7 She's mine

Ok after the kiss well more of peck near the mouth ,it got me thinking did he like me or he just did what he felt like, kissing because he was in the mood for it. In my crazy head I somehow come to the conclusion to ask him.

I knock on the door and just enter,"do you like me?" Well there goes for tactic, can't believe I've just blurted it out " What?" he asks feigning surprise but I don't buy it, "do you like me?" This time I say it slower.

"Do you like me?" she asks me a second time.I know this is about the kiss, I really do not know why I did it, It was just felt right, innate like it was something I was meant to do, I really do not want her to get any closer to me than she is, I have let this go on for too long,"No,what would give you that idea, you are just a maid why would I like you?" I say indifferently like it's what I do, I use people when I'm bored, when really, the kiss has to be the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. "But why did you kiss me?" For some reason this is hurting me, I can almost feel my heart wrenching when really I don't even have one, and not in the teenage quarter life crisis kind, I literally have no heart, so what is hurting inside? I have to do this though, for her sake, before we go in deeper,"it was just a kiss sweetheart, so if you can just close the door behind you." I say trying to feign boredom."Sure, master."Her voice cracks, she walks out of the room but I am sure I see a stray tear on her cheek, my heart clenches from the pain I am causing her but I can't let this continue anymore or she will get hurt even more.

I run out of the room crying, I can't believe I was so stupid to think for a minute that he actually liked me, that selfish arrogant man,does he even have a heart? If I was in a better mood I would have laughed at the irony of that question, he really doesn't have a heart.

Why did I let him lead me on? For a minute there I actually thought he was changing, for me? I guess I really am stupid. I will never trust him again, never, so at that I make a decision to just be his PA, nothing else.

when I finally come out of my room, I'm still crushed but I guess that's life, you take what it throws at you and try to.keep your head above the water, because really, that's the only thing you can do.

As I am passing outside the study, Cole corners me,"So beautiful, I was thinking, do you want to go get dinner with me tonight?" he asks in a flirty tone. Why am I not surprised, guess heartbreaker players runs in the family, I am about to reject his offer but I am interrupted, "she is not going anywhere with you, she's mine." Hades answers for me, well that sure changes everything, "sure Cole I would love to." I totally ignore Hades, he looks a little taken aback but recovers quickly "Ok, do what you want but don't come crying back to me when he hurts you." I roll my eyes at that, he acts like I'm getting married to him or something, it's just one stupid date, and let's be honest it is more for some sense of petty revenge that somehow takes the sting out of Hades rejection. Cole smiles at me and tells me he will pick me at seven pm.

I apply the last coat of lipstick and check if I have left anything behind, everything is borrowed from Mary who has lived here longer and has somehow managed to have some clothes other than our normal uniforms and some makeup, I guess necessity really does make you resourceful. When I told Mary I was going out with Cole she said go have fun while smiling but it did not reach her eyes, I guess I too wouldn't be happy if someone snatched a guy I found attractive, well vampire guy but you get what I mean.

I find Cole waiting for me outside my door,"milady," he says as he offers me his hand, I quickly take it and we go to the car. As I pass Hades study door I realise that he hasn't come out of his study since he found out I was going out with Cole, and is that bourbon I smell? Seems someone's not happy I'm having fun without him, but oh well maybe that's wishful thinking.

When we get to the restaurant, Cole opens the door for me like a gentleman, I wonder why Hades hates him so much but heck who does he love anyway except himself, I won't ruin this night by thinking about him.

'So, what do you want,milady?"Cole asks while looking at the menu. "You know you can just call me Jules right?" "What,and miss the chance of seeing you blush every time I call you that?"he asks while smirking, man can't he just smile like a normal guy? Well normal is a little far fetched but seriously it wouldn't kill to show a smile once in a while. "Sure, whatever makes you sleep at night," I let out with a sarcastic drawl which makes him smile, finally a smile.

"So I couldn't help but wonder, is there some sort of debauchery going on with my brother?" I chock on my saliva which is definitly not a norm witb me,"water?" "Yes, please."I whisper hoarsley not wanting my euology do read' death by choking on her own saliva, how pathetic would that be? Won't colour me as the graceful swan that's for sure. "Soo?"He asks a while after my almost dying fiasco, ok maybe I'm being a little dramatic, it wasn't really that bad, I didn't see my life flashing through my eyes Which admittedly would be a sad affair of about three seconds involving nothing but me on the couch devouring food like it's the last time I get to, wow my life is sad. "No, I am just his PA." I finally answer. "Is that why you choked on absolutely nothing?" he asks while laughing, I laugh along with him. After a while he continues with the conversation,"I guess my brother was just jealous of me when I asked you out, that's why he claimed that your his, don't let him fool you, he loves nobody but himself." He says proving what I was thinking.

When we get home, the usual tension of the boy kissing the girl in front of the girl's door is not there since we do share the same front door but he kisses me anyway on the cheek and bids me goodbye.

When I get to my room the first thing that catches my attention is the smell of bourbon. I am wondering where it's comimg from until I see Hades sitting on Jade's bed, drinking his from a bottle.

"You sure took your sweet time coming back." He slurs as he comes close to me, I can smell the alcohol in his breath but the usual hint of mint is still there. "You know when you accepted his offer something in me broke apart but it also made me realize something, you will not always be there for me to take whenever I want to, someone else might just snatch you and take you away and we can't let that happen, can we? Cause. you. are . mine." He puts emphasis on every word, my heart flatters but I remember what he did and I push him back,"You are mine even when you deny it to yourself, you have been mine since you walked into that study on that day, even your body knows it's mine, you can't stop the chord that pulls us together, baby and apparently neither can I." He says as he puts his hands on my neck, and as if to support his point, I shiver, I can't deny to myself, it is the good kind. "When I touch you like this," he runs his hand down my throat to the side of my breasts and a traitorous moan comes out."see, you are mine and no one else can have what is mine." I am smitten even though I promised myself I wouldn't, I find my heart flattering."Don't let anyone else have what is mine, got it?" His voice is so dark and demanding I can't help but nod. He seems satisfied with my answer. Suddenly he looks at my lips and before I know it, his are on mine, oh my God, it is actually happening, he tastes so good even though he has alcohol breathe. A moan comes out as he touches my breasts. "I can't, I can't let your first time be like this, it should be special." He says and my heart clenches for the amount of consideration he has for me. As I am about to thank him he suddenly collapses on top of me, I roll my eyes at his sudden need for shut eye, well that's not a very graceful way to end a moment, pun intended. I move him and tuck him inside the blanket before getting in beside him. As I look at him, I can't help the smile that forms on my lips, Hades Grayson what are you doing to me......?
