good at taking orders." she looked at my eyes waiting for my answer.

my eyes softened , so did my voice. i don't want to be rough with her or order her but I can't control it.

it is who I am. Who I've always been and who I'll ever be.

roughness has always been in my actions and words.

I command and I order. It's what I've been doing for a very long time, or at least since I can remember.

I didn't answer her and kept driving.

We arrived in front of her school and fortunately the lessons hadn't started yet. I looked at her one last look and smiled at her and then headed back to my work,

where i can be that rough monster who makes everyone afraid. And i love it that way.
