Stolen moments

Chapter 25

I sighed as I close the door, just got back from work cause am through with my shift. It was an hectic day because I was avoiding Hunter, trust me its not funny trying to hide in awkward places and positions just not to see him... But I miss him so much, is it bad that I miss him so much. I quickly walked into my room since no one is around, taking of my outfit, I picked another one which consists of my thin strap sleeves tank top and my shorts with new under wears, i came out of my room, walking towards the bathroom at the end of the hallway, that's the bathroom we all shared. I remembered when I was in high school, we wake up early in the morning and me and twins always race to see who gets to the bathroom first, Matt always loses, he is any heavy sleeper, if you place that guy under the sea, he will still sleep like a baby. I remove my towel smiling at the thought as the water drizzles over my head down my body, I pick the vanilla scented shampoo and lather my hair, washing it out, I quickly wash and clean my body.

I step out of the shower wrapping a new towel around my body, I look at the mirror and I stare at my reflection, blue eyes stared back at me almost the same colour with my necklace, its mine now. My brunette almost honey like hair was all wet, my face bare, i smile which immediately turn into a frown. What does he see in me?... Do I look cheap to him or a gold digger that made him keep such a sensitive information from me. I look away as I quickly got dressed, running my hand through my hair leaving it to dry out. I came out wearing my cute bunny slippers Rosalia got me last year, walking towards the kitchen but stop when I heard the insistence ringing of the bell. My food will have to wait till later... I thought as I walk towards the door, opened it to see a familiar face I almost glared at him but was shocked and surprised when I saw the bruises.

"What happened to you?!" I cried out pulling him inside, my anger towards him forgotten, i quickly directed him towards the couch, he groans as he sat down, i quickly ran towards the bathroom to get the first aid box. After I grabbed it I rushed back to him, quickly kneeling down to get out the necessary aids, he groaned in pain again.

"Tony are you okay?" He looks at me as if I was stupid, of course he was not OK. He keeps clenching and squeezing is stomach. "Take of your clothes" he smirks at him and I groaned realizing how that sounds like.

"I ne-never knew you were that hungry for me" I glared at him as he carefully took of his black leather jacket then his white v-neck. I gasp as I saw the bruises on his stomach, it was worse than the one on his face. I quickly went to work... After fifteen minutes of applying the first aid and cleaning his face. I asked the burning question.

"What happened?"

"Nothing.. "

"Don't tell me its nothing, you came here all beaten up!" I snapped at him.

"Trust me... Am better, the other guy looks worse" I sat up beside him glaring at him.

"You got into a fight?" Sounding disappointed.

"Its not my fault, he was saying shit" he said staring at me as I check his face for any other bruise. There was silence for some time then he decided to break it. "Am sorry Leah.. " he pouts, as I roll my eyes not falling for his antics this time.

"Shut up, and let me take care of you" I try to touch his chin but he is quick to grab my hand, squeezing it gently, i sigh.

"I am not mad at you, Tony" he grins

"Really?" I nod, as he gently puts on his shirt.

"But why do you say those words to me?" I asked him quietly, i mean he his a guy, he knows what their specie is capable of. 

"I don't want you to get hurt... I was trying to protect you" he shrugs, looking uncomfortable with the topic "do you like him?" He clenched his jaws. I answered him with my silence, of course I like him but he his hurting me already, how do I tell Antonio this? I was about to speak up when I was cut off by a ringing tone, our eyes fell on the sofa, Antonio's phone rang out, the caller id 'Jared'.

"I got to go... Thanks for the first aid" he said as he carefully got up I tried to help him but he stopped me.

"Oh oh... Wait, let me get you the cookies I baked for Jared"

"Hey! What about me?" He gave me the puppy eyes.

"Oh please as if you won't take out of it.. I made enough anyway, he personally placed his order"

"Then he should have gone to aunt's shop"

"He didn't tell my mother, he told me.. Jealous much" I smirked. He shakes his head, grabbing his jacket.

"I will be outside" he opens the door, going out as I went back to packing the cookies.

************************************

I packed my car in front of the porch of the dainty house, i stare at the fancy car suspiciously,"does she have a visitor?" i asked myself getting out of the car. I walked towards the porch when the door suddenly opens, I stopped walking staring at him as he walked out going through the open area in between the fence, he stares at me intently more like glares at me.

"What are you doing here?" He snaps at me, i stare at him confused, what the hell is this dude problem?

"Excuse me" I step away from him trying to walk around him but he blocked my way.

"Oh you are excused, fucker"

"What the-!  What's your problem dude" I snap at him, getting angry.

"You! You are my problem! You can't just come from no where and try to take her away from me!" I grow more confused, what is this guy saying?, are they together? No... That can't be, she won't lie to me.

"What are you saying? She is my girlfriend and she is mine alone, you are nothing but just her friend" I growled at him, that was when I realized we were nose to nose with each other. He chuckled which sounds dark, where did Leah meet this fellow?.

"Don't be so sure about that pretty boy...She may be yours now but she could be mine in future, i have known her for a long time now" he smirks, as I glare at him "and besides, you should tell her more about yourself, no need of lying about yourself"

"What do you mean by that?!" I snarled.

"Oh please don't pretend or play dumb it doesn't suit you.. Or lying is part of what they taught you in the elite world in other for you to survive_"

"Shut up" I growled at him feeling like using my fists to shut him up but I controlled myself knowing Leah was inside that house somewhere.

"Or what? Will you tell mummy or sue me for telling you to behave like a man?" he smiles sadistically at me talking in a babyish voice as if am a toddler not before dropping the final bomb that drove  me mad "Knight's spoilt heir" he jabs at me with a sadistic glint in his eyes like he knows more than what he is saying.

"You litt-" I raised my fist, driving it towards his face but was stopped abruptly by a soft hand as she pulls me to a hug.

"What is going on here?" Her voice immediately calming me down.

"Nothing princess" I cringe at the pet name he gave her, his voice calming as if he didn't threaten me a while ago. He stares at her with so much passion and adoration and there is another thing I couldn't pin point, how hasn't Leah notice this, i looked down at Leah as her arms is still around me, i quickly put my arm around her inhaling are lovely scent, Antonio glared at my arms as I smirk at him "who is the winner now?" I thought.

"I thought I heard you two arguing" she said looking at the both of us. I tried speaking but the jackass beats me to it.

"Its nothing... I got to go" he said, sounding angry. She looks skeptical but nods.

"Here are the cookies" she removes her hand from my waist, handing over a big purple cylindrical container to him. He took it not before hugging her intimately, he smirks at me as I glared at him, i quickly grab her from him, keeping my hand on her waist, she quickly glares at me, but waves at Antonio as he got to his car, starts it then leave, as soon as the car disappeared from sight. She quickly removes my hand from her waist, stumping back into the house. I groaned.

"Now am back to being ignored"

That was an intense scene... Who do you prefer? Hunter or Antonio? Comments please
